Saddest moment in a game

Archive: 72 posts

Ok you big manly gaming men, come throw you "bah its only a story, I dont care" at me - but apart from that what was the saddest moment in a game for you?

seeing as 99% of these are going to be spoilers please use spoiler tags

I gotta say I only recently picked up Valkyria chronicles and when:

Isara dies, with all the signing and everyone saying goodbye at the grave...it was heartbreaking

Also on a side note I just thought of, do you think things like graphics have taken priority over moments like this, you just don't see them anymore. Most of the really epic storytelling seems to happen in older games (or perhaps thats just nostalgia)		2009-01-29 19:35:00

There are two I remember most:
FFVII:

when Sephirot killed Aerith/Aeris


Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver:

I slayed Kain, Raziel followed him in the portal and THE GAME ENDED right there!!!!!!		2009-01-29 19:42:00

The only game in the past few years that actually made me cry was, strangly enough, Tales of the Abyss- which is one of my favorite games ever, but anyway...

When you are brought to Akzeriuth, and Luke kills 10,000 people in the blink of an eye without realizing it. Then, you see a little boy who somehow survived the explosion drown in the miasma and die before your eyes. Then, right after the fact, you are thrown into some strange world beaneath you, and are found by one of your enemies, who reveals that you are in fact his clone, a "second rate copy", who was only created so he could kill 10,000 people and everything he had he stole from him. And then, everyone in your party abandons you for your original for a little while.

Later on, the main character and his original are fighting on top of a tower over who has more of a right to die and commit mass suicide with 10,000 other clones or "replicas". Then, the main character, aka the clone, thinking that everyone would be better off without him and how much he's already screwed up the world, wins and manages to commit mass suicide- he manages to surive due to some jewel he absorbed earlier, but then he finds out he is going to die soon anyway- right after he begins to want to live. That one didn't make me cry though :/.		2009-01-29 19:53:00

At TC, I love Valkyria Chronicles and that particular moment I found very saddening too but I think Okami has the saddest moment for me:

At the end where Amaterasu gets on the Ark to return to the Celestial Plain and Issun is left behind. I'm the pinnacle of manliness and even I got teary eyed.		2009-01-29 20:23:00

A little unoriginal, of course, the MGS4 ending....hope I didn't spoil anything, but if you haven't beaten MGS4 yet then you have problems.

But my favorite ending to a video game has got to be Prince of Persia. I felt its ending would **** some other people off, but not me. I found it to be incredibly effective, because it pretty much takes the scene in MGS3 where you have to physically press R1 to kill The Boss, but just makes it 10x bigger.

It's weird. A lot of people hate the endings of movies and games that I love. A lot of people hated Cloverfield, I loved it. A lot of people hated PoP, I loved it.

I'm sure that POP won't be my favorite ending after I beat Dead Space or Bioshock. Most likely, Bioshock's ending will be my new favorite when I beat it.		2009-01-29 20:29:00

I did cry too, especially when amaterasu lost his power and Issun prayed with everyone....SOMETIMES I CRY LIKE A BABY.		2009-01-29 20:36:00

I agree with MGS4, Valkyria Chronicles and Okami, especially the scene in the latter that Oldage mentioned. Though i didnt cry in any of the scenes, i was close to it.

Oh and the end of Outcast where Marion dies
but im not sure if anyone has even played that here, even though its the best game ever.

I also get sad when ever i complete a really awesome game, like the ones mentioned in this post. It is the same with games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and Grim Fandango, I feel sad that i have finished them and i start to miss the great characters and stories that they have.		2009-01-30 12:04:00

Me too. It's a feeling that only video games can boast to give. There are some games that I've finished and I feel like "Noooo! Why does it have to end!? T__T".		2009-01-30 15:53:00

Halo 3:

The very end. Master Chief and Cortana have survived the detonation of the ark and the MC puts himself into stasis. The look on Cortana's face is heartbreaking. Especially when you have read the background material to the series and you realise that:
A. She is sentient and has feelings the same as any person
B. She has a limited lifespan of roughly 7 years and she is not brand new at the time
C. She will likely spend her days alone, floating in space with no company, no power to do anything and little hope

Some of it is remedied when you complete the game on legendary and it appears as if Forward Unto Dawn may be drifting towards an inhabited planet. But that isn't the ending I experienced at the time.

Also,

FFVII, the obvious.

