History TearJerker / DeadSpace

** What makes it even worse? [[spoiler:It didn't work.]]

** The worst part is easily during the final cutscene of the game. After reaching safety, Isaac removes his helmet and the video of Nicole once again begins to play. [[spoiler: He briefly closes his eyes for a moment, clearly in subdued anguish at seeing it knowing that she kills herself.]] Unwilling to watch it again, he turns the video off.

* Finally finding Acting Chief Engineer Jacob Temple and Dr. Elizabeth Cross, whose audio logs you've been listening to through half the game. After going through hell to find each other again [[ShootTheShaggyDog they get captured by Dr. Mercer and killed off right in front of you]]. And try as you may, you ''can't do anything to save them.''

** [[spoiler: Kendra]] rubbing salt in the wound by calling Isaac insane for [[spoiler: hallucinating]] doesn't help either.

* Finding out that [[spoiler: Nicole was DeadAllAlong]] in Dead Space. Despite being a HeroicMime, I felt quite sorry for Isaac at the part.

** What got me was the animation Isaac goes through during the revelation - even though you never see his face, his body language speaks volumes for just how badly it hits him. Even worse if you read his in-game diary: [[spoiler:he knew Nicole was dead, but kept himself in denial up until that point]]. Ouch.

* Heavy Spoilers for Severed:[[spoiler: Gabe's death in Severed. His leg is blown off and his final moments before death are fighting off a horde of Necromorphs and making damn sure his wife gets to safety before he finally dies. His final words are "I love you."]]
** Lexine's reaction is heartbreaking.
* The opening video with Nicole, while not this, adds a really huge emotional kick in the groin. Not only was her being on the ''Ishimura'' in the first place ''Isaac's doing'' (he'd encouraged her to go on the voyage because she hadn't been sure she wanted to go) and as they're talking, the video begins to cut out...and anyone who played the first game knows that communications from the ''Ishimura'' went offline a short time before the Necromorphs began slaughtering the entire ship.
* At the beginning of Chapter 13 you Ellie gets on a gunship, Isaac walks over and activates it while she's on it. Before and after he does this you can tell he doesn't want to. When Ellie realized what was happening, her words, in a teary form (yes, it sounded like she was going to cry) where "...You bastard..."
** Her ''last line'' is what got you? What about before, where she's ''begging'' Isaac [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XTvEdvB2rE&feature=player_detailpage#t=185s not to launch the ship?]]
--> '''Ellie:''' No. No! No, don't you dare, ''don't you dare launch this ship!'' ISAAC!
** Immediately after that, Isaac slumps down to the ground, and Nicole is there. They have a heartfelt conversation about how he simply can't let her go, and then:
--> '''Nicole''': Isaac. Touch me.\\
'''Isaac''': (pauses, then reluctantly stands up) ...I don't think that's a good idea.\\
'''Nicole''': Isaac, ''please''. Make us whole.\\
'''Isaac''': (looks away) I can't.
* The ending[[spoiler:, at first. You just see Isaac, alone and miserable, just waiting to die. I was so glad to see Ellie suddenly come down to rescue him just to save him from that.]]
* There's an Audio Log of a woman screaming at someone in grief-stricken rage for convincing her to come with them to The Sprawl, because she ''had to kill her own Necromorph-ized daughter''.

* In the colony, in the room where you find Neumans emergency broadcast, there is a writing on the wall. It's a plea of a woman to who ever finds it to tell her father that she had once named a certain man. Apperently she didn't wanted to leave something unsaid.
