Heart breaking moments in gaming

Post Reply New Topic

The end of Eternal Sonata really hit me... Wonderful game...

I'm glad someone posted this. There have been many moments in games that have made me tear up.

The part in Kingdom Hearts, in Hollow Bastion where Sora sacrifices himself for Kairi and ends up becoming a Heartless for awhile.

The ending of Kingdom Hearts

Lisa's final scene (besides the good/good+ endings) in Silent Hill

Mary's speech in Silent Hill 2, in the hallway leading to the last boss

The videotape scene in Silent Hill 2

Harry's death in Silent Hill 3

Final Fantasy X ending

Rikku telling Tidus the truth about Summoner's in Final Fantasy X

The ending level of Braid. Probably heart-wrenching for guys only.

I remember in Halo 3 going please let the Chief be ok, I remember watching the ceremony and thinking omg he didnt make it but still being optomistic. I saw that only half a ship and thinking maybe he he safe somewhere, and when in space the fact that such a long period is sad, especialy since everything that Has happend probably means that Cortana has only a short lifespan left. As going through the halo computer and I am sure being corupted has quickend her death where the AI begins to think itself to death. That is a thought of something that Cortana wants to tell the chief but then holds back. But the secret ending to the game mad my heart jump, that maybe there will be a new adventure.

They Weren't Intentional, But THey're Here, Deal With It.

I Dont Get Upset At Games, I Get Sort Of, Surprised And Worried At The Same Time. When You Build Up A Real Feeling For A Character Because They Save Your Life SO Many Times, But Then They Die. Like Gears Of War, Carmine Saved Me From Being Killed By The Troika Because He Ran Into The Way And Took The Shots. I Healed Him Up, But Then, During A Cutscene, A Sniper Struck. Call Of Duty 3, When Your Leader (I Cant Remember His Name, The Man That Doesnt Like Guzzo) Gets Bombed On The Bridge Stage. Back To Gears Of War Kim (The Bald Dude) Saved Me From Being Meleed To Death On Insane Difficulty. The Locust Had Managed To Flank My Team, He WAs About To Swing His Rifle, I Saw Him Bring His Arm Back, Ready To Thrust It Forward, Kim Took The Melee, Withstood It, And Chainsawed That Stinky Locust. This Built Up A Friendship (I Thought He Might Save Me Again Lol) But Then, During The Major Assault On The Tomb, Before The Beserker, He Was Stabbed By RAAM.

The Links Will Take You To Kims Death Moment. Kim Is THe Only One I Could Get Sorry Guys.

I think it was Sgt. McCullin who got bombed in COD3. That was a great scene. "Tell Guzzo... tell him... tell him to go to Hell, HA HA HA HA HA-ARRGH..."

IDk, it just seemed bazaar to me. I was just too busy thinking how awesome it was that they managed to make that one sequence work so completely differently forward and backwards in time. Amazing game.

I Remember That Bit That Was So Funny.

The most heart-wrenching part of a game I've experienced: Euthanising my faithful Weighted Companion Cube. NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Of course, the absolutely amazing ending of Portal made up for it, but it was still an emotional rollercoaster.

COD 4, half way through, you're rescuing a downed Cobra pilot and while trying to escape, a nuclear device is detonated, your character, Sgt. Jackson is killed halfway through the game. At the end, there is a huge shoot out with the main antagonist, and then, Griggs and Price are also killed.

I agree, and I knew someone was going to mention it even before I clicked on the thread.

Yeah.... I know who you mean. myself and my cousin played this game together and cried when it came to that part.

There where some touching moments involving character deaths in the Suikoden series, however there are ways to bring them back, unless you are playing Suikoden 2, if lose a character in a war campange, that character is gone.

what jerks. I don't fit in anywhere in online games, myself. heheh.. Never got kicked out of a guild like that though. I usualy just leave.

World of Warcraft. Playing as the leader in a dungion, everyone follows what I say, not realiseing I am stupidly going to get their butts kicked to hell by one enimy, with my "know it all" advice.. over and over again till my victims mention "Had enough and take anymore. My gear is completly destroyed" or the like. Did it more than once. It left me feeling like a total idiot, naturaly, because I was one!

Mega Man X4 Looseing over 21 times with Ciber Peakoc, but then beating him easily because I finally figured out how to do it. -.-* I felt a little numb there. Mind you, I have done this with other games to. Getting highly frustrated trying to get one enimy loads of times, then suddenly realising the solution that was right in front of me the whole time. Dam that's annoying!

the part in Illusion of Gaia where Hamlet the Pig jumps into the fire to help feed some starving villagers.

and the whole game of Secret of Mana. great game but man the story is one big bummer.

oh, and screw Aeris dying. the opera scene in FFVI is the most emotional moment in the series for me.

Just remembered a few other important ones...

Back when I first got my hands on Fire Emblem, when I was about ten years old, every time one of my characters died (they never came back, mind you) I would sit there with a knot in my stomach while watching the overly emotional cutscene of the character's death, then I would promptly reset the game before it could autosave.

Also, you'd have to be completely heartless to not be saddened by World in Conflict.

*spoilers*

Seriously, the game takes place in a third world war that very likely could have actually happened, and makes you see some of the grim realities of war. Captain Bannon, a misguided brat of a soldier, who has always had problems with his parents (illustrated by in-game cutscenes between battles) finally starts getting things right for a change, and then he ends up sacrificing himself along with his entire company of men to stall the soviet attack long enough for a nuke to drop on their heads.

To make matters ever more emotionally straining, the game takes you temporarily back in time to show some of the first battles of the war and explain just how badly Bannon had been screwing up beforehand. A French commandant who had his character very quickly developed by a "calling home" cutscene gets blown to pieces because of one of Bannon's mistakes. I can't help but feel sad for the fictional people of this war, because it came all too close to being a reality.

*end spoilers*

Besides that, Shadow of the Colossus was indeed very gut-wrenching, made all the more so by the fact that it was an actually unique game, and no one could have predicted the ending without having seen it played through at least once.

I can only imagine how that was for you. I was stunned by the ending even without personal circumstances compounding it.

My worst moment was when my beloved World of Warcraft guild fell apart after almost 3 years of playing, raiding, and PvP'ing together. It became so discouraging and depressing to play that I ended up quitting.

It was so sudden... the guild master just out of the blue disbanded the guild... we tried to reform but the guild never recovered...

Besides that, I did choke up at the end of Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess.

Also, in Bioshock, there is a part in Fort Frolic where you walk through a house full of dead, modled, and plaster-covered splicers to unlock a safe. After I did that I turned around and all of the splicers had dissappeared.

I could have screamed. Scared the headset off me.
