The most depressing part about Majoras mask is that you cant save everyone. Sure you stop the moon from falling but none of the dungeons are actually cleared nor any of the side quests done because of the time resets.
I hear ya, man. That's why I always made sure to do one last 3-day cycle after finishing off everything to kill all the bosses again and get as many sidequests done (again) as possible. Just so that after all those time resets Link still helped at least -some- of the people in the long run.
kacie bombastic I was in the 5th grade, didn't have many friends during the time, I was suffering from a lack of social interaction, and so I decide to play some Animal Crossing because I had too much time on my hands. I played Animal Crossing on the game cube when it first came out in 2002 and it single-handily got me hooked on what Nintendo had to offer. I'm 19 now, purchased New Leaf and this series still melts my heart. So this series is far from depressing for me.
Isaiah Marquez ha yeah, i got hooked back in 2008 and the city folk christmas music makes me cry with nostalgia every time. it really does bring up a lot of great memories, yeah?
kacie bombastic It's my favorite series, there's only one time I've ever been disappointed and that is with City Folk. It's easy to think that I hated but no. I was only slightly disillusioned. It was somewhat of a copy and paste From Wild World on the DS but with all the new things that were added, and the fact that they added some things that made the first Animal Crossing great that were missing in the GBA and DS versions, I could do nothing but forgive Nintendo for that. In addition, Animal Crossing is one of those Pick-up-and-play kinda games, so I was thrilled to see that New Leaf was coming out.
Dark Souls has to be the saddest game I've played in a long time, I mean, all of your companions die, the world is dying, all of the great hero's and gods are either dead or insane, so much of the culture of the world is lost and you must adventure across the land of Lordran alone in order to try to save the world.
My dad bought me a PS3 and MGS4 when I was 10 because he though the game was "good for me". So, an entire August later, we are in front of the TV, bawling, after the ending cutscene. 3 years later he gets me Rising too. Thanks, Dad. ;_;7
@@JaelinBezel it’s a lot of fun if you’re into card games! I only just learned recently between playing 51 Worldwide Classics on the Switch and Yakuza, but if you bother learning the sets and stuff it’s good fun!
Oh, but MGS 3 probably has the saddest ending for me, personally. Partially because it meant the end to such a fantastic game, but also because of the crushing of the heart.
Mutzaki While MGS3's ending is depressing, the game itself is more tongue in cheek. MGS4 is basically a tear-fest throughout. Do you remember how you felt for snake after the events on the Volta? I remember feeling really bad for him getting that horribly burned.
No Pac-Man? That game deserves a spot, I think. I mean, the game is about eating as much as you can. That's it's only point, to feed your character's gluttonous mouth-hole. The game only ends if you die. It's one of those games that make you question everything.
James Toomer That didn't affect me too much, but in Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky... *SPOILERS* ...Grovyle's sacrifice always devastates me. That music...oooh, that beautiful music...
I am sorry but what is depressing about a game like GTA IV? Sorry let me rephrase that: what is depressing about a game in which it has an Internet cafe called "TW@" and a few immature sexual parts references? To me GTA IV will never be on the same level as Red Dead Redemption or even Spec Ops The Line. But still GTA IV could be gritty sometimes I agree.
Derpy guy I just personally found that both endings are depressing, considering how good of character development it had. But it definitely isn't on the level of Red Dead or Spec Ops.
My dad bought me Majora's Mask the Christmas after it was released. He told me that I started crying once I figured out that the characters were gunna die in 3 days. So depressing.. still one of my favorites!
The very thought of the game at this point makes my tear ducts well up ;_;. I find it ironic that I don't want to play the game again because it just emotionally wrecked me. Everyone should give the game a play just to see one of the greatest and most emotionally fueled games ever made...
kirbyza I am replaying it right now, and finding all of the jokes and things! You should talk to more people and situational characters. You'll find a lot of hidden jokes. Like there's this group of writers doing lines for the game behind one of the locked doors in the Yado Hotel. All of the game is worth exploring, heartbreak and all. :3
