Getting processed into a Strogg in Quake 4's single-player campaign.
More interactive: My first encounter with Mutons in XCom Enemy Unknown. And finding out that they carry grenades, which means that from that point on it's a really bad idea to keep your squad bunched together.

Yeah. I remember the Stroggification scene. I loved Quake 4.

It was a glitch, not supposed to happen normally as this kind of zombie type isn't supposed to be able to reach the roof anyway.
Luckily we still managed to win the game.

I was in a 3v3 tournament with 2 of my friends in Bloodline Champions. We breezed in to the finals and then one of my friends got drunk with power and used both of his escape/mobility cooldowns to instantly get right in to the middle of the map the second the round started, leaving us way back out of reach. Enemy team saw that he'd put himself out of position and just zerged him, throwing us the round and tilting us in to losing the series. This was some 5 years ago and it still gets brought up every couple of months.

Sweet classic Naxxramas days in vanilla World of Warcraft: Noth the Plaguebringer boss encounter. Taunt had a chance to miss back then and my stupid taunts kept missing so summoned skeletons went on to kill healers. Therefore causing the death of the entire raid because my taunt missed. Fortunately I am not the only poor tank this happened to :P I'm glad taunts don't miss anymore :D

This wasn't something that happened in a game, but something that happened to my savegame.
A loooooong time ago, I played Ultima IV on my Commodore 64. I was at the entrance to the Abyss, and just needed to figure out what the final word was that I needed to type in that would complete the game. Since save games were limited back then, I could not save at the bottom of the Abyss, as you could only save "outside". I lent my discs to a friend and said to NOT start a new game as it would write over MY savegame. I get the game back, and what do I see? A new character at the start of the game. I really wanted to punch him after that!
As for in-game things? The ending to Over The Hills And Far Away hit me like a ton of bricks.
Getting smooshed into jelly by a Supermutant Behemoth in Fallout 3 was one of the bloodiest ways I've died as well.

A certain, fully first-person unpleasant experience for the player character near the end of Bioshock Infinite Burial At Sea part 2. Won't mention it because spoilers, those who have played it will probably know what I'm talking about.
I should probably also mention that I'm a synesthete for pain. As in, when you see someone (yes, even in movies or videogames sometimes) get injured or listen to them describing the event, you feel pain as well. With the awesome difference that their bodies will react to the (real) injury by releasing natural painkillers as it should, while your brain deep down knows you are not really in danger, so it makes you feel pain but it doesn't release anything to soothe it. Because screw you, that's why.

I imagine witnessing it would be uncomfortable for anyone. The procedure itself is not a pleasant one to think about, and you manage to build an emotional connection to the character over the main game and the DLCs so it's even worse. The only saving grace of that scene is that it's relatively short and it comes after and with plot reveals that may numb your mind a bit to the sheer horror of what's about to happen.
When you add the synesthesia for pain to the mix it turns "uncomfortable" into straight-up "physically painful", so yeah.
Thankfully it usually doesn't get triggered for any little cut and scratch, and most of the times even when it does get triggered it remains tolerable, otherwise I'd be stuck playing completely non-violent games. Absolutely not a fan of violence in real life, but sometimes blowing up some digital jerk can be cathartic, hehe.

So I'm talking to my RL friend and we got to discussing the worst thing you saw happen to you/your party in a game.
To this day mine is STILL in an old playthrough of Wizardry 8 when I cast a spell in battle called Asphyxiate at a higher level than I could handle. Spell backfired and killed all but one of my hirelings instantly.
God I miss those days of fun games. :P
