Uncle Ben died because Peter was selfish. However Aunt May died because Peter was selfless. Very clever storytelling and character development from the devs 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It gets better when you look at what happened beforehand. When he looks like he is about to give her the cure, _his face is framed in shadow and you don't see his face in the light until he stops himself._
For all of the people who played Titanfall 2, were heartbroken and devastated at the loss of BT-7274. Not once but twice. He will forever be remembered.
it's crazy because when i was playing RDR2 back when corona was in 2020/2021, it started to cough too. at first i thought a cold or even corona itself, only to find out i had lung cancer. that's why the game, but especially arthur is someone i recognize myself in. i know my time is very limited, so i'm trying to do even more good things than before.
Sarah's death in TLOU was devastating. Didn't expect it to happen in the BEGINNING of the game! And then, the show somehow takes that moment and makes it sadder
As iconic as the scene is, I played it for the first time on PC when it was released last year knowing damn well what happens , but I still couldn't fight back the tears.
Im a huge fan of TLOU game's but the show trying to apeal to not be "racist" they made Tommy and his wife Maria from white to mexican and black and they're dictators and Ellie being non binary instead of just gay it killedthe show for me but i will always love the game's i just have a new outlook on Neil Druckman and not wanting to be victimized by race riots you could have done better Neil very very VERY disappointing but that's just my opinion and i don't think im alone
Another thing about Reggie's death that wasnt mentioned is that in the game's good karma ending, Delsin spraypaints a memorial of his brother. On the same billboard he'd vandalized in the beginning(which had a picture of his brother)
I like the good Karmas out of infamous anyway their more melancholy but good in the scheme of this life second son and 2 were Cole diee but everyone else lives
another thing I’ll point out is that the “Subdue/Execute” menu doesn’t appear on enemies during this fight. Signaling that Delsin only cares about dealing with Augustine and is in enough of an angry mood that he just doesn’t care about killing and stopping other side guys, he’s focused on beating the crap out of Brooke.
Bruh, when I heard Sadie say “we found him, we found Micah” I got excited. Then in the end credits I saw Edgar Ross tracking down John and I knew. Had me regretting killing Micah fr. PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE
The thing that makes Reggie’s death less impactful and sad to me is that Reggie still says the same stuff about how he loves his brother and is proud of him even if Desmond takes the evil route and kills hundreds of innocent civilians.
In a way it still can be applicable tho That's his baby brother regardless. He wants to be proud of him, in his heart he deeply believes (in an Infamous run) Delsin can still change. It's both honesty mixed with a desperate plea for his brother to do the right thing
It ain’t on the list but I think Dutch’s death scene is probably one of the saddest scenes in gaming. From the amazing acting to the writing. Dutch wasn’t lying when they said they’ll just find another monster. And knowing that Dutch dies on a mountain and in the snow, it’s poetic knowing that it started going downhill from there. It’s heartbreaking because Dutch is fully aware knowing that he can’t fight change and realizes he basically wasted his life fighting it. I’d like to think he was thinking about Hosea and Arthur in his final moments. Sorry if this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but those were just my thoughts.
This is huge and I fully agree. His death is a bit underrated, as it took the story of RDR2 to really feel the impact of Dutch’s death and made it THAT much worse. I actually had similar thoughts about this while making this vid and gathering the footage of Dutch. The fact he’s always fought change but could not change himself. He could never fight his own nature. Excellent writing
Dutch's death is more cathartic & poetic imo. It may be the thesis statement of both games' themes of change and the paradoxical goal to combat it. It's not his death itself that's tragic for me, though it's sad to see a good friend be reduced to this (even more after I the unshown model after his suicide), but the grander implication and all the gang members who've come and gone for his ideals, for it all to be for nothing. And John's fate that it foreshadows.
@@TonyCenoi gotta love the High-Honor version of Arthur's demise.... it is so good at how it makes ppl assume that it's objectively the best ending...
