" Finding David in the Mass Effect 2 Overlord DLC "
Not sure that was my saddest moment. They foreshadowed it a little too much, which took away from the final reveal. But I did think it was one of the stronger moments in ME2, and made up somewhat for the almost total lack of character interaction otherwise. I like the regret on the brothers face at what he had done.
I think the ending of MGS: Peace Walker was pretty sad. It fills in the last important gap in the story of Naked Snake, and locks him into his tragic destiny as the "villain" of the future games.
Shit, totally forgot about that one somehow (which is strange because I just got Undead Nightmare in the mail). A sad ending, that was totally avenged in the second ending (or I guess real ending depending how you look at it).

I have to agree, I loved ME2 but I didn't think the David reveal was very shocking. It was far too obvious and the DLC itself wasn't long enough to build up any tension or feelings for the characters.
I'd probably go with the ending of Red Dead Redemption. Even if you knew it was going to happen, the actual events were pretty brutal and very graphic. I can't imagine anyone wasn't at least a little taken aback by that.

The moment you realise that Final Fantasy XIII is decisively terrible... just kidding :)
Red Dead Redemption's ending surprised me as I'd seen an ad for the the DLC which sort of lead to me to believe this and that yada yada no spoilers :) Very sad though. Great game.
Coming out of the barn to face that entire squad of officers just made my heart sink. I knew there was no way I'd take them all out, but I still tried desperately to when that red eye vision came up.
The game as a whole story wise didn't do anything for me....except the last scene showing Noble Six fighting off the elites on his own. A brutal way to die, considering no one was there to even witness it, unlike the deaths of the other squadmates.
@atomic_dumpling: I don't think so. Kerrigan being healed in addition to the protoss prophecies creates a lot of tension for the games to come, because it leaves you with the question of how they are going to stop the Xel' Naga if she is not in Zerg form, yet she is technically also not dead and still a pretty powerful psychic so you never know.

Point taken. Still, in the original SC the revelation that she turned gooey was the greatest thing ever. The eventual healing - well, not so much because it's to be expected right from the moment Jimmy looks at that picture in the bar. Maybe I am just disappointed that Blizzard took the obvious route this time.

Um I don't know what that is doing in here since it was not sad... it was actually a happy ending... But anyways, it was awesome since its not like she was the main threat, eventually she would have become a miniboss compared to the xel naga which would have sucked, so better resigns from her badassery rather than she gets overshadowed.
The way Emil's story ends in NIER was pretty sad, I really didn't like him at first but all the crazy shit that he ends up doing made me sympathize with him. His final sentence was pretty depressing. There was also the Popla and Devola death scene, Oh, and the king of Faceade wedding and everthing with Kaine...Man NIER was messed up!

This.
@Dancrane play all the endings and perhaps the truth will set you free of your sadness. There's more to the story than the first ending. :p
Emil. He wasn't a great character, still his death stroke a cord in my soul.
Easily Red Dead Redemption. One of the only games that I have ever cried over. @EVO: I'm pretty sure people include those last two missions as the ending...
@stoodspoon: After playing Heavy Rain in one sitting and taking on the final scene at 5am, I just didn't have the reflexes at that point to do anything.
Ethan was shot to ribbons in front of his son after the girl (sorry, its be so long since I played I can't remember names) failed to inform him of what lay outside, the detective fell to a gruesome death and Shelby got away with it all.
Words can't describe the crushing feeling I had going to sleep after that.
Some pretty screwed up stuff happens to that bunch, particularly Emily. Also, the first time I reached that final boss fight and you have to guide York/Zack through that long staircase, he was so low on health that he was limping the entire damn time, making it inadvertently depressing in its own right.
Also, the way Shinjiro's Social Link ended in Persona 3 Portable got me down, not because I couldn't see it all coming, but...
Shinji managed to up and die before I could find that watch to unlock level 10 of his Social Link. It was ironically poignant and I almost thought Atlus programmed it that way on purpose so you couldn't actually finish it. Heh.
