Title: Saddest Game Moments?
Post by: StarfallRaptor on December 11, 2007, 06:32:09 PM
Well, here goes...
Post what you think are the saddest moments in video games ever...

I'll Start.
1)Navi Leaving (LOZ: OOT)
2) Axel's Death (KH2)  "I guess this is what happens when you put your entire being into an attack.  Especially when you don't have a being..." :cry
3) The end of Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night...

Provided I was like 8, I cried at the end of Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars (well... teared up :p)


I don't think I've completed enough games to be sad, usually I'm too impatient to beat a game XD

the only one i can think of right now is the metroid's death in Super Metroid, that got me pretty choked up when i was younger. Other then that, i can't really think of any.
Title: Saddest Game Moments?
Post by: WeirdRaptor on December 11, 2007, 08:27:35 PM
My list:

1. The end of Final Fantasy X
2. Roxas's "end" at the beginning of KHII (seriously, DyZ and Riku isolated him and gave him no other option).
3. Axel's death (also KHII)
4. A tragic scene concerning a certain flower girl in Final Fantasy VII
5. The baby Metroid's death in Super Metroid (a child saving his "mum", basically)
6. Any of the serious moments concerning the kids in Twlight Princess

6) Roxas "end" and Axel's end in KH2
7) MegaMan Battle Network 3's ending

That's all I can currently think of at the moment. -_-

Aeris' death was the only sad moment in gaming that made me cry. In fact, I had accidentally flipped open the strategy guide in GameStop (when it was called Babbages) and landed on that page and THEN I cried XD I was quite young at the time, though.

Other moments that are sad but didn't actually make me cry? Well, I'm sure there are more but the big one is the whole "revelation" scene in Silent Hill 2. The "stair of fire" scene is also sad. I won't tell you guys why, go play it!

The apartment scene in Silent Hill 3 is pretty sad, too...

Actually, the whole series is sad XD Of course, what horror game isn't?

The Gardevoir storyline in Mystery Dungeon is quite sad.
The ending of Super Paper Mario.
The ending of E-102 Gamma's storyline in Sonic Adventure. The end of Sonic Adventure 2 is sad too.

However, perhaps the saddest ending I've ever seen was the end of the gameboy Zelda game "Link's Awakening". I always get depressed when I finish that one XD

When you had to kill Rundas in Metroid Prime 3.  You could tell Samus really had a strong feeling for him and how reluctant she was to put him out of his misery.
Title: Saddest Game Moments?
Post by: Raptor on January 21, 2008, 12:32:44 PM
A side note, commenting on Cyber's post, but it seems like Rundas killed himself after you defeat him. He seems to regain control for a few moments, then raises his hand, seeming to summon the spikes of ice that impale him. Perhaps to prevent Dark Samus from retaking control?

Maybe he killed himself because of the shame of defeat? If you read his little biography it says that he thinks he is unrivaled or that hes the best bounty hunter (something along those lines, can't exactly remember what it said). Or maybe he realized that he can't fight the corruption anymore and decided to kill himself to prevent anymore harm? Those are my takes on Rundas. But in my opinion, i think that Gandrayda's death was the worst for Samus. Especially when she transformed into Samus as she was dying, Samsu couldn't even look at her. But maybe she just couldn't stand seeing her comrades be die by her own hands.

Overall though, i think the saddest moment in that game is, like Pokeplayer mentioned, when Samus is remembering back about each hunter at the end of the game.

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams' real ending. It didn't make me cry, but it was a sad moment.

I mean, you realize that by defeating Wizeman all Nightmare will be gone, including NiGHTS who's a Nightmaren, and even still you fight and defeat him. Then you witness NiGHTS dissapearing and Helen and Will waking up in tears crying that their friend who helped them overcome their fears is gone forever, it really made me feel sad for them.

For, Final Fantasy XI has a lot of the saddest gaming moments:

Cyan losing his entire family and his kingdom.
Kefka murdering the Espers.
Locke's whole backstory.
Edgar and Sabin's stories.
Celes losing Cid.


Then there's Tales of Symphonia:

Colette dying when she fulfilled her purpose as the Chosen (yes, she was brought back later, but its still a very emotional moment).

