Line 91:
** ''[[Breath of Fire IV]]'': Again, toward the end, when you learn that {{spoiler|Elina is still alive...if you could call it that.}}
* ''[[Epic Mickey]]'' has about halfway through the game the discovery of the original bottle of paint and thinner that fell into Wasteland during Mickey's original mischief. {{spoiler|Oswald learns that Mickey was the one who unleashed the Blot, angrily jumps on the lid of the bottle and unleashes the complete Phantom Blot. Everything else, including the huge blot that dragged Mickey into Wasteland were only drippings escaping from the loose bottle. The freed Blot then pulls a [[Hostage for Macguffin]] by threatening to kill Gus and Oswald if he doesn't get Mickey's heart, to which Mickey complies, setting the stage for the rest of the game.}}
* In ''[[Arc Rise Fantasia]]'', things kind of go downhill when Adelle gets [[
* ''[[Ace Combat]] Zero'' has a mission like this about halfway through. Belka becomes desperate enough that they want to end the war by [[Nuke'Em|dropping nuclear weapons]] on their own cities to stave off the advancing allied forces. Your squadron shoots down the bombers carrying the nukes, suddenly the music stops, the sky lights up, the radio dies, the HUD becomes distorted and your [[Wing Man]] starts trying to shoot you down.
** Even before that mission. Mission 9-10 are both awesome missions taking down superweapons and an ace squadron as well as participating in a massive dogfight. Immediately after that, mission 11 is dark. The only light is provided by a city that's BURNING TO THE GROUND. The music is oppressive and the radio chatter just screams to say how desperate Belka is. Plus one transmission at the end has the army being ordered to ignore the civilians...yeesh.
Line 221:
** Later there is the fight with the Metal Gear, which isn't so remarkable for being the games boss fight, but for the death of the Cyborg Ninja in the preceding cutscene. {{spoiler|He was revealed to be Snakes only true friend, whom he thought he killed, but had been brainwashed and turned into a cyborg. In his last attempt to resists his controllers, he saves Snakes life, but in turn is crushed under Metal Gear's foot. And he also revealed that his adopted sister is actually the daughter of two farmers he murdered.}}
** The reveals that {{spoiler|Master Miller}} was dead the whole time and that {{spoiler|Naomi}} is still the traitor.
** ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' has its own fair share, particularly when Vamp comes out of nowhere and fatally stabs {{spoiler|Emma}} in the back. As in the first game, death isn't instantly but comes only about a quarter hour later.
** Later, the death of Olga, which is much shorter, but no less tragic than that of Sniper Wolf. Yes, she was an enemy as well.
** ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]''. The first Wham comes at the end of the James Bond style prolog level when it is revealed that Snakes best friend and teacher The Boss defects to a rogue russian colonel, stole two atomic bombs, then proceeds to beat Snake close to death in a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] and throws him from a bridge into a river far below. And then the russian colonel fires one of the nukes.
