Fun fact about Sarah’s death in TLOU, Troy Baker actually said that scene broke him and even after trying to gather himself he still broke down and even now he either struggles or cannot watch that scene.
@@kanick1983well if you watch the BTS of TLOU1 even Neil says they had to do the scenes many times and also when Troy tought they finaly got the scene right Neil called him after a week to do it again, It's a hard scene doing it for many times can get to you in a way.
Uncle Ben died because Peter was selfish. However Aunt May died because Peter was selfless. Very clever storytelling and character development from the devs 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It gets better when you look at what happened beforehand. When he looks like he is about to give her the cure, _his face is framed in shadow and you don't see his face in the light until he stops himself._
There’s a conversation Arthur can have with Hosea and some other gang members in Red Dead 2 where they ask each other how they want to die, where he says this. “Face me to the west so I can watch the setting sun, and remember all the fine times we had that way.” Instead, he dies facing east on the rising sun, it’s not the end of Arthur’s life where the sun sets him into darkness, it’s the beginning of John’s life who he saved, bringing Arthur to the light.
Another thing about Reggie's death that wasnt mentioned is that in the game's good karma ending, Delsin spraypaints a memorial of his brother. On the same billboard he'd vandalized in the beginning(which had a picture of his brother)
I like the good Karmas out of infamous anyway their more melancholy but good in the scheme of this life second son and 2 were Cole diee but everyone else lives
another thing I’ll point out is that the “Subdue/Execute” menu doesn’t appear on enemies during this fight. Signaling that Delsin only cares about dealing with Augustine and is in enough of an angry mood that he just doesn’t care about killing and stopping other side guys, he’s focused on beating the crap out of Brooke.
Sarah's death in TLOU was devastating. Didn't expect it to happen in the BEGINNING of the game! And then, the show somehow takes that moment and makes it sadder
As iconic as the scene is, I played it for the first time on PC when it was released last year knowing damn well what happens , but I still couldn't fight back the tears.
Im a huge fan of TLOU game's but the show trying to apeal to not be "racist" they made Tommy and his wife Maria from white to mexican and black and they're dictators and Ellie being non binary instead of just gay it killedthe show for me but i will always love the game's i just have a new outlook on Neil Druckman and not wanting to be victimized by race riots you could have done better Neil very very VERY disappointing but that's just my opinion and i don't think im alone
For people who have played the original Mw3 Soaps death broke me when i first saw it, Especially the part where price was breaking down and calling for soap not to die.
The two game deaths that broke me the most were Zack Fair and Aerith. No matter how many times I see it, Zack's death always makes me cry. You spend the whole time playing as him, getting to know him and his personality. Then, he's gone. And the music, The Price of Freedom, makes me cry whenever I hear it... but it's also one of my favorite soundtracks. Aerith's death in the original was sad, but what really broke me was the way it was handled in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. The fake out gives a flicker of hope, but it dies just as quickly as it came. Seeing the looks on the characters' faces afterwards and the tone... just... damn.
Bruh, when I heard Sadie say “we found him, we found Micah” I got excited. Then in the end credits I saw Edgar Ross tracking down John and I knew. Had me regretting killing Micah fr. PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE
Mordin - Mass Effect 3. Mordin's death makes me cry to this day even though I've played through Mass Effect many, many times at this point. The character growth that Solarian showed from when you meet him ME2, to dying to fix HIS mistake in ME3 is astounding. Had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong.
I miss Legion Also Sheppards death is really sad because you see it through the Characters you starting to love And the hole left behind. They are still there, you can just never interact with them again.
Half of the gaming community sadly will never play the ME games, even though it’s one of the best of all time, and mordin’s death is extremely sad and I am happy you brought it up because I would have if no one else had…
Reggie's death really messed me up. The way he switches from hating, to sympathizing with conduits makes him such a lovable character. And then to just end like that... I swear, I was just as devastated as Delsin was
Since Reggie aressted Delson lots of times I thought he would drop Reggie but that's his brother maybe Delson did forgive Reggie aressting him lots of times cuz their brothers