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War.  The part where the aircraft carrier Kestrel gets sunk.  After surviving all those battles and serving as a home to the squadron after they were driven rom their base, it is sunk by an enemy submarine near the end of the game.  It was one of my favorite ships in the series, next to the Marigold from Ace Combat 6.

That's Final Fantasy VI in England, although I believe in the States it's III.

In Metal Gear Solid, when Sniper Wolf is dying, also when Psycho Mantis is dying.

Mass Effect: Mass Effect in itself holds some sad moments that are unavoidable.

The main one in particular that's sad is when your team member dies. (You have to choose between Ashley and Kaiden.)

Worst thing is that you could pick the wrong choice on one of the stages and lose the team member for good when it could've been avoided by picking a different choice. (I actually lost Wrex once this way.) :(

Geez!  Not only is it sad, but it's your own fault in the end. :cry2

I forgot about a sad game moment i've had. I don't expect anyone on here to have played this game but, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: When you have to kill Big Smoke (Main characters friend). That just made me sad, and i sat there lost in my thoughts for some reason.

Katsuie Shibata's sacrifice.  Locks himself into a burning castle, telling his adopted son...
"History doesn't need me anymore"

I rarely cry to video games, probably as they arent as deep as movies (which i cry often on :D).

this one time, though.

SPOILERS    SPOILERS    SPOILERS
SPOILERS    SPOILERS    SPOILERS
SPOILERS    SPOILERS    SPOILERS
SPOILERS    SPOILERS    SPOILERS

at the end of Sonic Adventure DX. E102-Gamma's ending.
 
most of the campaign is spent destroying the other E robots, and one of those fluffy things comes out of it, as they often do in sonic games.

so you go through it, destroying these robots, and after you beat the final boss, theres a cinematic which shows that there is also a fluffy thing inside E102-Gamma, which its family is waiting for.

E102-Gamma sacrifices himself after a short life of hardship and having to destroy his other "brother" robots. i found it very sad :(.

sorry if reviving threads isnt allowed here. i checked all the rules and found nothing saying it cant be done. i just felt compelled to reply to this one though. :)

yea... I cried at that part as well.

eh..

The pokÈmon was a human before, but changed in a pokÈmon due some problems in time. but.. the pokemon fades away when the problems in time are solved.. The one it started with is really sad because the human/pokÈmon was his only friend. Then the master of time realizes the pain, and sends the human/pokemon back to the pokÈmon world...

It's really pretty if you followed the whole game.. They also show flashbacks..

I haven't ever actually cried at any games. (I did cry once at a TV shot, but that's not the topic to discuss this on.) I did find the ending of the Eternal Night to be quite sad though and the song "Broken Soul" only reinforced that feeling.

The Ending of Force Unleashed.

You've played as the Secret Apprentice through the entire game, seen him face his demons, and in the end, watch as he attempts to kill Palpatine with a suicide lightning attack.  What made it so sad were two scenes.  

1) Vader looking down at him for a moment, then shaking his head, saying...
"He is...Dead..."

With such sadness that you can tell he has lost all hope of being free from what he became, and

2)  Juno (Your pilot/love interest) standing alone on Kashyyk, looking up at the stars, when your second mentor, Master Rahm Kota, walks up beside her, starting a conversation...
"You knew who he was all along, didn't you?" (Juno)
"Maybe I did."
"Then why did you help us?"
(Master Kota pauses, then responds)
"When I saw him again on Cloud City, I saw anger, fear, and darkness in his heart.  But in the midst of it all, I saw one beautiful, shining thing."
"What was that?"
(Kota looks at her for a moment)
"You."
(He walks back inside, as Juno looks at the stars shining above her...)

So sad, and so... touching...
 :cry

PROXY's death is also sad, because he dies defending you, and he has mimicked the appearance of Obi-Wan, Vader's old master...

I'd say in Call of Duty for DS when Captain Gregoriev is sniped. Not sad, but he had the best quote in the game.

*shoots twice at deserter* "Consider this a promotion comrade, now get in the tank."

Also, the ending in Alien Hominid and Captain Keyes' death in Halo.

Aerith's death is the winner for sure. No one saw that one coming, and they made it permanent... no miraculous resurrection, no reunion between Cloud and Aerith.

