Gets even sadder when you remember that's a real letter being read... there is really an Émile who wrote such a letter.

Damn, Jack didn't notice achievements. When Karl was saved, he got an achievement called "Some will survive" and when Emile died, there was one called "And some will not". It's... just so depressing

"I fought for my country, my honor is assured" even 5 years later that line makes me feel so damn sad

"War makes men mad." That line really hit me.

*4 years later* *BIG CRY* 😭

Heroes fall but their name lives forever

“War makes men mad” is such a sad and depressing line because of how true it is and how often that people don’t realise the horrors that are experienced on both sides

The difficulty spike on the last Emile stage makes thematic sense- you start the game and there are all these fun setpieces and you have a definite villain and goal in beating Von Dorf, but by the end you’re just in a seemingly-endless straight sprint dodging bombs, waiting for machine guns, digging around pixel-perfect missiles, and wondering “what is this even _for?!”_

I definitely learned way more about WWI from this game than I did back in high school

The greatest tragedy: Emile dying thinking Karl was dead.

Can you hear how his voice is breaking on "Always", so you can hear that he is scared ( 23:23 ) Because I can and I'm crying even harder than I did when I watched it like three years ago

this is really late, but I just realized this out of maturity. The old man and the thousands of people that served and died thought that they died out of honor and for a reason, as to end all wars with that one great war. ...Without knowing that another far more brutal, and far worse war is coming 20 years later. Meaning that all their efforts are all in vain.

Emile died not being able to see his grandson again as well. That cut me deep...

"Your loving papa Always" 23:24 It instantly got me crying

this brings a good life lesson war never changes, and people we love will make sacrifices R.I.P to all those who gave their life during WW1 1914-1918

after 6 years I'm still tearing up

I cried with Jack. I feel your pain Jack. May Emile be remembered.

2019 and yet the saddest endings in gaming

My dad died from cancer just over 2 years ago, and when I heard that line, “your loving papa. Always.” I bawled my eyes out for a half an hour.

Fallout 4: War Never Changes Hearts: War Is Infinite I cried as soon as he got shot. *cries*

This was made by Ubisoft?? Did not expect that.

tears everywhere.....can't stop....help....ah god......Jack's cryen I'm cryen....*fucken hell*

Almost 2020 and still the most Jack cried

“War will never disappear” Well with everything going on with Russia right now this hit hard

Let's have a moment of silence for the people that were lost in all the wars

28:37 You got an achievement titled "Some will not" because you got an achievement while saving Karl, titled "Some will survive." So, Some will survive, some will not R.I.P. Emile

That part almost got me. "Your Loving Papa, Always" My father hasnt died or anything. However, just to do think that someone died thinking someone was dead and they failed them. Aswell as the fact that he left children behind. I'll make sure to cherish my father before death. And also just to think that Émile is a real person and wrote that same letter to his child in real life was sad. I feel ya jack

When Jack cried I thought about how lucky Marie was to even have a loving father for more than a year of your life. I truly envy her life and wish her a fair well. Emile deserves more than what happened and even his men cried when faced with death they deserve what they got from Emile A longer life. Please don’t make people kill themselves and make sure to have a great day

Emiles death is still the saddest scene in gaming for me.

"War makes men mad." The emotion in that scentence was breathtaking. This actually made me tear up.

The song at the end is called “nurture” from Christopher Allen. The song alone tells you a story.. you can hear it’s about saying goodbye to someone you love, and telling them how thankful you are for everything. That hope is not lost, but you’re time is over. If I could choose one song for my funeral when My time on earth is over, it would be this song, and my last words would be: “I want to thank everybody who I ever met in my life, good or bad, friend of enemy.. i wouldn’t be the same without you. I want to apologize to all the people I’ve hurt. Im thankful for what’s been given and the fact I got a chance to be part of this world. ‘Hope’ is what kept me going.. And for all the people who ever lose hope... remember that you won’t see the light without darkness.”

whats... even more depressing is that there's more like stories that are similar to this in reality

To me, this is probably one of the saddest endings ever

"If you die I'll kill ya!" -Jacksepticeye 2015 Still found funny in 2017

22:38 seeing his best friend in the background got me. What an ending

Always my go to episode for when I need a good cry....

What really got me was the soldiers taking their hats off to Emile after the officer walked past

2018? 100 years after the war finished (in 1918)

Having already knowing the ending, despite it all, just having someone there with you to cry alongside is probably one of the best feelings. Jack was right about the feeling of company with series like these, and it just makes the gameplay that much better.

"The war was not yet over. Its appetite is infinite" Absolutely haunting words to end the game on and I cannot express how impactful they are especially after that gut wrenching ending. Its not only the personification of a painful fact. But it also feels like a blatant insult. Emile dies. War takes a father, a friend, a grandfather, a hero and yet the war still hungers for more victims.

When I saw Jack tear up... oh man :(...

Jack don't cry. when you cry I cry...

2020: Such a great, touching game. Made me cry too, Jack!

(2022-08) "I don't think a war like this will happen again" Jack please be right.

To think that Emile almost made it past the war,the war came back and killed him.And so the saying goes you can take the hero out the war,but not the war out of the hero.😩😪R.I.P Emile

Serious comment: A moment of silence for all the good men who died in WWI.