Reggie's death really messed me up. The way he switches from hating, to sympathizing with conduits makes him such a lovable character. And then to just end like that... I swear, I was just as devastated as Delsin was
Since Reggie aressted Delson lots of times I thought he would drop Reggie but that's his brother maybe Delson did forgive Reggie aressting him lots of times cuz their brothers
just so you know, after playing those games and experiencing the deaths and forgetting them and then watching this video, it just brings back those bad memories.
On The Topic Of Cyberpunk. If You Choose The Corpo Start, From The Getgo You Can Tell Your Character Already Has The Brotherly Bond And Past With Jackie. He Even Saves You From Getting Scrapped By Arasaka In The Intro. Makes His Death That Much Heavier.
Honorable mention to Taka from Ghost of Tsushima. He was Yuna's whole world, considering they only had each other until they met Jin. So seeing him not just die, but be brutally decapitated by Khotun made it feel like he killed my brother.
Jin’s horse’s death was also pretty heartbreaking. I know he’s not a character like Yuna, but he was with you for whole first and second acts of the game. So it broke my heart seeing him get shot with arrows and dying
Honorable Mention and I dont know why he is not in this compliation but aint no one going to talk about Dom Santiago from Gears of War 3 that one got me good
One of my favorite things in CP77 is that for a little while you can call his number and V does a grief monologue, V will update Jackie and talk about what's been happening. Its precisely what real people would do in that situation.
@@Drakenlot you have the option to attend his memorial funeral to pay your respect to him also the free bike and weapon if you send Jackie's body to victory's you will get locked out of the side quest
I mean, technically, the camera pans to Tommy, and she slips into the afterlife while we are looking at him, but I can definitely see the life from her being drained from the moment she was shot, to her death.
John's is the most brutally tragic but poetic IMO. It's a Sisyphic uphill battle where no matter how much he goes and starts over, he just can't run. He's on his own, finds a family, fights and runs with them, is left to die, commits to an honest life, but forced back into his past to hunt brothers he really didn't want to hurt for some rich man's aspirations, and is finally reunited with his family seemingly for good. Only for that fleeting peace to be swiftly torn away from him. But in the midst of all the despair, he claims power over his life by acting contrary to all that he's done - he stop running. He faces his punishment while his family escapes, giving his life so they may get to live theirs unchained by his sins.
Yeah it is, and it was the worst death out of all the gang members as well. Arthur had a peaceful death, sad music. John was brutally executed, no music at all, its just the sound of him choking on his own blood.
@@DeadX2 ima be honest, I’ve never seen johns death in game, only on vids, I’m about halfway through rdr1, so it probably is more depressing than Arthurs
Worst part about Brock’s death is because he’s missing part of his soul he’ll never find peace or the afterlife his soul will wander forever 😭😭 AND we not getting no more Norse god of war games so we’ll likely never see sindri again😭😭
@shadowarrow1998 100%...It could be he is the one that finds a way to kill kratos... Because it will probably happen someday... And i can see sindri taking the kratos path of revenge...
honestly murking Reggie sealed Augustine's fate for me first playthrough, it's the first time I actively chose to do the darkside ending on the first run
The saddest for me will always be Dom's death from Gears of War 3. As a fan of the series if you played them from the first game, that scene hits really hard.
And Marcus Trying to scramble to his feet to go and get dom just incase he survived the first explosion only to be held back by anya. And then the tanker detonated and you just see him stop
That final conversation with Ock is world-breaking. The way Peter just... walks away, anguished and lost while Otto screams in desperation is one of the saddest scenes in any game
I wish more people knew about the og 2 infamous games. It’s ps3 and a lot more dated but I loved both of them. Cole Mckgrath, aka The Demon of Empire City. Badass
When I saw that scene of Reggie’s death when I got to that part of the game I was shocked and devastated just like delsien I was literally thinking okay Augustine you deserve what you’re going to get

A plague tale: requiem was one of if not the ONLY game I cried at the ending too. And I didn’t even play the first game, I didn’t even know there was a first game till after
After I beat Plague Tale Requiem, I couldn't touch any games as I was so depressed. It really is an life changing experience as the way the characters act/feel is very realistic to how we act. We'd do whatever we could to save someone, but sometimes it doesn't always work out
i've seen things about how John could've just gone through the back door of the barn and ran off with abigail and jack... but if he had done that the government would've tracked him down and most likely kill abigail and jack that time, so he had to sacrifice himself to save the rest of his family.
