Ambi Guitiy Starkiller’s clone should’ve been an honorable mention instead of the original Starkiller in my opinion. I do kind of agree with the original being an honorable mention but the clone version should’ve been put in the honorable mention spot. I’m just glad he didn’t put Cortana’s sacrifice from Halo 4 on there

Only I think the death of Mordin Solus,the salarian,should have been in number 1?He dies,singing and saving the krogan from the genophage,making the player cry while he is singing..
Ikr right? I was in tears the whole scene, and after as well. When he started singing, as in a "thank you" note from Bioware for interacting with him as much as I did in ME 2 made me sob like a little baby. He should've easily gotten number 1 in this list and any other
You know Mordin's death is avoidable though you to import saves and have very high paragon amount so yeah kinda bull but if you can it saves you some though you lose thane no matter what
Lui Voltage The entire team sacrificed their life, if Jorge didnt died by saving 6, humanity would be destroyed. Each member make others member live.N1 ( i think) sacrificed himself for the team,Kat saved the whole team too(i think) Emile saved n6 's ass , he died at his place, he could have just tried to escape by pelican and let 6 shot with cannon. Entire team sacrificed for humanity, they had no chance to win the war,but they fought. If only one of em was not here , everyone would have died.
Legion's was pretty harsh, to, but Mordin's broke me, at least for that evening. And I never had the heart to take the renegade ending for that scene, even on a renegade run. Funny how attached you can get to what is, after all, simply an imaginary construct.
I remember what I said when mordin died. "Fuck you Mordin, fuck you Mordin." It hit me hard I love that crazy salarian. You can tell Mordin has been through a lot he just wanted to fix his biggest mistake.
Ah fuck me!! I didn't know he'd be here. I just started playing ME2 for the first time a few days ago and Mordin is now one of my favorites. Now I have to choose?! :(
MiyuChan Had to be him. Someone else might have gotten it wrong... Honourable mention for Legion as well. Mordin's death was invariably sadder, but Legion's was a close second.
Spoiler Alert! Technically Nightwolf does come back in Mortal Kombat X. So it would not count as a sacrifice as they said they can't come back in any shape or form.
I cried during Piers' sacrifice. He took a risk and injected himself with the C-Virus and basically turned himself into a J'avo to help Chris take down Haos and then knowing he was losing his humanity activated the escape pod to get Chris to safety and then prevented Haos from escaping at the cost of his own life. He died like a hero sacrificing himself to protect his superior officer along with ensuring that a deadly BOW doesn't get loose and wreak havoc on the world.
The Baby Metroid definitely deserved the top spot. Not only did its sacrifice save Samus it also gave her the most badass weapon in gaming history: the Hyper Beam.
I think I love the game series the best and Gears of War 3 is my favorite,is because I have never felt so attached to the characters and it made me felt what they were going through and Im almost 18
Legion's death from Mass Effect 3 definitely hit me the hardest, He was my #1 Robro and he died no matter what happens, You can't save him. it makes me sad to know that he died uplifting his people and saving the quarian and geth races. and mordin's was sad too.
Starkiller Studios the entire game (ME3) was an emotional roller coaster. The music perfectly fits the games gloomy atmosphere and it gives you a sense of lost hope.
Judge Dredd Ah yes, the infamous ending of ME3, the ending that made all the decisions we made throughout the series.....useless. The extended edition didnt help much either :/
To be honest, when thinking about it. I kinda liked it. the best part was: Garrus: ''Now, if only you can pacify the reapers, we'll make you a saint'' Shepard: ''hey, garrus? Watch this!'' *leaps into a giant ass lazor thingy, and gets his molecules spread all over the galaxy* .... Oh, the irony :D
Metroplex from Fall of Cybertron should’ve been an honorable mention. His sacrifice to save the autobots is one of the most emotional Transformers moments. Metroplex: “Optimus, take whatever spark that remains within me. Use it to guide your way across the stars.” Optimus Prime: “Metroplex my friend, you don’t have to do this. There’s no guarantee you even have enough energon to get us through the space bridge!” Metroplex: “This is my choice.”
Here's some other options instead of repeating the same games in every list... The Arisen - Dragons Dogma The Chosen Undead or Solaire of Astora - Dark Souls Wander - Shadow of the Colossus Whoever you choose to give the final hit to the Archdemon - Dragon age Origins Martin - TES IV Gray Fox - Metal Gear Solid Nariko - Heavenly Sword
Kito maru Right? the Arisen would've been a great choice for this list. As for Wander he did it for love and all those creatures were part of the same evil spirit anyway,
Solaire doesn't sacrifice himself. He goes insane while trying to find his very own sun due to the Sunlight Maggot and tries to kill you. There is no sacrifice in there.
Rak 'Thalamu Heretic I have the song that is used as background for that part it and when ever iTunes plays it I think of that scene :( . Gary Jules- Madworld
Every noble's death in Halo Reach had me in tears. It's truly heart-wrenching how a game can capture such valiant soldiers and simply throw them out the window. I was young when I first played the game and see all the characters I grew fond to die was too much for me. But nevertheless I still love the game.