Too late, I've already done it. Also, wikipedia is only inaccurate if it doesn't include sources, and most well written articles/pages usually come with no less than 50 sources (depending on the article length), so your point is mostly moot, anyway.
Well since his point was satirical, he knows that, I know that, and mostly everyone else knows that. Unless back in 1889, the playing cards that Nintendo printed were solely used to make girls cry. In which case, it wasn't satire and this whole venture turns into a pointless rambling. Imagine that.
Gativrek Vieira The lore of the game is so sad: Solaire, Sif, Artorias, Oscar and a lot of charachters have a really curious lore. Is Solaire the first son of Lord Gwyn? Why Artorias chose to be devoured by the Abiss? What kind of relationship is between Sun knights and Gwendolyn, the Dark Sun? All this questions have no answer, and this is some questions of the Lore, sad but beautiful however
AxtroKiller31 If I may add onto that: Throughout the whole game, you're alone. Sure you have the occasional NPC Merchant like Andre but at the end of the day, you're travelling Lordran all by your lonesome.
I don't really have a sad game list, but any time a character struggles to breathe, anything where you sit through someone suffering, and anything to do with cancer gets me so upset. I do not want to be reminded of my terminal illness, thank you very much game. Caddy's list was great. I haven't played any of these games (I'm so uncultured lol) but they look pretty sad. I'd love to see a counter to this list, like Ten of the Happiest Games he's ever played. That would be nice.
17:13 the most depressing thing I’ve ever encountered is a children’s book called wings of fire that’s dark, depressing, and the ideas are ridiculous, it likes subversion of tropes, dead children and tortured children, I mean young children going through solid snake type shit, from what I’ve researched.
I'm gonna be really honest here, I felt dead on the inside after the ending of each Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game. Of course, it ends happily in the post game, but the cannon story is heart breaking. You literally fight for your life alongside your friends, and then you have to leave them in the end. It's not as depressing as some of the stuff on this, but it's pretty high up there for me.
2013. Wow. I don’t really remember anything except that in 2010 I had a cat that I’d had for 10 yrs die of cancer and then in 2011 my other cat that I’d had for the same 10 yrs also die of cancer. Yep. Still miss them.
Wow 5 years already? And Caddy's still just as, if not more funny? He hasn't changed in a way that has made me yearn for the old days of his channel, but love them equally? Caddy, you are a legend
"To The Moon", I admit I've never played it, but I've watched multiple walkthroughs and Let's Plays of it. It's depressing as hell, even though the ending is somewhat happy, and even though it's peppered with comedic and fun moments, it's still extremely sad and hits home really hard. It will completely destroy your emotions at a few points and even just hearing the song "For River" makes me feel like tearing up all over again. "Corpse Party" games are also pretty depressing. Most Silent Hill games are depressing as hell. [Prototype] and [Prototype 2] were surprisingly depressing as well. Some RPG maker horror games are misarable as well. OFF being the king of depressing RPG maker games. You just feel so regretful and misarable by the ending. I love OFF but geez it's still really sad after all these years. Also there's Ib and Crooked Man, and One Shot, and a whole lot more other games which will at least make you feel empty inside at one point.
***** What about the cut story about the knight in the asylum at the very beginning of DS1? He wants to be a part of fate as either the hero or the villain, but either way, he wants to be important. And the player's Chosen Undead is the one destined, or at least happenstanced, to be the great one-and-only of legend.
well the game is so boring that it made me depressed luckily the confusion I had for the story was enough to make me get KH2 which saved my hopes on the franchise
The first game that actually made me cry was Twilight Princess, when Midna teleported Link and Zelda while staying behind to finish off Ganon was hard to take but when that bastard appeared holding her helmet and crushing it broke....hard. Then the ending, where she leaves......god fucking damnit Nintendo.
Exotic Musa the last of us was nothing compared to the walking dead with me. to me, it feels like the last of us was only made to become the "new" the walking dead, if that makes sense.