CoD4
The ending where all the characters die. And also the level immediately after the nuke goes off and your character dies of radiation poisoning with nothing you can do.

I'm sure there's more. It doesn't take much to sucker me into a story sometimes.		2009-01-30 16:08:00

I can't say I've actually cried or anything like that from a game. Then again, I haven't for any movie, either. In games, I find myself blown away in some parts. And they've been mentioned.

Call of Duty 4 is a great example. I played that game in one sitting, so I got the full arc all at once. And yeah, the ending there was really pretty powerful. Especially because the entire game gives you a sense of superhuman ability, like a normal person just could not do this, but these guys sacrificed everything to save the world...and then the whole thing gets a passing note in the news.

MGS4 had a similar kind of epicness, but simply because of the way the story is told, it didn't have as much hard-hitting impact force.		2009-01-30 18:57:00

Actually i'm so confident in my manhood that i'm not affraid to tell you guys I can get so absorbed at some good movies or games that I can cry on them.

Shadow Of The Collosus really moved me. There hasn't been a game moving me much since then though. (except "orgasm from awesome" like you can have with LittleBigPlanet and such)

Of course it's not like when you cry the hell out of your body because your brother or mother just died or something.
But sometimes I can get to the point where your chin's muscles are starting to contract + teared eyes. :eek:

No, the saddest scene in I Am Legend is when he's in the CD store and asks the mannequin to "Please say hello" to him.

Saddest point in I Am Legend

When they completely ruined that movie by changing the ending. From Wikipedia:

The tone of the film's ending was altered before the film's release, especially the stand-off between Neville and the infected in his laboratory. Visual effects supervisor Janek Sirrs recounts the original ending starting with the stand-off: "At that point, Neville's?and the audience's?assumptions about the nature of these creatures are shown to be incorrect. We see that they have actually retained some of their humanity. There is a very important moment between the Alpha Male and Neville. The Alpha Male slapped his hand on the glass and smeared it revealing a butterfly shaped imprint." Neville realizes that the Alpha Male is identifying the infected woman he was experimenting on by a butterfly tattoo, and that the Alpha Male wants her back. Demonstrating that he will cease fighting and return her, Neville is allowed to approach them, with the Alpha Male ordering the infected not to touch him. Neville brings the Alpha Female back to consciousness, still infected due to him having removed the cure, and the Alpha Male embraces her; David Schaub stated, "Then, when Neville finally turns the Alpha Female over to the Alpha Male, there is this little love moment between the two of them." Neville and the Alpha Male then exchange stares; Neville apologizes to them, which the Alpha Male acknowledges before the infected leave. He then looks at the photos of the infected he has experimented on and killed and realizes that he is the monster of their legends; the infected think of him as someone who hunts down and kills their people. The original final shot follows Neville, Anna, and Ethan as they cross the remnants of the George Washington Bridge in hopes of finding other survivors, accompanied by a recording from Anna telling possible survivors that there is hope.

WARNING: Slight bit of language at the following link, but nothing that would make your mothers cringe. Either way, the link discusses how the movie was meant to end...

God of War: Chains of Olympus

From Wikipedia:

Persephone tells Kratos that Calliope is in the fields of Elysium and that the only way to see her again is for Kratos to "release" all of his past evils and become worthy of Elysium, giving up his powers given to him by the gods; however, Persephone warns him that the world will suffer for his choice. After transferring his power into the Forsaken Tree, which included all of his weapons, his magic and relics, Kratos regains his humanity, becoming a normal man and being reunited with his daughter. In this form, Kratos loses his trademark red tattoo and bleached white skin, becoming a normal man once more. However, Persephone appears: she taunts and mocks Kratos' choice and reveals to him her true plans.

Bitter at being betrayed by Zeus, tricked by Hades and abandoned by the gods, Persephone was the one who had freed Atlas. While Kratos was disarming himself, Atlas was slowly carrying out Persephone's plan to destroy the pillar that holds the world, and with it, Olympus. Persephone plans to kill everyone, including herself, to free her from her situation. Kratos realizes now that if he stays with his daughter, it would mean the end of the world for everyone, including Calliope and himself. Though it tears him apart, he sacrifices seeing his daughter again in order to regain his power by killing all the souls in Elysium. From some of the souls he gets back his weapons, relics and magic. Because of this, he once more becomes the Ghost of Sparta, regaining his characteristic appearance.