Starkiller deserves a spot on this list not only did he single handedly almost defeat Darth Sidious after fighting Vader......but he did it all in the name of creating the rebel alliance
10# John Marston 9#Arthur Morgan 8#John Marston 7#Arthur Morgan 6#John Marston 5#Arthur Morgan 4#John Marston 3#Arthur Morgan 2#John Marston 1#Arthur Morgan
I think you forgot Cid's sacrifice in Final Fantasy IV, when he fall volontary on an ennemy flying ship with a bomb to allow Cecil's escape, the sacrifice of Porom and Palom in the same game, when they change themselves into statue tostop walls, and Grovyle's sacrifice in Pokemon mystery dungeon : sky explorers, when he's go back to the future with Dusknoir, helping to change the future even if he should desapear.
noble 6 on the 9th spot really hes the reason master chief is alive and you put a goddam flock of birds in front of him A FLOCK OF BIRDS AGAINST NOBLE 6
"In front" of him? Honorable mentions are literally lower than anything in a top 10/20/... They aren't even in 10th place. The definition of honorable mention is "a distinction conferred (as in a contest or exhibition) on works or people of exceptional merit but not deserving of top honors". And pretty sure the Angry Birds bit was there as a humorous bit to soften all the sadness of the sacrifices, they're not supposed to be taken seriously, even though they technically count as sacrifices.
I'm so glad The Boss made it on this list. Her sacrifices were immeasurable, all for a selfish and corrupt organization and country that didn't think twice about demonizing her. "Don't change the world, but leave it just the way it is." R.I.P. The Joy
+BardockSSJL I did cry. Dom was my favourite character and that moment was heavy man. Not just the death itself but Marcus' reaction and him helplessly trying to save his best friend....
I agree. I thought it was a very good ending, and do not see the problem people seem to have with it. They claimed it was the end of Shepard's story, and so they ended it. People really need to get over themselves. Lol.
It just annoys me that when you picked to kill off all the AIs or the red choice i think, that in the end it shows you alive like they are going to keep going.
people were mad because in the first two your choices throughout the game effected the next one with whole different endings, while in the third one your choices would make no difference and be basically the the same thing
It's because all of the choices you made through the entire trilogy are moot. They're not reflected at all. You get three choices that are essentially the same and none of your choices matter at all.
What the fuck how is dom only 7th his death brought a tear to most of our eyes he was a hero who lost so much and gained so little after the death of Maria he went into a Great Depression and sacrificed his life for delta he should be number 1! WHOS WITH ME ON THIS?!?
Zack Fair from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy? He faces an entire army to defend his bestfriend, after being in a coma for several years, with his girlfriend patiently waiting for him to return.
YES. I kept waiting for it to pop up, but it never did. I expected him to make this list, that entire game had me in tears but Zack's death was the worst. "Would you say I became a hero?" Ugh. Getting chills just thinking about it.
+Rene Martinez Zero single handily ended a war that had been raging for the past 200 years or so. (The war was where Reploids lead by Copy X were killing every human they could find. Even after Copy X died, there were still places that tried to kill the remainders of humanity. In Z4, he saves the last human settlement from destruction, and yet there's only maybe a few hundred people left.) In the process he had to find out that he was nothing more than a copy of the Original Zero. It's why he didn't have that many memories when Ciel awoke him in z1. Granted, I haven't played any Gears of War game. Would you mind enlightening me as to what Dom's sacrifice caused? Not knowing the full story, I was somewhat confused when that guy stabbed that person.
Dominic is #7? Wtf. I hadn't cried in over 7 years. 7 FUCKING YEARS, and his death literally made me sob and stream tears down my face. That mother fucker exploded himself while the games theme song was playing, I'm getting choked up just typing this. For the rest of the game I played it in anger as I killed every last one of those bastard enemies. Edit: Also why isn't Jorge in here from Halo Reach? He blew himself up because of the thought that he was killing all of the Covenant yet he only blew up one of their ships. He's the one who should actually be first. Just imagine, you explode yourself, disintegrate yourself thinking you've just saved the human race from extinction not knowing that it was only one of the thousands of ships they have. You're to bias towards Japanese games, even John Marston could have been first.
CrimsonSkyz no but you're clearly Dom's favorite fan LOL. I bet you touch yourself every night while thinking of Dom and Marcus you fucking fruit ahahaha
it is honorful to make such a long honorable mentions than on any other vid., ofcourse we talk about a sacrifice this makes it even more heartbreaking.
+Patrick Chaanin its different for everyone depending on how much they cared for the game. i liked gears a lot, but i loved mass effect, and i think mordin should have been higher, but watchmojo tries to be as unbiased as they can
Kenny gets an honorable mention but not LEE?! Seriously?! That videogame death brought tears to my eyes, which is a rare occurrence for me. Seriously though, he knew he was going to turn and had to have the girl who became his daughter shoot him. Hell, he even coached her how to do it. Though I guess it is debatable because you could just have her leave you there.
It's an amazing death scene, but I don't think it is really a sacrifice. Lee was going to turn from the bite that wasn't his fault and having Clem kill him is more of an act of mercy than a sacrifice.
One of the best games I've ever played but Lee shouldn't be on this list. He didn't sacrifice himself. He was already dead once he got bit. I wouldn't consider Kenny's sacrifice worthy of even an honorable mention either.... I think Ben deserves it more (that is, if you decided to let him go).
Very true... I kinda realized that at the end of my rant. I think I was just kinda angry because I was never a fan of Kenny during any of my playthroughs.
Cole in Infamous 2. The good ending counts as official lore since Second Son goes by him sacrificing himself to save the human race, while killing the Conduits.
