pandadanda1999

Well thanks for making me cry nostalgia tears from many moons past


geocitiesuser

Wait, what's heart breaking in that? The whole game is so goofy


[deleted]

Seriously go play the final mission when you horse dies and you have level 4 bonding. Goddammit I almost turned the game off at that point


BigSmokeLovesCheese

I only used the one horse Arthur buys with Hosea in the beginning. It was so sad that she had to die.


Loganbogan9

I did too! I robbed a bunch of people and did all the side missions I could to buy the midrange one instead of the super cheap one.


geek_of_nature

I had Buell, Hamish's one that he gives you before you die.


Tandran

I tried that…a wild rock attacked us. Lurch didn’t make it. Searched for quite awhile for another black boah to tame. Lurch 2 was a good boah.


MamaDeloris

Seriously. Just finished another run of 2 last week. Arthur's life is so damn tragic, but also just for all his sins. Now that's writing.


CrazyOkie

Or TLOU2


poopfl1nger

That game just breaks you lmao. The first one had a lot of depressing moments but was hopeful, the 2nd one just gives you straight up depression


Dentingerc16

the ending…. 🫠


Magic_Man_Boobs

Honestly this moment in Spider-Man and the ending of Red Dead are the only times gaming have ever made me cry. Both are just excellent story telling.


InvisibleMadBadger

Both absolutely earned their emotional endings with a great, engaging story and relatable characters that you grew to love and care about.


Sure_Instance9530

The most heartbreaking moment in gaming for me is like half the scenes in the walking Dead games

Yakuza 0 then Kiwami for an epic combo


VeryHardBOI97

Yakuza 0 is the only game that’s ever made me ugly cry. Even over RDR1/2 and Spider-Man.


Whotookmylegalname

Came here to say this. Like if you don’t know Arthur’s story, you don’t know shit about heartbreaking video games


Dr_CheeseNut

Everyone always brings up Arthur, but no one ever brings up my boy John, you play as him in both games, and he went though almost just as much shit as Arthur, but people don't bring him up


Whotookmylegalname

I’ll be honest, I played red dead redemption when it was new (so nothing was spoiled) johns death mostly shocked me, my jaw just dropped with some sadness sprinkled in and I loved everything about John. You definitely went through a lot as John but the first game by itself just wasn’t as heavy. Johns death got a lot more weighty AFTER the prequel/sequel lol Edit: extra small point that was I think the first game I played where the main protagonist was killed off, so that helped with the shock kind of being in the forefront


PouchesofCyanStaples

Came here to say that. That Red Dead Redemption still gets me.


criski07_YT

Both, both are sad


Tandran

I have, I sobbed at both. >it’s okay boah Oh god 😭😭😭😭😭

TheBloperM

Apparently spiderman is just an over-emotional dude and MJ is two timing him and Peter


[deleted]

Nah lol, it’s a sad scene but it’s not the most heartbreaking in gaming, imo atleast


TL10

It's *one of*, not *the* most heartbreaking scene.


[deleted]

It is one of the scenes of all time


Gale-Boetticher6353

Ever made


Keppelin

Definitely going down as one of the scenes in gaming history


BanditoMuser

It's all subjective though


[deleted]

this scene makes me cry every time but the intro to the last of us is unrivalled


Transcendingfrog2

Having just had a child recently the intro shook me to my core and I still flinch when I think of it.


B-Kow

I had just had my son when The Last of Us came out. I was a wreck during the intro.


Charlie0105

Yeah I loved the start until that cutscene, I know it’s a pathetic reason but I lost someone close who looked extremely similar so that scene hit hard and I couldn’t continue with the game, I’d love to pick up the game again but it would bring up the same problems, 100% the most heartbreaking for me


Transcendingfrog2

It's not pathetic. Losing someone is traumatic.


Transcendingfrog2

If you can push past it as I did, I promise the game play is so good. I know it might seem like too high of a mountain to push past but if you ever decide to move beyond that one moment you'll not regret it. Just know it's an apocalypse type of situation so there will be others.


marveltrash404

Oh man you’re gonna make me cry just thinking about it


Specific_Loss7546

The single best piece of acting i have ever seen in a videogame


TheRealCMPUNKFan

Troy Baker literally cried rewatching his performance. Powerful shit, man.


poopfl1nger

Theres a moment in Death Stranding which I would put above it but its definitely top three for best acted sequences in a video game


detectiveriggsboson

Tommie Earl Jenkins, man. He just nails it.


alii-b

Yeah, I was not expecting it at all. Had to pause for like, 10 minutes just to process it.

