When I first had all the options filled out... they were all Squaresoft games. So I decided to change it around a bit Cheesy

Well I haven't played any of those games except for Pac-Man, and Pac-Man's death isn't sad, so I can't vote.  laugh

Tragic, positively tragic. I wonder what he would have thought of the relative success of his WonderSwan system, and what he would have done with the DS?

Now to cast a vote...  Grin

Why do people consider Lisa's Mutation sad? It's cheesy, the music is fit to drink fancy coffee too and  it has the classic apostrophe catastrophe "Why I'm still alive even though everyone else's dead...".

If anything man, you should have put Meryl's Death from MGS in (comprising the entire second half of the game if you press SELECT in Ocelot's "interrogation").

Actually, honestly screw Meryl's Death. The one I teared up at was Sniper Wolf's death.

I'd have to say the saddest moment (along with Aeris' Death) was the death of E.E. in MGS2. I just didn't see it coming when it happened, probably why it shocked me.

I think the only time I've really suffered some deep emotion might be the end of Max Payne 2 done on the hardest difficulty. Very poetic.

Phoenix Wright also had some sad moments in it (not the latest one, but some of the previous 3).

I recall being very disappointed by Yoshimo in Baldurs Gate 2, that was a real pain. I recall being really saddened by Irenicus' final monologue on his reasons behind his actions, and when dragged to hell how he had nothing left.

And I was saddened by the poor gameplay in KotOR2 - when after saving the hides of these 3 ultra powerful jedi, some old bint comes in and kills them all in a second in a cutscene. Gah!

Alyx and so forth in Half Life just don't seem to do anything for me though. Possibly because the story is so forcibly drip fed in details it's very hard to get attached to people you know nearly nothing about in a world you know nearly nothing about.

Anything much before graphical games though, I've not had the experience of. I've read that some text adventures had some real tear jerker moments, and since they read like a book no doubt it's quite a bit to fill the imagination with it rather then see it on screen.

Also the game is an overrated piece of crap.
