Let's talk about something something blue.

What is the scene in a videogames that you consider the saddest moment in your gaming life (aka: where gamers cried)?

For me it was Dom's death in Gears of War 3.
Such an amazing scene after a crescendo of emotions during the first three chapters of the saga

@[email protected] The "Lone Wolf" level in #HaloReach still shakes me. Watching the last ship fly off the planet, with you intentionally left behind, on a planet overrun with Covenant aliens

It's a single moment.
you take damage in this particular mission, and for the first time in the game, a crack runs along your visor and the screen. It's eerie. Normally you just wait for your shield to recharge.

This is serious. It feels final.

The cracks grow as you fight endless waves of Covenant until your visor is too cracked to see through

Then the cutscene plays: your Spartan taking off their helmet, their face just out of frame as the camera remains looking out from your discarded helmet.

You fighting, killing, to the very last, hopelessly overrun. The scenes ends right before you're stabbed to death.

and then a time skip.

Your visor in the dirt. Your body missing. Buried. Unknown.

You died. In a #Halo game. You and your entire squad died completing the mission. But you died nonetheless.

That... yeah that shook me.

@[email protected] It's one of my favorite series of all time and my favorite shooter, flat out.

Reach is my favorite game in the series, but I'll admit i think it works so well because your team of Gen 3 Spartans are exceptional but aren't singular forces of destruction like Master Chief is.

It's a good subversion of the classic Halo formula once you know what to expect from Chief

I think Reach has the best story
