    WRONG![Kevin Spacey]
    The significance of the Little Sisters holding your hand at the end is that they look upon you as a father and someone who rescued them for Rapture and ADAM.
    They have gathered at your bedside to see you one last time before you pass away. Any ADAM was left at the bottom of the ocean as it corrupted people.
    Jack dies, surrounded by his 'family'



    As for my saddest video game moment.
    When I bought Transformers: The Movie game
    Had I known how much pain and suffering it would cause I would have left it in the shops.

    When Mario finds out that the princess was in another castle. I really got choked up knowing that after all the bloodshed and chaos, that Mario felt defeated and broken to know that it was all in vain, 8 times in a row.. or was it 7?

    When I realized Okami was really over, and that it would in all likelihood never have a sequel.

    yeah no sequel for that beautiful game. Wii will have a port, but that doesn't excite me. I really hate when good games go unnoticed... Beyond Good and Evil, Herzog Zwei, Halo 3,

    Oooo... the part in BG&E when Jade returns to the lighthouse was definitely a tug on the heartstrings... that whole game was full of win, really. Another game without a sequel that SO deserved it...

    They intentionally put different stuff into each version of SOTE to make people buy all of them to see everything. The game took the bits of the book with Rendar in them and filled the gaps with extra stuff that he was doing while the main characters were off doing the main story.

    You know I didn't like X at all, but Yuna whistling was a great freekin moment in "Saddest Gaming" moment history.

    Oh yeah, Advent Rising, when the hero's brother dies (either time).

    I look at those scenes (both of them) and I'm like... OMG, That **** sucked, noooooooo!

    Oh, I got one. When you think you're really good at Guitar Hero III, so you crank up Dragonforce on Expert and fail at 0%.

    It made me really sad.

    First, I would like to say, as ever the defender of FF8, the ending for FF8. In particular, Laguna's scene where you see him propose to Raine, and then it shifts to the present where he's standing at her grave. All the while one of the best pieces of video game music playing.

    Also, MGS2, when Otacon acts all tough in front of Snake, and then as soon as he walks into the hallway, breaks down crying about his sister. Truly a human moment.

    Also, in Chrono Cross, when you use Masa and Mune to go into Kids mind. You save her after she whitnessess everyone she cares about dying, then asks if your going to leave her. No matter what you say, it plays out the same, you give her a hug and dissappear in her arms, leaving her alone in the middle of the night on top of a hill overlooking her burning home. Again, the music playing really adds to the emotion in this scene.

    FF10's ending. Really sad- as long as you keep FF10-2 out of your mind. Yuna trying to grab Tidus, Tidus wrapping his arms around her, even though you know she can't feel it.

    Finally, FF6- Celes jumping off the cliff, bascially in such despair over losing her serrogent Grandfather, and being left, as far as she knows, completely alone in the world. Again, great music accompanying this scene.

    I really don't like Final Fantasy 8 in pretty much ALL aspects.

    But Laguna was a great character, and I have to totally agree with that sentiment. That part was heart wrenching.