For people who have played the original Mw3 Soaps death broke me when i first saw it, Especially the part where price was breaking down and calling for soap not to die.
Lee is the only death that made me full on cry, Brok and aunt May's deaths always make me tear up and whilst I don't cry when Arthur dies watching him slowly die from TB is awful
My husband and I were playing at the same time and keeping pace so we wouldn't spoil each other and we just looked up and bawled. Then we hugged for like 10 minutes crying. It was pretty rough.
Mordin. Anderson. Legion. The Virmire Sacrifice. Suicide mission members if you don’t know what you are doing. Tali if you choose Legion but can’t talk down the Quarians. So much potential heartbreak in the ME trilogy.
Honorable mention for me is Darko Brevic from GTA 4. He (as his name implies) is someone who is very similar to Niko in background and upbringing but a few bad choices between drugs and money leads him to selling out his squad. What amplifies it for me is the way it impacts Niko in the ends because he let his revenge consume him and in the end he feels empty and devoid of purpose
Roman and Kate deaths were unexpected and both died by mistake (both killers were trying to kill Niko) so these hit hard. Roman was his cousin which once was walking from church maried and after short struggle with assassin Niko saw him lying dead on sidewalk with crying bride what made Niko shot few times killers body in despair and anger, when Kate died in drive-by shooting and she was dying in Niko's amrs and there was nothing he could do. Both deaths had a little different outcome on Niko (after Roman he was more angry, after Kate he was more sad)
I remember playing Infamous Second Son, I was a kid, one of the first games I played on a console, and Reggies death was the first time I actually teared up from a video game, and the first time I wanted vengeance.
The thing that hurts me about Reggie’s death is the fact that the concrete doesn’t kill people, like we saw with Hank. Which means that reggie dies drowning
Here’s what I see between Athur’s death and John’s death in my opinion John’s death was shocking. It was something I never thought would happen. John had just got his family back, it seemed he had finally outrun his outlaw life, which I believed. But then the lawmen came back, and shot him down just like that. No dramatic lighting, no high rising music. Just shot down like an animal. I sat there for several minutes, shocked at what I just saw, trying to process what happened, unable to move on, the reality of what just happened was still setting in. Arthur Morgan’s death was different, once he was told he contracted tuberculosis, I knew he was going to die, and I wanted to make his last moments as quiet and peaceful as possible. His words to the people he speaks with, him wanting to change. It hurt to watch. And when his death finally came. I just couldn’t come to terms with everything that happened, he had died, and the adventures, and the outlaw life died with him. Simply poetic. John’s death left a much stronger initial impact. Arthur’s death left an impact that I still can’t leave behind.
I agree with all of these. Another honourable mention is Life is strange, save the town choice ending. Time goes back to before Max meets Chloe again, and has no recollection, memory or experience of all the time she spends with your player - Max. The sad thing is she has to live knowing she got to see her friend one last time, even though when the timeline altered, none of these events happened, and Max is the only one with any recollection of it.
This wasn’t on their but all my Mortal Kombat fans know that scorpions death is one of the saddest deaths in gaming history. Such and a amazing character and OG guy died to D’vorahs poison
Liu Kang and Kitana in Mortal Kombat 9 was more sad in my opinion. Kitana begging her brainwashed mother to not kill her and when Raiden and Liu Kang arrive too late, she uses her last breath to tell Liu Kang "You were right. I wish we met under different circumstances". A really heartbreaking moment that made Liu Kang angry with Raiden which would lead to a showdown between the two in the final chapter of the story mode where Liu Kang would sadly meet the same fate like Kitana as Raiden kills him accidentally in the act of self-defense. Raiden feeling devastated by what just happened, begs Liu for forgiveness but Liu gives him one last response before he passes away. "You.....killed us.....all."
