That time I reset my Pokemon Emerald game when I got a shiny Mudkip. I was so focused on its nature being bad that I only noticed the purple coloring a second too late...

Prologue of The Last of Us

Also, surprised nobody has mentioned Aerith yet

Also,

holy shit this is a good answer

The bad ending to Danganronpa

The ending of Shadow of the Colossus

The Witcher 3 Empress of Nilfgaard ending. It's not really depressing, but bitersweet.

If you've ever been to Giant Bomb's Persona forums, it comes up. The ending of Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3 FES is quietly sad. In the "Journey" (main game), it ends with the MC lying in Aigis's lap as the camera pulls away to darkness. The "Answer" (epilogue game) picks up later and we learn that the MC died at the end of the main game sacrificing himself (or herself in the Vita version) for the others. The Answer then tackles the difficultly all of the surviving characters are having dealing with his death. I found it disheartening not just because of the story elements, but because the game play didn't includes the social link aspect of the main game, a component which is separates this from most other JRPG's.

Zelos' betrayal

Witcher 3: when Vesemir dies and the end of the game when you're the only person in Kaer Moren.

The ending of The Walking Dead: Season One game was pretty melancholy. The entire game itself had a seemingly solemn feel to it with some lighthearted moments that make you appreciate it even more. After finishing the game there was a moment of me just sitting in silence because of the emotional toll it took, haha.

Klonoa Door to Phantomile's depressed the hell out of me as a kid.

Raine finds her long lost (insane)mother

When the City of Heroes servers shut down.

When you're confused why Mankrik's wife quest is so vague.

When lavitz dies...

When my SWTOR guild disbanded.

The game wasn't that good but we were amazing. I should have done more to keep in contact or should have gotten us into another game.

depression doesn't exist in video games

And he went through all that trouble to steal it..

Custom Robo...his father

Harley Quinn's story line in the arkham series.....Her true love gets fatally sick then dies. has a false pregnancy, can't get her revenge on batman for the incident /can't rejoin her true love (suicide attempt).....finally has a way to have her puddin back in a way the guy kills him self and her best friend dies

Oh yeah and the piece of shit that was the recently released SW: Battlefront, LOL.
