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._
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.
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.
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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
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
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 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
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.
I mean, technically, the camera pans to Tommy, and she slips into the afterlife while we are looking at him, but I can definitely see the life from her being drained from the moment she was shot, to her death.
A plague tale: requiem was one of if not the ONLY game I cried at the ending too. And I didn’t even play the first game, I didn’t even know there was a first game till after
After I beat Plague Tale Requiem, I couldn't touch any games as I was so depressed. It really is an life changing experience as the way the characters act/feel is very realistic to how we act. We'd do whatever we could to save someone, but sometimes it doesn't always work out
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 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
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
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
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'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...
Still Zack Fair's death in Crisis Core.. You know he will die but the way his life slowly fades away w/ the price of freedom playing as the bgm hits differently
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
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.
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)
0:34 ghost and roach: modern warfare 2 2009 1:50 Reggie Rowe: infamous: second son 4:39 Jackie wells: cyberpunk 2077 6:32 Sarah Miller: last of us 1 8:33 Joel Miller: last of us 2 (he can finally be with Sarah) 14:01 brok: god of war Ragnarok 18:07 lee Everett: the walking dead (telltale) 19:22 aunt may: Spider-Man (PS4) 21:47 Arthur Morgan: Red Dead Redemption 2
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.
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."
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.
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.
These didn't make the list but the First horse and Lord Shimura's deaths/bad ending from Ghost of Tsushima broke me and still does with me playing this game shortly after a member of my family passed.
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.
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.
Brok’s death was my PTSD. It felt like I lost a friend when he got stabbed. And “Blood Upon the Snow” after his funeral didn’t help me whatsoever. Kept crying.
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.
For me, one of the best deaths is noble team from halo reach (i know ive put a group of people instead of one but go with it) as they each die in unique ways and each death hits you in a different way until you just feel totally helpless when you see noble 6 pinned to the ground and stabbed to death by the covenant. Just such an amazing scene and set of character deaths as you've spent the game with these characters and although its a short game, its long enough for you to grasp the basics of their characters and their relationship to reach as a home so watching them die one by one as the situation gets grimmer until you are the last human standing on the plannet is so impactfull and the callback to the beginning with your personal damaged helmet on the grass was such a nice touch and made it all the more impactful
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
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
The game death that hurt me most was Kat from noble team, or even 6. But kat the most, she never even saw it coming, didn't go out on her own terms and never saw the end of the mission...
I watched this video in the hope that there might be a halo acknowledgement but it was playstation centred. I'd also think johnson and Miranda keyes would be up there as well as carter and Jorge. Really all of noble teams deaths were sad like you said
Not on the list, but the ending of Tag der Toten, where both Primis and Ultimis ultimately died, was tear jerking. Nikolai's final quote before the playable cutscene really hit it home, too. That or the tragic death of Edward Richtofen at the end of Blood of the Dead.
i havent even played call of duty modern warfare 2 and roach and ghost's deaths get me every single time. the second you hear 'good, that's one less loose end' you IMMEDIATELY know where its going and thats just from watching videos about it! imagine how it is to play it! you get a pov shot of your character getting set on fire!
I cried over Joel’s death. It was the first character I got so attached too. After playing as him in the first game, it hurt to see him go in front of Ellie
I completed the spider man game over the span of a year mainly because I was into other games but that got me more attached to aunt may whenever I played and seeing her die like that calmly, gently and peacefully was softening and saddening I almost cried watching it.
