Top 5 Saddest Death

Just like movies, there are also deaths in video games. Sometimes, the death of a certain character is so saddening that it strike deep in my heart and makes me cry. Yes, there are a few deaths in video game that actually makes me cry. So here's my top 5 list

No. 5: Death of "Motor Mouth" Chopper 

(Ace Combat 4: The Unsung War)

Why? Through his name, we know that this guy surely talks a lot. I mean he talk all the time through the game. However, during an incident, one of the crew were nearly hit by a missile and he came forward and took the missile instead. His sacrifice make it so saddening as the whole squadron did a "flight of honor" to honor his death. At the same time his conversation in the game was played one after another to remember him.

No .4: Death of Agro 

(Shadow of Colossus)

Why? In this godforsaken land where player roamed in battle to the colossal shadows, this black horse named Agro was the only company. No other human was there and so the only one that player could rely on was Agro. Believe me, he never failed and disappoints the player. However, during the final stage, in order to cross a bridge, Agro leap forward and toss player to the other side of the bridge. Doing so had cost him his life. He fell from the bridge and the sight of him getting drown by the river is so heart wrenching especially when the player remember his loyalty and all the  impossible journey that went together.

No. 3 Death of Dom

(Gears of War 3)

Why? In every war, in every battle, loyal companions are so hard to come by. Dom, your loyal sidekick sacrifices himself when he plunges a giant tank into the midst of a seemingly unwinnable battle in an attempt to sacrifice himself for the good of his friends and reunited with his deceased wife. The moment is saddening as Dom solemnly speaks to his wife and assures her that they will be together again.

No. 2 Death of Captain "Soap" Mac Tavish

(Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3)

Why? Player plays as "Soap" for Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2. During the second series, Captain Price is the player's sidekick and companion for the whole game. However it is a different case in Modern Warfare 3. The player plays as someone else and Soap is now the companion. However during mid game, player met Price and it can be seen that their relationship is. deep. Soon, when Price is on the verge of death, Soap gave his life away to save him. That moment was hysteric when Price saw Soap's dead body. It was just heartbreaking. Really heartbreaking that I actually stopped playing the for quite some time in honoring Soap's death. 

No. 1: Death of The Boss

(Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater)

Why? She is like a mentor, a teacher, and even a master. She is the one who taught the player about everything. However, in the final stage of the game, the player have to kill her as she has defected to other country. The moment when the player pull the trigger of her own weapon the echoing sound of the gunfire even turned the white flowers around the scene to red, honoring her death. Later it is revealed that she is actually sacrificing her life for the player, and the one who pulled the trigger is non other than the player. As for me, the moment I realized what I've done, time seems like it stopped and all I could say is what I've done to her, and to myself. I cried so much after I finish playing this game.