In final fantasy 9 the whole ending was sad like when zidane survived the scene inside the tree, but Kuja never made it and also when they were talking about all of these things before and after you fight the final boss. AND when zidane acted like he was being controlled and didn't care about anyone anymore. 2009-01-31 14:33:00

Haha, i was waiting for someone to say that one!

I just get dumbstruck from games really. I've cried at movies, and TV shows, but not games.

However, a few of the saddest moments in games for me....

When in MGS1 Meryl was shot by Sniper Wolf and snake couldn't do anything. And Meryl dying in the 'sad ending'.

Killing The Boss in MGS3 was sad, but nowhere near tear jerking.

MGS4 had massive potential, but they handled all the situations wrong. The story of the game is fantastic. My problem is how they went about telling it.
For example:
Throughout MGS2 and MGS3 we were like 'OMG Who are the patriots!?' and then when MGS4 came around, instead of being a moment where there is shock and disbelief, EVA just kind of slips in 'oh yah btw snake, Patriots were me, Big Boss, Ocelot, Major Zero, Sigint, Para Medic'. The shock factor was just so little that it was like :/ I mean, i didn't exactly want Snake to be like 'WOAH WOMAN WTF U SAY!?' but i just wanted it to be handled with more care and emotion.

Anywho, getting back to it being sad, i think it was the same how the rest of the game was handled. Raidens death was terribly sad... until he comes back and helps snake. Was that really needed? Personally, I think Raiden should of died there.

And the last speech by Big Boss... it was sad. But before that he just rambled on about the most nonsensical crap i've ever heard.
I mean seriously, read this and tell me it isn't rubbish:
Everything has its beginning. But doesn't start at "one." It starts long before that, in chaos. The world is born... From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes two, two becomes ten, ten becomes 100. Taking it all back to one solves nothing. So long as zero remains one will eventually grow to 100 again. And so our goal was to erase Zero. Even the mighty Patriots began with a single man. That one man's desires grew huge, bloated; absorbed technology; began to manipulate the economy. We realized too late that we had created a beast. We had helped turn Zero into 100. His sin... was ours. And for that reason, I'm taking it upon myself to send Zero back to nothing.
Now, i fully understand this. Actually, it's pretty darn simple. But having worded it all like that... it's just badly written imo.
Don't get me wrong, MGS4 is an amazing game. I love the story, and i've played it to death. Even persisted and got the Big Boss Emblem. But how the story was handled was a shame.

And don't get me started on the wedding :|

I did like the final sentence of the game though by Big Boss.

Aaaaanywho, SotC was a little emotional. A bit sad, but happy at the same time. Same with ICO.

I found parts in both Zone Of The Enders game sad too. Particularly when the runners are trying to protect Jehuty from it's duty.

And i totally didn't see the ending to CoD4 coming. Just a really big 'wow' moment. I really felt it as i pounded those last shots into him xD		2009-01-31 15:26:00

Well, of course MGS4's handled the situations wrong. Hideo Kojima really does TRY to be one of those big directors who makes cool complicated stories like Lost, but he doesn't know where it's going to end up. He's even admitted that he didn't know how Snake's story would end. I feel like one day he sat down at his desk, and with no planning involved, began writing Snake's story. You can tell by all the radical plot twists that he really didn't know where to take the series. Big Boss is dead, Big Boss is alive, no that's not Big Boss, that's Solidus, Solidus is now dead, Big Boss has been dead, no Big Boss is alive.

I think this is an indicator that MGS's story was poorly planned. Or maybe Kojima just wanted to confuse people.

One of the plot twists I really didn't understand was Snake didn't have to kill himself after Big Boss died. ...What happened there? The FOXDIE is still in his body, right? And it has killed Naomi and EVA, so...um....but he doesn't have to kill himself because it won't spread anymore...wait what?		2009-01-31 15:34:00

Nah, what Big Boss told him is that Naomi had contacted him (probably left him a similar video message) and that the new FOXDIE (Edit: Actually i don't think it's a new foxdie, just another virus) in snake was neutralising the old FOXDIE from becoming a contagious deadly. However, in time the new FOXDIE will also become a similar deadly contagious virus. But he won't live long enough for that to happen anyway, so now he will just die of old age.

I still love the story in all the MGS games. And i do believe he always had a sort of rough plan here and there (for example, Vamp coming back), but the way it was told was poor. and as i said Raiden should have died		2009-01-31 15:42:00

Too tired.. Ill post when my eyes ARENT unfocusing.

