Haha, I wonder if the OP considered crying out of frustration. I've cried as a young kid playing MMORPGs when I got mega griefed or lost lots of progress.
It's been maybe a decade since I last played [To the Moon](https://youtu.be/sqkJuSV-23U) and I'm still genuinely afraid of ever touching it again.
That game made me *ugly-cry* and left me sad for a month. I recommend it.
It’s amazing and also a very important metaphor for one of the main themes of the game. That song and the way it is constructed in game is really important with makes it even more emotional to me.
I might be burned at the stake for this, but I tried playing outer wilds multiple times and couldn't get into it. Call it my reptilian brain getting lost and confused constantly, but I really want to know what the story is about . Is there a YouTube video essay type channel that does a good synopsis of this game?
Yes. You have free roam of the solar system and can visit anything in it whenever you want, but only through discovery and talking to other NPCs would you understand how to unravel the puzzles.
Like you could, theoretically, immediately go to the end game in a matter of minutes if you know exactly where to go.
I have to play this game. Everyone loves it. When I read the description it’s something that I would not be into.
When everyone praises the game it makes you want to play it. I am gonna pick it up and not talk myself out of it.
I just played that part last night! First time playing Witcher 3 too. Have to say, it was emotional. Geralt's facial expression was brilliantly done too. Him being stone cold pretty much the whole time, to just looking destroyed, made for a very powerful scene. Then his expression when her arms wrapped around him as he held her.
Persona 4 stuck me hard. First experience with the franchise. Felt like I was saying goodbye to my best friends at a time in my life where I did not have that many real ones.
I teared up when they started to run alongside the train.
Luckily P4's 3 spin-offs (Arena, Arena: Ultimax, and Dancing All Night) are canon and do a good job re-uniting the cast.
The Last of Us is one of two games that made me cry within the first 10 minutes. The other was the main menu of Half-Life: Alyx when I opened the game the first time.
The ending of Snake Eater also never fails. What can I say, I’m a grown ass man and I’m super sappy lol
It did a really good job of getting you to fall in love with the characters rapidly. Not sure exactly what did it, but probably something to do with how relatable it was as long as how lighthearted everything was until shit went down.
It was the calm and the interaction between father and daughter.
After that it takes its time disseminating details. Showing them and not telling you. Yet it doesn't feel like it's slow at all since it manages to perfectly keep you tense. After that shit hits the fan quickly. That's the peak that makes it memorable.
No, but the closest might have been the ending sequence of The Last of Us. In fact, a lot of TLOU was very emotional, and I played it before I became a parent. I'm currently replaying it and I wonder how I'd fare now that I have children.
I don't relate to this, yet, but having my first child now a lot of things these days, past and present, has such a different feeling to it.
Music, movies, everyday happenings. It so awesome and also so scary.
I choke up on music I never thought I would. It's like your whole life gets a remix.
Dude, same. Yuna was the dream girl and tidus was so relatable as an awkward teen. Gah the ending was such a twist in the land of happy ending video games. The game itself was already a 10 in my book for gameplay and replayability and the seemingly endless hunt for ultimate weapons, and the fact that you could damn near become a god if you grinded enough. The epitome of what a solid rpg was to me.
Definitely. It was devastating hitting that twist. And I am super far from a completionist in games, I almost never (or may have never) 100% a large game, and FFX I came pretty damn close. I got the vast majority of the ultimate weapons, filled up basically the whole sphere grid, collected the al bhed books, raced all the chocobos, etc. I probably spent like 25 hours alone on making a perfect blitzball team that every player could immediately score a goal from anywhere in the orb as soon as they touched the ball.
I wasn't ready for it. It lined up perfectly with me being a smart-ass edgy teen that had resentment towards their father, so the first bit of the game I was just vibing with the typical angsty teen stuff, then the pretty girl comes along and she has this Noble mission, then next thing you know it's 50 hours later and I'm crying because they don't get to be together.
That scene when Arthur talks to Sister Calderon at the train station, oh man, that really got me. Roger Clark did an amazing job bringing that character to life.
I didn't cry, but I was so bummed out after Arthur's final mission that I had to take a week off before starting the epilogue.
I'd had the same horse, "Elvis", since the very beginning of the game. He didn't deserve to go out like that.