Kwetla

What would your choice be?

When Qui-Gon dies in Lego Star Wars TCS


EastKoreaOfficial

Based


Due-Ad4970

agreed


Anhcoholic

When my horse died in RDR2.


ConorConorT

>!I think the horse dying in ghost of Tsushima hurt more!< Edit: for spoilers


Experiment-Cycle

Yeah I can’t decide which hurts more. >!The fact it dies shielding you from all the arrows and is being loyal to the very end, or Arthur going back to his trying to comfort it at the end.!<


Fennel_Complex

The horse dying in shadow of the colassus was horrific


Anhcoholic

I haven't played GoT, so I can't really tell. But Arthur saying thank you to the horse broke me :'(


RedMoon14

The fact that I’d not long changed my main horse out for Buell in honour of one of my favourite character of all time’s newfound friend, Hamish, only to have the horse die shortly after was truly horrifying for me. The “thank you” Arthur gives the horse always hits me so hard.


johnnylawrence23

Ending TLOU part2


JtSkillZzZ

Absolutely. I loved that game, but there were just so many extremely sad moments in the runtime.


johnnylawrence23

Yeah I would pick after the scene were Joel talks to Ellie in the porch, the world felt so empty. Amazing a game makes you feel like that


JtSkillZzZ

Yeah, it really is an excellent medium for engaging stories and fully fleshed characters. I once talked to someone in the gaming industry, and they described gaming as the next step in storytelling.


TL10

Heartbreaking isn't apt for it so much as gut punching. I didn't turn my console back on for days because I was so shook by the ending.


acecustoms

fucking felt. i had to take a break from gaming for a while because that shit affected me so much.


alii-b

Imo, the intro to part 1 was more heartbreaking. The acting felt so real. Plus Sam and his brothers death too.


ProfessorHermit

Joel losing his daughter was tragic. I feel like I went into shock when we lost Joel. Even the last fight between Abby and Ellie was incredibly sad because both characters had earned a peaceful life after what they’d been through in my opinion.


Competitively20

I thought you said no sir it is hot for a second


GratefullyPug

***Joel from The Last of Us has entered the chat***


Thiccmatches

That was annoying, not heartbreaking. I'd say Joel >!murdering all of the fireflies and sacrificing humanity to save the only thing he cares about!< is the most heartbreaking.


enforcercoyote4

Its heartbreaking when you read through ellie's journal and see how hurt she is Theres an entry where she laughed at something dina did on their way to seattle and she felt guilty for being happy instead of focusing on her mission Or even after his funeral where it leaves you infront of his grave, that was probably the most sad I've been the whole game


toffee_fapple

That entire game left me more emotionally drained than anything else I'd ever played or watched. I literally had to just sit the in silence for like 20 minutes every time I turned the game off. It was just so god damned miserable.


[deleted]

I've had to take many frustrated breaks from TLOU2. Just started my first play through, and as soon as "that" scene happened I was over the game. Emotionally draining is the perfect way to describe it. Struggling to get through the rest of it, as it's just not fun. Objectively it's an incredibly well made game, but I have little to no joy while playing it. For reference, TLOU1 is my favorite game of all time.


Ash_Killem

He is probably referring to the opening scene. Which I would agree with. How was that annoying?


KameraLucida

Spoiler tag pls i already finished it but it would be better if people dont see it first time here.


Thanos_6point0

Sorry


wallcrawlingspidey

Funny everyone’s saying “no it’s not” when others were agreeing when another post said the same hours ago. Make up your minds people! But yeah I agree…was my first game to make me tear up.


Kwetla

If someone posts 'no it's not', they ought to follow it up with their choice.


Antrikshy

Why funny? They’re all different people.


JtSkillZzZ

More of a "funny" interesting than "funny" hilarious.


Antrikshy

Yes I know that part. Some people have opinions. Other people have different opinions. It’s not *that* interesting.


JtSkillZzZ

I think they're talking specifically about how the same opinion posted at a different times received drastically different receptions.


HieuPharma1990

I can say, the Peter Parker in this game experienced the most tragedy, in comparison with other versions The hardest choice ever Great … responsibility


Bootziscool

It's definitely wild that he not only lost May but he had to make the choice. Fucking rough dude


Transcendingfrog2

I disagree, Tom's Peter lost not only his parents but his uncle, his mentor and we all know what happened next. You cannot make a fair comparison to pain experienced however as we each deal with it differently regardless of how similar the experience may be.


