When we learn of Raiden's back-story in MGS2, it can very well be summed up that his life was not great either. I don't know if there's a single person int hat series who had a good life. Maybe Mei Ling? But ultimately it's the story of a bunch of people who are soldiers because their lives suck too much to be anything else.

Cloud Strife's life is so unfairly cruel it's almost hilarious.

Ryo Hazuki is pretty much screwed. Father killed, decides to go chasing a man who would murder him in seconds, only to never actually find him, doesnt bother going to school and wastes his days away buying little toys, playing darts in the local arcade and being told to get lost by strangers in the street whenever he asks for help. Not to mention his friends leaving him (tom and Nozomi), never cleans or changes his clothes, does not eat..quite a pathetic guy. And he's stuck in a cave in China for the rest of his life.

Naomi's back-story explains a lot. Otacon's life was anything but great either, same with Emma, who grew up having a major water phobia because of something involving Otacon's father trying to commit suicide because he found out his son was sleeping with Emma's mother (Otacon and Emma were step-siblings for those who don't know). However, we didn't know too much about Drebin's back-story, nor do we know much about the Ed and Jonathan who were in Meryl's team.

Let's just face it.....Japanese developers LOVE to give their characters f***ed up backstories. I think it would be easier to name the characters in Japanese developed games without f***ed up backstories.

In spite of all of this, Metal Gear Solid IV had an insanely happy ending, really. Considering for a second that it was looking bleak as bleak could be.

What about, from what I've heard, the main character from the "Shadow of the Colossus"?

The entire cast of I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream. f***ing AM needs to go die. God that thing was creepy. Awesome monologue at the beginning though. What about, from what I've heard, the main character from the "Shadow of the Colossus"? Wander is interesting, because Team ICO's story telling is really minimalistic. They'll won't really tell you much of the backstory, so you don't truthfully know anything about Wander's life up until Shadows. You can theorize, but it's just that. Now, yo know the ending to his story, and that sucks, but compared to others his live didn't seem to be that terrible. {Spoiler}He's tricked into killing all these giants by this voice in the sky, which promises to save this girl. He does so, getting more and more beat down with each one, when it turns out the giants were all pieces of this dark god, which possesses Wander after he kills the last one. It's eventually destroyed, but Wander is reincarnated as a baby with horns and banished. The girl doesn't seem to have a strong reaction to him when he wakes up, and it sort of leads into Ico.
So one theory was that the girl was his girlfriend who was killed somehow, another was that she didn't care about him at all, and this was all one big show of love that basically ended with his death and her not caring. Ico's world was a bit screwed up, the main character was basically sentenced to die because he had a horn, but the story seemed to end well (seemed because, like I said, that developmental team tells you nothing about story)

Stanley from the Stanley Parable.
I'd say his existence is pretty depressing, if you can even call it an existence.

Drebin's is pretty bad, dragged from an orphanage and made into a weapons dealer, doesn't even have a name, rather a number as there are 100's of Drebins around the world.

here's a controversial one; Luca Blight. forced to watch his mother get gang-raped, give birth to a rape-baby (who looks just like her) and then die, while his father just sits idly by and does jack all about it.
and it in no way even begins to justify what he does.