***** Yeah for sure. Like honestly as dumb as it sounds it made a whole new passion to the game. Like before I was just killing Locust for fun, then after his death I felt like I was in the game fighting for him lol
Especially because Dom was there with you for 3 games while most of the games mentioned were a one time appearance. The player grew fond of him. He was there with you all the time. He should of been in the top 3 at least.
I can't believe that InFamous 2 was not on there? It was amazing, Cole sacrificed himself and all other conduits to cure the world plague that Kessler had caused by the Ray Sphere in Empire City from InFamous 1! I mean, I know that sounds awfully confusing, but if you play the game through in the HERO Karma mode you will see that this is one of the most heroic and saddest endings to a game I have ever seen.
bruh how is Dom not number 1? he lost his kids and then his wife was tortured and he had to put her down and then he dies to the saddest music possible just to save the others... also Marcus then names his son James Dominic Fenix in honor of Dom, how does that not pull on your heartstrings?
Because when you're comparing that to a woman who sacrificed her historical reputation as well as her life to prevent a war that could potentially wipe out humanity and what essentially amounts to a child sacrificing itself so it's maternal figure can save the galaxy, regular old sacrifice to save others isn't that much in comparison.
Noble 6 did the same. if he didn't whole human race is finished as well as the galaxy and universe because if he didn't then covies activate the ring killing us all or more worse the flood will took it over. He saves the chief and chief saves all.
+Abhineet Soren but Shepard saved the Humans Turians Rachni Quarians/geth the kroaggan the salaries the Asari an ardat yashi possibly, and countless more
+Cybertronian Alicorn but mass effect 3 has different endings. in first if he chooses to send reapers back he has to touch the control of crucible which eventually he die In second if he chooses to destroy then he has to shoot the cannon which reapers will die. Eventually after the game you see shepard hand moving and trying to get out from the derbis which means he is alive. That's why Shepard didn't count in sacrifice
A little? When Dom plowed into the gas station while I was playing I actually burst into tears lol. But it makes you feel SOOOOOOOO fucking good when you stab the locust queen with doms knife at the end and Marcus says: "Feel that? That's from Dom and all the others that you killed, you bitch" which is, so far, the most badass quote from one of the most badass characters in video games (for me) :D
Spencer Fleming LOL- ya, I know, but it was becuase my emotional side had been scared long since before it. I still am saddened by Dom, but I've lost my tears years before.
Lucas Vasquez yo, I'm defending Spencer Fleming Lucas, I don't want to catch you yelling at him for his opinion, That's his freedom and his alone. Who cares if you hate the game then, or dom. We were just merely talking our minds.
I never died at the end of Halo Reach. I keep putting down bubbles and using energy swords to kill any one who came in my domain... and they would often bring even more energy swords.
I would have loved to see Kessler or Cole from Infamous make it onto the list. Kessler for the motivations behind his deeds which made his choices all the more hard hitting. And for the good ending of Infamous 2 where Cole gives his life to save the world. Or Zeke for his sacrifice in the evil ending, even though it was in vain.
Cortana. Halo 4. She Chose to go out (i am paraphrasing here) "with a bang". She may have saved the earth, but thats not why she did it. She did it for him. that's it.
i know. much as i loved taking on the role of noble 6 as one of the more tactical based Spartan-III's, the deep rooted connection i feel to cortana will always be first for me. she was always my anchor in the games. What kept me calm and focused. She made the story for me.
+Ian Reid This list came out before season 2 was out. Also season 2 is technically a sequel, so in either case Kenny qualifies. I suggest you listen again when they lay out the rules for qualifying for this list. They allow characters who die and are then brought back in a seuel, they simply can't come back in the same game (meaning someone like Crono from Chrono Trigger wouldn't be eligible)
Nesto Navalo **facepalm** Do you have the attention span of a goldfish or something? Were you not paying attention to *anything* I said? *This list was made before The Walking Dead Season 2 was even out*! They *couldn't* put Lee's death because it *hadn't happened yet*!
I would've put that pretty high on here. I have a soft spot for free roam protagonists. So much more room to 'become' the character, and so their deaths (to me) are way more meaningful. Cole Phelps should've at least been mentioned.
bberg21 All the things he had done was heroic, but his death doesn't really count as one since you do have the option of leaving him there. The death was something that couldn't really be avoided, so it's more forced upon. But I'm not saying the things he done wasn't heroic, just his death wasn't something most people would call heroic.
Nostalgia. Back in the 8 bit era, people didn't consider games to be anything but mindless fun. They first felt "aw, the baby metroid is following me." So when it died to save you in a desperate and difficult final battle, people felt like they had actually lost someone... in a video game. You could say the baby metroid died to prove to humans that games could have an artistic as well and an entertainment value - the noblest of sacrifices, in truth.
jeramahia123 I don't disagree with you that it was touching. In fact I think it was a very nice scene, but I don't think it holds up as well as many of the other entries.
florian pluvier It being one of the first holds ground but not enough for number one. A pet saving it's care-taker, sacrificing itself IS touching, don't get me wrong, but I just don't see it as touching as a man who spends the entire game protecting a little girl die before her eyes, spending all his last moments saving her life and giving one last bit of advice.
TGGS Paradoxly I would like to say, bullshit. At age 5 you already have the empathy to realize and cry for what happened? Or maybe you're just a little bitch, crying for something like that for a week.
Mordin's death is one of the many things that made me wanna cry in ME3
Mass effect will always be my favorite game series but mainly 1-3
Like Thane death...