"keep me in your prayers. your loving papa, always" that line just made me break down lmao it just makes me wonder if that was what my dad thought as well during his last moments hanging onto a thread in the midst of his pain

the year is 2023 and this still hits just as hard at when i was 11

R.I.P Emile Liek ify u cri everytim

The ending made the thoughest and the strongest cry... What a game... What a story...

8 years later and this still breaks me. In loving memory to all who fought and died for their homeland and family.

18:45 Seeing this scene made me shed the most tears I've shed in my entire life, seeing Anna fight tooth and nail to keep Karl on this Earth and watching Karl's son and wife pray that Karl survives, got me the most. I don't know why, but that feels so relatable to me.

I cried even tho I watched this 2 times and played it my self

22:47 Thing that made me cry is that Emile still did not know Karl was alive. He still thought he was dead.

Even after 7 years, this still makes me cry...I love this series, i love the characters, i love the way Sean commentates and plays the game, I love everything about this series and this channel. Little 8 year old me would me happy that i havent changed and that i still watch my childhood youtuber. Love you jack, thanks for making the world a little bit brighter

It takes a lot of courage to cry in front of millions and millions of people

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them Lest we forget

I think the dog is the narrator.

What makes Émile’s death so much more sadder for me is that he died still thinking Karl was dead.

“War makes men mad” I love this so much. One quote can make a video game become so real.

Jack war never ends with a happy ending. It never does 😢

I'm not a guy to cry at films/games. But this brought tears to my eyes.

After leaving this video for a year and this still gets me ..Rest in peace Emile

Thank u so much Sean for playing such a great game, I always love to watch ur play throughs, often I will play along with u, it helps to give me good company and I feel like I have a friend that I can be with, even tho we are miles apart I can still hear ur voice and laugh at ur jokes. I love ur content and u will always be there at the tip of my fingers, so once again I want to thank u so much for being a friend whenever I need a buddy. Sincerely; your fan and distant friend Sam

I'm with you jack I'm FUCKING CRYING MY HART OUT TO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

it instantly broke my heart the moment Jack started crying

God "war makes men mad" is such a good ost and title for an song

The only reason I cried is when you think of how much he's been through. How much he kept fighting to see Karl, and then even after learning of his "death," he kept perusing, just for the sake of helping France in the war.

When it came to the end when jack cried....... OH MAN !!! I started crying so bad my heart was broken.... So.... 1 like more = more love for jack and his heart😢😢😭😭😭

The last 2 achievements were: “some will survive” and “and some will not.”

I didn’t cry.. there was just a masssive lump in my neck and my face was like 🙁

"I don't think a war like this will happen again" If only he knew...

I knew this was going to make Jack cry. And it still ripped my heart out.

That's messed up man. You amazingly survive a war only to be killed by your own country in the end.

I know it is years later, but thank you for crying with me! I loved this series, was such a journey to watch.

25:34 it was sad but you loved every bit of it because of how strong the story is didn't u jack?

Who ever dislike this.Have no heart and soul 😭😭😭😭

We should honor the people who sacrificed their lives for us not by continuing the war they fought on or by mourning them But by living the life that they weren’t able to live

Even after 7 years, that still hits hard

Watching this during 2022 and this game to this day still has a depressing ending. god I love this game, but geez is it an emotional rollercoaster ride

23:29 Aww Jack When I see character die in games, it gives me a certain feeling. Like an almost crying/ acceptance feeling. Like its raining in on my insides (odd way to describe it). But this was a good game, a little repetitive, but all other aspects were amazing. R.I.P Emile

I cried and balled my eyes out cuz of the game but I mainly cried and balled cuz jack was crying

Man I just watched a movie called "The wind that shakes the barley" and this hits ALOT harder

god 5 years later i'm still crying watchin this..god i wanna hug this jack to make him stop crying

I came here to see jack react to the ending, I have cried literally every time I've seen it

What's even sadder is what he said in the end is i think an actual letter from WWI

I’ve came back every year to re watch the whole series this is another time that I come back to watch this can be replayed into real life situations and lessons can be learned from this

RIP Emille and all unnamed soldiers who died in war. This game gave me a sense of dread and urgency throughout.

Once Jack started crying, I started crying and putting my hand to the screen saying, "Jack please don't cry!"😭

We're crying with ya, Sean. We're crying with ya.

at the end when shaun was saying "I dont think world war 3 will happen" and then in 2022 the war in Ukraine starts

Its 5 years later and I still cry my heart out when I see Jack crying 😭😭😭

Still one of my favorite series. I'm begining to tear up again. I've watched this ending so many times. I will always be grateful for you Jack. You've been such a great friend to me, even if we've never met, and possibly never will. Thank you

Does anyone feel a sense of dread when jack cries

I remember watching this series and this was the first game that actually made me cry

I have been binge watching your content Sean; whenever I’m having rough weeks at college, as a creator you have evoked joy and passion in my soul with these interactive play through videos. I remember watching you as a kid and I am so grateful because as I grew older I realized how much of an influence you are to your audiences, thank you for carrying me through my hardships as a kid.

i hate it that this happend in real life.. and not alot of people know that

"Your loving papa....always" I need to cherish my dad while he's still here.....i never took him for granted.....i will not commit the same mistake twice

And time has passsed, we are still here and rememeber those who has fallen and been trialed wrongly guilty.... R.I.P Soldier' s.

i remember watching this back in the day, crazy how time works
