Well, I got a little depressed of doing nothing this days and resume Battleblock Theater which I left incomplete some time ago. The thing is that the end of the game made me feel extreme sadness for some reason. I wouldn't say that's my saddest moment, but it made me think of it. So I open this discussion to know which is your saddest moment of a videogame.

+1 and it wasn't even just at the actual ending but mostly when they did the character decision recap. It really hits you hard when you see the consequences of every major action you performed during the game.

"The last time we saw The Walking Dead it was lying in a pool of blood, waiting to rise again as some sort of brain-hungry second season. The bastard game hadn't so much jerked the tears from my eyes as attached wild horses to the ducts and had the muscular beasts run toward the horizon for a couple of hours."

This, Probably
DAMMIT SEPHIROTH!

In actual fact... no idea. Almost always relating to character deaths, I guess. Like, as mentioned above, end of TWD S1. When...
Clementine shoots Lee, rather than letting him becoming a zombie, or does, and either way ends up leaving him, after all he did for her.

Or... the entire To the Moon game.

Even if it was free it would still be a waste of time. It set itself up to be some sort of murder mystery and ultimately failed on that.

the story is just one of the best in video games history

First of all I liked the game and it really has some amazing set pieces (like this battlefield with the giants) that I really wish had some backstory even thought it wouldn't fit into the game.
But the Story of the game is (sry if something is wrong but it's already some time ago I played it) two brothers are on a journey to find something to cure their father.
It's as simple and original as the typical Hero saves the princess plot.

The Cat Lady is still so underrated. A fine example that you don't even need polish or gameplay to create something that sticks with you. Shame the creator hasn't tried to make a new project, because if they did a kickstarter they'd definitely get funded for it.

True. It is definitely one of the best games I've ever played. The writing and the story are so strong that every other aspect, for unusual as it is, can be overshadowed by how much you can attach to the characters.

But the dev is working on a remake of Downfall, his previous game, featuring Joe Davis (that appears on The Cat Lady). He don't speak much about it tho. Only recently (January 20th) he released a trailer, so maybe that is why you haven't heard about it yet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkFfFS4bzB4

The original didn't had voice acting and the style was a bit different. But the weird art, atmosphere and fantastic soundtrack were already there. I was going to play it just as I finished The Cat Lady, but then I've heard about the remake on progress, so I decided to wait.

The new will totally fit in The Cat Lady design.

Here is a video of beginning of the first.

Alright, I know that it sounds silly, but the first time I played Bioshock Infinite. When I finally understood the ending, I felt sad for some reason.

SPOILER ALERT
I think it's the thought of the entire world you played in, the characters you met, Elizabeth as she is, yourself as a person who discovered so many strange thing about you and your "pasts", all of this vanishes. It won't exist anymore. It actually technically never existed. I don't know, I guess I just didn't expect it and it really made me think.

I wish I could feel the same, but since the ending of the previous episode, the thought of "well, here is a segment that will contribute nothing to the plot" killed most of the potential drama for me.

You have to kill the final boss at least once, even if you didn't kill ANYONE ELSE through the entire thing. I didn't want to kill, well, you know, because he didn't want to fight really. I died like a dozen times before I finally killed him just because I didn't want to attack.

Professor Layton a kid's game? I am not saying it is not, but I am sure that the puzzles would be appealing to all ages. I have played all(!) of them, but since there are so many (and I didn't have infinite time), I was downloading some save files in order to play only the puzzles. Though the story was quite interesting in the 2 3DS Games I have played from start to finish.
