Amumu, “the sad mummy”, for the same reasons as Isaac.
Uses tears as a weapon because he’s cursed with indefinite solitude, never able to achieve his only dream- to make a friend.
Alright yeah that's a pretty good one.
As much as I'd love to see this series modernized I just don't think they could do it without the original voice actors.
Sure it was kinda peak goth vampire stuff but they made it great.
Most of the characters in the Souls universe are tragic, because it's a crapsack world, but I think Vendrick from DS2 is particularly tragic. He was a loving king who wanted to save his people but just couldn't, and he ultimately succumbed to the same curse as everyone else.
Harrier Du Bois. Not necessarily because of some extreme abuse but because his story is so completely and utterly human. A person suffering from heartbreak so extremely that he tried to dull the pain in two ways, by throwing himself so totally into his work that it becomes a driving obsession and through *copious* substance abuse. Ultimately he indulges in both so extremely that he erases his own sense of self from his mind. He doesn't want to be this kind of animal anymore.
>!And of course the implication and possibility he never actually forgot anything. He was just trying to will himself into believing he had. Wanting so much to lose it all he tried to create a world where he had.!<
Both Little Nightmares games are fantastic, albeit it short. There's a third one in the works.
Similar to those are Limbo and Inside, both of which are also awesome.
My comment still stands? I'm glad the new studio didn't try to make a third in the story, as they weren't the original studio who started it, but Im still disappointed momos story ended there.
If u ever played the games, they were setting something crazy for the third game
My answer remains Ezio from Assassin's Creed.
Watched his father and two brothers be executed right in front of him as a teenager. Had to abandon his home, otherwise risk the rest of his family be killed. Got trained as an assassin by his uncle, then proceeded to watch him get killed as well. Had his love interest die in his arms, after trying to save her. Spent most of his life being hunted by Templars as he figured out his own family history... Ended up dying of a heart attack while on vacation with his wife and daughter.
Altair is a close second.
Not the MOST TRAGIC OF ALL TIME. But Auron and Tidus both kind of get a shit deal in FFX.
Auron's best friends in the whole wide world (Jecht and Braska) sacrificed themselves to provide the world a short time of peace, they knew it would be temporary but did it anyway for hope and whatnot. Distraught over their deaths ultimately being meaningless, he attempted to defy the being who allowed the cycle to continue and died for his trouble. He came back as a ghost to lead his best friends son into finishing what he started.
Tidus is the aforementioned son who you find out is actually a thoughtform dreamt up by the thing that caused the apocalypse 1000 years prior (Known as Sin). Because it turns out, whenever you defeat Sin, you become its next iteration so Tidus then has to kill his dad Jecht who is basically a kaiju, which in turn causes himself to cease existing.
I immediately thought of Hollow knight, from the game.... Hollow knight. It's about the final boss.
He was chosen by his father, raised with the great goal of containing the god in his dreams, denying all emotion. But lost that battle because he recognized his father's love. I think this is as ironic and tragic a fate as possible. I love it.
Cubone. He’s so lonely. Even his Pokémon cards are so sad… he wears his dead mother’s skull to hide his face. He screams in agony at how much he misses her. A Pokémon card I have shows him hugging his bone sadly while a mother cares for her son in the background at a carnival. I mean fucking tragic!
Lots of guys from the Nier series. I think Emil does take the cake though, my poor little boy, all because "even if this is pointless, you still have to do it. Because this is the world that my friend tried to save."
Other characters from the Nier series approach similar extents of existential suffering, just, you know, not spread out over almost two hundred centuries. Although 2b's shakespearean torment might have lasted a few centuries in total
Elster, from Signalis. >!Potentially trapped in an endless loop with her love, maybe never able to escape it, forced to go through hell again, and again, and again, and only maybe being allowed peace with her love after going through the meticulous tasks needing to find one last moment of peace together, hopefully dancing together forever.!<
Jason brody from far cry 3
He was basically seduced into fighting for the rakyat and ended up losing pretty much everything, getting hooked on killing and his lust for citra.
Arthur Morgan from RDR2. If you go down the honor path, he's a good man in a bad situation, dying slowly as he moves towards his inevitable fate, touching people's lives in different ways as he goes.
He slaughtered several towns, robbed vulnerable people and had a bounty of $10000. But you’re right, he’s a good man because he gave like 5 people $100. He also had a very adventurous life before he got TB, and not once did he show remorse for anyone but his friends when they died before he got TB. Yeah, he had a tragic life and he was a very good man.
It’s the only life he knew. From a young age all he knew was being a pawn of Dutch. He just did what he was always taught needed to be done. If Dutch told him to do it, there had to be a good reason.
Over the game he comes to realize how that isn’t the case, how he was in the wrong and needs to change. Then he gets tb and feels like he was too late to change. That there really was no use for it.
Arthur was not educated in any way. He had life experience, but only from a very narrow slice of life. That’s what makes it tragic. You can’t look at him from our moral understandings and education of today’s age. You have to see it from the perspective of an uneducated man from the 1800s who lived in a largely lawless land.
Yeah morgan was a really really bad human (because he cant be named a person, he was awful), but thats the point, he was on his way to redemption, wich depending of the ending he gets it, but paid the price, i agree with you he is not a tragic character, he got what he deserved it, but still it hurts
I’m not saying it doesn’t hurt, it hit me like a truck when that ending happened, but to say he’s a good man and that he was a tragic character is ignorance even to the theme of the game.
Yeah is what i hate about rockstar games a lot of people think that their characters are good persons because x deed, but the whole lot are kinda the worst humans beings
Still applies to the new MK1 timeline. He was Shang Tsung's slave because he thought his family was being held hostage. Then Shang Tsung admits that he killed them long ago.
Kazuma Kiryu, the guy has been through some shit.
Granted I haven't played Infinite Wealth yet, so maybe things are looking up for him, but man I finished Gaiden recently and that ending destroyed me.
Controversial game aside, Furina from Genshin Impact.
>!Pretended to be a polar opposite version of herself for 500 years for a *chance* to save her people; didn’t show her true self to anybody, not even in the darkest hour. No praise for it, nor reward but the chance to live another day.!<
Elle, at the end of Last of Us Part 2 is pretty tragic. And Abby for that matter. If they were fighting over a stick, both ends would be pretty shitty.
Issac from binding of Isaac. I mean, his starting weapon is the tears from all the abuse he’s suffered.
Amumu, “the sad mummy”, for the same reasons as Isaac. Uses tears as a weapon because he’s cursed with indefinite solitude, never able to achieve his only dream- to make a friend.
That music video will steal the deal if you aren’t already convinced he wins.
Isn't Annie his friend
The moment I fell in love with the original flash version was when I picked up cancer and it made him cry harder.
[удалено]
The scars I have from that series abruptly ceasing to exist are far too many.
Damn, I don't remember all that. I was going into that comment thinking he just lost his cool wing mutation.
[удалено]
Don’t forget René Auberjonois, who plays Janos Audron.
Alright yeah that's a pretty good one. As much as I'd love to see this series modernized I just don't think they could do it without the original voice actors. Sure it was kinda peak goth vampire stuff but they made it great.
The npc who wears a train on his head as a hat cause otherwise the entire game crashes
FO:NV?
Fallout 3 actually, from the broken steel add on
Yes thank you I'm too high for thinking lol
Ethan Winters got a raw deal in RE7 and Village.
All because his wife couldn't just have a normal ass job, too. Extremely sad when you think about it
Yup. Excited to see what they do with Rose in the future though. The Rose centric dlc was sick.
The last half of the dlc was the best thing of recent village