Or Anderson
I agree
what is your opinion about Shapard sacrifice if you choose green ending
Dom and Noble 6 should be much higher. And Starkiller should NOT be an honorable mention, his sacrifice was magnificent.
not only that you had an option that you died either way, but come back both times. One as a sith, and another as a clone.
Spartans never die their just missing in action
Ambi Guitiy Starkiller’s clone should’ve been an honorable mention instead of the original Starkiller in my opinion. I do kind of agree with the original being an honorable mention but the clone version should’ve been put in the honorable mention spot. I’m just glad he didn’t put Cortana’s sacrifice from Halo 4 on there
Ambi Guitiy without Galen Marek there would have been no rebel alliance.
@@90maducc that's right. Both he and the clone are both honorable heroic sacrifices.

An end once and for all will always make you teary-eyed

Dom #1 Mordin #2
Thanes death is kinda tied for me with Mordin, but since Mordin saved an entire species I get why his would be on here over Thanes.
You know Mordin's death is avoidable though you to import saves and have very high paragon amount so yeah kinda bull but if you can it saves you some though you lose thane no matter what

i hate how these ppl put games that came out 1000 years ago and no one remembers, stupid really
Noble Six is hands down the most heroic death
He saved humanity and sacrificed himself

Each member make others member live.N1 ( i think) sacrificed himself for the team,Kat saved the whole team too(i think) Emile saved n6 's ass , he died at his place, he could have just tried to escape by pelican and let 6 shot with cannon.

Funny how attached you can get to what is, after all, simply an imaginary construct.

Honorable Mentions:
Nightwolf: Mortal Kombat 9
Desmond Miles: Assassin's Creed 3
Martin Septim: The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
Spoiler Alert!
Technically Nightwolf does come back in Mortal Kombat X. So it would not count as a sacrifice as they said they can't come back in any shape or form.
I think Martin should at least be 3

Endings where the lead dies are the best ,like Red Dead Redemption and Halo Reach, #2 mgs is best game ending ever
Using the Mass Effect music for the honorable mentions... oh man...
+Kris Doyle ikr
You missed ...pier's sacrifice( Resident evil 6), Sandman & his group's sacrifice(COD MW3)
I cried during Piers' sacrifice. He took a risk and injected himself with the C-Virus and basically turned himself into a J'avo to help Chris take down Haos and then knowing he was losing his humanity activated the escape pod to get Chris to safety and then prevented Haos from escaping at the cost of his own life. He died like a hero sacrificing himself to protect his superior officer along with ensuring that a deadly BOW doesn't get loose and wreak havoc on the world.
Fuck cod.
Tax tic why fuck cod? Cod is shittier now a days but Mw series, world at war are the most iconic games ever. Have you ever played them?
Sandman and the other Delta’s sacrifice was heartbreaking
I was expecting that in this list
The Baby Metroid definitely deserved the top spot. Not only did its sacrifice save Samus it also gave her the most badass weapon in gaming history: the Hyper Beam.
Gears of War 3 best game i've ever played
AW Dom dies i realy cryed becaus it was my realy First game and i playd it so Long that das was so as a Familie mamber dies
that's cool bro don't worry I cried when son died too :)
same
Whaaat? How old are you, if you dont mind me asking?
I think I love the game series the best and Gears of War 3 is my favorite,is because I have never felt so attached to the characters and it made me felt what they were going through and Im almost 18
Legion's death from Mass Effect 3 definitely hit me the hardest, He was my #1 Robro and he died no matter what happens, You can't save him. it makes me sad to know that he died uplifting his people and saving the quarian and geth races. and mordin's was sad too.
DOESNT MASS EFFECT SERIES HAVE THE SADDEST SOUNDTRACK?
Starkiller Studios the entire game (ME3) was an emotional roller coaster. The music perfectly fits the games gloomy atmosphere and it gives you a sense of lost hope.
Thilina Bulathsinghala YEAH F*CK THE ENDING!
Judge Dredd Ah yes, the infamous ending of ME3, the ending that made all the decisions we made throughout the series.....useless. The extended edition didnt help much either :/
Thilina Bulathsinghala Some website made a great mod for it, but the quality of it was just laughauble.
To be honest, when thinking about it. I kinda liked it.
the best part was:
Garrus: ''Now, if only you can pacify the reapers, we'll make you a saint''
Shepard: ''hey, garrus? Watch this!'' *leaps into a giant ass lazor thingy, and gets his molecules spread all over the galaxy*
.... Oh, the irony :D
Metroplex from Fall of Cybertron should’ve been an honorable mention. His sacrifice to save the autobots is one of the most emotional Transformers moments.
Metroplex: “Optimus, take whatever spark that remains within me. Use it to guide your way across the stars.”
Optimus Prime: “Metroplex my friend, you don’t have to do this. There’s no guarantee you even have enough energon to get us through the space bridge!”
Metroplex: “This is my choice.”
I think Desmond Miles has earned a place in this list.
I agree
Here's some other options instead of repeating the same games in every list...
The Arisen - Dragons Dogma
The Chosen Undead or Solaire of Astora - Dark Souls
Wander - Shadow of the Colossus
Whoever you choose to give the final hit to the Archdemon - Dragon age Origins
Martin - TES IV
Gray Fox - Metal Gear Solid
Nariko - Heavenly Sword
I agree with all of those especially the Arisen but wander was just murdering.
