Ziwen's Valentine Special Post: A Heart and Hammer.

Okay Valentine is near.
Love is in the air, so as in the games.
But this post, is about pure white innocent love. While everyone is happily thinking about getting their loves one chocolates and nailing them at the same time. xD
Here I am writing and planning my ideas. To write the ultimate post of valentine that will shook the world. * Thunderous cracking sfx* Muahahahaha.

These valentine post will be about love. But the other side of love....ahh bittersweet memories while grasping on the controller so hard. The heart-shattering moments that made us wipe our tears. Oh! i just broke my mouse...
The time that makes you weep and having a tissue beside you,leading into a misunderstand that your parents thought you are doing something....well you get the idea.
Remember how many pieces of tissue you threw when you see Aeries died?
The moment when Yuna went through Tidus body?Boy, that gotta hurt.
The death of Jan Ors ? How does it feel to get slice by a lightsaber?

Here I present you, Ziwen's Valentine Special: A Heart and Hammer. It is for the heart-breaking love scene for the game. The scene that hurt the gamers so bad that it left scars and wounds that will take long to heal. And here we go, the most heart-ripping gameplay scene.

PREY.
Jen.

So first watch the video. If you're lazy I'll just shorten it up for ya.
The situation is, you've been abducted by an unknown life form. Together with your Grandpa and your hot girlfriend.

Around 30 minutes of the game. You saw your grandpa being killed in a horrible fashion living nothing but blood stains. You venture around the alien ship. Killing any aliens that get in your way in a mission to save your girlfriend before she turned into canned food for the aliens.

After blasting your way through, you came into a room. She cried for you in fear and in pain, begging you to save her, trapped in a vessel. After the long combat, you assumed that it will be a joyful-full-of-tears' reunion...but it goes the other way around.

The vessel's door popped out and a loud growling noise could be heard. This was nothing compared to the things you are about to see. Now, the entire upper-half of your girlfriend was ATTACHED/MOUNTED/FUSE, name what you want on top of the monsters' back.
It looks like...they modified her into one of them. You had no choice...you knew what to do if you wanna clear the stage.

For the entire battle, she shouted and cried for your name. Warning you to stay away from her, and save her at the same time. "Tommy help me please! Tommy, stay away from me!", you have no choice but to keep on pressing the fire button until the monster eventually falls.

Here comes the hard part, after defeating the brute and realizing that you had no way to save her. She begged you to end her life. Yes, close your eyes and point the crosshair towards her face and shuts the living daylight out of her for good. So miserably sad ...and romantic at the same time. Which is more sad? Having your girlfriend getting killed by someone? Or Having to pull the own trigger?You decide.

FINAL FANTASY 8
Ragnarok Scene.


This part is where every human emotions meet. Happy, sad, fear, funny....and not to mention love. Hehe.. actually is the most cheesiest part of the game.

The background music... the moment....the sensation..the conversation.
FF8 veterans will know this is one of the saddest yet happiest moment of all time.
Although the ending were a bit sad. We will bound to know that Squall is alive so it's not a big deal.

I pick this part because of it's "unknown future" factor. When we first played, this is the part where keeps me thinking. "What will happen next?","Will Rinoa really being held captive?","Will Squall save her? What will he do?Why can't I be Squall so I can hug her like that?WHY?" Okay... this has gone overboard.
After the scene, the damsel is in distress again, being held captive. After all that and it's back to square one.

Final Fantasy 7
Aeris Death Scene.



One of the most memorable moments of gaming history.
I would like someone to introduce me to anyone that doesn't feel sad about this scene. Poor Cloud.
After chasing her for thousands of miles, from another continent to another continent to be exact. The moment you thought she can rejoins the party and celebrates together.

Suddenly Sephiroth jumps out of nowhere and stabs through her. The end.
Noo...you kill my healer! That is the first reaction =_=.
Forget to mention when Cloud dropped her into the lake, my heart falls along with it. Of course it came back when slay Sephiroth with Cloud. Muahaha.
PS. Omnislash back then is way cooler.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots.
Naomi Hunter's death scene.



Scroll to the middle bar...

I bet most of you know what actually happened. I just cut it short.
Naomi has contracted cancer but with the help of her Nanomachines she was able to prolong her life. Now, as you can see she disables them. The reason? She needs rest. She has been through alot. Trust me and she is going to die anyway.

In this scene, Otacon(the one in the Machine) is the main victim here. Same like me, he fell into deep abyss of never-ending torment, which called love. LoL.

Okay, back to tear-jerking moment, the building starts falling apart, enemies are on their way. No time to even say goodbye to her. AND everything goes to slow-motion....slowly he is getting further and further carried by Raiden. The more further he gets, the more pain as it is in the heart. Look at the flashbacks. Those were his past girlfriends alright and every single one of them died. Including this one....Damn. Sucks to be him...*sniff*

Final Fantasy X
Yuna and Tidus Separation Scene.



At first it was okay, because it is expected that Tidus will be going anyway.
It starts to get a little bit sad when Yuna shook her head. Here comes the heart-cracking moment, Yuna rushes in for the final hug, with open arms...and it eventually went through him and trips to the ground.
She stood up and said it, those words...now that is a heart breaker...
Look at Tidus' face...i have no idea is he sad or relieve...=_=.

But I have to admit, he got guts leaving Yuna and the company.

All is good until Squarenix decide to develop FFX-2 argh &^*^*#$^ the love story....Damn you money-grubber. *Shouts and throw stones into the sea in an evening sunset beach.*


Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Death of Eli Vance.



It was so happy and I was expecting a happy ending. Suddenly an alien life form came crashing through the window. Capture Eli and sucks his brains out. Damn. Gruesome and sad scene.

What most disappointing here is you, yes, the almighty legendary, Gordon Freeman can't do anything but watch. So what, if you save the world, you can't even prevent this to happen. You really do feel for them,especially Alyx.

Then you will see, Alyx crying and sobbing over the death of her father. What worst, it really is the ending as visions faded to black and the credits start rolling.
Episode 3 is the answer my friend. Episode 3.

Well that is all, I hope you guys like it. Until now Game on and Happy Valentine.