Limbo, Nihilumbra, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Hitman: Contracts, Planescape: Torment, Outlast, Amnesia(both of them), Mafia, Call of Juarez: Bound in blood, Spec Ops: The line, Binding of Isaac and very more;)
Well I do have to say once more Caddy! You did a pretty awesome job putting this list together all things considered! Although I do have to admit, the jokes you threw in this countdown did make give me a few tidbits of joyful laughter and did make this morbid countdown extremely enjoyable to sit through, so kudo's to you adding some bright humor to this tear jerking list all things considered! Anyway, a fantastic job done on the list once again Caddy (I find it hard to believe that this list is only year old if so)! I do hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend and God bless you! Thanks, come back and see me! P.S, I do have to agree to agree with you on your number three and two spots, seeing to how after my first time playing through S.O.T.C and Heavy Rain (Are you and me the only ones who actually like that game if so) and reaching both games endings, I generally felt depressed for several days if so (There's not a whole lot I can say about the other games on the list since I haven't played through any of them, although I plan on getting through MGS4 in the near future, so wish me luck)!
The Dark Souls games are pretty depressing. But I think the most depressing game I've ever played would have to be Halo Reach. IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE AND READ MY REASONING FOR THIS CLAIM, BE WARNED THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD Seriously, every time you win, every time victory is yours, it's taken from you. And then you team members, you only friends, all get killed off one by one. Finally, you, Noble 6, stay behind to fight off the Covenant while the ship (I think it was called the Pillar of Autumn or something, right?) escapes, leading to not only one of the saddest, most heart-wrenching deaths and endings, but also one of the most badass and intense final levels in any game I've ever played. Bungie, I tip my hat to you.
Most depressing game I've seen? Beyond: Two Souls. I know this countdown came out before that game did, but if you decide to do a followup countdown, you HAVE to include Beyond: Two Souls.
Decided to waste some time on my birthday watching you tube, and stumble on to this video only to get a happy birthday from you well that's just fun! Cause it is my birthday today!
The Walking Dead: season one completely destroys Heavy Rain when it comes to depressing shit. Mainly due to the strong writing. Plus, it isn't unintentionally funny.. unless you count some of the odd glitches.
+Michael Pruette Also doesn't have a lot of plot holes, I mean he called the police on himself? WHAT? Yeah, TWDS1 is tied for my favorite game of all time, man was it impressive then, still impressive now.
Caddy, I like you. Your a cool guy and are pretty funny. But for the love of GOD do not call Fahrenheit a great game! Its ok at the beginning but near the ending oh god the ending! The fights look the shit. The random sex scene at the end made no sense! The mechanics are... shit for lack of a better word. David Cage makes playable games, not the master pieces he thinks he makes.
Well, i'm not going to lie, i quite enjoy Quantic Dream's games. But i think this is the case where after a while i couldnt care less about what David Cage says. It's like whenever i read something from Lovecraft, i have to ignore all his background to actually enjoy his books. Problem is, while sometimes he appears to be a bit megalomaniac, Cage's points of view are by no means as harmful as Lovecraft's. I dont ignore his shortcomings, it's just they are not that important to me. excuse my english.
He can call whatever game he want great. It's his opinion. Not everybody is going to agree with someone else. You are not wrong in *thinking* it's a bad game because it is *your opinion* and he is free to call whatever he wants to call great because it is *his opinion.*
Most depressing series? Easy! Dead Space.....watch the DLC ending to Dead Space 3 and tell me that isn't the most depressing shit in the history of ever.
ZobmieRules In a some way, do we really have any choises in that game? Do we really have controll of Walker? Do the game decide for you? Is this living nightmare even real? In the game, you're told "this is all your fault" and "you could stop any time". What they meant was that throughout the game, you have the choise to just stop playing. This is the first game I've played that makes you do horrible things, then punish you for being a horrible person. It's a right mindfuck, and the best use of ludonarrative dissonance I've ever played. Make sure you check out a channel called "Extra Credit". They did an amazing job analysing it.