Kito maru Right? the Arisen would've been a great choice for this list. As for Wander he did it for love and all those creatures were part of the same evil spirit anyway,
Bluer Sora Fair enough im just said the Arisen didn't get on :(
Kito maru
Yeah me to, its a strange story but i like it alot! ^-^
Solaire doesn't sacrifice himself. He goes insane while trying to find his very own sun due to the Sunlight Maggot and tries to kill you. There is no sacrifice in there.

Why was halo reach 9th
He should've made an exception and put the entire Noble Team as #1
Dom should of been much higher
Zander fr
Zander that was the only time i ever cried in a videogame
R.I.P DOMINIC!
That By Far was my saddest death in all gaming, because he was my favorite character! and that music! :(
Rak 'Thalamu Heretic I have the song that is used as background for that part it and when ever iTunes plays it I think of that scene :( . Gary Jules- Madworld
I know, I have it also, lol
Rak 'Thalamu Heretic to me Maria's death was sad but idk witch is more sad.
eh? I didn't real have much of a connection like most gamers do to her as much as I did to dom dom was my favorite character since day 1 of GOW
R.I.P Desmond Miles (1987-2012).
And good riddance!
Mike Mann mi respect
i know that rdr2 came out after this, but arthur's sacrifice for john legitimately made me cry
Epic kudos to WatchMojo for mentioning Angry Birds in the video. "Entire flock"? I nearly died laughing.
Every noble's death in Halo Reach had me in tears. It's truly heart-wrenching how a game can capture such valiant soldiers and simply throw them out the window. I was young when I first played the game and see all the characters I grew fond to die was too much for me. But nevertheless I still love the game.
Starkiller deserves a spot on this list not only did he single handedly almost defeat Darth Sidious after fighting Vader......but he did it all in the name of creating the rebel alliance

@@The-Big-BossTo newbie who never done played the first one first or at all and none-gamer who only played the prequel for it's fucking HYPE!
I think you forgot Cid's sacrifice in Final Fantasy IV, when he fall volontary on an ennemy flying ship with a bomb to allow Cecil's escape, the sacrifice of Porom and Palom in the same game, when they change themselves into statue tostop walls, and Grovyle's sacrifice in Pokemon mystery dungeon : sky explorers, when he's go back to the future with Dusknoir, helping to change the future even if he should desapear.
Dude, Cid Porom and Paloms sacrifice were epic. I was scrolling through to find someone who would recognize it
*Sees Noble 6 in video*
*Immediately likes*
noble 6 on the 9th spot really hes the reason master chief is alive and you put a goddam flock of birds in front of him A FLOCK OF BIRDS AGAINST NOBLE 6
I don't even think angry birds should be on this. It's not emotional it isn't heroic like Mordin and Noble 6.
SHOGUN 363 the angry birds didn't die everyone knows that.right?
Diamonds And steel i do but i think this guys think they died
"In front" of him? Honorable mentions are literally lower than anything in a top 10/20/... They aren't even in 10th place.
The definition of honorable mention is "a distinction conferred (as in a contest or exhibition) on works or people of exceptional merit but not deserving of top honors".
And pretty sure the Angry Birds bit was there as a humorous bit to soften all the sadness of the sacrifices, they're not supposed to be taken seriously, even though they technically count as sacrifices.
Yes they put halo I was gonna rage of they didn't to reach but wtf is up with the ranking
Noble 6 was heroic and all but I would have said Jorge's was more so.
STV 003 but he died for nothing, which is the saddest part about his death
Sickening Silence hey not worse than kat. She just dies LOL
Well he didnt exactly save all of humanity.
Well he took out a CSO carrier that’s a 3 0km long ship.
Cortana from Halo 4 should have definitely been there, higher up and in place of the other halo sacrifice
Dom on 7 reallly? its the only one that deserves the topspot
Dantioch umm noble six?
Dantioch Mordin dude if you played ME2 you would agree unless you are a heartless guy
Dantioch john marston is 1
doms death made me cry and no game has ever made me cry
Same here man
how old are you?
im 10
XD
not bad not bad
I'm so glad The Boss made it on this list. Her sacrifices were immeasurable, all for a selfish and corrupt organization and country that didn't think twice about demonizing her. "Don't change the world, but leave it just the way it is." R.I.P. The Joy
I almost cried with Dom's sacrifice.
+BardockSSJL Yeah, Dom should have been first
+Trial Vermin I agree
I'm not afraid to say I did he was like Marcus's little brother
+BardockSSJL Not even a Gears fanboy and I cried my eyes out
+BardockSSJL I did cry. Dom was my favourite character and that moment was heavy man. Not just the death itself but Marcus' reaction and him helplessly trying to save his best friend....
mordin at #5? that shit had me sobbing
Teu pai Dom and Mordin should top the list those were depressing and very heroic
That Red Dead Redemption ending got me :'(
It has now been 10 years since this video has been uploaded on the channel!
Why did everyone hate the ME3 ending? I loved getting to do the heroic sacrifice and save the universe.
I agree. I thought it was a very good ending, and do not see the problem people seem to have with it. They claimed it was the end of Shepard's story, and so they ended it. People really need to get over themselves. Lol.
It just annoys me that when you picked to kill off all the AIs or the red choice i think, that in the end it shows you alive like they are going to keep going.
people were mad because in the first two your choices throughout the game effected the next one with whole different endings, while in the third one your choices would make no difference and be basically the the same thing
It's because all of the choices you made through the entire trilogy are moot. They're not reflected at all. You get three choices that are essentially the same and none of your choices matter at all.