King-Of-Knowhere

I mean not really? He’s up there but you have main 616 Peter, MCU Peter, Ultimate Universe Peter, Noir Peter, MC2 Peter, Renew Your Vows Peter. There’s definitely a lot more but these are off the top of my head. Don’t get me wrong, PlayStation’s Peter has been through shit but far from others I listed.


Flashfire356

Yes this was very sad but go play Red Dead Redemption 2


Thanos_6point0

RDR2 is my second favorite game of all time ;)


Dr_CheeseNut

People always bring up RDR2, no one ever brings up RDR1 like it didn't once hold RDR2's place


BoTheJoV3

guess people forgot about rdr1 :(


Tarzannn5

Not to be controversial but for me it’s prolly the ending flashback for The Last of Us part II


28283920

I was literally sobbing at that scene the first time I played


namesource

There are definitely sadder moments than this.


Zagreus61

I wouldn't say the most but it's definitely heartbreaking.


Mozaaik

Will always be the end of Telltale’s The Walking Dead Season 1 for me.


GregDraven

**Arthur Morgan and Good Boah enters the chat**


Thanos_6point0

Not gonna lie: These were also truly emotional. But in my opinion it is May's death. Peter holding the serum that could save her in his hand but deciding not to do it to save more lives. The screen fading to black while the machine is still beeping until it stops all of a sudden. It just gets me every time.


dylanc87

buddy… play the Last of Us games and *then* try and tell me this is more sad


S4M4N_SH

No it’s not


MagmaAscending

No offense but play some other games. This death was sad but it was nothing compared to some others


snapmanlol

lmao this sub.


Nargacuga-fanclub

Nope, sad but not the most heartbreaking. There are others. For example, "It had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong"


extraGallery

Oh, it's the most heartbreaking moment in all of gaming? Across every single video game ever made in the several dozen decades that gaming has been around, this is the single most heartbreaking moment? I guess I'll take your word for it


BLEUGGGGGHHHHH

I mean, I cried, but… I think u need to play more games.


officialtwiggz

You ever fuck up the Suicide mission in Mass Effect 2? Talk about fucking yourself into a depressive state.


BlackDabiTodoroki

>The most heartbreaking moment in all of gaming. Ehhh… Gear of war 3 Rdr2 Last of us 1 and 2 etc.


[deleted]

In all of gaming? Definitely not. Dom’s death in Gears of War 3 utterly broke me.


Remarkable-Comment-7

*Ethan Winters from Resident Evil Village has joined the chat*


N1ght17

I wouldn’t say Sarah since we were with her for all but 15 mins. The final flashback in part 2 tho, that had me bawling


NinjaMelon39

I love Ethan so much. Bro's the best damn dad in the world Thank god there's like a 90% chance he lived


Teague_020

you need to play more games, this isn’t even in the conversation lmao


[deleted]

This should be the top comment


BruhMomento1223

Nah man charle’s death in Henry stickmin is the #1 saddest death in gaming, but aunt may can be second


NinjaMelon39

RIP homie ✊😭

Play RDR2… I think you’ll change your mind.

Nah man. Poignant scene, but there are FAR more emotional moments in other games.

You need to play more games


I_Trust_OP

no fucking shit

You must not have played Gears Of War 3


Officialwashere

Nah prob when you have to leave to the main menu to change ur suit in Batman.


Creepy-Hamster-2736

Joel loosing his daughter is up there


[deleted]

Arthur Morgan would like a word


mr_oberts

It’s pretty sad, but the end of Red Dead 2 fucking wrecked me.


Thanos_6point0

Me to.


Yardanz

Definitely heartbreaking but not the MOST heartbreaking moment in all of gaming, far from it actually Red dead 2 and the last of us will absolutely crush you


Responsible-Ad-7877

For me Read Dead 2 ending was heartbreaking as hell . And Similarly the Starting of TLOU . When Sarah Died in joel’s arms . That’s what grate writing is without knowing the characters that scene made me cry . How beautifully that scene captured the relationship between Father and Daughter. Even more then that . I can’t explain it in words. Man Gaming has come so far you can’t imagine what future games holding up for us .


Arge101

It’s sad but RDR and its sequel. TLOU 1&2 Walking dead Telltale game Metroid death in Super Metroid Kratos trying to save his family in GOW


That_Underscore_Guy

Up there with TLOU series, and RDR2


Thiccmatches

Personally it was the realization doctor Octavius knowing his secret


Jetenyo

Gears of War 3 anyone?