@@PeninsulaPaintings lmao
As soon as I saw Wii Fit at #10, I knew this was gonna be a great list
that dragon, cancer was a really sad game.
I liked Wii Fit.
"KONAMI, I HATE YOU!!"
Rather prophetic words.
I Feel like if Konami was a person, that is totally something she say.
Why? Because. yeah Fuck Konami

Yes
"Snake had a hard life." That was when I cried the most I have ever have, or ever will in my life.
I cried like a bitch when seeing Big Boss die.
I bet he cried like I was when I was watching SAO
its ok metal gear is a mostly funy but also realy sad franchise ):
I didn't
Watching Snake pick up Big Boss's cigar, lighting it, and putting it in Big Boss's mouth for him broke me. Still makes me tear up.
The most depressing part about Majoras mask is that you cant save everyone. Sure you stop the moon from falling but none of the dungeons are actually cleared nor any of the side quests done because of the time resets.

That's actually not true. You can do all four dungeons and many of the side quests if you budget your time effectively.
Exactly when you hold the boss’s remains they give you a shortcut to the boss room it’s pretty easy actually
"Oh, oh dear, oopsie-daisy. Did I do that?"
You're doing it again Caddy. STOP TURNING INTO SALAD FINGERS
I know this is an old comment, but I was thinking he sounded like that too. Good to know I'm not the only one. XD
all my ten are animal crossing. why?
785 hours. i have spent 785 hours talking to furries. and i still havent payed off all my mortgage.
I have about 3 years of total playtime on Animal Crossing Wild World for the DS and I paid off my loans in full within the span of a month.

MGS4 was the only time I cried because of a game.
Star General Snake attempted suicide, Big Boss dies and Zero too.
Big Boss is the original, Snake is his clone/son. Star General
Star General They're not even close of being the same person. (Genetically yes but not their personalities)
I bought I Have No Mouth I Must Scream when my depresssion was really bad.
Worst. Idea. Ever.
MOTHER 3! I swear this game made me blubber like a huge man-baby.
I can't do anything but agree with this. Why, Hinawa?! Why?!?
Claus...
Y U KEEL URSELF!?
And the new gameplay trailer looks absolutely fantastic!

I am baffled by people thinking this game is depressing it makes me happy a lot.
YEP.
I must be an emotional masochist, because this was essentially a list of some of my all-time favorite video games.
Someone has probably pointed this out years ago, but Nintendo started in 1889 as a card company making Hanafuda cards
And by years I mean a year ago
Sorry, but I don't know how to play Hanafuda. :(
@@JaelinBezel it’s a lot of fun if you’re into card games! I only just learned recently between playing 51 Worldwide Classics on the Switch and Yakuza, but if you bother learning the sets and stuff it’s good fun!
@@GamerNumNums My favorite movie is Summer Wars and the climax is a game of Hanafuda.
I would have put "One Chance" pretty high up.
Yes, its a flash game, but DAYUM dem feels
Yea.... Its really sad
i agree with you
Dat profilepictire
GlitchyShadow137 no.. NOT THE FEELS! ARRGH!
Agreed f**k the game
If it was founded in September 1889, that means that Nintendo is only 5 months younger than Adolf Hitler.
k.
+Edd Sampson the comparison is copletely stupid.....i kinda love it because of it (but nott really because hitler and stuff)
exactly
Why am I watching this the night before my cat is being put down?
Oh, but MGS 3 probably has the saddest ending for me, personally. Partially because it meant the end to such a fantastic game, but also because of the crushing of the heart.
my cat was put down last week

Meh, everyone fucks something up at some point. But the point still stands, ATLUS WANTS TO RIP YOUR EMOTIONS OUT YOUR ASS.
Aegis holding you in her arms ASDFGHTJKHKGHJCJFY DIUGHHHHH FEEELS

My god the Mystery dungeon series
*SPOILER ALERT*
They kill off the main character (the player) at the end of EVERY GAME IN THE SERIES.
You get them back in gates to infinity

You should talk to more people and situational characters. You'll find a lot of hidden jokes. Like there's this group of writers doing lines for the game behind one of the locked doors in the Yado Hotel.
All of the game is worth exploring, heartbreak and all. :3
You need not say more
"without getting outside" it changed now, quarantine, good times
Hey..where did Mother 3 dissapear from..
Even tho Mother 3 is extremely depressing theres only an english fan translation so not many ppl outside japan have played it

I DIED OF DEHYDRATION. TOO MANY TEARS, NOT ENOUGH WATER IN MY BODY.
prodiggy13 not to mention that fan translation isn't in most popular rom sites so it is a little hard to find prepatched on the game.

except for one chance
Dark Souls is depressing? lol

Is Solaire the first son of Lord Gwyn?
Why Artorias chose to be devoured by the Abiss?
What kind of relationship is between Sun knights and Gwendolyn, the Dark Sun?