I only played mass effect a few months ago, and I thought the ending was great, however it turns out my Shepard lived
Mordin's death still gets me right in the feels. But it had to be him, someone else might of gotten it wrong....
What the fuck how is dom only 7th his death brought a tear to most of our eyes he was a hero who lost so much and gained so little after the death of Maria he went into a Great Depression and sacrificed his life for delta he should be number 1! WHOS WITH ME ON THIS?!?
Foggzilla Jr Noble 6 for me would be first
Noble six team made me ball my eyes out
Dude cmon wtf Dom and Noble 6 should've been higher!!!
Don't be demanding :), They won't edit everything in the video.
Stryder Absolutely right dude
Agree
besides, kenny never died.
Stryder yeah! noble 6 died to save a whole army and he didnt even fully meet cortana!
All the comments are people raging cause Dom ain't first
I'm raging because baby metroid SHOULDNT BE FIRST
Im raging because cortana isnt even in honorable mentions
Exist HE DESERVES IT
I’m raging because the flock wasn’t first
Cortana never died. From my understanding it just looked like she did. Hence why she’s the villain in 5
No, Jorge's death in Halo Reach was a bigger sacrifice in my opinion
that was the first time i saw onyone dying in a videogame, so i was like " ohh shit there must be other way"
the whole noble team should be there imo
one of the most memorable and touching sacrifices on the franchise
+Joshua W. Yes it was a huge sacrifice but it turned out to be in vane.
his sacrifice did nothing
Alex A Well it did kill thousands possibly millions of Covenant
I cannot get over and never will get over John Marston’s death in RDR. He was a good man and did not deserve what was coming to him
Zack Fair from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy? He faces an entire army to defend his bestfriend, after being in a coma for several years, with his girlfriend patiently waiting for him to return.
YES. I kept waiting for it to pop up, but it never did. I expected him to make this list, that entire game had me in tears but Zack's death was the worst. "Would you say I became a hero?" Ugh. Getting chills just thinking about it.
AGREED IN FULL
Exactly. Such underated game. First time i shed tears for a game character. :(
no doubt about that.. i cried while holding my psp at his last memory of Aeris.
Agreed with this one.. Both Tidus and Zack's death made my cry..
Dom takes the cake for the most heroic sacrifice in my opinion
Ikr, they put megaman zero in front??? 3good5megaman
+Rene Martinez Zero single handily ended a war that had been raging for the past 200 years or so. (The war was where Reploids lead by Copy X were killing every human they could find. Even after Copy X died, there were still places that tried to kill the remainders of humanity. In Z4, he saves the last human settlement from destruction, and yet there's only maybe a few hundred people left.) In the process he had to find out that he was nothing more than a copy of the Original Zero. It's why he didn't have that many memories when Ciel awoke him in z1.
Granted, I haven't played any Gears of War game. Would you mind enlightening me as to what Dom's sacrifice caused? Not knowing the full story, I was somewhat confused when that guy stabbed that person.
yes he should've been #1 on the heroic sacrifices. if you were a huge gears of War fan like me this was really heartbreaking to take in.
***** What people consider sad is entirely subjective though. I found Zero's death sad, you didn't. Oh well.
***** I never said it wasn't. I was just talking about Zero since it was the entry on this list.
Dominic is #7? Wtf. I hadn't cried in over 7 years. 7 FUCKING YEARS, and his death literally made me sob and stream tears down my face. That mother fucker exploded himself while the games theme song was playing, I'm getting choked up just typing this. For the rest of the game I played it in anger as I killed every last one of those bastard enemies.
Edit: Also why isn't Jorge in here from Halo Reach? He blew himself up because of the thought that he was killing all of the Covenant yet he only blew up one of their ships. He's the one who should actually be first. Just imagine, you explode yourself, disintegrate yourself thinking you've just saved the human race from extinction not knowing that it was only one of the thousands of ships they have. You're to bias towards Japanese games, even John Marston could have been first.
Dude that's fucked up
Orlando Blacksmith Lol let me guess you're CoD fan right?
STILL SWEETY You're a CoD fan too?
CrimsonSkyz no but you're clearly Dom's favorite fan LOL. I bet you touch yourself every night while thinking of Dom and Marcus you fucking fruit ahahaha
CrimsonSkyz You and your friends are all gay as fuck for crying over the death of a FICTIONAL character. Plus you listen to dubstep. What are you? 14?
it is honorful to make such a long honorable mentions than on any other vid., ofcourse we talk about a sacrifice this makes it even more heartbreaking.
Dom definitely should have been #1.... The scene got me so hard in the feels.
+Patrick Chaanin its different for everyone depending on how much they cared for the game. i liked gears a lot, but i loved mass effect, and i think mordin should have been higher, but watchmojo tries to be as unbiased as they can
+Patrick Chaanin fr
yeah
brothers to the end
any of those should have been 1 over metroid
Kenny gets an honorable mention but not LEE?!
Seriously?! That videogame death brought tears to my eyes, which is a rare occurrence for me. Seriously though, he knew he was going to turn and had to have the girl who became his daughter shoot him. Hell, he even coached her how to do it. Though I guess it is debatable because you could just have her leave you there.
It's an amazing death scene, but I don't think it is really a sacrifice. Lee was going to turn from the bite that wasn't his fault and having Clem kill him is more of an act of mercy than a sacrifice.
