1, I know this was a thread already though it's likely to have been deleted
2, the topic needs spoiler tags

[Matey]

I meant "and."

uhh that doesnt answer anything

do you mean sad moments that have occured in a video game or anime eg. blah blah dying in blah blah.
or do you mean sad moments in the history of video games and anime such as when company blah disbanded, or when artist blah died.

[darkzi]

and rosebud was the sled..but ya I agree with ya abyss

[zanemalindeal]

That insanely long wait for the death of Karou Nagisa in Evangelion. Not Tabris' death, but the wait itself.

Sony thinking they could surpass the 360 and releasing the PS3.

When May gets reclaimed in Hand Maid May

Microsoft thinking they could make a Halo game on their own with Halo Wars

When Bee in Naruto started trying to Rhyme

Sony lying to us about continuing to release PS2 games for the next 10 years only to stop that same year.

Dragon Ball Z

Game Cube

Dragon Ball GT

No core gamer or even real classic games for the Wii

Lelueche's death in Code Geass

[darkzi]

ohh but the ps3 did...the only game that xbox is big on is the halo games..everything else is multi console

[zanemalindeal]

Gotta disagree, but i'll add this to give more reason. PS3 costing $700.

Lelueche's death in Code Geass

spoiler:hate to break it to you but he is still alive. there is a bit after the credits with him and c2 in the back of a hay wagon going into the countryside

Don't tell anyone, but the PS3 never cost any more than $599 USD. Lets keep that between us, ok? What sucks is the removal of PS2 compatibility, and then OtherOS installation.

The ending of Shenmue II, its a cliffhanger ending....that hasn't been resolved in almost 10 years.

Unresolved cliffhanger endings in general

[zanemalindeal]

she is talking to him

I just finished it yesterday. He is not physically there.

I think this falls under the same argument of who beat who on Way of the Dragon
you both can be right just depends on the version

actually Duke Nukem Forever is coming out next year, they had it at PAX.

Agreed. They've come out with exact release dates for it atleast 5 times now and it's already been completely canceled once already

[jinzo64]

it's a sad moment when a game comes with a tutorial dvd mario galaxy 2

[darkzi]

the tutorial of Patapon 2....I think I would do guitar hero on expert blindfolded and say that is easier then the perfectionist Patapon 2

You can post any of those.

[Kira2521]

The end of Code Geass when lelouch died and it showed you why he was such a hitler

[Shuiia]

Saddest moment in gaming: hmm that's a tough one but Metal Gear games always get to me even though every metal gear game since Metal Gear Solid is token (except for Metal Gear Solid 3) but yeah probably then Sniper Wolf's death.

As for anime: that's even tougher XD probably when Hideo Kuze dies at the end of Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. 2nd Gig

[Trilobiteer]

Trying to avoid spoilers:

Halo 2 - "Don't make a girl a promise, if you know you can't keep it"

Halo 3 - Both control room scenes and before and after the end credits (The entire end sequence).

Gears of War 2 - When Dom find's what he's been searching for, also when you think something bad happened but it really didn't (during the end sequence).

Fallout 3 - The Purifier scene midway through the main quest.

Call of Duty 4 - The end scene.

Modern Warfare 2 - When you and a certain spirit go up in flames.

Code Geass - The end when Kallen is staring at Lelouch's picture and in general most of the moments they have together. Oh and the part with Lelouch and Rolo in the forest/****pit was touching (and I for one hated him).

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Endless Eight for Yuki.

nah nah nah. If you wanna go Ghost in the Shell. Saddest thing was when the Taichicomas kicked it.

[abyssion1337]

The ending of The Iron Giant was really sad, though it was also a crowning moment of awesome

[XxFabiGBxX]

hmm, this isnt a good anime, but it has a very sad moment, "BLACK CAT", Saya's death..

[LOLWTFBBQ]

the last 5 minutes of Toradora! burned a hole in me it was so good

[BladeGraffiti]

a recent one would be from Angel Beats! *spoiler* highlight for view: when otonashi confesses his love to kanade right before she fades away, twin waterfall tears man!

[jinzo64]

when sagas mothers piano that saga keeps and plays on in the local music shop is sold.