It ain’t on the list but I think Dutch’s death scene is probably one of the saddest scenes in gaming. From the amazing acting to the writing. Dutch wasn’t lying when they said they’ll just find another monster. And knowing that Dutch dies on a mountain and in the snow, it’s poetic knowing that it started going downhill from there. It’s heartbreaking because Dutch is fully aware knowing that he can’t fight change and realizes he basically wasted his life fighting it. I’d like to think he was thinking about Hosea and Arthur in his final moments. Sorry if this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but those were just my thoughts.
This is huge and I fully agree. His death is a bit underrated, as it took the story of RDR2 to really feel the impact of Dutch’s death and made it THAT much worse. I actually had similar thoughts about this while making this vid and gathering the footage of Dutch. The fact he’s always fought change but could not change himself. He could never fight his own nature. Excellent writing
Dutch's death is more cathartic & poetic imo. It may be the thesis statement of both games' themes of change and the paradoxical goal to combat it. It's not his death itself that's tragic for me, though it's sad to see a good friend be reduced to this (even more after I the unshown model after his suicide), but the grander implication and all the gang members who've come and gone for his ideals, for it all to be for nothing. And John's fate that it foreshadows.
@@TonyCenoi gotta love the High-Honor version of Arthur's demise.... it is so good at how it makes ppl assume that it's objectively the best ending...
it's crazy because when i was playing RDR2 back when corona was in 2020/2021, it started to cough too. at first i thought a cold or even corona itself, only to find out i had lung cancer. that's why the game, but especially arthur is someone i recognize myself in. i know my time is very limited, so i'm trying to do even more good things than before.
The fact that Bill's sacrifice from Left 4 Dead isn't here really saddens me. The sacrifice is let alone sad as Bill made himself run towards the onslaught of tanks and a horde just to save his fellow survivors. We can also see the other survivors in The Passing campaign of Left 4 Dead 2, especially Zoey, who looks like a daughter to him, mourn a lot and remember him so many times. R.I.P Bill
I really shouldn't have checked the comments on This type of spoiler riddled video. 😭 It's not ur fault, it's mine but still respectfully fuck u man. 😂
For all of the people who played Titanfall 2, were heartbroken and devastated at the loss of BT-7274. Not once but twice. He will forever be remembered.
Sarah’s death killed ME Like I’m crying cause imagine you died what do you think would be going through your dads mind Like it’s so sad because you are in heaven and watching your dad suffer from your death it’s sooo sad 😭😭😭😭
Honorable mention to Taka from Ghost of Tsushima. He was Yuna's whole world, considering they only had each other until they met Jin. So seeing him not just die, but be brutally decapitated by Khotun made it feel like he killed my brother.
Jin’s horse’s death was also pretty heartbreaking. I know he’s not a character like Yuna, but he was with you for whole first and second acts of the game. So it broke my heart seeing him get shot with arrows and dying
The thing that hurts me about Reggie’s death is the fact that the concrete doesn’t kill people, like we saw with Hank. Which means that reggie dies drowning
John's is the most brutally tragic but poetic IMO. It's a Sisyphic uphill battle where no matter how much he goes and starts over, he just can't run. He's on his own, finds a family, fights and runs with them, is left to die, commits to an honest life, but forced back into his past to hunt brothers he really didn't want to hurt for some rich man's aspirations, and is finally reunited with his family seemingly for good. Only for that fleeting peace to be swiftly torn away from him. But in the midst of all the despair, he claims power over his life by acting contrary to all that he's done - he stop running. He faces his punishment while his family escapes, giving his life so they may get to live theirs unchained by his sins.
Yeah it is, and it was the worst death out of all the gang members as well. Arthur had a peaceful death, sad music. John was brutally executed, no music at all, its just the sound of him choking on his own blood.
Just watching this just made so much trauma from playing these come back. I literally had to stop watching and decompress because of how much I couldn't handle myself.
The saddest for me will always be Dom's death from Gears of War 3. As a fan of the series if you played them from the first game, that scene hits really hard.
And Marcus Trying to scramble to his feet to go and get dom just incase he survived the first explosion only to be held back by anya. And then the tanker detonated and you just see him stop