One of the best games I've ever played but Lee shouldn't be on this list. He didn't sacrifice himself. He was already dead once he got bit. I wouldn't consider Kenny's sacrifice worthy of even an honorable mention either.... I think Ben deserves it more (that is, if you decided to let him go).
Very true... I kinda realized that at the end of my rant. I think I was just kinda angry because I was never a fan of Kenny during any of my playthroughs.
Besides (SPOILER!!) Kenny is in season 2, alive.
i just finished mass effect trilogy and i dont know what to do with my life now
play gears of war from 1 to 4
it'll be the time of ur life
SHWETA SHARMA don't forget judgement day too that has a short story line stick to 1-4
Kakashi Hatake actually do forget
Kakashi Hatake that was a disgrace
I'm going to start that pretty soon.
Six and Dom not even in the top five? This is blasphemy!
Cole in Infamous 2. The good ending counts as official lore since Second Son goes by him sacrificing himself to save the human race, while killing the Conduits.
Yes
Then how are there still conduits in Second Son?
I have no idea, I haven't played it yet.
TheGeoshark
It killed most, a few survived
No if i remember correctly Delsin and the rest of the conduits are actualy a new gene of conduits
Doms death from gears of war 3 should have been number 1!! That one mission in mercy gave me the feels and almost made me cry ;~;
Bruh. He sacrificed himself for the rest of the team so he could be with Maria. I cried so hard when that happened. ;0;
I should of cried!! T~T
_You really should have._ X
i cried so much i made a altar to him and maria
Too bad the sacrifice makes no sense
couldn't they have just
i don't know
use a a rocket launcher? or a grenade?
Dom in Gears 3 should be higher. Anyone who's played the series knows the impact of that moment.
***** Yeah for sure. Like honestly as dumb as it sounds it made a whole new passion to the game. Like before I was just killing Locust for fun, then after his death I felt like I was in the game fighting for him lol
Especially because Dom was there with you for 3 games while most of the games mentioned were a one time appearance. The player grew fond of him. He was there with you all the time. He should of been in the top 3 at least.
Remember reach
Noble 6 should have been first for saving humanity and delivering cortona to the pillar of autumn
Kenny no longer counts since he lived.
***** I know I am saying this as of now.
BaconBurgersPlayGames Technically it still counts according to their parameters.
+BaconBurgersPlayGames Technically he actually died, and then they updated the game to remove his scream before Season 2 indicating so.
He does. If it weren't for him a LOT of people would be dead
I can't believe that InFamous 2 was not on there? It was amazing, Cole sacrificed himself and all other conduits to cure the world plague that Kessler had caused by the Ray Sphere in Empire City from InFamous 1! I mean, I know that sounds awfully confusing, but if you play the game through in the HERO Karma mode you will see that this is one of the most heroic and saddest endings to a game I have ever seen.
Word, infamous 2's sacrifice was pretty sad.
+thesuperwits12 i knwo right?
IKR
bruh how is Dom not number 1? he lost his kids and then his wife was tortured and he had to put her down and then he dies to the saddest music possible just to save the others... also Marcus then names his son James Dominic Fenix in honor of Dom, how does that not pull on your heartstrings?
Because they are soulless creatures and don't know what true sadness is
well almost same with zero he lost his best friend X his girlfriend iris and his own original body
Because when you're comparing that to a woman who sacrificed her historical reputation as well as her life to prevent a war that could potentially wipe out humanity and what essentially amounts to a child sacrificing itself so it's maternal figure can save the galaxy, regular old sacrifice to save others isn't that much in comparison.
He also sacrificed himself to make peace btween humans and androids
4:46...damn i cried like baby 😢😢
I couldn't stop thinking about Cole MacGrath from infamous... When he died I cried like a fucking infant...
Its okay bruh, I was the same. Plus, when his gf dies (inFAMOUS 1, good karma), that was so sad...
Aristotle Pone Pule wow cant believe i forgot about trish...
Sayeth whaaaaaa...?
Aristotle Pone Pule cole's girlfriend was named trish? its been a long ass time scincve i played the first one.
cant believe people still cry when video games characters die
Shepard sacrifices himself/herself to save the entire galaxy!
Noble 6 did the same.
if he didn't whole human race is finished as well as the galaxy and universe because if he didn't then covies activate the ring killing us all or more worse the flood will took it over. He saves the chief and chief saves all.
+Abhineet Soren but Shepard saved the Humans Turians Rachni Quarians/geth the kroaggan the salaries the Asari an ardat yashi possibly, and countless more
+Cybertronian Alicorn Master chief prevented galactic genocide twice.
+Cybertronian Alicorn but mass effect 3 has different endings.
in first if he chooses to send reapers back he has to touch the control of crucible which eventually he die
In second if he chooses to destroy then he has to shoot the cannon which reapers will die. Eventually after the game you see shepard hand moving and trying to get out from the derbis which means he is alive.
That's why Shepard didn't count in sacrifice
Abhineet Soren that is a """""""secret"""""""" ending
in gears of war 3, Dom made my cry a little
A little? When Dom plowed into the gas station while I was playing I actually burst into tears lol.
But it makes you feel SOOOOOOOO fucking good when you stab the locust queen with doms knife at the end and Marcus says:
"Feel that? That's from Dom and all the others that you killed, you bitch" which is, so far, the most badass quote from one of the most badass characters in video games (for me) :D
Spencer Fleming well ya, the tears came, but I quickly regained myself. I think Dom should have lived
Spencer Fleming LOL- ya, I know, but it was becuase my emotional side had been scared long since before it. I still am saddened by Dom, but I've lost my tears years before.