[ThePsychoGamer]

Lets see When Alice dies in Shadow Hearts,bad ending

The 360, where to begin, the lackluster library of exclusives, Most of Microsoft business practices concerning the console (I guess it was clever to release a bunch of exclusives RPGs near the beginning, even if only two turned out to be any good... both of witch where timed exclusives, but just riding the momentum is really making 36o owners feel like there investment), defective at launch, missuse of Rare (Dammit MS where the true next entry in the Banjo Kazooie series)

Cross Edge, This as got one of the worse RPGs I've played. In contrast, the hollow up Trinity Universe was quite good

Blue Dragon, another outstandingly bad game

the motion control fad

Nintendo's third party support

Companies attempts to keep the PS2 alive (I know it's the greatest console ever made, but it time to let it go, let the PS2 rest in peace)

Magikano, the fact that such a putrid thing exists is sad


The Yakuza series, it's sad that so little have played these great games (okay so the first one was actually pretty bad in everything but story, but Yakuza 2 and 3 where really great games)

Deadly Premention, sad on two counts, not a lot of people played this great game, money that would have been used to port the PS3 version was instead used to rewrite the story because it was to much like the show Twin Peaks.

Most of the anime based on games (admittedly I like Disagaea)

well that's all for tonight

[jinzo64]

thats a lot of things
Dragonball gt

[Shuiia]

nah nah nah. If you wanna go Ghost in the Shell. Saddest thing was when the Taichicomas kicked it.

Oh yeah forgot about that, oh yeah most definitely. For season one when Batou's tachikoma sacrificed itself and as well as season two where they sacrificed their own A.I. Satalite. That just brought me like within 2 seconds of crying T-T

[darkzi]

not having a legend of dragoon 2, face it duke nukem is back might as well have rpgfans have their legend back too

[Kajimura]

i found myself starting to cry at the end of parasyte (manga exclusive) but then everything went happy :)



Code Geass - The end when Kallen is staring at Lelouch's picture and in general most of the moments they have together. Oh and the part with Lelouch and Rolo in the forest/****pit was touching (and I for one hated him).

thank you, those were great and sad scenes, i hated rolo to though lol

[Arc Eda Ricolne]

I would say the ending of Eternal Sonata and Berserk because it hasn't continued in the anime.

[jinzo64]

the fact that azumanga,lucky star and school rumble all have ends

[LOLWTFBBQ]

I still cant figure out why people like those shows, but thats off-topic.

its sad that so many games use the Unreal Engine, and the source engine for that matter, whats even sadder is that the developers dont even feel like upgrading them.

what else is sad? Call of Duty on the wii, and pretty much all M-rated games for the wii.

[Backmask]

Mad World was pretty fun.

[abyssion1337]

I found Madworld to be boring, but House of the Dead: Overkill was delightfully camp, it's sort of like if Robert Rodriguez suddenly decided to start designing games

Wtf are you talking about, I get an update on steam about every week and half because they're updating the Source engine, also what's wrong with using them? The unreal and Source engines are fantastic tools for game design that cut costs immensely while still allowing developers to fully realize their vision.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

I just think the source engine is cheap and should be upgraded (and when I say upgraded I mean make a whole new one), yes I am prejudice against it, but I guess its just cuz I dont like valve, and often alot of the updates are for bugs, much like alot of other engines. if only they would focus on making games instread of patching that underdeveloped engine... but I dont know much about valve so I shouldnt talk smack. I probably dislike the unreal engine because its overused and the #1 competition to the CryEngine.

Madworld looked kinda funny actualy, but it might give me a seizure.

I forgot about HOTD:O, interesting game. its like an arcade shooter but with gore and the most curse words of any game on record

[jinzo64]

i prefered mad world to the house of the dead of overkill.
overkill was just that and the end was just a bit to weird for my liking.
mad world was a realy short game with very little replay value.

p.s people like shows like azumanga,lucky star and school rumble because emulate real life events but also slightly exagerate them at the same there just awsome

[Kajimura]

i found lusts death in fma to be somewhat sad (by the way, im only on volume 23 so FFS dont spoil if for me i beg you guys) oh yeah, and hughes's death was sad to :'(

[jinzo64]

in the end they all die.