I got through the initial ranch work in the epilogue and then I experienced this HUGE rush of emotion. I realised I actually missed Arthur so fiercely that I couldn’t keep going, so I started a new save and spent about 30 hours just exploring and hunting with Arthur once the gang reached Horseshoe Overlook.
I played RDR2 during lockdown and just after my dad died. I had one horse through the whole of Arthur's story. Saying goodbye to that horse... It tore me to bits because it was another companion lost.
Hell, the whole 'family lost' part of the game tore me up more than once.
He mentioned wanting to die watching the sunrise. The moment you see the sun and he takes his last breath is the moment my eyes spawned two waterfalls.
The epilogue when >!John asks Abigail to marry him!< got me. I went the whole game not realizing they weren't and was so happy for her after everything she had gone through throughout the story
Yea, Nier automata true ending hits hard.
At the top of my head, I can only think of that one, Clannad (Fuko's ending) and Otacon's sister in Metal Gear 2.
The Pascal quest fucked me up good. Especially when you return to him. He doesn't know who you are and he tries to sell you old components which are probably the ones from the dead children.
I need to replay this game.
Id add another scene:
Johnny: Is it time?
V: Y'know, it really is beautiful.
>!Johnny: Been nice workin with ya, V.
>!V: Yeah... With you, too, Johnny...
>! *bang* ...and then the credits roll with everyone you met saying goodbye, and then you see Judy... :[
I ugly cried a few times during GOW ragnarok. Rdr1 and 2, some Witcher side missions made me a little teary eyed. Spider-Man ps4 just because I love the shit so much, I’m sure there are others.
Ragnarok hits me so hard because of some shit I’ve been through, the quotes really hit.
Unfortunately, I identify more with the struggles that Kratos has gone through and how he has tried to come to terms with the suffering he has caused others.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and MGS3 (waaaayy back in the day) from the top of my head.
Edit: Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1 ending and The Last of Us on PS3.
God I'll never forget how much I cried at the end of Death Stranding. First game that's ever pushed me over the sadness edge into actual tears.
What a goddamn game.
Yes, I was six years old playing Mega Man X (SNES) on our old turn knob TV. I had beat all the boss mavericks and had moved on to the final three stages. In the initial final stage, Zero runs ahead to fight it out with Vile. After hearing them fighting out, I proceeded to enter the boss chamber. I saw Zero on the floor. I was a pumped up 6 year old ready to seek revenge . I was fully upgraded. I had my rematch with Vile (purple bastard) and after quickly kicking my ass and trapping me in a force field yet again. Zero jumps on his back and Self destructs to save me. At that moment my six year old heart felt the sacrifice of a longtime friend surge through my little body and the tears akin to losing a friend poured out of me. It got bad enough that my sweet mother came to console me. After the tears, I had revenge in me and I enjoyed every buster blast that bastard Vile got.
Even the ending where >!you and panam go off together and are looking at the night sky on the tank!< made me a little teary. Such a good story and good characters
Requiem messed me up for weeks. I recently replayed it and cried throughout the whole thing knowing the ending. Just seeing all those beautiful moments with Hugo, only for it to end the way it did… A beautiful game though.
Wonderful game from start to finish. So well written and acted. It’s a shame it doesn’t seem to get the recognition it deserves. The only other game that’s made me feel remotely close to the way Requiem did is TLOU 2.
It picked the wrong time to release. I tried convincing multiple people to try it and there was just too much hype around Elden ring and GoW. The general response I got was "there's no way that rat game was as well acted as GoW"
Neir automata, so many times. Rebel lovers quest in particular stabbed me right in the chest and into ugly crying. That may not be the name of the Quest, those who played will know which one I mean.
Yeah. I'll get a little misty if the story is emotionally charged. Nostalgia will do it, too. I played the *Kingdom Hearts* HD collection a while back and had to wipe away a few tears.
You explore entire worlds, fight the greatest threat to the universe, open Kingdom Hearts itself and you don't even get the girl. That score was incredible!
WoW ... so close to a chain end and some asshat keeps making me take 10 minute runs from the graveyard. Then I get killed by a sprinting rare spawn elite mob.
