** This game has Luisa, a naive young girl, who [[PlayerCharacter Marston]] begins to take a liking to, rush at three armed men with a knife to save [[LoveMakesYouDumb her love]], who is being held by the men, and get shot three times, killing her instantly. This appears to smash Martson's BerserkButton.

Weapon Of Choice is now a disambig


* There's a moment midway through ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' that involves a side character and is therefore not plot-important, but it's unexpected, unpleasant, and potentially [[TearJerker downright depressing]] nonetheless. Said side character is Cliff, a miniboss and an obvious ShellShockedVeteran who thinks Frank is Vietcong and attacks him on sight. Upon his defeat, the player is treated to a proper death scene as usual. Of course it's not until he's dying on the floor that he comes back to his senses, gives Frank a photo of his family, and explains that he went back to the war when he saw his granddaughter get devoured by the zombies. At least you can take his WeaponOfChoice (a machete) afterwards and chop off a few heads for him.

** ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'': Seeing the remnants of the Lost MC (including Johnny Klebitz himself) become shells of their former glory (because of their meth addiction) when they meet Trevor, but seeing [[spoiler: Trevor effortlessly kill arguagbly the most badass of the GTA IV protagonists with minimal effort by [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath curbstomping him enough to literally expose his brain]] and then see Ashley devastated to shit afterwards]] is worse than just a player punch; it's a player kick in the crotch. Then comes the final mission where you must choose between [[spoiler: Franklin murdering one of the two other protagonists who are his best friends at this point just to make some corrupt government officials (Steve Haines) or rich-kids happy (Devin Weston), or killing said corrupt government officials. If you chose Ending A (kill Michael) or B (Kill Trevor)]] it's a player punch and a half, because once you do that, they will be KilledOffForReal.
