Look here. There's an entire listing of them.

Some of them are for surprisingly reasonable prices. Most of them don't require PayPal. Look at all of them. Go bid. Now.

Well, she falls over, starts talking about something, and then you shoot her. Sounds flaccid in text, but it was pretty powerful the first time through.
Ah, who cared about that part. It was about a bunch of stupid stuff. By last scene, I mean the very last scene, in the graveyard. That was good stuff. Although I thought the delivery of the narration was kind of weak and detracted from it slightly (especially on repeat viewings).

I'm with CM, the separated minds of Gamma and the birdy/ flicky was that element that made the ending really sad (that, and Gamma's theme song). It was like if every badnik since minute zero in the Sonic franchise could be like Gamma... poor guys. I had some problems when I tried to start Gens and play any Sonic title without destroyin' any tragically-conceived badnik.

Totally right.

Now that one was really something, he pissed you off all the way through the game as it developed, and right out of the blue he discovers he was framed, he gets beaten up, and then he helps you without any second thoughs, only to fall exhausted and you can only leave him behind...
The same as with Gamma, really touching.

As with Aerith's death, I wasn't moved a bit, it almost looked fake and not-shocking as if you could guess what was going to happen next. The really shocking moments were when you saw Jenova's body without it's head and when Cloud reappeared in coma/ vegetative state due to the lifestream contamination... do we really need to use the spoiler thing? do anyone here not played FFVII yet, and thinks of playing it in the near future?

No, I though that also when I first saw that tremendous shit the first time.

I voted Emerl. Gamma's was definitely sad, but I think Sonic Battle actually had stronger writing than Sonic Adventure. The way Emerl's death really bothered everybody, even Sonic, gave it a much greater impact on the scene.

I mean, I guess that kind of happened in SA2 when Shadow died, but Emerl's death was written much better. In SA2, everybodies like, "Shadow died. But hey, we're still alive! Let's go home." - almost like that episode of Seinfeld where George gets the news his wife dies, and the first words out of his mouth are, "You guys wanna go get some coffee?"

I voted for Gamma. The ticking clock in the actions stages caused much of Gamma’s game play to involve a frantic rush to continually prolong his (her?) life, which made his ending even more moving.

Maria’s death had the potential to be moving, but it was executed poorly. Many of the really saddening details (such as her illness) didn’t even come to light until the strategy guide was released.

Look here! Not only is it complete, but you can pay with a check or money order. So now you have no excuse, go bid on it!
I am currently the highest bidder. This is good; I've been meaning to play SH for a while now.

I voted for Shadow's death scene. It was the first (and supposed to be last) noble act of his entire life. It also officially cemented his status as the undisputed coolest Sonic character ever. Then they had to screw it up by bring him back to life.

Not that I mind him being alive, but I wish they wouldn't have given him the random amnesia complex (What is he Cloud?) and not explain how he was alive. That pissed me off.

I also agree with BlazeHedgehog. What the hell was up with after Shadow died? What, nobody cares that he just killed himself to save the world? Nobody? Nobody's got Shadow's back? Everyone would have been sad if Sonic died, but not Shadow. Kill! :evil:

But that's just me.

Don't you know? Right before he died, he used the most powerful technique of the Chaos Emeralds: Chaos Deus Ex Machina.

The time a friend of mine accedently deleted all of my save data in S&K3.

Otherwise, Gamma gets my vote.

Shadow's ending in SA2 would've been up there if he hadn't come back. No one seems to have the balls to kill off a major character and leave him/her for dead these days.
Yeah, Flash II got back from the grave in the whole DC infinite crisis stuff? or they keep him dead?
