  1. 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 😭

    1. 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.

  2. 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

    1. 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

  3. 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.

  4. You forgot to mention that Chloe is also Max’s love interest,which makes the final decision even more difficult than it already was.

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

    1. @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

    2. @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.

    3. @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

    4. @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

  8. 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

    1. that’s why Makarov’s death was so satisfying. if he was just another antagonist, it wouldn’t have been as satisfying

    2. 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.
