Poopants the Scrunge Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The the foot crushing scene when you run out of lives in Manic Miner... Â When the woman in the red dress (Audrey?) dies in RE 2 Â Obviously the Aerith death scene in FFVII Â When your Dad gets killed in Fallout 3 Â When my first created Boxer in Fight Night Round 3 had to retire, from the dizzying heights of 70+ successful defences to getting fat and slow and being KO'd by a 2-0 boxer...Gutted.

Uncletrunx Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Missed yesterday, but today's entry is linked so I'll do both together. Â Best Soundtrack for me is Shadow of the Colossus. Stunning stuff. Â It also gets the saddest scene for the part where you're climbing to fight the last Colossus and the horse bites the dust. I genuinely had a feeling of sadness at that.

patiirc Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I cant say that I find anything particularly sad, perhaps a game ending unexpectedly because its too short but nothing that drew us to tears because of the tragedy of the situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Dent Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 We're going pretty spoilerific now, so I'll just say Metal Gear 4 spoilers below    For me, the saddest scene in gaming is right at the end of Metal Gear 4, with Solid Snake kneeling at the gravestone with a gun to his mouth. He's knows he's a ticking time bomb and the whole saga has led up to his degradation. The trigger sounds and screen cuts to black. I'd lie if I said I wasn't completely choked up at that point.

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted March 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 I think we all know what the saddest game scene ever is and i think you'll obviously agree: (its safe and a real game clip, dont worry) Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted March 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 The finale of Red Dead Redemption was the first that came to mind, I'm wondering how much of it is due to it being recent and therefore fresh in my memory though. I don't think me losing the finals of the FA Cup and Champions League and losing the premiership by 2 points in the same season of football manager really counts as a game 'scene' as such. But that made me pretty sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was what I was going to post. I was bawling my eyes out when I first saw this, even my brother had tears in his eyes. Being a metal gear nerd anyway it was going to hit hard, but this scene was so beautifully done it had my friends who were a bit 'meh' when it comes to Metal Gear completely transfixed and arses glued to the sofa. I still get upset and teary eyed when I watch it now. Big Boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 Playing Resident Evil as a child and stumbling across Barry sat on the floor nursing a fatal wound inflicted by the Zombies. Him then giving you the picture of his wife/child to take with you before he dies.  Poor Barry  Not the saddest thing, but before Resi, my gaming consisted of cute cuddly characters like Sonic and Mario, I'd never seen anything like Resi before.  Stuff from that game could easily be used to answer most of these questions imo.

thejeffjarrettone Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read The bit in Metal Gear Solid where Sniper Wolf tells her backstory before she died.

Paid Members Ron Simmons Posted March 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 Obviously the Aerith death scene in FFVII Whoah - gonna be pedantic and anal here, but in the UK it's always been AERIS. Yeah, translation error, I know. But Aeris it is. 'Aerith' people annoy me as much as 'Eggman' people. Â But yeah, it probably is the saddest scene. Same story for when Rinoa was drifting off to space in FF8. that's pretty sad to watch too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The really great touch on the whole Aeris/Aerith death sequence is the fight with Jenova that takes place immediately. It's a fight you can't lose - I believe she only has one attack and you're immune to it if you have the Water Ring equipped (geekiest sentence I'll ever type right there) - and that's the point. It's not meant to be a difficult boss encounter, it's meant to be cathartic, and having the Aeris theme playing over the whole fight is simply stunning. Â As for the MGS stuff mentioned, I personally found the ending of Snake Eater to be much more emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