@@DeadX2 ima be honest, I’ve never seen johns death in game, only on vids, I’m about halfway through rdr1, so it probably is more depressing than Arthurs
That final conversation with Ock is world-breaking. The way Peter just... walks away, anguished and lost while Otto screams in desperation is one of the saddest scenes in any game
I wish more people knew about the og 2 infamous games. It’s ps3 and a lot more dated but I loved both of them. Cole Mckgrath, aka The Demon of Empire City. Badass
When I saw that scene of Reggie’s death when I got to that part of the game I was shocked and devastated just like delsien I was literally thinking okay Augustine you deserve what you’re going to get
Can we just talk about Troy Baker is in this list twice as the person dealing with the death of the character (Delsin and Joel [TLoU]) and once as the character dying (Joel [TLoUP2])? Like my dude did a great job voicing that grief, and dying.
i've seen things about how John could've just gone through the back door of the barn and ran off with abigail and jack... but if he had done that the government would've tracked him down and most likely kill abigail and jack that time, so he had to sacrifice himself to save the rest of his family.
Worst part about Brock’s death is because he’s missing part of his soul he’ll never find peace or the afterlife his soul will wander forever 😭😭 AND we not getting no more Norse god of war games so we’ll likely never see sindri again😭😭
@shadowarrow1998 100%...It could be he is the one that finds a way to kill kratos... Because it will probably happen someday... And i can see sindri taking the kratos path of revenge...
Joel’s death was a weird one to put on the list tho. His death was super expected even if you had managed to somehow avoid the huge leaks before the games release. Most people were furious watching joel die. All they wanted was to watch Abby die
Nah real gs remember how tragic rueben's death was in minecraft story mode. That deserves an honorable mention at least. Left 9 year old me traumatized
Honorable mention for me is Darko Brevic from GTA 4. He (as his name implies) is someone who is very similar to Niko in background and upbringing but a few bad choices between drugs and money leads him to selling out his squad. What amplifies it for me is the way it impacts Niko in the ends because he let his revenge consume him and in the end he feels empty and devoid of purpose
Roman and Kate deaths were unexpected and both died by mistake (both killers were trying to kill Niko) so these hit hard. Roman was his cousin which once was walking from church maried and after short struggle with assassin Niko saw him lying dead on sidewalk with crying bride what made Niko shot few times killers body in despair and anger, when Kate died in drive-by shooting and she was dying in Niko's amrs and there was nothing he could do. Both deaths had a little different outcome on Niko (after Roman he was more angry, after Kate he was more sad)
The thing that makes Reggie’s death less impactful and sad to me is that Reggie still says the same stuff about how he loves his brother and is proud of him even if Desmond takes the evil route and kills hundreds of innocent civilians.
In a way it still can be applicable tho That's his baby brother regardless. He wants to be proud of him, in his heart he deeply believes (in an Infamous run) Delsin can still change. It's both honesty mixed with a desperate plea for his brother to do the right thing
I just subscribed Bro I wasn’t expecting to cry today but I sure did . Thank you for this extremely well done and well thought out video. Hit home each time lol
Lee is the only death that made me full on cry, Brok and aunt May's deaths always make me tear up and whilst I don't cry when Arthur dies watching him slowly die from TB is awful
I remember playing Infamous Second Son, I was a kid, one of the first games I played on a console, and Reggies death was the first time I actually teared up from a video game, and the first time I wanted vengeance.
On The Topic Of Cyberpunk. If You Choose The Corpo Start, From The Getgo You Can Tell Your Character Already Has The Brotherly Bond And Past With Jackie. He Even Saves You From Getting Scrapped By Arasaka In The Intro. Makes His Death That Much Heavier.
I feel like every time a main character gets infected,they don’t end themselves,they ask the person that is either the person they’re protecting,a friend,or family member to end themselves,like bro THEY GRIEVE EVEN MORE.
It's really satisfying to finally see inFAMOUS Second Son get some recognition. Delsin is such a wasted character who had way too much potential in my opinion.
My husband and I were playing at the same time and keeping pace so we wouldn't spoil each other and we just looked up and bawled. Then we hugged for like 10 minutes crying. It was pretty rough.
Mordin. Anderson. Legion. The Virmire Sacrifice. Suicide mission members if you don’t know what you are doing. Tali if you choose Legion but can’t talk down the Quarians. So much potential heartbreak in the ME trilogy.
Here’s what I see between Athur’s death and John’s death in my opinion John’s death was shocking. It was something I never thought would happen. John had just got his family back, it seemed he had finally outrun his outlaw life, which I believed. But then the lawmen came back, and shot him down just like that. No dramatic lighting, no high rising music. Just shot down like an animal. I sat there for several minutes, shocked at what I just saw, trying to process what happened, unable to move on, the reality of what just happened was still setting in. Arthur Morgan’s death was different, once he was told he contracted tuberculosis, I knew he was going to die, and I wanted to make his last moments as quiet and peaceful as possible. His words to the people he speaks with, him wanting to change. It hurt to watch. And when his death finally came. I just couldn’t come to terms with everything that happened, he had died, and the adventures, and the outlaw life died with him. Simply poetic. John’s death left a much stronger initial impact. Arthur’s death left an impact that I still can’t leave behind.
What killed me about Sarah's death in TLOU the most was how she gave Joel that brand new watch right in the beginning, and as you see Joel holding her, you can see that a bullet or two had hit the watch. The last gift Joel ever got from his daughter right before the infestation has a permanent scar from what took his daughter from him.
just so you know, after playing those games and experiencing the deaths and forgetting them and then watching this video, it just brings back those bad memories.
This wasn’t on their but all my Mortal Kombat fans know that scorpions death is one of the saddest deaths in gaming history. Such and a amazing character and OG guy died to D’vorahs poison
Liu Kang and Kitana in Mortal Kombat 9 was more sad in my opinion. Kitana begging her brainwashed mother to not kill her and when Raiden and Liu Kang arrive too late, she uses her last breath to tell Liu Kang "You were right. I wish we met under different circumstances". A really heartbreaking moment that made Liu Kang angry with Raiden which would lead to a showdown between the two in the final chapter of the story mode where Liu Kang would sadly meet the same fate like Kitana as Raiden kills him accidentally in the act of self-defense. Raiden feeling devastated by what just happened, begs Liu for forgiveness but Liu gives him one last response before he passes away. "You.....killed us.....all."