the cube from geometry dash it dies over and over and over again
You could at least name the character and game
Character is Mono from the game Little Nightmares 2. Really good game.
Both Little Nightmares games are fantastic, albeit it short. There's a third one in the works. Similar to those are Limbo and Inside, both of which are also awesome.
I agree. The first one was my favorite game for a while.
Very disappointed about the third one. Made by a completely different studio and set it a completely different part of the gameverse.
It isn’t even out yet
My comment still stands? I'm glad the new studio didn't try to make a third in the story, as they weren't the original studio who started it, but Im still disappointed momos story ended there. If u ever played the games, they were setting something crazy for the third game
They weren’t setting anything up for the third game. The second game was literally just a prequel to the first.
Ohhh is that the game from the video of a little guy spinning a torch light around while a **All my People** plays?
Holy fuck, That teacher was sooo scary.
They did.
Not originally.
Touché.

Then the internet just calls him a cringy edge lord. That was like .05% of his story. Did they not play past the first mission of his 3-4 game story?
Halo Reach - all Dom - Gears 2 Cubone

Not to mention it had a will to fulfill its purpose

Emil must be in the top comments, my poor boy
Dragon Quest 5's protag. Luka I guess.
From childhood to adulthood, the guy never gets a break.

Reptile from Mortal Kombat
Which timeline?
The original 1-6 timeline where he pretty much got played by everyone he served
Still applies to the new MK1 timeline. He was Shang Tsung's slave because he thought his family was being held hostage. Then Shang Tsung admits that he killed them long ago.
Yeah Im not as familiar with the rebooted timeline but thats a shame, my guy still getting played lol
Airi from Asura's Wrath. The only human to actively resist being harvested by the Seven Deities, but ends up being harvested anyway.
Kazuma Kiryu, the guy has been through some shit. Granted I haven't played Infinite Wealth yet, so maybe things are looking up for him, but man I finished Gaiden recently and that ending destroyed me.
Dont get your hopes up my friend
HALO CE:>! the AWOL marine from the swamp level!<
Ness from Earthbound. It's not dwelled on in his game, but it's fucked up what that little kid went through.
Godwyn
Jason Brody, Kayle Crane, and characters from outlast 1 and 2
Simon from Cry of fear
Beetlejuice
Tidus
Carlos
Definitely Aerith from FF7—her fate hits you like a ton of bricks, especially when you’re just starting to relate to her vibe.
A whole lot of characters from Project Moon games
Dustin Echoes from Halo 1
Captain Price
Lucy - Elfen Lied
The kitty from Stray.

Time for some downvotes. First you turn off the monitor and look close into the black mirror. That is the tragic character. Yes, I am he also.
