For video games that offer you multiple choices and/or endings in regards to storytelling. I'll start.

I regretted killing off Trevor in GTA V. Dude grew on you after a while in an odd way, despite his horribleness.

How bout you guys?

Pressing any button on Gone Home's title screen besides the home key to shut it down.

Seriously though, choosing to run away in Suikoden II. A good chunk of the way in you're given the option to just go AWOL, but if you do bad things happen. I did it to see what would happen, saw what happens, then promptly reloaded an older save like a pussy cause I couldn't handle it.
 
Also just finished episode 5 in Telltale's Game of Thrones but
Chosing between Asher and Rodrick was tough. I went with Asher because I felt like he had more personality but I liked Rodrick too. I spoiled myself so I already knew it was gonna happen but it was still tough.
 
Haven't really regretted any, but as for hard ones:

Mass Effect 3's ending
I chose Destroy, mainly because I wanted my Shepards to live and reunite with their significant others. Felt horrible about wiping out EDI and the geth, but in the end my selfishness won.

Season 1 episode 2 of Telltale's The Walking Dead
Helping Kenny kill Larry. I've only done this on one playthrough so far and holy shit is it painful hearing how distraught Lily is afterwards. I love Kenny, but this decision made me feel like a monster.
 
I wouldn't really consider it a decision, but going far enough in NieR Automata to get the full context of 2B and 9S' relationship.
When you get 2B's memories as A2 and find out that 2B had spent a long time killing 9S over and over to keep him from discovering that YoRHa is actually a sham and all the humans had died in the distant past.
 
I broke Djikstra's leg and then accidentally got all the herbalists and mages killed. I did warn him not to fuck with me though.

Killed Toriel on accident in my first playthrough of Undertale because I didn't know how to spare her. I was going through some stuff at the time so black and white pixels dying on my screen hit me really hard and resulted in me restarting and running straight Pacifist the whole time.
 
My most difficult choice was to never touch Undertale again after getting the True Pacifist ending. I know there's all this stuff I missed and there's a part of me that wants to kick Sans's ass, but I made a promise, and I am determined to keep it.
 
shit, this is a hard one. There is so many games where I have regretted what I did but still pushed on.
One exampel is in Splinter Cell Double Agent, where you can chooice to blow a cruiseship, hack and stop the bomb or make it look like a chick on your team had sabotage it. I hacked and stopped the bomb, which lead to the chick got shot. I feel like a turd for letting it happen and didn't touch the game for at least one week.
 
Killing lots of people (my preferred method was to slice their throats off) in my 1st MGS3 playthrough.

As you can very well imagine, when I did the Sorrow boss fight, it took like half an hour to get to the end. (I was aware of the trick to drown yourself, but I felt it was cop out + you don't get his camo that way)
 
Mass effect 2, Legion's loyalty mission. The Mass effect series'writing is all over the place in terms of quality, but this one bit was particularly good imo.
 
Deciding what your final words/advice to Clementine will be, and then having to choose between having her kill you or leave you to become a zombie.
Like getting skullfucked in the emotions, man. :(

Half shitpost, half realtalk. Anything involving trades/transfers in a sports management game, sepcially the two Kings, Football Manager and OOTP Baseball. There are so many times you have to make a snap decision and a few years later it was the complete wrong one.

Even a President of our country, George W. Bush, felt the pain of such a choice so acutely that when he was asked if he had ever made any mistakes, his greatest regret (it wasn't Iraq) was trading Sammy Sosa.
 
In Devil Survivor I decided to follow Yuzu's route and listen to her since I figured
I'd get to fight both angels and demons or maybe just become a general survivor living on my own as the best demon tamer.
It was a mistake. A horrible, dreadful mistake. Thankfully 8th Day in Overclocked remedies this route.