Spencer Fleming fuck you your crying over a video game you might be sad about it but you don't have to scream at other peope fuck you and fuck dom
Lucas Vasquez yo, I'm defending Spencer Fleming Lucas, I don't want to catch you yelling at him for his opinion, That's his freedom and his alone. Who cares if you hate the game then, or dom. We were just merely talking our minds.
I never died at the end of Halo Reach. I keep putting down bubbles and using energy swords to kill any one who came in my domain... and they would often bring even more energy swords.
I would have loved to see Kessler or Cole from Infamous make it onto the list. Kessler for the motivations behind his deeds which made his choices all the more hard hitting. And for the good ending of Infamous 2 where Cole gives his life to save the world. Or Zeke for his sacrifice in the evil ending, even though it was in vain.
Cortana. Halo 4. She Chose to go out (i am paraphrasing here) "with a bang". She may have saved the earth, but thats not why she did it. She did it for him. that's it.
I thought she should be on the list too, but Noble 6 from Halo Reach is here and they said only 1 entry per franchise :(
i know. much as i loved taking on the role of noble 6 as one of the more tactical based Spartan-III's, the deep rooted connection i feel to cortana will always be first for me. she was always my anchor in the games. What kept me calm and focused. She made the story for me.
Cortana could be making a return though.
i hope so.
***** I don't think she'll come back, its possible though
Kenny comes back in the walking dead 2
+Ian Reid
This list came out before season 2 was out. Also season 2 is technically a sequel, so in either case Kenny qualifies. I suggest you listen again when they lay out the rules for qualifying for this list. They allow characters who die and are then brought back in a seuel, they simply can't come back in the same game (meaning someone like Crono from Chrono Trigger wouldn't be eligible)
Yeah true so he does not count in this list but you can him in
+gamester512 Even if Kenny didn't come back, in season 2, Lee's sacrifice to save Clementine was way more emotional.
Nesto Navalo
**facepalm** Do you have the attention span of a goldfish or something? Were you not paying attention to *anything* I said? *This list was made before The Walking Dead Season 2 was even out*! They *couldn't* put Lee's death because it *hadn't happened yet*!
You're gonna be red in the face when you check back on that episode where Kenny supposedly died in season 1 when Lee dies at the end of the episode..
R.I.P
Bill...
"Their all safe now... My job is done.." *Dies*
How about Cole Phelps in LA Noire?
I would've put that pretty high on here. I have a soft spot for free roam protagonists. So much more room to 'become' the character, and so their deaths (to me) are way more meaningful. Cole Phelps should've at least been mentioned.
I exactly thought the same after seeing this video! Why is not Cole in this? (Sorry about my english)
You put Kenny............BUT NOT LEE!?
It was heroic death.
Lee's death wasn't heroic, more like, just a character death.
Watch the other list for character deaths.
SilverflameYoshi83 getting bitten, travelling all over Savannah to find Clementine, then die after saving her wasn't heroic?
bberg21 All the things he had done was heroic, but his death doesn't really count as one since you do have the option of leaving him there. The death was something that couldn't really be avoided, so it's more forced upon. But I'm not saying the things he done wasn't heroic, just his death wasn't something most people would call heroic.
SilverflameYoshi83 its even more heroic if she leaves him because he puts her safety first and is willing to become a walker to keep her safe
Kenny didn't technically die during that sacrafice
the angry birds as an honourable mention!? XD
exactly
i actually laughed when i saw that xD
IT'S A FUCKNG MOBILE GAME FOR GOD'S (FUCK'S) SAKE!!
It was at this point Mojo lost me.
Liam Meijles
at 5:52 no matter how many times I play the game that scene always makes me cry
The baby... metroid
Most infamous... sacrifice...
Since
When
>__
Nostalgia. Back in the 8 bit era, people didn't consider games to be anything but mindless fun. They first felt "aw, the baby metroid is following me." So when it died to save you in a desperate and difficult final battle, people felt like they had actually lost someone... in a video game. You could say the baby metroid died to prove to humans that games could have an artistic as well and an entertainment value - the noblest of sacrifices, in truth.
jeramahia123 I don't disagree with you that it was touching. In fact I think it was a very nice scene, but I don't think it holds up as well as many of the other entries.
it is the impact it had then, now almost every game tries to be as dramatic as possible. but metroid was one of the first to actually do such a thing.
florian pluvier It being one of the first holds ground but not enough for number one.
A pet saving it's care-taker, sacrificing itself IS touching, don't get me wrong, but I just don't see it as touching as a man who spends the entire game protecting a little girl die before her eyes, spending all his last moments saving her life and giving one last bit of advice.
Nobody notices that the Angry Birds have one of the most heroic sacrifices in gaming
i got that xD
Number 1 had no feels to it whatsoever.
TGGS Paradoxly I would like to say, bullshit. At age 5 you already have the empathy to realize and cry for what happened? Or maybe you're just a little bitch, crying for something like that for a week.
Jay Wizzle Fair enough. Come sir, We must duel.
TGGS Paradoxly K
Jay Wizzle *Slap*
***** Very.
Either dom santiago or noble six shoulda been first
Hahahahaha no
That's my freakin boy right there totally agree