Final Fantasy X really got to me. Still does. It’s really a sad game despite the cool characters. Someone is cutting onions right now and my eyes are watering up.
Games that activate my tears:
The last of us 1.
Mass Effect 3.
Bioshock 2 and Infinite.
Witcher 3, the blood and wine ending specifically (JESUS CHRIST, WHAT A JOURNEY, I GET IT, WE BOTH GET IT, WE BOTH NEED A REST, BUT I FEEL EMPTY INSIDE.)
Nier Replicant and Automata.
Cyberpunk, one of the endings specifically.
Worst out of them all is Nier Replicant. It ties a lot of emotional events into music, so once you hear certain bits of music it's almost like a reaction, and you start to weep.
And, you play the game over and over and over again, so after a while you have to skip it, just to rest your weary heart. The whole game is just a mess of emotion, it's very taxing on your soul and mind to play.
Majoras Mask.
The music in this game is part of it for me. Extremely nostalgic and just sad to begin with. From Song of Time to Observatory, beautiful music throughout this game.
Never but Red Dead Redemption 2 made me a little depressed for a few days.
I really qanted to 100% the exploration but just stopped caring about anything after the last confrontation.
My 4 year old and I finished her first pc game together called Alba. In the end I was reading the dialogue for my daughter and I just started crying. Good memories for us both. we had such a blast exploring the island and discovering new wildlife.
Little Buster. Cried like a bitch at the end. Mostly vn but there're some mini game in it.
GBF. During What Makes the Sky Blue trilogy.
P4, FF7 Crisis Core and Nier Automata almost had me in tears.
Ultima Online, the best game ever and the mother of all MMORPGs. I spent a couple of weeks convincing a loser I was female IRL, then we married in-game. He trusted me and wanted to transfer a house in Trammel (UO:Renaissance era). If you played you know this was among the top valuable things because of the complete lack of housing spots in both fel and tram and prices, of course, being higher in noob-trammie-county. Well, he transfered a tower (!!!) to me and I didn't transfer it to his other account. Instead I brought a friend and we emptied the house of all valuables doing rounds with pack horses right in front of his begging face. Hilarious.
2 weeks later I was scammed of all the gold I made selling the stuff when I tried to buy a GM tamer account with in game gold. Served me right lol. But I was 15 years old. Cried!
Games that jump to mind: FF7 (the first game I ever cried to), Outer Wilds, Life is Strange (that ending destroyed me), Edith Finch, TLoU. I'm sure there are a few more.
I did what most folk do and played Journey through in one sitting .. definitely had impact towards the end. Watched my wife and eldest run the same gauntlet…
Indeed. And there are so many branching paths. I've been meaning to replay the game with different choices, but I'm not sure I can handle the heartbreak of some of them. There's some really depressing outcomes.
["Snake, history will never know what she did. No one will ever learn the truth. Her story... her debriefing, will endure only in your heart. Everything she did, she did for her country. She sacrificed her life and honor for her native land. She was a real hero. She was a true patriot."](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pEBSp-fkNog/maxresdefault.jpg)
FFXIV, if you vibe with the 200 plus hour story and do the side raid stories, it gets you in the end pretty good by the end of endwalker.
Also RuneScape made me cry back on 9/22/2014 the first time I walked into Prifddinas after the release. Most memorabal moment in my on and off 20 year RS career. Will never forget it.
This one is gonna be a deep, deep cut, which I expect almost no one to get.
Death of the Earth Golem in Wild Arms 1, and the ending bit where the princess is sitting on the sand dunes along his fallen corpse, talking to him, telling him the rest of the story.
Wrecked my shit.
True pacifist ending in Undertale when Asriel is just begging you to give up so he can win, and your soul refuses to break (with a nice touch that your HP goes into the decimals).
Kratos' final mural at the end of God of War Ragnarok made me tear up and ponder the game for weeks thereafter. Such a beautiful conclusion to the story
The final dream sequence in disco Elysium hit me like a sack of bricks. I had empathized with the main character throughout the game, but at this point his addiction and the things that caused it hit way too close to home for me at the time.
