The ones that immediately come to mind:
-Sephiroth killing Aeris in Final Fantasy VII
-There’s this ship captain in the very first God of War who ends up being swallowed by a Hydra along with Kratos. At some point, the ship captain has clawed his way to the top and is nearly able to escape the Hydra’s mouth, if only Kratos would lend him a hand. Kratos lifts him up and dude’s all “thank the gods you came back to save me!”. Then Lratos steals the key from around his neck and just throws him back down the Hydra’s throat for no reason lol
That one definitely leaned a bit more to the comedic side just because it was so cartoonishly over the top. Still dark though.
-Killing Paarthunax. If you’ve never played Skyrim, there’s this dragon who’s a total bro. He helps you build up your dragon shouting skills and gives you guidance throughout the story. There’s this faction who wants all dragons dead and they task you with the mission to kill this dude. If you do, you end up killing an innocent bro and absorbing his soul. Pretty ****ed up.
-The Kendo Gun Shop owner’s zombie daughter. In the Resident Evil 2 Remake you run into a gun shop owner whose young daughter is clearly infected and about to turn. The little girl asks for her mommy and the dad says “I told you mommy’s asleep.. let’s go inside and I’ll put you to sleep too”.
-Finding out how the fayth sacrifice themselves to become the final aeon to defeat Sin
-Joel’s daughter’s death and waking up to the little boy having turned in the middle of the night in The Last of Us
-Anything to do with uncovering the truth about Ted Faro in Horizon: Zero Dawn. If you haven’t played this one, it’s a long ass story. To try to sum it up as quickly as possible, the world is ending after this guy Ted Faro created some machines that were corrupted and began feeding on any and all biological organisms. They were out of control and couldn’t be stopped so they crested the Zero Dawn protocol to basically restart civilization hundreds of years after everything was wiped out on the Earth’s surface. They had the greatest minds get together to preserve humanity’s science, art, etc. Ted Faro ends up sabotaging the process which leads to humanity basically having to restart civilization with zero knowledge of the previous world. He’s a huge a-hole.