[Matey]

damn "LOLWTFBBQ" your new sig is just so awesome... cant help but watch it again and again.

[zanemalindeal]

the day we find out the whole Duke Nukem forever Demo was all they will ever make.

[jinzo64]

sad point for ichigo his bankai's negated by aizens finger. pwnd or what?

[ThePsychoGamer]

It's sad that people will still defend the 360 (even the co founder of Valve has started criticizing the platform)

[Chillpalazzo]

It's sad that people will still defend the 360 (even the co founder of Valve has started criticizing the platform)
I would disagree with you but that would also prove your point.

[Scorchedenigma]

instead of defend ask why. that wont prove his point

[Xalorith]

Grave of the Fireflies: Sad all over, but mainly Setsuko's death...

[abyssion1337]

You know, it's not really possible to factually prove the 360 sucks, as much as it pains me to say it (I don't think there's any confusion that I hate the damn thing for a multitude of reasons, that I've said many times)

[jinzo64]

i recently got a 360 theres a couple of issues but for i wanted to play it was cheaperr to get a 360 than a ps3.
all i realy wanted was bio shock 1 and 2,ff13 and batman archam assylum.
also wanted to mirrors edge

[animemental1]

THE DEATH OF ROLL THE STAMPEDE! A sad day it was for us all.

[SleeplessPanda]

Outlaw Star, Harry MacDougall . . What a tragedy.

[abyssion1337]

I don't think Master Asia's death has been mentioned yet, though this is a really old thread and I didn't double check


oops sorry this isn't the original thread on this subject we had, that was a while ago and it might not exist anymore

[TheDmon]

in code geass when Shirley died from Rolo in Code Geass and Princess Cornelia didnt die

[Leef]

The end of Haven: Call of the King was the worst ending I ever experienced.
If you ever played it you know what I mean.

[Ranma]

Fushigi Yuugi Ep 26....if i remember the episode correctly...

[scarmullet]

The 360 has only enough power to run many of its 1st party games at 576p, unscaled to 720p. Now if the game doesn't have alot of action going on, like an XBLA title, it can get 720 or 1080 natively. The PS3 can get 1080+ natively. But who cares which one is more powerful, get the one with the games you want to play. I got my ps3 for MGS4, DMC4, and many other games. Now I am glad I still have it because of PSgroove.

Ok, enough of that


Back in 1994 when the CEO of Atari threatened to sue Sony if they released the PS1 under $300 claiming it would fall under price dumping laws because the Atari Jaguar was still more expensive yet less powerful than the PS1 (64bit my ass). They released it at $299 and Atari didn't sue. THAT was a sad moment in gaming history.

Here is another one. Bernie Stollar (Former CEO of Sega) said "RPGs will never sell in an American Market" in an attempt to defend his decision to not localize a lot of Saturn blockbusters which were keeping the Saturn ahead of the PlayStation in Japan, later that year Final Fantasy VII came out and proved Bernie Stollar wrong, he still stands by what he said to this day.


The Apple Bandai Pippin, enough said.

[XelaisPWN]

Personally, I have all three, and I think it was a dumb idea to get 'em. Most good games are already on both PS3 and 360, so getting both was just stupid of me. The Wii doesn't do anything for me except play Netflix when I don't care if it's in HD, the last game I played on the thing was SSBB.

As for sad moments, I cried after I bought Halo 3 ODST. Such a waste of money... T_T

[jinzo64]

the end of lucky star.
it ended.

[animemental1]

Technically, I consider the last episode to be the OVA. Still, it was an okay series.

[jinzo64]

thats true. the ova was cool
but it still ended i wanted more.
same with azumanga.

The Wii looks like its getting some stellar titles comming next year like the Donkey Kong Country, the new Kirby, new Zelda, and of course Epic Mickey.I might just buy a wii now.

[animemental1]

True. Wii's starting to come back on track.

[jinzo64]

yeah skyward sword is going to be awsome.