Anyway, I can think of one now. When I saw the TERRIBLE fallout 3 ending >: . That made me pretty sad. Sad it was so TERRIBLE.

One more thing. If you say when Aeris/Aerith dies, dont even bother :.... It was EXTREMELY soulless and I felt no sadness whatsoever. Why not just pick an internet meme and go along with it! Seems like that's what you have done :. No offense. I just don't see why it was THAT sad. Somebody explain please or something?		2009-01-31 16:58:00

Seems like that's what you have done :. No offense. I just don't see why it was THAT sad. Somebody explain please or something?

Because Final Fantasy VII is an overrated piece of lame.		2009-01-31 20:52:00

Mother 3 / Earthbound 2 has a few sad moments. The original Klonoa had a sad ending. I'm pretty sure there was a part in The World Ends With You that got me, but I can't remember what it was.
Even World of Goo sort of got me down towards the end for some reason.

I'm a manly man though, and I never cry at games. )': Ever.		2009-01-31 21:01:00

Anyways, saddest thing I've experienced. Halo 3:

Sgt. Johnson dies.
I mean, it's not only shocking because he seemed to be immortal for the past 3 games (ultimately dying from one shot of the weakest weapon in the game...), but he was also MC's best friend. The only human who knew him that well.

Then they're all like
MC: I'm getting you out of here.
Sgt: No, you're not.

Then he tells him to never lose Cortana and to send him out "with a bang.", referring to the chief activating the Halo they are on, like a makeshift viking burial.

Then silence. 		2009-02-01 04:56:00

Kingdom Hearts II:

Not really a spoiler, but when the game ended, and that song came up with the reunion, that made me cry. Literally :		2009-02-01 05:09:00

Oh yeah, forgot about that part of Halo 3 as Cortana's fate (in my mind) overshadowed it for me. But still a sad moment.

However, you just watch as when they eventually do decide to make a Halo 4 or whatever (not ODST) and they'll magically make it so Cortana is still in the story, completely negating the last part.		2009-02-01 09:13:00

I think I've seen a few of my picks here but here goes some others...


Full Throttle...The ending, Corley's Funeral.
Final Fantasy 8 The ending, when it looks like Rinoa is erased from time forever. Thankfully she wasn't. God I love the romance there...
Tomb Raider: Underworld, the fact that I bought it.


I'll add more later...		2009-03-31 05:33:00

Why the ******* isnt there any Gears Of War 2 things on this thread?!? do you know how sad that game was!

When Tai kills himself even though he is the toughest person in the delta squad, but you never quite know what the locusts do to him.
or when
Dom finally find her wife, in her cell type thing, and runs out and looks wonderful and healthy, but he snaps out of his day dream and realizes that she is bared-boned, bald, and lifeless. So dom has to shoot her to put her out of her misery.
Or is this just a PS3 thread?		2009-03-31 05:53:00

There are a good few of them though finding out the Boss's story at the end of MGS3 is probably the saddest.2009-03-31 18:09:00

Just noticed this thread.... what about the end of ICO? I thought that was the most touching and sad ending I had ever seen - especially since the entire game led up to that moment.2009-04-02 15:30:00

How has no one mentioned Shadow of the Colossus yet?

At the end the wanderer gets possessed Dormin and turns into a baby for some reason before his girlfriend gets revived, so he never knows about it, then the giant bridge thing falls down and they get trapped in the castle. Then you find out the whole thing was a prequel to ICO because when he turns into a baby (still don't know why) he has horns.

I didn't think it was that sad, but I can understand that a lot of people might. The only time any media has made me feel anything was at the end of Gladiator.		2009-04-17 15:07:00

Actually SOTC is on of those rare example of a game that gave me quite strong and particular emotions.

-Lonelyness. The envirronement was so immersive, immense and just like the hero, you never know what will happen or exactly why you continue to do all of this.

-The Collossus looks innocent. It's like they only defend themselves and don't really mean arm. When they die, something dies inside of you too. The hero "suffers" everytime it absorbs a spirit and you can feel the pain seeing that your characters looks more and more wretched after each absorb.

-Also, looks like I was attached to my horse because without spoiling the ending, your friendship with this horse led to some emotionally intense scenes.

In short: What a freaking masterpiece of a game. I'm teared eye just writing this post.

Even though I didn't feel any sadness my immediate thought when Sephiroth killed Aeris was "I can't believe they did this in a game". The sword pierced her.2009-04-18 20:35:00