Seargent Johnson's death in Halo 3 is pretty sad as well, and even more sudden than Aerith's... and we all though that Johnson had dodged the bullet back on the Ark...

The end of Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night...
I have an off topic question (Please don't kill me Andy-Rex) to our Spyro experts. I've never had a console, thus never played any spyro games, but I did hear, read and watch (youtube) a bit about the plot of the latest Spyro trilogy. Did I understand the part right that at the end of the final episode (Dawn of the Dragon) it turns out that the character Cynder had throughout the whole second episode (Eternal Night), deliberately worked for that bad master?
Another question is about the end of Eternal Night which you mentioned, that crystal in which Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx end up at the end of that episode (summoned apparently by Spyro) what is it? Is there any mention or explanation earlier in the episode of what Spyro was doing there to protect himself and the others from the collapsing rock?

Post by: StarfallRaptor on July 23, 2009, 07:29:33 PM
I wouldn't say she was working for him.  It was more like he used her to get things happening how he wanted them to.  Against her will.
As for the end of the second game, it never really is all that well explained.  Possibly time manipulation.

Anyhow, Lisa Garland's death from the original Silent Hill.

Spoilers...





The death of Agustus Sinclair in BioShock 2.  He was a character that I got attached to even though I knew all along that he was just helping me for his own purposes.  He gets turned into an Alpha Series and the player is forced to kill him to obtain a genetic key so they can escape Rapture in his escape pod.  He asks Delta to kill him so he doesn't have to spend the rest of his life as a big daddy.  

Also what happened to mark Meltzer was pretty sad.

Dash Rendar's "death" was kind of sad in Shadows of the Empire, but I feel like his character should have been developed way more than it was. If he wasn't a Han Solo knockoff I probably would have found his abrupt crash more dramatic.

MASSIVE SPOILERS

Update for my list:

I got this really cool game called "Ico". At the closing bit, your primary partner for the game has died and then been reborn as a creature of darkness. On top of that your highly sympathetic player character is beaten within an inch of his life during the final boss battle as the castle he's been trapped in by his own village starts crumbling around him and he's lost consciousness and is unable to flee for his life. I've never been so saddened and enraged by the finale of a game before, but then... Find it, play it, and you'll see what happenes next. It's surprising.

^ I have this game called "Shadow Of The Colossus" which was made by the same people who made ICO and is a prequel to that game, as for any depressing moments in SOTC,there are many, but the most depressing one is the ending:

I've played that game, never got around to finishing it though.  But man, i do feel rather sad when I kill some of the Colossi.  I mean some, I'm glad I kill, but others, like that huge dragon thing....well, it sucks when ones like them have to be killed.

you mean the 13th colossus, I felt bad for that one too, and when I found out that some of them were female(including that one), I felt for them even more, they didn't have to die.
Title: Saddest Game Moments?
Post by: MrDrake on March 30, 2010, 10:32:50 PM
I think it was the 13th one.  But yeah, it was indeed sad.

Another one for me is in Kingdom Hearts 2 when you're in Hollow Bastion and a rock is blasted out and hits Goofy on the head, believing that he is dead.  I still can't get over that part, gets me everytime I play it, even though I know he's just been knocked out cold.

In Heretic II when you're in the canyon/desert and the lizard that dies after giving you the info. That's the only game moment I can recall being sad.

Oh man, if you see the death of Thane in Mass Effect 2 when you go on the final mission, it is just horrible.  True, those that play the game know he's going to die of an illness eventually, but you can't help but get attached to this guy.  He is a very emotional religious assassin.  It's rare you find a character like this.

And when the beam of the ship impaled him, I was just heartbroken.  He was one of the best, and I could have really used him in that final match. :(

The ending of Final Fantasy VII:Crisis Core, some Final Fantasy games are known for having depressing endings(FFX) or some depressing moment in them(Aerith's death in FF7) but this one takes the cake.

Zack, the character you've been playing as the entire game, has been gunned down by Shinra soldiers and afterwords Cloud(the protagonist of the original FF7) comes out of hiding and he and Zack have their last conversation before Zack dies,later you hear Zack say "would you say I became a hero", you've got to admit, most video games don't usaully end like this.