I think the award for the most depressing game goes to Walking Dead
That Dragon, Cancer was super sad, and the genocide route for Undertale is actually slightly depressing, as well as the character story lines.

Some RPG maker horror games are misarable as well. OFF being the king of depressing RPG maker games. You just feel so regretful and misarable by the ending. I love OFF but geez it's still really sad after all these years. Also there's Ib and Crooked Man, and One Shot, and a whole lot more other games which will at least make you feel empty inside at one point.
To make Majora's Mask even more depressing... Link might be dead the entire time... Don't know what I'm talking about? Watch "Game Theory"
Also he goes through the stages of grieving.
Sumner Clark Shhh.... You'll let people in on the secret before they watch the episode I am blatantly advertising
Don't worry not many Americans have a degree in psychology.
I've watched it. That theory has enormous plotholes. More like a "Lame Theory"
Garra Charrua How so?
Seeing clean shaven Cad is absolutely werid. He has such a sweet baby face I never thought he had.
Persona 3. Nuff said.
Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Demon Souls, Bloodborne
How about those?
+Craig Kuhlman Knight Artorias and Pinwheel, 2 very depressing character backstories.
***** What about the cut story about the knight in the asylum at the very beginning of DS1? He wants to be a part of fate as either the hero or the villain, but either way, he wants to be important. And the player's Chosen Undead is the one destined, or at least happenstanced, to be the great one-and-only of legend.
Craig Kuhlman never heard of that one
***** Oscar. Oscar of Astoria. The knight that wears the Elite Knight set, the Astoria's Straight Sword, and the Crest Shield.
Craig Kuhlman
yeah i know what knight you are talking about, just never knew he was supposed to have had a backstory.
Four Words: The Binding of Isaac.
Those endings..
Yes
Eldritch Pikmin *Three words and a name, you mean. (note: I'm just kidding around)
One Word: Scoopoopis
Eldritch Pikmin 3 Words: To the Moon
10:28 Those 30 seconds were more entertaining than the entirety of Doug Walker's 'review' of The Wall.
I think Klonoa's ending was depressing. That and the part with his Grandpa.
Yeah, but overall the game as a whole wasn't a depressing experience.
I wish kingdom hearts 358\ 2 days was here
Same
Lol no.
"Who will I eat Ice Cream with?"
OG BamBam GO yah
well the game is so boring that it made me depressed luckily the confusion I had for the story was enough to make me get KH2 which saved my hopes on the franchise
Before I watch this video I will say: "I'm waiting Mother 3"
FFFFF I LOVE THE DARKNESS. THANK YOU. THAAAANKK YOOOUU. +10 points for the voice acting of Mike Patton.
PRESENTABLE. LIBERTY.
Oh god that game made me cry for like 2 hours
Dean Smith Really ? I thought it was hilariously pretentious.
Valiant Hearts: The Great War.
I still cry every time I watch the ending.
2013
4.1/10
AHHHHHHHHHHHH EMILE AHHHHRAGAGGGGGHHHHHH
I finished the game myself and I must say 10/10. One of the best games ever
Step 1. Don't go to war.
The first game that actually made me cry was Twilight Princess, when Midna teleported Link and Zelda while staying behind to finish off Ganon was hard to take but when that bastard appeared holding her helmet and crushing it broke....hard.
Then the ending, where she leaves......god fucking damnit Nintendo.
The first and only game that as ever made me cry was The Last of Us.
Exotic Musa the last of us was nothing compared to the walking dead with me. to me, it feels like the last of us was only made to become the "new" the walking dead, if that makes sense.
4am Honestly, The Last Of Us was nothing like the Walking Dead, in my opinion.
4am I've never played it, but I might give it a try.
Wow watching in 2020 and that 2013 joke is funny as hell
Sad that you didnt made this list beginning of 2015 Valiant Hearts would be somewhere
Limbo, Nihilumbra, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Hitman: Contracts, Planescape: Torment, Outlast, Amnesia(both of them), Mafia, Call of Juarez: Bound in blood, Spec Ops: The line, Binding of Isaac and very more;)
Yes to all!
Persona 3 deserves a place. Also, Max Payne 2 was depressing as fuck
yup
Persona 3 really? Not for me. I feel like none of the characters connected with each other and there wasn't much to them.
@@JT-xi3xr bs
@@GiordanDiodato Your right. I dont know what i was thinking when i wrote this 4 years ago.
