Saddest Gaming Moments

[Foxy Brown]

Deus Ex: I learned that a freighter was smuggling a biological weapon into America, so I storm the ship, slaughter everyone onboard, and start it sinking.

Then I read an email to the captain from his young daughter saying that she misses him, and she hopes he'll be home soon. Then I read a letter the captain had written that suggested that the only reason he was doing it was that the evil conspirators had threatened his family.

My bad.

Valkyrie Profile: all the characters you recruit die tragically.

Braid ! When you understand the real meaning of the story !

FFVII didn't cry, never really liked aerith... yeah, I went there.

FFIX end wasn't really sad, I guess... but it did bring a tear to my eye cus I'm a romantic at heart and I thought the ending was done very well

FFX fffuuuuuuuuuuuu thought the end was so sad... when they went to hug... ;_;

Chrono Cross might be alone on this one, but when Harle leaves your party for good, and she's on the ship talking to whoever about it... liked her so much

^ In FF7 I knew it was going to happen, so I avoided bonding with her and didn't spend too much time training her. :/ If/when I play FF7 again, I want to give her more attention lolol

I didn't find this as sad as it was mind bending and mildly creepy.

When Jack died in Mass Effect 2 ... she just fell in love with the main character ... then bam!!! taken out by a collector ship beam attack. I don't want to even explain why it's so fucked up.

FFVII will claim this thread any day.
Crisis Core, another FFVII spinoff game features Zack's tragic end which is also sad.

Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 bad/Ideon ending everyone dies!!!
Also the "real" ending with CGI, background music is Brother in Faith by JAM Project. Its really a solemn song, its sad because its like saying goodbye to the characters of the game.

I'm surprised Super Metroid hasn't been mentioned yet.



First time I really felt bummed about a video game's storyline. Also first time experiencing game mechanics in which I'm supposed to "lose" in order to progress (the Mother Brain battle, as well as the first encounter with the giant metroid).
