saddest video games moments (spoilers of course)
Storm Rider:
It's times like these I really wish this board had spoiler tags. I was gonna get around to playing Shadow of the Colossus eventually, you fuckers.
Mother 3 has some of the saddest moments in a game for me. Johnny mentioned the end of Chapter 1, but Chapter 6 got me just as much, if not more. It's just a few minutes, and there's not even any dialogue, but it's so heartbreaking despite all that. The final boss, too, but I'm not going to even allude to that because everyone really should see it for themselves.
Also, Johnny I know you haven't finished Persona 3 yet, so don't read the rest of this post even though Cory's already ruined a lot of it.

The last part is the absolute worst, because everyone suddenly remembers the promise they made and everything that happened, and they all go running up to the roof and he's sitting there with his head on Aigis's lap and he closes his eyes just before they get there to say goodbye and oh my god damn it was so depressing. The bad ending of Persona 4 is a pretty huge downer too, but it wasn't quite the same.

Yeah, this is why I was about as vague as humanly possible when talking about that game. People should really play it.

What about Dom's wife?
I was laughing when Carmine died.

Playing that game through the first boss I knew what the end was. Seriously, all that black stuff that shoots into Wander after every Colossus? Kind of fucking ominous.
Edit: And it's totally still worth playing through knowing this fact - there's so much other stuff that happens that is unexpected.

I remembered that there was some sort of moment in Starcraft where I got outraged. Seems that was it. Kerrigan got hers back, though. I hope Raynor does in Starcraft 2.
Jackson's death (and almost right after he does a heroic thing and saves that nice Cobra helicopter pilot lady too) was also pretty depressing, although I was too caught up in the awe of watching the mushroom cloud and watching tall buildings disintegrate and crumble into ash. Call of Duty 4's strengths were that the Hollywood-type scenes were quite easily immersive, and the fact that you could actually control Jackson while he crawled around in futility with his last breaths gives the scene a lot more empathy than it actually needed.
I was also sad at Captain Price's death, but I was more sad at how Gaz and Griggs got so easily cut down (Zakhaev pretty much kills Gaz as if he's putting down a dog, which would make my blood boil). I thought of Price's death as bittersweet because of his redemption in actually having his sort-of-nemesis finally killed after failing the first time.
I was also sad that I would not be able to see his amusing facial hair in Modern Warfare 2.
Aerith's death was more of a shock than a tearjerker. The first time I saw it, I said "what the fuck? How?" rather than "WHYYYYYYY NOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Oh, and Max Payne 2. MONA SAX DIES, YALL. (Max isn't really that great at keeping his loved ones alive. In fact, I'd say he downright sucks.)
