* Hell, if you really wanna get down to it, Resident Evil in general. The premise. The whole town of Raccoon City: innocent women, children, the elderly, hell [[And Your Little Dog, Too]], being infected, killed, and resurrected into flesh-eating, shambling corpses, that [[You Bastard|YOU]] have to kill. The worst part? This could have been avoided if Umbrella weren't such dicks.
** Maybe somewhat similarly, in ''REmake'', just clear the mansion as much as you can, wander the halls, and ponder the deaths of the other members of S.T.A.R.S. for a little while. Especially Edward ([[What Happened to Mommy|poor little teammate Rebecca]]), Forest (Jill's version of the scene where he's discovered dead does have impact), or Richard (especially if you fail the [[Timed Mission]] that ensues after first running into him). All a bunch of brave and perfectly likable men who had no idea what they were up against and ended up brutally murdered. They had a certain amount of backstory, character, and all of that. And you know what? Most of S.T.A.R.S. were kind of friends. And you have to turn out to be just too late to help them out. Seriously do factor in characters' histories with each other the best you can, too - fail the aforementioned [[Timed Mission]] as Chris and Rebecca has to watch the guy who showed her the ropes as a S.T.A.R.S. member die; Chris and Forest were somewhat close as well as friendly rivals, and if the latter's zombification doesn't hit you a little bit during a Chris playthrough, have a peek at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CgbQnI_oeA this], focus on Chris at the very end and listen to the zombie's moans niiiice and closely... Oh. Also Enrico. There was a mission in ''Umbrella Chronicles'' from Rebecca's point of view in which she and Richard are searching for their captain, sure that once they find him, everything will be all right. Yeah. Not only does he die, he's last in the game's body count. Not only is it painfully clear that he wasn't able to save his men, the last thing he realizes is that it's because they were all betrayed that all of this had to happen to them. Whether or not any of this actually gets you crying depends on who you are, but it's bound to at least spark a "...son of a ''bitch''" kind of reaction.
*** Might be slightly mitigated by the fact [[Everyone Lives]] in the canonical version of [[RE 1]]'s storyline.
