(GoW3 Spoiler!!!) The only time I ever legit cried during a game was when Dom died in GoW3. It was executed so perfectly, from the music, to the circumstances... And I wasn't even mad at Epic for killing my favorite character since it was such a worthy death for him. (GoW3 Spoiler!!!)
Yeah I don't know how to use spoiler tags on this forum.
saw that coming from the moment he puts his cog tags on that monument, but you are right, Epic executed that scene perfectly. the music was an excellent touch.
to throw my 2 cents in, the inclusion of the kid is a classic film (literary technique) to show the cost of war by using the kid as a representative of all the innocents killed by the reapers. I saw him run into the building from the balcony as i was running toward the part where you start shooting those husks. That moment struck me (as i saw it on my second playthrough) because i suddenly realised that this kid was probably out there playing or something, then 10 min later he is toast. my shep is as renegade as they come. i still believe the kid dying has value in this case because i see in shepard expression as he is flying away (i may be crazy) a sense of determination, of steel.
the scene was done well, especially the music. it was one of those scenes where you knew what was happening the moment you saw it. you were powerless but still wanted to stop it.