honestly murking Reggie sealed Augustine's fate for me first playthrough, it's the first time I actively chose to do the darkside ending on the first run
One of my favorite things in CP77 is that for a little while you can call his number and V does a grief monologue, V will update Jackie and talk about what's been happening. Its precisely what real people would do in that situation.
@@Drakenlot you have the option to attend his memorial funeral to pay your respect to him also the free bike and weapon if you send Jackie's body to victory's you will get locked out of the side quest
Clementine doesn't have to shoot Lee. That's what makes that game so great: your choices aren't good vs bad, but rather awful vs different, but equally awful. Lee has 2 objectives throughout the entire game: 1. Protect Clementine, and 2. Preserve her innocence For your final choice, you have to pick 1 of those objectives at the expense of the other. 1. Spare Clementine from having to kill you, but then suffer the agonizing slow death of becoming a zombie. This option spares Clem's innocence, but without you there to protect her, that innocence is a likely death sentence for her, or 2. Make her kill you, robbing her of her innocence, but hopefully teaching her how to make hard choices to increase her likelihood of survival It's a BRUTAL choice to be forced to make, and it's what makes the scene so heart-wrenching, not the actual death itself.
On that note, far too many of the "It's Just a Game" videos completely overlook Lee's death. Another tragic death is Chloe from Life is Strange. You start that game by saving your best friend's life with your new found power to rewind time. You spend the rest of the game learning about how Chloe's life went to hell after you moved away, and you try to undo all the damage your leaving caused. All the while, a freak storm is approaching the town. The game ends with you and Chloe standing atop a hill in a lightning storm, as you learn that your powers are the cause of the storm, which will kill thousands of people in the town, including your mother and Chloe's mother. You are given the impossible choice of letting thousands of people die or going back in time and letting your best friend die, all while Chloe is begging you to go back. The worst thing about this is that both options suck (just like Lee's final choice). If you let thousands die, Chloe will surely never forgive you. But if you go back in time, then Chloe will have died thinking you had abandoned her. You will undo all of the things you repaired in your relationship, and the entire game will essentially have been pointless. It's honestly even more gut-wrenching than Lee's choice! Kate's death is also brutal. Since you can rewind time, there aren't many consequences for making a mistake. But when Kate decides to kill herself, your powers stop working. If you say the wrong thing, she kills herself and you can't undo it. It's a real slap to the face and is the first time you realize that your decisions have consequences. It's an amazing game! Also, honorable mention for Scooter from Tales from the Borderlands (another TellTale game; those guys write AMAZING stories). He's the lovable idiot from Catch-a-Ride throughout that franchise, and although an idiot, he shows he's got a heart of gold with his self-sacrifice. The chapter ends with him drifting off into space on a rocket as the chapter's outro song plays (To the Top by Twin Shadow).
Clive from Final Fantasy XVI was also sad for me. Its at 3 for 3 for making me cry. Lee was the first time i cried, and will always cry at, same with season 2.
Honorable Mention and I dont know why he is not in this compliation but aint no one going to talk about Dom Santiago from Gears of War 3 that one got me good
Witcher 3 (SPOILER) Vesemir's death and especially Geralt's reaction to it always get me. First how he dies, giving his life to prevent Ciri from essentially giving up her life for theirs. And then when Geralt first notices him lying dead on the ground, the realization of what he's seeing, and then taking the time to put Vesemir's sword back into its sheath. It's a little thing but so much behind it
4:38 brooo why you gotta include this oneee 😥 every playthrough i did, his death was pretty much as depressing as before you become great friends after getting slapped by police at the same time, and fight through a heist going wrong all until the end, yet he was hit in a bad spot so he dies while theyre safe in the car
The saddest video game death imo was Cayde-6 in Destiny 2 Forsaken i was very emotional when this happened. I never thought everyones favorite hunter vanguard would get killed by the evil Uldren Sov. RIP Cayde-6 you will be missed😢❤ 2014-2018
i knew ragnarok was gonna be here you didnt mention the fact that in the ending of ragnarok, theres a scene where atreus traps odin in sort of a marble, in the end sindri snatches that marble and breaks it killing odin. i did never expect that the happy sindri i knew to end off the story
For me the saddest death was cole macgrath from Infamous 2 when I got the hero ending, man those feelings I really wasn't expecting him to die because in my mind the protagonist can't die but I was wrong.
I agree with all of these. Another honourable mention is Life is strange, save the town choice ending. Time goes back to before Max meets Chloe again, and has no recollection, memory or experience of all the time she spends with your player - Max. The sad thing is she has to live knowing she got to see her friend one last time, even though when the timeline altered, none of these events happened, and Max is the only one with any recollection of it.
And the song just makes it hit harder. And then in the second game knowing both David and Joyce just couldn't handle her death and split apart. Knowing David loved her as if she was his own he just didn't know how to show it. And she died thinking nobody cared about her.
IMO, the saddest death in gaming will always be Lirum's death in Lost Odyssey. When she dies, you not only have to hear her _father_ begging and pleading for her to hold on until he can find her mother, but you also have to listen to Lirum's two young children (IIRC, the oldest, Cooke, is only 9, and the youngest, Mack, is only 8) _screaming_ for their mom to wake up. That scene always gets to me. The only mercy is that Lirum dies knowing that Cooke and Mack will have their grandfather (and eventually their grandmother, Sarah, as well) to look after them in her stead.
With the intro montage of Cyberpunk 2077, the only downside is that we never get to experience those moments with jackie and create a deeper backstory with him
I think Arthur's is sadder than John's. John's kinda goes off as a spectacle of sorts. You are left jaw dropped. Arthur on the other hand just builds up to it.. slowly and steadily.. You see him accepting that his time is near. And within that limited time he tries his best to become a man the people around him would be proud of. And opposed to what he says that he wants to die facing the setting sun, he dies facing the rising sun almost as if his death wasn't an end but a start of sorts for the people he has helped find a new life. It just get's you so emotional.
The one that got me the most was the death of primis Richtofen in Blood of the Dead. Been with Primis richtofen ever since Origins in BO2 and his crew won't even remember what he did for them or that he was the nicest one. Just replaced by Great War Richtofen and forgotten in the aether Richtofen deserved better