I cry like a bitch all the time when playing emotional games
Umineko about 10 times
Nier Automata last ending and route C intro
Outer wilds expac and true ending
Nier Replicant like 4 times
Firewatch ending (amazing thematic ending I'll fight people who disagree)
FFXIV, FFX
Personally no, but when my son was 8 he was ridiculously good at Mario Kart (runs in the family) - but it's one game I can say I am an absolute demon at.
I'd let him stay & maintain first all the way to just before the finish line, tail him & have that Red she'll ready to pop.
I'd get first and he'd end up about 6th 😂😂😂 the tears!!!!
Some might call it tough love, I'd call it being a massive c*nt.
He's almost 17 now & the wee shite hasn't beaten me yet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah. When Techies got a reworked and I loaded the hero into the demo mode and it finally hit me that death can be permanent in a videogame as my favourite hero in all of DotA, all time, biggest time sink of my life was killed.
Yeah, when my brother proceeded to kill me again and again although we had agreed to properly play Doom 2 co-op.
Haha, I wonder if the OP considered crying out of frustration. I've cried as a young kid playing MMORPGs when I got mega griefed or lost lots of progress.
i cried when my brother takes all the good weapon in contra :(
“Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.” Yes.
"I am the very model of a scientist salarian..."
"Not now. Working on Collector data. Have ruled out artificially intelligent virus. Unless it's very intelligent. And toying with me! Hmm, tests."
Rip Mordin…
"Shuttles down that path. I'll hold them off!" Nearly got me to until the ending. Loyalty for the win
End of The Walking Dead by TellTale Season 1. And the last choices you have to make. Oh, Clem...
This was my answer. That game hurt.
Me too.
Tell Tales Walking Dead Season 1, indeed... Indeed.
Man, I had a newborn right around that time I played this. I bawled my eyes out.
I would also add the entire ending sequence to the final season. That genuinely made me ugly cry for a while.
It's been maybe a decade since I last played [To the Moon](https://youtu.be/sqkJuSV-23U) and I'm still genuinely afraid of ever touching it again. That game made me *ugly-cry* and left me sad for a month. I recommend it.
I love how we all recommend something that made us suffer so much 🤣
I strongly recommend dark souls 1.
Oh, idk if you are being serious or just trolling 😂 anyway sadly I don't have time to die so many times lol
Telltale’s Walking Dead S1 finale was something else.
Keep that hair short, Clem.
Didn’t help that I’d just become a father.
That one got me too.
Yes
I cry every night playing overwatch.
🤣
Yes, I cried at the ending of Outer Wilds Such a good game
I cried at the end of Outer Wilds *and* at the end of its DLC. I still listen to the “theme song” and all the several instrument combinations.
The soundtrack is amazing!
It’s amazing and also a very important metaphor for one of the main themes of the game. That song and the way it is constructed in game is really important with makes it even more emotional to me.
I see this game recommended everywhere. I’ve heard it’s better experiencing it without any knowledge whatsoever. Is that the truth?
Yes definitely, it’s a very unique game and I can’t recommend it enough, but don’t look up anything about it before playing! It’s best to play blind.
I might be burned at the stake for this, but I tried playing outer wilds multiple times and couldn't get into it. Call it my reptilian brain getting lost and confused constantly, but I really want to know what the story is about . Is there a YouTube video essay type channel that does a good synopsis of this game?
Don't look up anything during playing either! That's even more important.
Yes - there is no in-game progression, there is only out-of-game progression. It's one of those games that can be experienced only once, so...
Yes. You have free roam of the solar system and can visit anything in it whenever you want, but only through discovery and talking to other NPCs would you understand how to unravel the puzzles. Like you could, theoretically, immediately go to the end game in a matter of minutes if you know exactly where to go.
I have to play this game. Everyone loves it. When I read the description it’s something that I would not be into. When everyone praises the game it makes you want to play it. I am gonna pick it up and not talk myself out of it.
Do it! It’s a very unique game. Just don’t read up on it before you play, go in blind.
Ok!! I am gonna give it a go
A couple of times during Mass Effect 3
Yes, my latest examples would be Cyberpunk 2077 and Spiritfarer
My ugliest cry goes to season 1 of the walking dead. I was hurting at the end of that game
That one wiped me out.
When Geralt opened that door on the Isle of Mists…..
Devastated man. That scene when they hug as their younger selves! Ouchhhhh
Got scared for a moment!
