Saddest Gaming Moments

[Oni-Link]

Oh my God, I can't believe no one posted the Death of Eli Vance in Half-Life 2: Episode Two. T_T

GAH, this topic is full of spoilers!

* kotorfanboy cries

WARN FIRST

[Crepe Knight]

^Yeah I think that should be assumed :p

When Ike found out how his mom died in Fire Emblem: Path of Radience...the artwork and music that went along with it just added to the saddest.....excellent artwork!!

This definitly tugs the heart strings... also in Fire Emblem; Blazing Sword, when Eliwood mistakenly kills Ninian.

Oni: I probably forgot to.  But yea, is the most sad

[gremhiilzoone]

Lots of moments. I'll say my most recent:

When you need to decide kill Playboy or Dwayne in GTA IV. I chose Playboy

Smiles and tears during the credits in EB.

It's been a long time since anything in a video game made me sad, but I can remember from childhood something in Final Fantasy V made me sad. I've totally forgotten what it was though

[Cobraroll]

For me... well, I haven't played many games with good stories. Still, if I have to choose, it would be in Wind Waker, where SPOILER!!
You have to take Medli, the bird-girl from Dragon Roost Island, guide her through the deepest, creepiest, saddest temple in the game, where she'll live the rest of her life in prayer for Hyrule, eventually drowning when the ocean collapses onto the land.
The one who had a successful dragon taming/music career lying in front of her, born and raised to soar the skies with her own wings, is possessed by an ancient spirit, following which a stranger in green takes her to a faraway island, massacres his way through the place, and puts her in a featureless room deep under the ground/ocean, where she is to spend the rest of her life doing practically nothing.

The end of the game is quite sad too, where the magical land of Hyrule is drowned once and for all, its history going ad undas (literally "in the waves").

I saw some people talking about FFX, when you learn that yuna has to die... but what about the ending? It made me real sad honestly, never thought it would end like that (well at least until you learn it~) Hopefully, there was FFX-2. 

[marvolo_gaunt]

I found the ending of FFX incredibly sad, but i agree with those people who also talked about Yuna possibly dying. That game made me really sad for a fairly long time, partic, while I was playing it, just cos it was so bittersweet. (I'm such a sook). But that really is a fantastic game. I love it to death.

Chrono Trigger, while technically not sad, has such a haunting nostalgia to it (thanks to the music) that it also has a wonderful bittersweet and yes, very saddening but beautifully so effect. Also love it.

None of this can beat the end of Episode 2.  :|  I even played it again two days ago.

[ALPRAS]

HL: Ep.2 had a really sad end...  All of the episode was amazing. It looks like a movie.
Its on of my favorite games ever..

[Tranzlater]

Come to think of it, the final boss fight in Mother 3 was really sad...

[random_goldfish]

The end of any Earthbound game is sad because there is no more Earthbound.