There’s a conversation Arthur can have with Hosea and some other gang members in Red Dead 2 where they ask each other how they want to die, where he says this.
“Face me to the west so I can watch the setting sun, and remember all the fine times we had that way.”
Instead, he dies facing east on the rising sun, it’s not the end of Arthur’s life where the sun sets him into darkness, it’s the beginning of John’s life who he saved, bringing Arthur to the light.

Another thing about Reggie's death that wasnt mentioned is that in the game's good karma ending, Delsin spraypaints a memorial of his brother. On the same billboard he'd vandalized in the beginning(which had a picture of his brother)
Good catch! I did forget to add that
I like the good Karmas out of infamous anyway their more melancholy but good in the scheme of this life second son and 2 were Cole diee but everyone else lives
Delsin says the same thing to Reggie that Zeke did to Cole in Infamous 2. "I love you, brother, and I'm sure gonna miss you."
I liked how no matter if Delsin was evil or good, he still had his back. A true brother.
another thing I’ll point out is that the “Subdue/Execute” menu doesn’t appear on enemies during this fight. Signaling that Delsin only cares about dealing with Augustine and is in enough of an angry mood that he just doesn’t care about killing and stopping other side guys, he’s focused on beating the crap out of Brooke.

Also Sheppards death is really sad because you see it through the Characters you starting to love And the hole left behind. They are still there, you can just never interact with them again.
Half of the gaming community sadly will never play the ME games, even though it’s one of the best of all time, and mordin’s death is extremely sad and I am happy you brought it up because I would have if no one else had…

Mine was David Anderson. I cried when I watched that scene and the flashbacks made me sob out
Reggie's death really messed me up. The way he switches from hating, to sympathizing with conduits makes him such a lovable character. And then to just end like that... I swear, I was just as devastated as Delsin was
Since Reggie aressted Delson lots of times I thought he would drop Reggie but that's his brother maybe Delson did forgive Reggie aressting him lots of times cuz their brothers
I remember playing this with my brother, it literally broke both of us
It ain’t on the list but I think Dutch’s death scene is probably one of the saddest scenes in gaming. From the amazing acting to the writing. Dutch wasn’t lying when they said they’ll just find another monster. And knowing that Dutch dies on a mountain and in the snow, it’s poetic knowing that it started going downhill from there. It’s heartbreaking because Dutch is fully aware knowing that he can’t fight change and realizes he basically wasted his life fighting it. I’d like to think he was thinking about Hosea and Arthur in his final moments. Sorry if this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but those were just my thoughts.
This is huge and I fully agree. His death is a bit underrated, as it took the story of RDR2 to really feel the impact of Dutch’s death and made it THAT much worse. I actually had similar thoughts about this while making this vid and gathering the footage of Dutch. The fact he’s always fought change but could not change himself. He could never fight his own nature. Excellent writing
Dutch's death is more cathartic & poetic imo. It may be the thesis statement of both games' themes of change and the paradoxical goal to combat it. It's not his death itself that's tragic for me, though it's sad to see a good friend be reduced to this (even more after I the unshown model after his suicide), but the grander implication and all the gang members who've come and gone for his ideals, for it all to be for nothing. And John's fate that it foreshadows.
@@TonyCenoi gotta love the High-Honor version of Arthur's demise....
it is so good at how it makes ppl assume that it's objectively the best ending...
What about big smoke
I wouldn’t call that sad, I’d say it’s more poetic
it's crazy because when i was playing RDR2 back when corona was in 2020/2021, it started to cough too. at first i thought a cold or even corona itself, only to find out i had lung cancer. that's why the game, but especially arthur is someone i recognize myself in. i know my time is very limited, so i'm trying to do even more good things than before.
Oh gosh this hurts to read! 😢

Good luck brother
You can beat it, man. Prayers for you.
ill send you my prayers brother stay strong! ❤️
The fact that Bill's sacrifice from Left 4 Dead isn't here really saddens me. The sacrifice is let alone sad as Bill made himself run towards the onslaught of tanks and a horde just to save his fellow survivors. We can also see the other survivors in The Passing campaign of Left 4 Dead 2, especially Zoey, who looks like a daughter to him, mourn a lot and remember him so many times. R.I.P Bill
I think Cere’s death in Jedi Survivor was really sad. Less her actually dying, but Cal’s reaction was heartbreaking

Don't forget that if you choose to say nothing for the last dialogue options, he says "goodbye Jack." Which makes it much sadder.

I would be sad if I see my Own dad go through a Vengeful path and a pure depression 😢
the last of us and spider man and red dead made me cry.....also love ur vids
Honorable mention to Taka from Ghost of Tsushima. He was Yuna's whole world, considering they only had each other until they met Jin. So seeing him not just die, but be brutally decapitated by Khotun made it feel like he killed my brother.
Taka's death actually broke me, and obviously Jin and Yuna. Glad my boi Jin slid back for him in the end, he deserved it.
True, but for me honouring lord shimura with his last wish was more emotional, especially for that masterpiece of a song.
Jin’s horse’s death was also pretty heartbreaking. I know he’s not a character like Yuna, but he was with you for whole first and second acts of the game. So it broke my heart seeing him get shot with arrows and dying
Bro this is why I gotta finish games quick I've already had Jin's death spoiled and now Taka
@@unnot5706But Jin doesn't die? Oh shit...
The thing that hurts me about Reggie’s death is the fact that the concrete doesn’t kill people, like we saw with Hank. Which means that reggie dies drowning
John's is the most brutally tragic but poetic IMO. It's a Sisyphic uphill battle where no matter how much he goes and starts over, he just can't run. He's on his own, finds a family, fights and runs with them, is left to die, commits to an honest life, but forced back into his past to hunt brothers he really didn't want to hurt for some rich man's aspirations, and is finally reunited with his family seemingly for good. Only for that fleeting peace to be swiftly torn away from him. But in the midst of all the despair, he claims power over his life by acting contrary to all that he's done - he stop running. He faces his punishment while his family escapes, giving his life so they may get to live theirs unchained by his sins.
Yeah it is, and it was the worst death out of all the gang members as well. Arthur had a peaceful death, sad music. John was brutally executed, no music at all, its just the sound of him choking on his own blood.