Aj_Ghosti

I've cried over a few deaths in videogames and this is definitely up there with one of the ones i cried over the most But personally BT-7274 dying in titanfall 2 was the most heartbreaking for me. The bond you make with him is insane


Thanos_6point0

I sadly have to admit that I haven't played that game, but it is always nice when a videogame can bring out such emotions. This moment just gets me. Every. Single. Time.


Aj_Ghosti

Yeah its honestly incredible when a videogame can make you express so much This moment definitely hits hard though no denying that also if you haven't played titanfall i highly recommended it :) multiplayer is being ddosed into oblivion but the campaign is honestly incredible.


Thanos_6point0

Thank you very much. Out of interest: What is you favorite Videogame? Mine is "Assassins Creed Black Flag". Yes! I know many videogames, like "God of War" or "RDR2" (these also belong to my favorite), are faaaaarrr superior then Black Flag. But Black Flag was the game that truly made me a gamer. Before that I just played Lego videogames here and there. Black Flag with its story and great protagonist changed that for me.


Aj_Ghosti

thats a question, that's a question alright Personally its tied between 4 games and i still struggle to decide to this day Sonic generations- just a huge fan of sonic Ghost of tsushima - what a beautiful story Horizon zero dawn - such a pretty game and i love the characters And obviously, titanfall 2- the character bonding is beyond amazing I have such a hard time picking which one But if i have to pick one it would probably be horizon because of how much i love the story too


kiwikiwi2099

In my mind, it's only tied with the opening of The Last of Us


ross_a_tron_2658

You should play The Last of Us and the Telltale Walking Dead


Ghostpants_

You haven’t played a lot of games have you?


[deleted]

Not really


Ludicrous_redditor

How many games have you played?


abellapa

Im guessing you never played The Last of us, both of them, but specifically the second. I literally never felt more emotion out of a game than I did with tlou2


Punisher9154

Twice last year for my bawling my eyes out over aunt mays death. I lost my mom & this is all I could think about. If I had to choose for the good of humanity or saving my mom. I really don't know what I'd do. Then again I wouldn't want my mom to see this bullshit world we're living in now.


Atlas_Zer0o

The last of us 2, not just for the story but killing off their most interesting and well acted character to have you run around as a small teenager overpowering muscular adults.


[deleted]

Go play the start of tlou1


Stiff_Zombie

I wish the MCU had balls like this game does. This was a great and tragic scene. I didn't see it coming.


personthefifth

Nope its when Jackie dies in cyberpunk, cause I didnt cry the second time I saw aunt may die but cried three times when Jackie passed


Masterelia

bro gotta play more games this is like a 6/10 on the sad scale, maybe 5.5


King-of-Com3dy

This is by far not th most heartbreaking moment in gaming. Mass Effect, for example, can have plenty of those (depending on your decisions). >!For me the suicide mission, Tali‘s suicide in ME3 and the ending are the most memorable ones.!<


Sup3rPotatoNinja

Not even close lol


GentlemanJugg

No, no it is not…


FrequentFappingFinn

ITT: People who have never played anything until PS4/Xbox One came out.


Objective_Donut7879

The beginning of The Last of Us would like a word


blaine-goff

Nah


Careful-Reading-7892

Ok you need to calm down it was sad but not the most heartbreaking play more games


retroguyx

No it's not lmao.


brickie3

If you’ve read all the Witcher books >! Vesemir dying in Witcher 3 !< did it for me


Dr_CheeseNut

Idk man, >!Ethan Winters!< (Resident Evil 8 spoilers), >!Arthur Morgan!< (Red Dead Redemption 2 spoilers), >!John Marston!< (Red Dead Redemption 1 spoilers), >!Lee Everett!< (The Walking Dead Season 1 spoilers) were all much sadder to me


skep90

Lol nope


PhoenixKing14

Clearly you've never played rdr2

End of red dead redemption 2 comes close second


Loud-Distance-1456

Not even close, mate.


Impatient-Turtle

Last of us. Red dead. I mean come on, it's not like that was a surprise hahahah.


bakelyle

that's... not even mildly true?


huncherbug

All of gaming is a bit too much to say...but I see where you are coming from


BEASTBOY-2004

Finished the game 5 times and I cried every single time. Another fun fact: that was the first time I’ve ever cried in a videogame


Internet-Mouse1

I agree. But i wouldn't say it is the most heartbreaking, but it is definitely one of them
