a nuke explodes crashing the helicopter,the last moments of you're marine's life,hearing the ghostly laughter of children,from a crumbled preschool

The ending of Mother 3 left quite an impression on me 

Spoiler for Hidden:

Fighting your brother and being forced to watch his death as the voice of your mother rings in your ears is just... so sad

The Half-Life 2 Episode 2 ending.


It's really rare that something in a game could bring tears to my eyes, but this one did it. I spent all night playing this game the first day it came out, so the ending just came out of nowhere.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Honestly, it wasn't so much Eli's death, but the actual dialogue that ensues. Between him yelling at Alex not to watch, and then her weeping over his corpse, with the fade out, and all you hear is her whispering for him not to be dead. Yeah.

And also, the entire main campaigns focus on your dad in Fallout 3.

Spoiler for Hidden:

The fact that you play the first 10-15 minutes of the game literally being his son/daughter, and then you go on a desperate quest to find him, just to have him die and put you in a position where you literally  can't do anything to save him? Yeah, that's a sad story.

The darkness 2 when Jackie is stuck in another world after freeing his love


Jackie is that Neutral guy, he kills who ever attacks him and dose what he needs to get it done, only to bring the love of his life out of the darkness but get trapped in the darkness himself

The death of Guthix in RuneScape.


First his whole home world and species gets wiped out thanks to gods using it as their battlefield, and he only survived by accidentally becoming a god himself. After it's clear that there's nothing left for him to do on his own home world, he leaves and travels the universe until he finds a perfect, untouched planet. He keeps it for himself and shapes it to be the way he'd like it, but eventually he decides to share it with others.


So he brings in species with no particular good/evil alignment or any concept of gods, in order to create a world where mortals could live in peace and balance without any gods. But eventually they start to worship him, and he realises how stupid he had been to believe they'd see him as an equal.


So he left them alone and went to sleep deep under the earth, hoping that they'd forget him while he was gone.


But then one day, thousands of years later, he's awakened by the very world screaming in pain.


And he finds that the world now looks like his old home world. War-torn and the people worshipping many different gods, himself included.


Being the strongest god, he easily throws out the rest of them and creates a magical barrier to keep them out, but he couldn't remove the memories from the people following those gods. His plan had failed, and the more he intervened, the worse it'd get.


He returned to sleep once more, knowing that there was nothing more that he could do.


And so, thousands of years from that, he's once again awakened. Someone has found his resting place.


Knowing full and well what they were planning, he allows the assassin to kill him without even trying to stop him...


Before dying, he tells the player the story of how he became a god, how all the years of living as something he hated has been tormenting him, and how he longs to see his family again. His final act before dying is to give some of his powers to the player, so that they can take up where he leaves off, and continue to protect the world from the gods without being a god themselves, in order to maintain the balance.


His final words were "Remember your purpose... Forget me..."


To make things even sadder, it's later revealed that ascending to godhood means giving up your right to an afterlife, so he never even got to be reunited with his family again after all... :'(

The death of Dust in Dust: An Elysian Tail


You go through the entire game, playing, learning, laughing with Dust, and in the end he dies, but that isn't the end of the story, so it isn't absolutely heart wrenching.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Dust turns into dust and will probably be reincarnated

The only time I an recall crying was the end of TWD season 1.

The saddest thing I've ever done in a video game would have to be a particular (optional) scene in Mass Effect 3 (in the spoilers)

Spoiler for Hidden:

  With Wreav replacing Wrex through my play through, the Genophage was about to be cured. I had two choices, cure the genophage and allow the krogan to breed happily or disrupt it and trick to krogan into helping us. Wreav wanted nothing but war, so I was under the idea that I'd rig the cure, but then Mordin came. I unveiled the plot to Mordin, who disagreed with it, I pleaded for him to reconsider, he disagreed and walked to the elevator, with my gun drawn the familiar renegade prompt occurred and I was left there wondering what to do, save a friend or save many innocent lives. I clicked the mouse click, heard the gun shoot through mordin, saw him crawl on the floor begging for mercy, crawling with his last gasp of air from his blood filled lungs, trying desperately to undo his greatest mistake, only to fail and die so close from his objective. It was the most guilty I've felt in a video game!