Ye
Just watching this just made so much trauma from playing these come back.
I literally had to stop watching and decompress because of how much I couldn't handle myself.
The saddest for me will always be Dom's death from Gears of War 3. As a fan of the series if you played them from the first game, that scene hits really hard.
I had to set the controller down and take a breather, if I'm being honest.
And Marcus Trying to scramble to his feet to go and get dom just incase he survived the first explosion only to be held back by anya. And then the tanker detonated and you just see him stop
Dom’s death was the only one that ever actually made me cry
I bawled my eyes out becuz of that scene
My brother David is a huge fan of the series. His favorite character was Dom. He cried his eyes out.

Yeah I miss Lee
Real
I spent 10 minutes trying to get him back up and researched for days on how to make him live 😭
Me too

aunt may's death (and otto's final convo with peter) were the first thing that made me shed tears on a video game
Aunt mays is ridiculously heartbreaking
@@TonyCeno It's also with a character who also suffers, losing so much and yet always pulls through for the people he loves
"If you help someone, you help everyone"
"If you help someone, you help everyone"
That final conversation with Ock is world-breaking. The way Peter just... walks away, anguished and lost while Otto screams in desperation is one of the saddest scenes in any game
Infamous second son was so ahead of its time if you play it on ps5 it looks and runs like a ps5 launch title but it was a ps4 launch title

@@Hoodini2253Don’t forget the Saint of New Marais!
Can we just talk about Troy Baker is in this list twice as the person dealing with the death of the character (Delsin and Joel [TLoU]) and once as the character dying (Joel [TLoUP2])? Like my dude did a great job voicing that grief, and dying.
The fact that when I watched Joel's death I actually cried so much my eyes are red and that shows how attached I am to him as a character
Watching this made me realize something. When someone dies its not the death itself that makes it so hard. Its living with the aftermath that is
i agree with lee i defiently cried when he died but on the last season when clem met him in her dreams it was soooo much sadder
It's even worse when you try to move on but your body and mind resists the acceptance and drags you further into more suffering and misery.
i've seen things about how John could've just gone through the back door of the barn and ran off with abigail and jack... but if he had done that the government would've tracked him down and most likely kill abigail and jack that time, so he had to sacrifice himself to save the rest of his family.
Lee, Arthur and John deaths are genuinely so sad
ironic how arthur morgan survived a nasty wolf bite to the hand and not get tetanus but dies to some bald nerds blood
Worst part about Brock’s death is because he’s missing part of his soul he’ll never find peace or the afterlife his soul will wander forever 😭😭 AND we not getting no more Norse god of war games so we’ll likely never see sindri again😭😭
Man I didn’t even think of this. Cryin rn
They said its over but I really doubt it. Why wouldnt they make more of the Norse storyline? Theres plenty left to tell, and its a massive money-maker
The characters will 100% return in the future games
Yes there will be no more Norse god of eat games but you can be damn sure that Sindri will make his way to the sequels probably as a villain.
@shadowarrow1998 100%...It could be he is the one that finds a way to kill kratos... Because it will probably happen someday... And i can see sindri taking the kratos path of revenge...
Just made me relive some of the worst times I’ve ever had in gaming.
As soon as that last hit on the head hit Joel i started uncontrollably sobbing, and seeing it still hurts.
that whole game genuinely altered my whole brain chemistry
Joel’s death was a weird one to put on the list tho. His death was super expected even if you had managed to somehow avoid the huge leaks before the games release. Most people were furious watching joel die. All they wanted was to watch Abby die
Hugo from Plague Tale not being on this list is a MAJOR crime
Nah real gs remember how tragic rueben's death was in minecraft story mode. That deserves an honorable mention at least. Left 9 year old me traumatized
Honorable mention for me is Darko Brevic from GTA 4. He (as his name implies) is someone who is very similar to Niko in background and upbringing but a few bad choices between drugs and money leads him to selling out his squad. What amplifies it for me is the way it impacts Niko in the ends because he let his revenge consume him and in the end he feels empty and devoid of purpose
Roman and Kate are sadder deaths in my opinion.
Roman and Kate deaths were unexpected and both died by mistake (both killers were trying to kill Niko) so these hit hard. Roman was his cousin which once was walking from church maried and after short struggle with assassin Niko saw him lying dead on sidewalk with crying bride what made Niko shot few times killers body in despair and anger, when Kate died in drive-by shooting and she was dying in Niko's amrs and there was nothing he could do. Both deaths had a little different outcome on Niko (after Roman he was more angry, after Kate he was more sad)