It's really satisfying to finally see inFAMOUS Second Son get some recognition. Delsin is such a wasted character who had way too much potential in my opinion.
These didn't make the list but the First horse and Lord Shimura's deaths/bad ending from Ghost of Tsushima broke me and still does with me playing this game shortly after a member of my family passed.
Still Zack Fair's death in Crisis Core.. You know he will die but the way his life slowly fades away w/ the price of freedom playing as the bgm hits differently
For me, one of the best deaths is noble team from halo reach (i know ive put a group of people instead of one but go with it) as they each die in unique ways and each death hits you in a different way until you just feel totally helpless when you see noble 6 pinned to the ground and stabbed to death by the covenant. Just such an amazing scene and set of character deaths as you've spent the game with these characters and although its a short game, its long enough for you to grasp the basics of their characters and their relationship to reach as a home so watching them die one by one as the situation gets grimmer until you are the last human standing on the plannet is so impactfull and the callback to the beginning with your personal damaged helmet on the grass was such a nice touch and made it all the more impactful
One thing i haven't seen people talk about is that Sindri stops wearing gloves when Brok dies, he has shown that he is a germaphobe and that small detail shows that his mind is broken, he has also said that he can feel the souls of the lake of souls grabbing his arms, and i think that's another reason why he doesn't have his gloves on, he wants to feel them, i think he wants to feel the discomfort
For me the saddest death was cole macgrath from Infamous 2 when I got the hero ending, man those feelings I really wasn't expecting him to die because in my mind the protagonist can't die but I was wrong.
i knew ragnarok was gonna be here you didnt mention the fact that in the ending of ragnarok, theres a scene where atreus traps odin in sort of a marble, in the end sindri snatches that marble and breaks it killing odin. i did never expect that the happy sindri i knew to end off the story
Clive from Final Fantasy XVI was also sad for me. Its at 3 for 3 for making me cry. Lee was the first time i cried, and will always cry at, same with season 2.
The game death that hurt me most was Kat from noble team, or even 6. But kat the most, she never even saw it coming, didn't go out on her own terms and never saw the end of the mission...
I watched this video in the hope that there might be a halo acknowledgement but it was playstation centred. I'd also think johnson and Miranda keyes would be up there as well as carter and Jorge. Really all of noble teams deaths were sad like you said
HOW did AERITH'S death scene not make the list??? But SPIDERMAN did?? Wtf!? FF7 OG Aerith's death scene is ICONIC in the video game world. Dropped the ball completely on this....
That death isnt sad for everyone. Especially not for those who didnt play the original game. Additionaly these death's are sadder because we actually see, hear, and feel the characters reactions. The original FF7 doesnt have voice acting. Or models as detailed.
The problem is that not everyone loves aerith, she is a character that you need to play her game to like her and understand the importance of her death, whereas spiderman is a popular character in everything, so you obviously feel bad about his story
@@EldenLord-wh4ov well, except for not everyone likes Spiderman, the hero who specializes in always getting his butt kicked but somehow winning anyways.
Brok’s death was my PTSD. It felt like I lost a friend when he got stabbed. And “Blood Upon the Snow” after his funeral didn’t help me whatsoever. Kept crying.
Witcher 3 (SPOILER) Vesemir's death and especially Geralt's reaction to it always get me. First how he dies, giving his life to prevent Ciri from essentially giving up her life for theirs. And then when Geralt first notices him lying dead on the ground, the realization of what he's seeing, and then taking the time to put Vesemir's sword back into its sheath. It's a little thing but so much behind it
not really imo. arthur's death was slow and the game made sure to get the player psychologically ready for his death. john's death was almost sudden. after dutch's death everything seemed to go back to normal for john and his family and the game makes you think that the story is over. and then suddenly edgar ross and his men come to kill marston. what made his death hurt even more is that last dead eye that gave us somewhat of a hope that john might somehow survive before you get to see his body get brutally mutilated.

