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.

The ending of the Walking Dead season 1. I made Clementine shoot Lee....

And Specs Ops: The Line. When I realized we had killed dozens of innocent civilians and I saw their skin burnt off, it killed me inside, even if it was "just a game".

Maybe the reason why you felt that way was because even though you know this particular case happened just in a game, similar things happen in real life too.

Baseball Stars was a NES game by SNK in 1989. You could create your own team, with players starting off as terrible and after many hundreds of games you can upgrade their abilities and make a good team. I had done that (probably thousands of hours), and one day my brother tripped over the controller cable and caused the game to come out of the console while I was playing it. Something must have gotten shorted because the save game memory was erased and all of my progress was lost. Nooooooooooooo :( I was so disappointed. It was crushing.

I guess what he/she meant is that their saddest moment is when they finish the game? Just guessing.

The ending of Chrono Trigger, since it signaled the end of a great game.

The ending of Terranigma, because it's a massive tearjerker.

Dying Light, last moments of the intro scene when one of the two people who save you gets killed just a moment after saving you. Not my saddest one, but surely one that made me feel sad and actually more committed and eager to play the game, to reveal more about what's going on and maybe learn something about the guy who saved me, I felt like I owe those people who saved me and that I must return the favor because somebody paid with his life to save mine. It was a strong feeling that didn't let me rest until I did what had to be done.

I'm a little weepy frog.
I've felt sad with a lot of moments, but my top 3 is:
3 On Life is Strange The end of the episode 3 of Life is Strange, seeing Chloe like that.
2 On Mass Effect 3 The death of my Commander Shepard... i almost cried.
1 On The Walking Dead Season 1 Lee..... i cried.

Yes, the ending of Brothers was genuinely moving. And it wasn't just a cutscene. That was some really nice design work.

I remember right now the endings of BioShock, Hatoful Boyfriend, Papo & Yo and To the Moon.
And why not, when a vampire killed Adrianne Avenicci :(

Probably the ending for Final Fantasy X - it was probably the only time I cried in a game.

It's rare enough that I remember all instances.

To the Moon, during the song.
Undertale, the final boss.
And Hatoful Boyfriend. Both the first game and the sequel, so I suppose that makes it four times.

“And then the scorpion burst into flame. A brilliant crimson glow. And by the light of his burning body, he lit up the night forever.” …I am that scorpion now. I would burn a hundred times for my friends’ happiness.

Sheesh. Maybe I'm getting sentimental in my old age, or maybe the games are simply getting better at invoking emotions. All of those employed quick mood shifts, from humor to tragedy. Which I tend to find pretty effective. ...I've never seen a movie that made me cry; I guess couple of hours isn't enough for me to get invested enough in the story.

Or maybe we were too young to understand all the emotions of the videogames.

Just finished "To the Moon" yesterday because of all of you people commenting.
IDK, slightly sad, but it's slightly more "horrifying" to me if you think of the interplay between the dreams and the actual reality there.