The thing that makes Reggie’s death less impactful and sad to me is that Reggie still says the same stuff about how he loves his brother and is proud of him even if Desmond takes the evil route and kills hundreds of innocent civilians.
In a way it still can be applicable tho
That's his baby brother regardless. He wants to be proud of him, in his heart he deeply believes (in an Infamous run) Delsin can still change. It's both honesty mixed with a desperate plea for his brother to do the right thing
*becomes a terrorist*
"I LovE yoU BAby BRo!"@@roonkolos
Dom's death from gears of war 3 is the saddest in all of gaming
Agreed.
More than anything it was Marcus' frantic yell that made me cry
If you didn't say it I would have his death broke me
Literally one of the only games that actually made me cry when someone died man. It broke me
Definitely deserves on this list
I just subscribed
Bro I wasn’t expecting to cry today but I sure did . Thank you for this extremely well done and well thought out video. Hit home each time lol
These types of videos are really good for my smoke sessions they get my mind thinking I appreciate what you doing brother
Lee is the only death that made me full on cry, Brok and aunt May's deaths always make me tear up and whilst I don't cry when Arthur dies watching him slowly die from TB is awful
I’m not one to cry at games or movies, Arthur got a few tears out of me though
I remember playing Infamous Second Son, I was a kid, one of the first games I played on a console, and Reggies death was the first time I actually teared up from a video game, and the first time I wanted vengeance.
On The Topic Of Cyberpunk. If You Choose The Corpo Start, From The Getgo You Can Tell Your Character Already Has The Brotherly Bond And Past With Jackie. He Even Saves You From Getting Scrapped By Arasaka In The Intro. Makes His Death That Much Heavier.
I feel like every time a main character gets infected,they don’t end themselves,they ask the person that is either the person they’re protecting,a friend,or family member to end themselves,like bro THEY GRIEVE EVEN MORE.
For the first of your long form videos, I wanted to tell you that this video is amazing. I loved every second of it, keep up the amazing work.
It's really satisfying to finally see inFAMOUS Second Son get some recognition. Delsin is such a wasted character who had way too much potential in my opinion.
Mordin's death in ME3 hit me hard, especially when he started singing his song...
My husband and I were playing at the same time and keeping pace so we wouldn't spoil each other and we just looked up and bawled. Then we hugged for like 10 minutes crying. It was pretty rough.
Had to be him. Someone else might have gotten it wrong. 😭
Mordin. Anderson. Legion. The Virmire Sacrifice. Suicide mission members if you don’t know what you are doing. Tali if you choose Legion but can’t talk down the Quarians.
So much potential heartbreak in the ME trilogy.
Here’s what I see between Athur’s death and John’s death in my opinion
John’s death was shocking. It was something I never thought would happen. John had just got his family back, it seemed he had finally outrun his outlaw life, which I believed. But then the lawmen came back, and shot him down just like that. No dramatic lighting, no high rising music. Just shot down like an animal. I sat there for several minutes, shocked at what I just saw, trying to process what happened, unable to move on, the reality of what just happened was still setting in.
Arthur Morgan’s death was different, once he was told he contracted tuberculosis, I knew he was going to die, and I wanted to make his last moments as quiet and peaceful as possible. His words to the people he speaks with, him wanting to change. It hurt to watch. And when his death finally came. I just couldn’t come to terms with everything that happened, he had died, and the adventures, and the outlaw life died with him. Simply poetic.
John’s death left a much stronger initial impact. Arthur’s death left an impact that I still can’t leave behind.
What killed me about Sarah's death in TLOU the most was how she gave Joel that brand new watch right in the beginning, and as you see Joel holding her, you can see that a bullet or two had hit the watch. The last gift Joel ever got from his daughter right before the infestation has a permanent scar from what took his daughter from him.
Hearing a kid crying with a bullet in them and then passing is heartbreaking for me
just so you know, after playing those games and experiencing the deaths and forgetting them and then watching this video, it just brings back those bad memories.
Ghost and Arthur dying broke me into pieces. I've never been sad for months over a fictional character's death man.
I can say, that Leo/Vincent death from 'A way out' is also saddest when the final boss is actually your own best friend
The Last of Us affected us all more than we could ever imagine. The Last of Us 2 broke me.
8:05 what’s so sad is the fact Joel tries to shield her but was too slow