[scarmullet]

Well hopefully by then, there'll be a Wii emulator on the PS3. A Saturn emulator has been attempted with mediocre results, the same results as PC versions due to the saturns architecture. I'd laugh if that came to be, A wii emulator on PS3. That would be like the Colecovision's expansion module #1.

[jinzo64]

no no no thats just wrong you can't do that.
it's evil, evil and wrong.

[scarmullet]

Its only a matter of time, we have the controllers suitable for a Wii Emulator, just gotta wait for someone to knab the source code for Dolphin and start porting it.

[jinzo64]

i still don't like the idea of you people porting wii games to the ps3.
if you want wii games bye a wii.

[scarmullet]

i still don't like the idea of you people porting wii games to the ps3.

Not porting the games themselves, just the dolphin emulator (Which already has multicore support) odds are, it'll be set up where you just play the wii iso off the internal PS3 HD.

[jinzo64]

i'm kinda lost.
why port the emulater how would it help?

[scarmullet]

i'm kinda lost.
why port the emulater how would it help?

The emulator would allow the PS3 to "think" it is a Wii, thats how emulation works. by doing this, the execution of wii software on non-wii hardware such as PCs or PS3s would be possible...to an extent.

[jinzo64]

so if the ps3 thought it was a wii.
you could play wii games on the ps3.evil

[scarmullet]

so if the ps3 thought it was a wii.

Yes, to an extent. Emulation is just software, it has limitations usually based on the need for specific chip sets, which is why emulation of the Sega Saturn has been difficult. Maybe software emulation is enough for the Wii on PS3. A guy got a Dreamcast emulator running at almost full speed using only one of the 8 cores in the cell processor with software emulation. The other option would be total virtualization meaning running the Wiis operating system on the PS3 along side the PS3 OS for better compatibility, but that would be illegal and difficult to do.

[jinzo64]

oh i think i get it now like you can download emulaters for p.cs so you play older games like n64 games.

[scarmullet]

oh i think i get it now like you can download emulaters for p.cs so you play older games like n64 games.

Right, and people are trying to port those same emulators for play on PS3

[jinzo64]

sorry i was being a total noob.

[Riaki]

LOL jinzo is now as slow as a panda O__O and jinzo is a monster that cancels all trap cards *drool*

[zanemalindeal]

If you're Emulating the Wii OS for the purpose of Wii games then you're screwing Nintendo out of well earned money. If you're emulating the Wii OS for the download and play of a N64 game or other older Nintendo system then you might as well just get the specific emulator needed for the game. And besides to Emulate the Wii OS you'd basically have to write the entire source code from scratch, which will cause issues much like mentioned with the game cube unless of course you are a professional programmer who's dealt with the PS3 OS enough to understand it's code and how to add the Wii OS without screwing things up. There's also to consider the Blue Ray player. You'd have to program that to be able to read a Wii formated Disc, again not an easy thing to do. And then for my random hate. I don't know why you'd want to do that any way because the PS3 sucks. PC is more capable and better in the first place and if you must have it on a TV then find an emulator for the 360 its simpler especially when you consider that its Microsoft who makes the 360 so therefore the emulation wouldn't be too much more difficult on the 360 than it would on the PC

[abyssion1337]

I'd disagree with the PS3 sucking, and yes I'm a huge PC gamer: It's really the 360 that sucks, it's trying too hard to accomplish things that can only really be done on a PC (I could go on but is really the only thing that needs to be said in this context) at least the ps3's game base is mostly composed of games that you either can't do well on a pc (fighting games will always be better if you have a controller of some kind so you may as well make them for a console) or are games that are traditionally not released for pc (JRPG's, TRPG's and SRPG's)

Also, why bother with the herculean task of making a wii emulater: THE WII ISN'T THAT EXPENSIVE

[jinzo64]

ps3 move is sad looks just like a wii mote and nunchuck.
everytime i see i get annoyed

I don't want to start this argument again. So all i'm gonna say is that i agree with the point that the Wii isn't that expensive

[jinzo64]

thats true the wii isn't expensive.
it's cheap as chips.

[Backmask]

It acts like a Wiimote and Nunchuck, but looks more like a dildo.