Well I do have to say once more Caddy! You did a pretty awesome job putting this list together all things considered! Although I do have to admit, the jokes you threw in this countdown did make give me a few tidbits of joyful laughter and did make this morbid countdown extremely enjoyable to sit through, so kudo's to you adding some bright humor to this tear jerking list all things considered!
Anyway, a fantastic job done on the list once again Caddy (I find it hard to believe that this list is only year old if so)! I do hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend and God bless you! Thanks, come back and see me!
P.S, I do have to agree to agree with you on your number three and two spots, seeing to how after my first time playing through S.O.T.C and Heavy Rain (Are you and me the only ones who actually like that game if so) and reaching both games endings, I generally felt depressed for several days if so (There's not a whole lot I can say about the other games on the list since I haven't played through any of them, although I plan on getting through MGS4 in the near future, so wish me luck)!
drawn to life the next chapter's ending
DEM FUCKING FEELS
I agree DEM FEELS THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SEQUEL BUT NOPE THE WORLD HAD TO END
OH MY GOD
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
I GREW UP WITH THAT GAME
Ikr people NEVER talk about that game
That game.
My god.
How does no one know about that game series.
I KNOW.
I'd like to add walking dead from tell tale to the list.
damn straight
thearsday90 and i think fallout too, yeah the apoc sucks, in a sad way
You guys arent that stupid... are you?
No, I don't believe so.
He stated right in the beginning of the video that he hadn't played the walking dead yet, like literally right in the beginning.
Super...Paper...fucking...Mario
Yes! Whenever I used tiptron I felt so empty that it was just a cyber version of companion that enjoyed throughout the entire game.
Making it through a year alive... before 2020.
Drawn to life series. Just sayin'
The ending to Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter... Tears of both depression AND joy
ChocoPopcorn OMG ITS EVILINA!
The Dark Souls games are pretty depressing. But I think the most depressing game I've ever played would have to be Halo Reach.
IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE AND READ MY REASONING FOR THIS CLAIM, BE WARNED THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD
Seriously, every time you win, every time victory is yours, it's taken from you. And then you team members, you only friends, all get killed off one by one. Finally, you, Noble 6, stay behind to fight off the Covenant while the ship (I think it was called the Pillar of Autumn or something, right?) escapes, leading to not only one of the saddest, most heart-wrenching deaths and endings, but also one of the most badass and intense final levels in any game I've ever played. Bungie, I tip my hat to you.
Hotline Miami can be pretty depressing too. And yeah, Dark Souls has a very depressing feeling about it, especially the first one.
Hotline is not depressing, it's just weird as fuck.
xJustaShotAwayx No, it's pretty depressing when you get down to it. There are some sad elements in it, you kill your mentor, everyone you know dies.
And to make matters worse, you know you're going to fail right from the start. "hey, that helmet looks like mine- wait..."
halo 3 odst is pretty depressing, it's so lonely
Most depressing game I've seen?
Beyond: Two Souls.
I know this countdown came out before that game did, but if you decide to do a followup countdown, you HAVE to include Beyond: Two Souls.
that game was so shit i burned the living crap out of it literally now i hope i never see it again (my opinion)
....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BEYOND TWO SOULS WAS A TERRIBLE GAME!
Wait, Beyond Two Souls is a game???? Lol
beyond two souls was a beast
MrGamerUniverse1 ***** AegonTheConqueror
Do you really mean that, or are you just saying that because Pewds played it?
This is almost 10 years old caddy, time for an updated one because my gosh has their been some depressing games in the last decade xD
To the moon? Anyone?
I've never played Metal Gear Solid 4, but 16:20.... that got me, that fucking got me.
...PMD:Explorers series...all I have to say.
Oh god, not THAT one!! ;~;
Not to mention,and sad to happy ending of the grovyle episode in sky.Just...*Sheds a little tear*
My mom has started listening to Pink Floyd again, so I had to come back for that Shadow of the Colossus bit. XD
