That reminds me of Gears 2. I didn't stop playing, yet the scene where he 'rescues' his wife was so dumb it made me laugh and annoyed at the stupidity at the same time. At least he got over it quickly, back to happy murdering. I did get some tears in the walking dead, train car scene.

I think the intention on both scenes is pure and dramatic, but the way it was done, I dunno. Its tone was undermined by the way it is presented to the player.

In Gears it felt out of place, a weird kind of side filler. I had no emotional attachment with the characters. Badly presented I guess, like one of those akward Bioware sex scenes. It felt forced all the way through. I don't remember being affected by Valkyria Chronicles either. As you said, it felt forced and out of place.
Same with Tlou for me, too quick, no emotional attachment yet with Sarah or Joel. Actually twice in tlou, Sam didn't fare any better. That came over as a ploy to get rid of them and get on with the journey. Actually both of those scenes felt like, drop the baggage and get going.
It's really hard for action games where you kill people all the time to affect me with a death scene. It doesn't help I always go against what the game wants and have already died or tried killing them myself numerous times :)