Another thing about Reggie's death that wasnt mentioned is that in the game's good karma ending, Delsin spraypaints a memorial of his brother. On the same billboard he'd vandalized in the beginning(which had a picture of his brother)
Good catch! I did forget to add that
I like the good Karmas out of infamous anyway their more melancholy but good in the scheme of this life second son and 2 were Cole diee but everyone else lives
Delsin says the same thing to Reggie that Zeke did to Cole in Infamous 2. "I love you, brother, and I'm sure gonna miss you."

Taka's death actually broke me, and obviously Jin and Yuna. Glad my boi Jin slid back for him in the end, he deserved it.
True, but for me honouring lord shimura with his last wish was more emotional, especially for that masterpiece of a song.
Jin’s horse’s death was also pretty heartbreaking. I know he’s not a character like Yuna, but he was with you for whole first and second acts of the game. So it broke my heart seeing him get shot with arrows and dying

@shadowarrow1998 100%...It could be he is the one that finds a way to kill kratos... Because it will probably happen someday... And i can see sindri taking the kratos path of revenge...
Titanfall 2 and A Way Out DESERVE to be on this list
honestly murking Reggie sealed Augustine's fate for me first playthrough, it's the first time I actively chose to do the darkside ending on the first run
The saddest for me will always be Dom's death from Gears of War 3. As a fan of the series if you played them from the first game, that scene hits really hard.
I had to set the controller down and take a breather, if I'm being honest.
And Marcus Trying to scramble to his feet to go and get dom just incase he survived the first explosion only to be held back by anya. And then the tanker detonated and you just see him stop
Dom’s death was the only one that ever actually made me cry
I bawled my eyes out becuz of that scene
My brother David is a huge fan of the series. His favorite character was Dom. He cried his eyes out.
aunt may's death (and otto's final convo with peter) were the first thing that made me shed tears on a video game
Aunt mays is ridiculously heartbreaking
@@TonyCeno It's also with a character who also suffers, losing so much and yet always pulls through for the people he loves
"If you help someone, you help everyone"
"If you help someone, you help everyone"
That final conversation with Ock is world-breaking. The way Peter just... walks away, anguished and lost while Otto screams in desperation is one of the saddest scenes in any game
"Makarov knows yuri"
Felt bad for Reggie but im glad his brother got revenge
Infamous second son was so ahead of its time if you play it on ps5 it looks and runs like a ps5 launch title but it was a ps4 launch title
I play that game and my god I loved it since the start
I wish more people knew about the og 2 infamous games. It’s ps3 and a lot more dated but I loved both of them. Cole Mckgrath, aka The Demon of Empire City. Badass
When I saw that scene of Reggie’s death when I got to that part of the game I was shocked and devastated just like delsien I was literally thinking okay Augustine you deserve what you’re going to get

@@user-uh6gb3hl8d if you play the game right he doesn't die. (yes I'm aware he can die but at the same time killing mason is a sin)
A plague tale: requiem was one of if not the ONLY game I cried at the ending too.
And I didn’t even play the first game, I didn’t even know there was a first game till after
After I beat Plague Tale Requiem, I couldn't touch any games as I was so depressed. It really is an life changing experience as the way the characters act/feel is very realistic to how we act. We'd do whatever we could to save someone, but sometimes it doesn't always work out
@@its_saber1525 it actually felt like I lost my brother for a bit after that
@@Hoodini2253 it really did feel like that, I literally felt so depressed. I felt like how I did when my uncle passed away
@@its_saber1525 especially being the one to do it yourself makes it 10x more. Srry for ur loss btw tho
21:45 it really hit hard when you hear the flat line
i've seen things about how John could've just gone through the back door of the barn and ran off with abigail and jack... but if he had done that the government would've tracked him down and most likely kill abigail and jack that time, so he had to sacrifice himself to save the rest of his family.