3 words: To the moon
Persona 3 that's all I'm gonna say
What about to the moon?
I love that game so much. So many tears T^T so many feels
Pikmin is the most depressing game. Have you ever accidentally thrown a pikmin in the water and watched his tiny little soul float away into nothing.
Undertale: Genocide run
+THÁI ANH idk what you mean Genocide is fun and not depressing at all
I dont have a soul
Honestly
+THÁI ANH Maybe because she was onscreen for about 5 minutes and didn't give you enough time to forge an emotional connection at all?
+THÁI ANH no
Most depressing game but epic for me is The Cat Lady ;-;
I've never played Metal Gear Solid 4...but that ending ;_;
Decided to waste some time on my birthday watching you tube, and stumble on to this video only to get a happy birthday from you well that's just fun! Cause it is my birthday today!
naruto shippuden ultimate ninja storm 2...
when I finish the battle against Itachi, every single time, I end up bawling!!!
***** I cried then aswell!!
The Walking Dead: season one completely destroys Heavy Rain when it comes to depressing shit. Mainly due to the strong writing. Plus, it isn't unintentionally funny.. unless you count some of the odd glitches.
+Michael Pruette
Also doesn't have a lot of plot holes, I mean he called the police on himself? WHAT? Yeah, TWDS1 is tied for my favorite game of all time, man was it impressive then, still impressive now.
It also didn't didn't have me tieing my shoe laces together, for work and shit;
Michael Pruette
Or shaving for the sake of immersion. Or terrible voice acting.
Heavy Rain and Fahrenheit having choice? PFFFFFAAHAHAA
Actually, you are thinking of beyond 2 souls. Heavy rain had some heavy f!cking decisions.
T.B. Finnhaus
David Cage=Sadness
the most dramatic and realistic actor. he is a gift from the heavens
I was insulting him...
David Cage makes me sad because his works are utterly horrible.
These aren’t more depressing than the lives of Charlie Brown, anemome, and bad fanfic writers.
Caddy, I like you. Your a cool guy and are pretty funny. But for the love of GOD do not call Fahrenheit a great game! Its ok at the beginning but near the ending oh god the ending! The fights look the shit. The random sex scene at the end made no sense! The mechanics are... shit for lack of a better word. David Cage makes playable games, not the master pieces he thinks he makes.
Well, i'm not going to lie, i quite enjoy Quantic Dream's games. But i think this is the case where after a while i couldnt care less about what David Cage says. It's like whenever i read something from Lovecraft, i have to ignore all his background to actually enjoy his books. Problem is, while sometimes he appears to be a bit megalomaniac, Cage's points of view are by no means as harmful as Lovecraft's. I dont ignore his shortcomings, it's just they are not that important to me.
excuse my english.
He can call whatever game he want great. It's his opinion. Not everybody is going to agree with someone else. You are not wrong in *thinking* it's a bad game because it is *your opinion* and he is free to call whatever he wants to call great because it is *his opinion.*
Hay like mass affect 3 that game had a bad ending but it was a great game think about it. :)
Well Mass effect has a respectable plot.
Yea ok you win. :)
Most depressing series? Easy!
Dead Space.....watch the DLC ending to Dead Space 3 and tell me that isn't the most depressing shit in the history of ever.
>DLC
The walking dead game,or should I say,the walking feels? Anyone get the joke? Whateger
it wasn't a bad joke,it's okay...
still convinced the world ended in 2012
Spec Ops: The Line
I think Spec Ops: The Line is a lot more shocking and eye opening than depressing
crawlingninjabear The choices you have to make make you feel like shit.
ZobmieRules In a some way, do we really have any choises in that game?
Do we really have controll of Walker? Do the game decide for you? Is this living nightmare even real?
In the game, you're told "this is all your fault" and "you could stop any time". What they meant was that throughout the game, you have the choise to just stop playing.
This is the first game I've played that makes you do horrible things, then punish you for being a horrible person.
It's a right mindfuck, and the best use of ludonarrative dissonance I've ever played.
Make sure you check out a channel called "Extra Credit". They did an amazing job analysing it.
List of sad games
1: Last Of Us
2: Walking dead season 1 and 2
All I've got XD