This wasn’t on their but all my Mortal Kombat fans know that scorpions death is one of the saddest deaths in gaming history. Such and a amazing character and OG guy died to D’vorahs poison
Liu Kang and Kitana in Mortal Kombat 9 was more sad in my opinion. Kitana begging her brainwashed mother to not kill her and when Raiden and Liu Kang arrive too late, she uses her last breath to tell Liu Kang "You were right. I wish we met under different circumstances". A really heartbreaking moment that made Liu Kang angry with Raiden which would lead to a showdown between the two in the final chapter of the story mode where Liu Kang would sadly meet the same fate like Kitana as Raiden kills him accidentally in the act of self-defense. Raiden feeling devastated by what just happened, begs Liu for forgiveness but Liu gives him one last response before he passes away. "You.....killed us.....all."

Making me watch that aunt may death again was dirty man, got me crying all over again at 2 am
Aerith hurt me, Lee broke me, and Sarah destroyed me. Thats my experience with effective game deaths.
honestly murking Reggie sealed Augustine's fate for me first playthrough, it's the first time I actively chose to do the darkside ending on the first run
I can't not cry whenever I hear Clementine's voice in that state. I just can't.
Having Reggie on this list is actually so valid (I may or may not have cried during his death)
Reggie went out like a great older brother. That was when the beef with Augustine got personal
I want a new Infamous game
Good thing you mentioned jackie welles he was a good friend who doesn't deserve to die from cyberpunk 2077
One of my favorite things in CP77 is that for a little while you can call his number and V does a grief monologue, V will update Jackie and talk about what's been happening.
Its precisely what real people would do in that situation.
@@Drakenlot you have the option to attend his memorial funeral to pay your respect to him also the free bike and weapon if you send Jackie's body to victory's you will get locked out of the side quest
Clementine doesn't have to shoot Lee. That's what makes that game so great: your choices aren't good vs bad, but rather awful vs different, but equally awful. Lee has 2 objectives throughout the entire game:
1. Protect Clementine, and
2. Preserve her innocence
For your final choice, you have to pick 1 of those objectives at the expense of the other.
1. Spare Clementine from having to kill you, but then suffer the agonizing slow death of becoming a zombie. This option spares Clem's innocence, but without you there to protect her, that innocence is a likely death sentence for her, or
2. Make her kill you, robbing her of her innocence, but hopefully teaching her how to make hard choices to increase her likelihood of survival
It's a BRUTAL choice to be forced to make, and it's what makes the scene so heart-wrenching, not the actual death itself.
On that note, far too many of the "It's Just a Game" videos completely overlook Lee's death.
Another tragic death is Chloe from Life is Strange. You start that game by saving your best friend's life with your new found power to rewind time. You spend the rest of the game learning about how Chloe's life went to hell after you moved away, and you try to undo all the damage your leaving caused. All the while, a freak storm is approaching the town. The game ends with you and Chloe standing atop a hill in a lightning storm, as you learn that your powers are the cause of the storm, which will kill thousands of people in the town, including your mother and Chloe's mother. You are given the impossible choice of letting thousands of people die or going back in time and letting your best friend die, all while Chloe is begging you to go back. The worst thing about this is that both options suck (just like Lee's final choice). If you let thousands die, Chloe will surely never forgive you. But if you go back in time, then Chloe will have died thinking you had abandoned her. You will undo all of the things you repaired in your relationship, and the entire game will essentially have been pointless. It's honestly even more gut-wrenching than Lee's choice!
Kate's death is also brutal. Since you can rewind time, there aren't many consequences for making a mistake. But when Kate decides to kill herself, your powers stop working. If you say the wrong thing, she kills herself and you can't undo it. It's a real slap to the face and is the first time you realize that your decisions have consequences. It's an amazing game!
Also, honorable mention for Scooter from Tales from the Borderlands (another TellTale game; those guys write AMAZING stories). He's the lovable idiot from Catch-a-Ride throughout that franchise, and although an idiot, he shows he's got a heart of gold with his self-sacrifice. The chapter ends with him drifting off into space on a rocket as the chapter's outro song plays (To the Top by Twin Shadow).
Claus’s Death in Mother 3 is Horribly Tragic
Clive from Final Fantasy XVI was also sad for me. Its at 3 for 3 for making me cry. Lee was the first time i cried, and will always cry at, same with season 2.
Honorable Mention and I dont know why he is not in this compliation but aint no one going to talk about Dom Santiago from Gears of War 3 that one got me good
Jump, will you? Do it!
Came here to say this too, it's one that hits me pretty hard too.
Witcher 3 (SPOILER)
Vesemir's death and especially Geralt's reaction to it always get me. First how he dies, giving his life to prevent Ciri from essentially giving up her life for theirs. And then when Geralt first notices him lying dead on the ground, the realization of what he's seeing, and then taking the time to put Vesemir's sword back into its sheath. It's a little thing but so much behind it

For me the saddest death was cole macgrath from Infamous 2 when I got the hero ending, man those feelings I really wasn't expecting him to die because in my mind the protagonist can't die but I was wrong.

Not having Hugo De Rune on this list is like making a list about the best pastas without including Fettuccine Alfredo
Another thing about john is that he didn’t want Jack to become an outlaw like him.
I agree with all of these. Another honourable mention is Life is strange, save the town choice ending. Time goes back to before Max meets Chloe again, and has no recollection, memory or experience of all the time she spends with your player - Max. The sad thing is she has to live knowing she got to see her friend one last time, even though when the timeline altered, none of these events happened, and Max is the only one with any recollection of it.
And the song just makes it hit harder. And then in the second game knowing both David and Joyce just couldn't handle her death and split apart. Knowing David loved her as if she was his own he just didn't know how to show it. And she died thinking nobody cared about her.
Nicely done video, great commentary which DOESN'T get annoying! Nicely done. Im proud to sub to this channel.
I still cry at aunt mays scene
Same man
i cry at aunt mays and the last scene with MJ
IMO, the saddest death in gaming will always be Lirum's death in Lost Odyssey. When she dies, you not only have to hear her _father_ begging and pleading for her to hold on until he can find her mother, but you also have to listen to Lirum's two young children (IIRC, the oldest, Cooke, is only 9, and the youngest, Mack, is only 8) _screaming_ for their mom to wake up. That scene always gets to me. The only mercy is that Lirum dies knowing that Cooke and Mack will have their grandfather (and eventually their grandmother, Sarah, as well) to look after them in her stead.
With the intro montage of Cyberpunk 2077, the only downside is that we never get to experience those moments with jackie and create a deeper backstory with him
"Makarov knows yuri"
Reggie's death actually got me fuming so hard, and I had WAY too much Good Karma to kill Augustine 😭
21:45 it really hit hard when you hear the flat line
I think Arthur's is sadder than John's. John's kinda goes off as a spectacle of sorts. You are left jaw dropped.
Arthur on the other hand just builds up to it.. slowly and steadily.. You see him accepting that his time is near. And within that limited time he tries his best to become a man the people around him would be proud of. And opposed to what he says that he wants to die facing the setting sun, he dies facing the rising sun almost as if his death wasn't an end but a start of sorts for the people he has helped find a new life. It just get's you so emotional.
The one that got me the most was the death of primis Richtofen in Blood of the Dead. Been with Primis richtofen ever since Origins in BO2 and his crew won't even remember what he did for them or that he was the nicest one. Just replaced by Great War Richtofen and forgotten in the aether
Richtofen deserved better
