@H. Bell Exactly wtf that ending was by far
the saddest
What about Benjamin carmine
Ghost come in this is Price!
Ghost death
the character i choose is gamma from sonic adventure the story of gamma start with robotnik make a new crew of bednik the the E series one of them is e 102 gamma after a fight against his older brother beta him and the other robots not include beta trying to find frog that eat the chaos emerald gamma find the frog and bring to eggman and because the others filled they disappear after that robotnik says to gamma bring him a bird that was a family member of the birds in gamma and beta from amy rose that got capture he to the worng room and find beta breaking a part after a conversion that in the end gamma free amy he goes to fight sonic amy stop the fight and Everyone eascap gamma think what he saw and come to an understanding that he need destroyed the robots and free the animals after that gamma encounter beta angry he fight but before beta died he shot gamma after beta die gamma see a picture of the birds and realized he need to finish what he start and explode after that the birds reunited but everyone don’t know about the thing he had do
Arthur Morgans horse should have made this list.
So true
Bruh you can literally switch horses right before his last mission for same dialogue
Dude yes.
Same as henri from the walking dead saints and sinners
The old veteran “hamish” should have too, but anyways I was using his horse buell😭
That Henry & Sam scene hit me like a truck. We barely knew them but their deaths still left a lasting impact on me.
I miss roach cause takedown and that jump of the cliff wow
As a black person I kinda knew it was coming since most of us have a 20.5% of surviving Zombie/Horror Movies/games.
UwU
no roach and ghosts death was sadder
I know arthur morgan was the main protagonist for nearly all of red dead redemption 2, but it still hurts to see him die, especially when you play as john in the epilogue 😭
My first horse in RDR2 😢 that was really my girl 😩 but I was careless and let her get killed
At my first walkthrough i somehow managed to get the first horse of the game alive to the end, it was heartbreaking to see her die.
That reminds me when I was sad because in BoTW a black bokoblin killed my horse poopoo
Taj Williams it’s ok boah
Mine got stuck in the train tracks and got ran over by a train
@Xander Bucher a real nice epic homer, real epic
Vesemir is incredibly tragic because like he’s a father figure to the whole gang geralt, eskel, and ciri vesemir making her death traumatic and harrowing to players and characters
@hydroshock18 ah alright I’ll correct it
@Mahsofabish Weenie Crach dies no matter what, not just on the best ending
That gave us a massive ambition towards killing them though, and it made the end all that much better. When you finally get to kill Eredin and Imlerith it was satisfying to the player. But we can’t forget crach an crait is killed as well, This made the wild hunt have the best villains (in my opinion) and the best ambition towards finally killing them
Made revenge on Imlerith that much sweeter. If I was in Geralt’s shoes, I would have not given him that mercy blow
Ff7 is a masterpiece. The sole reason it was remade. Story line. Soundtrack. Character building. Great antagonist and protagonist. Plenty of adventure and gameplay. Heart breaking moments and scenes that’ll make you smile. Aeriths death hit everyone who has played the game.
Dom’s death will always hit me the hardest more then any other character
Agreed
Especially if u played one and two but definitely two
I agree gears of war was not the same without him
Losing Dom hit me in my hearts heart.. Then hearing mad world playing in the background.. truly sad RIP DOM!!
The tears were REAL!
You forgot to mention that Chloe is also Max’s love interest,which makes the final decision even more difficult than it already was.
FFXV The Regalia
That car was the only link Noctis had with his father. That car was as big of a companion as the rest of the party
Damn so there are other people who like FFXV, that game was the first to have made me cry
*#1: Charles – Completing the Mission*
Yeah. Why didn’t they add him?
True as fk
My eyes 😭
SPOILERS MAN!
Charles remind me of ghost:(((((((
The music that goes with Aerith’s death makes it more impactful for me, I can still hear the music to this day. This one of the best game musical pieces ever for me.
Surely Joel from Last of Us Part 2 should be number 1? Even with the leaks, and after all these months, I’m still not over the death of Joel Miller.
@Archo Pretty debatable…
Arthur’s death is worse
@Archo Well, that’s debatable, but at least they didn’t include it.
That game is a piece of propaganda while every game on this list is a piece of art
Honorable mention: Mary Read, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag
For sure
cant belive you forgot the miinecraft dog
@Thomas Robinson i was playing, but hasn’t come at this
What about bt in titan fall
Also Cristina’s death in brotherhood. That death had feels as all AC characters do.
Honorable Mention:
*Jessie – FF7 Remake
-*sniff* This still gets me. 😭
@Ancestor Empire yeah, certain tropes are used too often in games, and stories in general, these days. look at Avengers: Endgame, felt kinda cliche that that’s what was needed to deal with what happened in the previous film
@Trav Stein I remember when Time Travel was only used maybe once in a story and that was it.
Now it’s way over blown.
@Ancestor Empire agreed. sometimes its done well, like the Prince of Persia series and Life is Strange, but most of the time it just doesn’t fit, I hear that was part of the problem with FFXIII-2
Trav Stein me too.
I just hope they don’t use time travel. That cliche is so overdone that it’s insulting.
@Ancestor Empire i hadn’t even noticed that lol, so maybe she will be. i’ll be curious to see what the sequel does in continuing the story
Honestly I would say that Soap’s death did deserve to be in this list cause well we play as him in COD4 and MW2 so his death in MW3 is pretty unexpected and sad and Captain Price first time crying makes sadder
That Ghost and Roach death scene still hits to this dat
Every noble team member in halo reach, dominic Santiago is the most heartbreaking
@goat” we should all be so lucky”
Carter
Jorges death was the most heartbreaking he died thinking he saved reach
Dom is by far the greatest companion and i cried so bad when he died
Jorge made me cry hard
I cried so much when charter died
ghost death was shocking yes, but soap in mw3…. right in the feels man
that’s why Makarov’s death was so satisfying. if he was just another antagonist, it wouldn’t have been as satisfying
I honestly don’t get the hype for Ghost. He’s overrated, only appeared in one game, and got barely any screentime. Soap on the other hand was in the entire trilogy. I think Soap deserves more praise than the overrated Ghost.