Watching this made me realize something. When someone dies its not the death itself that makes it so hard. Its living with the aftermath that is
i agree with lee i defiently cried when he died but on the last season when clem met him in her dreams it was soooo much sadder
For people who have played the original Mw3 Soaps death broke me when i first saw it, Especially the part where price was breaking down and calling for soap not to die.
I KNEW brok's death was going to be here, it might have been the only death in a video game that actually made me cry
Samee it was so unexpected
Just made me relive some of the worst times I’ve ever had in gaming.
Dom's death from gears of war 3 is the saddest in all of gaming
Agreed.
More than anything it was Marcus' frantic yell that made me cry
If you didn't say it I would have his death broke me
Literally one of the only games that actually made me cry when someone died man. It broke me
Definitely deserves on this list
the last of us and spider man and red dead made me cry.....also love ur vids
Lee’s death broke me. I mean…damn…
Lee is the only death that made me full on cry, Brok and aunt May's deaths always make me tear up and whilst I don't cry when Arthur dies watching him slowly die from TB is awful
I’m not one to cry at games or movies, Arthur got a few tears out of me though
Mordin's death in ME3 hit me hard, especially when he started singing his song...
My husband and I were playing at the same time and keeping pace so we wouldn't spoil each other and we just looked up and bawled. Then we hugged for like 10 minutes crying. It was pretty rough.
Had to be him. Someone else might have gotten it wrong. 😭
Mordin. Anderson. Legion. The Virmire Sacrifice. Suicide mission members if you don’t know what you are doing. Tali if you choose Legion but can’t talk down the Quarians.
So much potential heartbreak in the ME trilogy.
The death of Rosalina’s mother is one that really gets me, and in a Nintendo game at that.
No one talks about second son infamous forgot his name but the guys brother was a good character
Zeke I think
Honorable mention for me is Darko Brevic from GTA 4. He (as his name implies) is someone who is very similar to Niko in background and upbringing but a few bad choices between drugs and money leads him to selling out his squad. What amplifies it for me is the way it impacts Niko in the ends because he let his revenge consume him and in the end he feels empty and devoid of purpose
Roman and Kate are sadder deaths in my opinion.
Roman and Kate deaths were unexpected and both died by mistake (both killers were trying to kill Niko) so these hit hard. Roman was his cousin which once was walking from church maried and after short struggle with assassin Niko saw him lying dead on sidewalk with crying bride what made Niko shot few times killers body in despair and anger, when Kate died in drive-by shooting and she was dying in Niko's amrs and there was nothing he could do. Both deaths had a little different outcome on Niko (after Roman he was more angry, after Kate he was more sad)
I remember playing Infamous Second Son, I was a kid, one of the first games I played on a console, and Reggies death was the first time I actually teared up from a video game, and the first time I wanted vengeance.
The thing that hurts me about Reggie’s death is the fact that the concrete doesn’t kill people, like we saw with Hank. Which means that reggie dies drowning
Hugo’s death in A Plague Tale Requiem still hurts me 2 years later
Here’s what I see between Athur’s death and John’s death in my opinion
John’s death was shocking. It was something I never thought would happen. John had just got his family back, it seemed he had finally outrun his outlaw life, which I believed. But then the lawmen came back, and shot him down just like that. No dramatic lighting, no high rising music. Just shot down like an animal. I sat there for several minutes, shocked at what I just saw, trying to process what happened, unable to move on, the reality of what just happened was still setting in.
Arthur Morgan’s death was different, once he was told he contracted tuberculosis, I knew he was going to die, and I wanted to make his last moments as quiet and peaceful as possible. His words to the people he speaks with, him wanting to change. It hurt to watch. And when his death finally came. I just couldn’t come to terms with everything that happened, he had died, and the adventures, and the outlaw life died with him. Simply poetic.
John’s death left a much stronger initial impact. Arthur’s death left an impact that I still can’t leave behind.