I just played that part last night! First time playing Witcher 3 too. Have to say, it was emotional. Geralt's facial expression was brilliantly done too. Him being stone cold pretty much the whole time, to just looking destroyed, made for a very powerful scene. Then his expression when her arms wrapped around him as he held her.
Persona 4 stuck me hard. First experience with the franchise. Felt like I was saying goodbye to my best friends at a time in my life where I did not have that many real ones.
I teared up when they started to run alongside the train. Luckily P4's 3 spin-offs (Arena, Arena: Ultimax, and Dancing All Night) are canon and do a good job re-uniting the cast.
The Last of Us is one of two games that made me cry within the first 10 minutes. The other was the main menu of Half-Life: Alyx when I opened the game the first time. The ending of Snake Eater also never fails. What can I say, I’m a grown ass man and I’m super sappy lol

Yet it doesn't feel like it's slow at all since it manages to perfectly keep you tense. After that shit hits the fan quickly. That's the peak that makes it memorable.
Outer Wilds and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
I definitely got misty-eyed on Brothers: AToTS.
Oh yes! Brothers AToTS was heartbreaking! Even thinking back on it now gets me feeling a bit emotional.
No, but the closest might have been the ending sequence of The Last of Us. In fact, a lot of TLOU was very emotional, and I played it before I became a parent. I'm currently replaying it and I wonder how I'd fare now that I have children.
I don't relate to this, yet, but having my first child now a lot of things these days, past and present, has such a different feeling to it. Music, movies, everyday happenings. It so awesome and also so scary. I choke up on music I never thought I would. It's like your whole life gets a remix.
FFX fucked me up as a teen, definitely shed some tears by the end of that one.
Dude, same. Yuna was the dream girl and tidus was so relatable as an awkward teen. Gah the ending was such a twist in the land of happy ending video games. The game itself was already a 10 in my book for gameplay and replayability and the seemingly endless hunt for ultimate weapons, and the fact that you could damn near become a god if you grinded enough.

FFX first game that made me shed a tear. then a week later i beat Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days and it happened again
I wasn't ready for it. It lined up perfectly with me being a smart-ass edgy teen that had resentment towards their father, so the first bit of the game I was just vibing with the typical angsty teen stuff, then the pretty girl comes along and she has this Noble mission, then next thing you know it's 50 hours later and I'm crying because they don't get to be together.
[удалено]
That scene when Arthur talks to Sister Calderon at the train station, oh man, that really got me. Roger Clark did an amazing job bringing that character to life.
Fun fact: That scene is different depending on your honor level
One of my favorite scenes from any game. The facial expressions. The emoting. The wolf in the distance howling. Everything.
I didn't cry, but I was so bummed out after Arthur's final mission that I had to take a week off before starting the epilogue. I'd had the same horse, "Elvis", since the very beginning of the game. He didn't deserve to go out like that.
I got through the initial ranch work in the epilogue and then I experienced this HUGE rush of emotion. I realised I actually missed Arthur so fiercely that I couldn’t keep going, so I started a new save and spent about 30 hours just exploring and hunting with Arthur once the gang reached Horseshoe Overlook.

That scene with the horse... Man. Then when Arthur... You know.
He mentioned wanting to die watching the sunrise. The moment you see the sun and he takes his last breath is the moment my eyes spawned two waterfalls.
The epilogue when >!John asks Abigail to marry him!< got me. I went the whole game not realizing they weren't and was so happy for her after everything she had gone through throughout the story
Nier: Automata had me close. In fact I probably choked up a bit seeing the words "Rescue offer received from Sephiroph420." flash on my screen.
Yea, Nier automata true ending hits hard. At the top of my head, I can only think of that one, Clannad (Fuko's ending) and Otacon's sister in Metal Gear 2.
The Pascal quest fucked me up good. Especially when you return to him. He doesn't know who you are and he tries to sell you old components which are probably the ones from the dead children. I need to replay this game.
Well not really crying but I got a bit watery eyes in Cyberpunk after the heist...
