That was hysterical. The one note character gets offed by an annoying floating Christmas ornament. Almost as funny as in Gears of War 2 when Dom finds his wife (That brought me to tears of laughter, anyway)

Alright, here goes:

Spoiler

As for a game that actually brought tears to my eyes... I would have to say Roman's death in GTA IV. While I dismissed him as an annoyance at first, as the game went on, he gained more and more of my sympathy; as much of a pain as he could be, he meant well, and was just trying to make a decent living and start a family. I grew to like him, especially during the scene where Niko finally finds the man who betrayed him.

So, when Niko got the offer to do one final job (and work with the man who tried to kill him) and Roman begged him to take it for the money, I relented and followed his advice. The mission is successful, Roman gets married... and he's shot down in cold blood.

That was a huge shock; after watching that, I felt like I had been punched in the gut. It was a really powerful moment, and a testimony to Rock Star's talent.

That's the only one that comes to mind right now. If I think of any more I will post them.

Gahars, you might want to spoiler that.

 

[Joe88]

^you should put a spoiler in that and also the game has 2 different endings, one where another person dies instead

 

[Gahars]

Alright, though I don't think it's that much of a spoiler. I mean, the game has been out for 3 years and sold like hot cakes when it was released; anybody who was going to play it probably already has by this point.

A lot of people don't play them to the end. I've played GTA 3 - IV, and out of them I've only completed Vice City. Plus in this there's online.

Easily one of the most emotional endings ever was Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. I Cried.
Much more notably, and not a game at all, I cried for like 20 mins straight while watching the series finale of Six Feet Under.

Okay now in definitely finishing it TONIGHT. I gotta see how sad this ending is.

Layton 3 made me shed a tear.
999 is the game, so it made me cry.

 

[PurpleEyesOfDeat]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

I cried at the end.

 

[Fudge]

Nier. I cried multiple times playing that game. It's probably the most depressing game I've ever played. Additionally, I cried at the end of the anime Elfen Lied.

 

[Wizerzak]

As far as I can remember: none. Portal 2 was quite sad but I don't think that was the storyline. It was more because I waited 6 months for that game then finished it in 6 hours straight and now it was all over.

 

[BloodWolfJW]

Never realized that FF was such a sad series. gotta start playing it now...

EDIT:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

I cried at the end.

My first Zelda Game, great times.....I think thisa is the only time I've ever shed a tear after the game was over...lol

 

[roastable]

The ending of Final Fantasy X made me cry.

Oh also, in a much more different way, Big Rigs Over the Road Racing and Crazy Bus.

 

[machomuu]

The ending of Final Fantasy X made me cry.

I thought it was pretty funny. Of course, I think Tidus is pretty funny, so it's to be expected.

 

[Hells Malice]

The only sad FF I played was Crisis Core. Since it's the only one where the story is actually good. SE really sucks at juggling character development across multiple characters. When they focus on a few, they do a good job. Just because everyone knew how it was gonna end up didn't mean much. It's one of the few games where "spoilers don't spoil anything." Knowing just made it sadder because Zack was trying so hard and you KNEW it was all for nothing.

The saddest actual videogame i've ever played was Valkyria Chronicles, easily. That game is the first to ever make me cry. I've shed a tear before, i've felt sad before, but i've NEVER cried for a game. But that game just beat the shit out of me. Favorite game ever.

As for visual novels (technically videogames):

Clannad. An obvious choice. Probably one of the saddest visual novels i've played, and yet it was still hilarious too. It just knew when and how to get serious.

Wanko To Kurasou. I am not ashamed at all to have played this game. The ending of the better route (there's only 2) is RIDICULOUSLY sad. It's so cruel and mean (and yet it still has a happy ending >_>;. It was really well done though.

Family Project. Dear god. That game has some sad moments. It's also ridiculously suspenseful near the end. Probably my favorite visual novel of all time. Translation errors aside it was pretty solid and like Clannad, it was pretty hilarious...but knew when to get serious.

I could name more but i'm lazy and about to play through Planetarian ~Chiisana Hoshi no Yume~.

EDIT: Holy shit almost forgot A Drug That Makes You Dream.
A bit too much hentai, but Aeka's route is really sad. I shed a man tear for that poor girl.

 

[machomuu]

I think FFIX was sad, and so was FFIV. In fact, both of those, IMO, are the saddest ones in the series.

I love how everybody is all *Insert Final Fantasy 1-100* when *insert name here* died