I can say, that Leo/Vincent death from 'A way out' is also saddest when the final boss is actually your own best friend
Honorable mention to Eli Vance’s death in Half-Life 2: Episode 2. They did alter the timeline in Alyx though.
I agree with all of these. Another honourable mention is Life is strange, save the town choice ending. Time goes back to before Max meets Chloe again, and has no recollection, memory or experience of all the time she spends with your player - Max. The sad thing is she has to live knowing she got to see her friend one last time, even though when the timeline altered, none of these events happened, and Max is the only one with any recollection of it.
This wasn’t on their but all my Mortal Kombat fans know that scorpions death is one of the saddest deaths in gaming history. Such and a amazing character and OG guy died to D’vorahs poison
Liu Kang and Kitana in Mortal Kombat 9 was more sad in my opinion. Kitana begging her brainwashed mother to not kill her and when Raiden and Liu Kang arrive too late, she uses her last breath to tell Liu Kang "You were right. I wish we met under different circumstances". A really heartbreaking moment that made Liu Kang angry with Raiden which would lead to a showdown between the two in the final chapter of the story mode where Liu Kang would sadly meet the same fate like Kitana as Raiden kills him accidentally in the act of self-defense. Raiden feeling devastated by what just happened, begs Liu for forgiveness but Liu gives him one last response before he passes away. "You.....killed us.....all."
@@xristaka8199Scorpion's was more emotional but Liu Kang's was cold tho "You have doomed us all"
It's really satisfying to finally see inFAMOUS Second Son get some recognition. Delsin is such a wasted character who had way too much potential in my opinion.
These didn't make the list but the First horse and Lord Shimura's deaths/bad ending from Ghost of Tsushima broke me and still does with me playing this game shortly after a member of my family passed.
I am surprised Sergeant Johnson’s death in Halo 3 and Noble Six’s death from Halo Reach isn’t here. Those scenes are truly heartbreaking.
Making me watch that aunt may death again was dirty man, got me crying all over again at 2 am
Reggie went out like a great older brother. That was when the beef with Augustine got personal
I want a new Infamous game
Still Zack Fair's death in Crisis Core.. You know he will die but the way his life slowly fades away w/ the price of freedom playing as the bgm hits differently
Loved this video, very entertaining
I still cry at aunt mays scene
Same man
“I’ll miss you”
“Me too”
-telltale walking dead
Arthur death really hit hard for Dutch, especially knowing that Dutch always saw him as his own son.
For me, one of the best deaths is noble team from halo reach (i know ive put a group of people instead of one but go with it) as they each die in unique ways and each death hits you in a different way until you just feel totally helpless when you see noble 6 pinned to the ground and stabbed to death by the covenant. Just such an amazing scene and set of character deaths as you've spent the game with these characters and although its a short game, its long enough for you to grasp the basics of their characters and their relationship to reach as a home so watching them die one by one as the situation gets grimmer until you are the last human standing on the plannet is so impactfull and the callback to the beginning with your personal damaged helmet on the grass was such a nice touch and made it all the more impactful
Having Reggie on this list is actually so valid (I may or may not have cried during his death)
Great vid dude honestly i wouldn't mind If you took on more longer vids because this was pretty damn good
One thing i haven't seen people talk about is that Sindri stops wearing gloves when Brok dies, he has shown that he is a germaphobe and that small detail shows that his mind is broken, he has also said that he can feel the souls of the lake of souls grabbing his arms, and i think that's another reason why he doesn't have his gloves on, he wants to feel them, i think he wants to feel the discomfort
What a great video you just listed. My saddest deaths game characters in my life, especially jol daughter 😢
God of war Ragnarok, literally the only time I cried at a video game was in Thor and Broks death, mainly Broks
The voice actor did such a good job
For me the saddest death was cole macgrath from Infamous 2 when I got the hero ending, man those feelings I really wasn't expecting him to die because in my mind the protagonist can't die but I was wrong.