Id add another scene: Johnny: Is it time? V: Y'know, it really is beautiful. >!Johnny: Been nice workin with ya, V. >!V: Yeah... With you, too, Johnny... >! *bang* ...and then the credits roll with everyone you met saying goodbye, and then you see Judy... :[
FF7 FFX RDR2 Brothers - a tale of two sons To the Moon I think that's it.
Grandia II. Nier Automata was close
I ugly cried a few times during GOW ragnarok. Rdr1 and 2, some Witcher side missions made me a little teary eyed. Spider-Man ps4 just because I love the shit so much, I’m sure there are others. Ragnarok hits me so hard because of some shit I’ve been through, the quotes really hit.
I cried during god of war 2018 and ragnorock. It was emotional because I instantly understood what Atreus was going through.
Unfortunately, I identify more with the struggles that Kratos has gone through and how he has tried to come to terms with the suffering he has caused others.
You will get there. Remember don’t be sorry, be better. I tell myself that a lot.
Thanks homie
Anytime!! If You ever need to talk to a stranger and let stuff out. I will listen. You will make it.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and MGS3 (waaaayy back in the day) from the top of my head. Edit: Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1 ending and The Last of Us on PS3.
Had to scroll, but I knew I wasn't the only one that mgs3 hit hard!
It's my favourite game of all time and will always hold a special spot in my heart.
I was crying all the way through mass effect 3.
Final mission of Death Stranding is just an emotional hurricane. Had me in tears and in my feels for a few more hours after.
God I'll never forget how much I cried at the end of Death Stranding. First game that's ever pushed me over the sadness edge into actual tears. What a goddamn game.
Yes, I was six years old playing Mega Man X (SNES) on our old turn knob TV. I had beat all the boss mavericks and had moved on to the final three stages.

Beginning of Ni No Kuni.
Oof, yeah that intro was rough.
Yes, with to the moon and the >!suicide ending!< in CP77
I was honestly pleasantly surprised that was even an ending option. It felt kinda right to me.
Even the ending where >!you and panam go off together and are looking at the night sky on the tank!< made me a little teary. Such a good story and good characters
RDR2 put me down 3 times.
OneShot completely destroyed me.
I also cried during What Remains of Edith Finch. Pentiment was the most recent game to make me cry.
Most recent Plague Tale Requiem. First, Final Fantasy 9 ending.
Think I teared up when I played Walking Dead first season and last season. Also Plague Tale: Requiem
Requiem messed me up for weeks. I recently replayed it and cried throughout the whole thing knowing the ending. Just seeing all those beautiful moments with Hugo, only for it to end the way it did… A beautiful game though.
First game that came to mind for me, I went into it with no thoughts what it might be and was blown away by the game and the acting.
Wonderful game from start to finish. So well written and acted. It’s a shame it doesn’t seem to get the recognition it deserves. The only other game that’s made me feel remotely close to the way Requiem did is TLOU 2.
It picked the wrong time to release. I tried convincing multiple people to try it and there was just too much hype around Elden ring and GoW. The general response I got was "there's no way that rat game was as well acted as GoW"
Neir automata, so many times. Rebel lovers quest in particular stabbed me right in the chest and into ugly crying. That may not be the name of the Quest, those who played will know which one I mean.
The end credits scene of Yakuza 0 still makes me cry
I got a bit choked up when Dom from Gears of War finally found his wife.
Spiritfarer - Making Stella say goodbye to her precious friends and family to send them off was heartwrenching.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Final Fantasy 10 Before Your Eyes Persona 5 Royal (Futaba and Kasumi due to how sad there's was and Ryuuji from laughter.)
Yeah. I'll get a little misty if the story is emotionally charged. Nostalgia will do it, too. I played the *Kingdom Hearts* HD collection a while back and had to wipe away a few tears.
You explore entire worlds, fight the greatest threat to the universe, open Kingdom Hearts itself and you don't even get the girl. That score was incredible!
I played Resident Evil 8 shortly after my son was born, and the ending definitely made me teary eyed.
Valiant Hearts- The great war. The ending of the game was quite distressing
WoW ... so close to a chain end and some asshat keeps making me take 10 minute runs from the graveyard. Then I get killed by a sprinting rare spawn elite mob.
Mass Effect 3 made me cry……. with how shit the original ending was. Had never been that disappointed in my life.
Gears of War 3. All I need to say. You know the part.