Oh yes, FFX's ending, forgot about that one, since it's been ages since I played it last (only cause I lost my copy of it), but I have to say, it can be rather depressing indeed.

Sorry to bump an old topic but I had something to add.  

SPOILER ALERT!
If you have already played CoD Black Ops or don't care about seeing spoilers, go ahead and read on.  if not, I suggest you hit the back button now.

Remember Dimitri and Reznov from Call of Duty: World at War?  Well guess what!  They both appear in Black ops.  Unfortunately, they both get killed off in Black Ops too, which really sucks because Reznov is my favorite character in the CoD series.  

Dimitri's death is particularly gruesome and tragic though.  Basically, his commanding officer, Dragovich, pulls a "General Shepherd" on him and locks everyone in a gas chamber, then releases a Nazi bio weapon into the chamber.  Dimitri and his men die a slow, agonizing death while Reznov watches helplessly from the other side of a glass window.  Yeah, that's pretty damn depressing.

Here's the video.

So, this thread has been dead for a good long while, but...
Armored Core 4: For Answer is just...wow.  There are two paths that are remarkably sad, and then the third path.  In one, you have to end up condemning humanity to a slow, gradual decline due to having poisoned the planet, as well as allowing the megacorps that caused that situation in the first place to get away scot-free.  The second really hits hard.  In order to ensure the future of humanity, you have to shut down the flying cities they built, and, in the epilogue, it states that your actions killed untold many people, including infants, and that, in the end, humanity won't change at all.  I mean, DAMN.

Ok, so I know the game came out in 2010, but I only just recently got around to buying  Red Dead Redemption and fell in love with it as soon as I started playing.  I finished the game a couple days ago, and you can probably see where this is going...

Actually, the whole game is pretty sad and depressing.

The ending of Assassin's Creed 4.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2RQ8YkqeEU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2RQ8YkqeEU)
The part at 0:31 where Edward sees all his dead pirate friends sitting around the table is especially poignant when you're reminded of all the friends he lost during his journey.

First:

End of Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon.





The human turned into Pokémon manages to save the world, thinks, that he has to leave the world, but it is not him, it is his partner who is forcibly being taken away from the world, the light takes him away.

 I never watched that scene again from the moment I played it last time in 2017. I would cry for sure.

Second: Mr. and Mrs. Bellic- Deal ending. GTA IV




Dimitris hitman tries to kill Niko, Niko avoids being killed, but bullet hits Roman, and he is dead. Very sad, I watched it only one time in my life (perhaps 2009) , and few times I came across it unaware, I turn it off immediately, I would cry as well.

Third: Light My Pyre GTA VCS




Armando Mendez kidnaps Victor's girlfriend, and when he rescues her, she dies shortly afterwards.

The ending to Super Mario Galaxy is so sad.

I replayed that game when I got Super Mario 3D All-Stars on the Switch, and ever since I saw that ending, I’ve always said that this and the Spider-man PS4 ending were the saddest endings I watched.

Spoilers for Metroid Dread within the spoiler tag below.

Spoiler: ShowHide
The death of Quiet Robe in Metroid Dread, especially due to not only being the first living Chozo that Samus had seen in a very long time which is friendly to her, but also her having to hear his backstory of how his tribe had created the Metroids, wanted to destroy them when they became too much of a threat, only for the vile Raven Beak of another tribe to have other intentions of using the Metroids as a bioweapon, and then him proceeding to slaughter the tribe from which Quiet Robe came from, and also leaving him alive solely so he can help him clone Metroids as a slave. After how much he goes out of his way to welcome Samus especially considering the Chozo had raised Samus and were believed extinct for such a long time, only for Raven Beak's soldiers to kill Quiet Robe right in front of Samus with how Quiet Robe had outlived his usefulness and also having turned against Raven Beak to help Samus.

It gets even more emotional at the very end of the game when Samus in her newfound Metroid Suit form winds up being incapable of escaping ZDR on her ship without risking draining her whole ship of energy as the Adam AI warns her, but when Quiet Robe's body shows up as possessed by an X-Parasite, Quiet Robe's sheer willpower allows him to sacrifice himself to have Samus absorb him and have Samus back to her normal self which allows her to finally start up her ship and escape the imminent destruction of ZDR.