Dude !!!!! I’m still heated after that. More because we wouldn’t get infamous 3 and it was such a great game. RIP Cole Macgarth
@@Infamous6091 yea bro big sad I hope in the future the make a 3rd infamous game
Man I am still hoping for sucker punch to either remake the previous games or do a new one
There's one death you missed Alex Masons death in Black Ops 2
Dude, I almost started tearing up at Aunt Mays death.
Lee Everett’s death was sad
i knew ragnarok was gonna be here
you didnt mention the fact that in the ending of ragnarok, theres a scene where atreus traps odin in sort of a marble, in the end sindri snatches that marble and breaks it killing odin. i did never expect that the happy sindri i knew to end off the story
Clive from Final Fantasy XVI was also sad for me. Its at 3 for 3 for making me cry. Lee was the first time i cried, and will always cry at, same with season 2.
The option where Franklin kills Micheal. It wont make you cry. But just the thought of a man betraying his mentor hurts inside.
The game death that hurt me most was Kat from noble team, or even 6. But kat the most, she never even saw it coming, didn't go out on her own terms and never saw the end of the mission...
I watched this video in the hope that there might be a halo acknowledgement but it was playstation centred. I'd also think johnson and Miranda keyes would be up there as well as carter and Jorge. Really all of noble teams deaths were sad like you said
HOW did AERITH'S death scene not make the list??? But SPIDERMAN did?? Wtf!? FF7 OG Aerith's death scene is ICONIC in the video game world. Dropped the ball completely on this....
That death isnt sad for everyone. Especially not for those who didnt play the original game. Additionaly these death's are sadder because we actually see, hear, and feel the characters reactions. The original FF7 doesnt have voice acting. Or models as detailed.
The problem is that not everyone loves aerith, she is a character that you need to play her game to like her and understand the importance of her death, whereas spiderman is a popular character in everything, so you obviously feel bad about his story
Aunt May >>>> Aerith
@@EldenLord-wh4ov well, except for not everyone likes Spiderman, the hero who specializes in always getting his butt kicked but somehow winning anyways.
They don't understand. Still the most shocking scene, in gaming history. The only one in this top ten even close, is Walking Dead.
Gotta say I love how end of read dead 1 look close and jack is wearing Arthur’s coat and John’s hat. Truly full circle
Brok’s death was my PTSD. It felt like I lost a friend when he got stabbed. And “Blood Upon the Snow” after his funeral didn’t help me whatsoever. Kept crying.
Witcher 3 (SPOILER)
Vesemir's death and especially Geralt's reaction to it always get me. First how he dies, giving his life to prevent Ciri from essentially giving up her life for theirs. And then when Geralt first notices him lying dead on the ground, the realization of what he's seeing, and then taking the time to put Vesemir's sword back into its sheath. It's a little thing but so much behind it
Bro I just finished the tutorial
@@mrchubzdathird5449 oh shit. I am genuinely sorry
@@mrchubzdathird5449 if it helps at all, that isn't like a end of game spoiler.
You also left out aerith from final fantasy 7
I have never even gotten close to crying because of a show, but games, I have absolutely cried
You forgot about Ruben's death in minecraft story mode. I cried a lot and was glad that there was a memorial for him.
No joke at 1:05 an ad for nerf just popped up on my screen when this happens
It's nerf or nothing
Yo reggies and zekes hit hard in the infamous series
Dom from gears of war was one of the saddest deaths in gaming. It shouldve been on here
19:31 So true though- Aunt May can't catch any break espically in NWH in the movie😭🙏
Varl from Horizon Forbidden West death was unexpected and painful.
Arthur’s death is 1000 times sadder than johns
not really imo. arthur's death was slow and the game made sure to get the player psychologically ready for his death. john's death was almost sudden. after dutch's death everything seemed to go back to normal for john and his family and the game makes you think that the story is over. and then suddenly edgar ross and his men come to kill marston. what made his death hurt even more is that last dead eye that gave us somewhat of a hope that john might somehow survive before you get to see his body get brutally mutilated.
I have cried more times during this video than at any other point in my life and i dont know what to say about that