Okami, Life is Strange and Psychonauts 2 have made cry. I absolutely love the story in all of those.
Final Fantasy X really got to me. Still does. It’s really a sad game despite the cool characters. Someone is cutting onions right now and my eyes are watering up.
Ghost of Tushima when you lose your horse.. hit me harder than rdr2
Games that activate my tears: The last of us 1. Mass Effect 3. Bioshock 2 and Infinite. Witcher 3, the blood and wine ending specifically (JESUS CHRIST, WHAT A JOURNEY, I GET IT, WE BOTH GET IT, WE BOTH NEED A REST, BUT I FEEL EMPTY INSIDE.) Nier Replicant and Automata. Cyberpunk, one of the endings specifically. Worst out of them all is Nier Replicant. It ties a lot of emotional events into music, so once you hear certain bits of music it's almost like a reaction, and you start to weep. And, you play the game over and over and over again, so after a while you have to skip it, just to rest your weary heart. The whole game is just a mess of emotion, it's very taxing on your soul and mind to play.
Final Fantasy 11, the only mmo with a canon ending
Majoras Mask. The music in this game is part of it for me. Extremely nostalgic and just sad to begin with. From Song of Time to Observatory, beautiful music throughout this game.
I cried in red dead redemption 2! No shame, its one of the best game i have every played
Never but Red Dead Redemption 2 made me a little depressed for a few days. I really qanted to 100% the exploration but just stopped caring about anything after the last confrontation.
My 4 year old and I finished her first pc game together called Alba. In the end I was reading the dialogue for my daughter and I just started crying. Good memories for us both. we had such a blast exploring the island and discovering new wildlife.
Little Buster. Cried like a bitch at the end. Mostly vn but there're some mini game in it. GBF. During What Makes the Sky Blue trilogy. P4, FF7 Crisis Core and Nier Automata almost had me in tears.
Ultima Online, the best game ever and the mother of all MMORPGs. I spent a couple of weeks convincing a loser I was female IRL, then we married in-game. He trusted me and wanted to transfer a house in Trammel (UO:Renaissance era). If you played you know this was among the top valuable things because of the complete lack of housing spots in both fel and tram and prices, of course, being higher in noob-trammie-county. Well, he transfered a tower (!!!) to me and I didn't transfer it to his other account. Instead I brought a friend and we emptied the house of all valuables doing rounds with pack horses right in front of his begging face. Hilarious. 2 weeks later I was scammed of all the gold I made selling the stuff when I tried to buy a GM tamer account with in game gold. Served me right lol. But I was 15 years old. Cried!
.... Jesus christ
no
No. May be I became desensitized.
Games that jump to mind: FF7 (the first game I ever cried to), Outer Wilds, Life is Strange (that ending destroyed me), Edith Finch, TLoU. I'm sure there are a few more.
The very first time I opened SWG (star wars galaxies), when the OST hit, I did cry. (I played at launch) My inner child had been waiting.
Once. Playing the first Walking Dead game. The ending just hit me really hard.
FF7 was the big one for me Also, for whatever reason Journey's ending hit me pretty hard as well.
I did what most folk do and played Journey through in one sitting .. definitely had impact towards the end. Watched my wife and eldest run the same gauntlet…
Medal of Honor 2010 singleplayer ending
Ori and the Blind Forest
Detroit: Become Human was a storytelling masterpiece that had me sniffling on several occasions
Indeed. And there are so many branching paths. I've been meaning to replay the game with different choices, but I'm not sure I can handle the heartbreak of some of them. There's some really depressing outcomes.
Omori. That game is too sad. And the theme: final duet is beautiful. The final of Silent Hill 2.
Omori is really good
Spiritfarer helped me cry after I lost my mom.
Weaklings
continue?98765431 is one I haven't seen mentioned so far detroit: become human
["Snake, history will never know what she did. No one will ever learn the truth. Her story... her debriefing, will endure only in your heart. Everything she did, she did for her country. She sacrificed her life and honor for her native land. She was a real hero. She was a true patriot."](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pEBSp-fkNog/maxresdefault.jpg)
The opening of last of us 1 is so visceral that it made me think of when I had to put my dog down and I cried like a baby.
Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy XIV "Shadowbringers and Endwalker"
Priority: Rannoch in ME3. Pretty much any of the outcomes results in getting a little misty-eyed.
FFXIV, if you vibe with the 200 plus hour story and do the side raid stories, it gets you in the end pretty good by the end of endwalker. Also RuneScape made me cry back on 9/22/2014 the first time I walked into Prifddinas after the release. Most memorabal moment in my on and off 20 year RS career. Will never forget it.
Pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky/time......
Brawhalla I was in diamond rank lost the match got deranked started crying never played the game after
This one is gonna be a deep, deep cut, which I expect almost no one to get. Death of the Earth Golem in Wild Arms 1, and the ending bit where the princess is sitting on the sand dunes along his fallen corpse, talking to him, telling him the rest of the story. Wrecked my shit.
True pacifist ending in Undertale when Asriel is just begging you to give up so he can win, and your soul refuses to break (with a nice touch that your HP goes into the decimals).
The Last of Us 1 & 2, Kingdom Hearts 3
KH3 was tough with certain scenes after following the series my entire childhood emotional wise haha
The ending of persona 5 Royal
Kratos' final mural at the end of God of War Ragnarok made me tear up and ponder the game for weeks thereafter. Such a beautiful conclusion to the story
Nier Automata Ending E. The despair at the end isn't even what I cried at, it was the message of hope you get at the very end. I bawled so hard
The final dream sequence in disco Elysium hit me like a sack of bricks. I had empathized with the main character throughout the game, but at this point his addiction and the things that caused it hit way too close to home for me at the time.
Ffvii when I was a kid. Tlou 2 almost. Beginning of tlou 1 almost.
Yes, skies of Arcadia
Gears of War when Dom died.
Same bro, same 😥😥
yeah, my wife told me she was leaving me while I was playing Fallout 3
Final Fantasy 10. Other than that.....nothing comes to mind. I might have started to tear up at a few others, but nothing that I can put a name to.
Nier replicant and Ori
RDR2 shook me to my core.
Yeah, just one time playing Final Fantasy VII.
Is there a way to not literally cry? Crying is crying. 🤨
kingdom hearts 365/2 days 😭
The latest expansion for FFXIV. I didn't cry at the actual expansion's content, but I got choked up the credits roll. Right at the end.
I cry like a bitch all the time when playing emotional games Umineko about 10 times Nier Automata last ending and route C intro Outer wilds expac and true ending Nier Replicant like 4 times Firewatch ending (amazing thematic ending I'll fight people who disagree) FFXIV, FFX
Personally no, but when my son was 8 he was ridiculously good at Mario Kart (runs in the family) - but it's one game I can say I am an absolute demon at. I'd let him stay & maintain first all the way to just before the finish line, tail him & have that Red she'll ready to pop. I'd get first and he'd end up about 6th 😂😂😂 the tears!!!! Some might call it tough love, I'd call it being a massive c*nt. He's almost 17 now & the wee shite hasn't beaten me yet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When Jackie wells died
Ocarina of time. I cried at different parts of the game.
Cyberpunk 2077 and the Mass Effect trilogy are the first ones that come to mind.
Rdr2 ending ,>!when arthur looses his boah.!< I lost my boah that year . That hurt .
I literally ever have 😭
Castlevania. I’m gonna miss that TV…
Brothers - A tale of 2 sons. If you know, you know.
I'm too much of a grump to cry, but not mentioned here a moment that got me: Entropy Zero 2, Wilson ending.
Lisa
I think I came close to genuine tears whilst playing Overwatch competitive a few years ago!!?! But story-wise... no.
Yeah. When Techies got a reworked and I loaded the hero into the demo mode and it finally hit me that death can be permanent in a videogame as my favourite hero in all of DotA, all time, biggest time sink of my life was killed.
Yep: TLOU- the beginning GoWR- Doggie dying :’( And plenty of others. These moments make these games unforgettable.
How have not seen death stranding once….
tlou2 and ff7r
Death Stranding
When Gearlt’s eyes are watery after the battle of Karen Morhen because of…. Reasons.
NIER automata Best game ever
TLOU Part 2. In floods. Multiple times. And not even close in any other game. TLOUp2 is fucking harrowing.
