Ask Lemmy

TF2, when I get repeatedly owned by the same enemy. Especially if they're a soldier with love heart cosmetics.

The Last Of Us Part II.

Revenge. Revenge never changes.

What's done is done and it can never be undone.

It is such a tear jerker. So good

RDR2, when Arthur stopped to thank his (dying) horse (near the final mission). I got a lil choked up.

Gris. For real, go play it if you havent. Worth the story.

Yes, many times, ff7 was the first

RDR2 almost did that to me at the end

If a character dies and I liked them enough to feel sad then I usually just quit the game. Theres no point to play beyond that. Like cyberpunk 2077 I really liked Jackie and when he died I just quit half an hour later. I've picked up the game a few times since but its really not the same without my homie.

I don't get too emotional at games, but I do at music.... and even though I was laughing my ass off with joy at Metal Gear Solid 2, I cried at the ending because I just enjoyed it so much and the music hit me in the feels.

Other than that... not really. I had the most emotional investment in a game with the Mass Effect series, but by the end of 3, I was kinda checked-out when everyone was getting offed. I was already over it.

Arthur's journey teared me up a bit in RDR2.

Edit: I JUST REMEMBERED JACKIE MA FROM SLEEPING DOGS

Skyward Sword… Zelda’s story was so moving.

Honkai: Star Rail has made me ugly cry twice in the last two story patches. I didn't expect it, but the story of the Flamechase has been super emotional for me. "You shall walk with greed and die over petty change".

How comes no one mentioned plague tale (both games) ? I don't know how good the English voice acting is, but in French it was really poignant.

Destiny when Cayde 6 died. There was a goodbye message Cayde left for his son saying something like "I'm coming home". Well it was right around when my father passed and I was a fucking wreck.

Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC. One last fun ride with a bunch of friends before the final reckoning.

For added gut punch: romance Thane.

Yeah ff10 when I was like 13 lol

As someone who has had the chance to play through Xenoblade Chronicles 1 through 3, several times in 3 specifically I was very emotional.

3 is a game that's emotional on its own, and throughout its story there are several times where it hits like a truck.

But when you know about all three games, some things just hit a little harder, especially during that DLC.

There's definitely a reason I have Mio and Noah Amiibo on my desk right now.

Honestly, XC3 is probably the best RPG of that generation (of course that's on opinion. But it's a correct one 😄)

Nier and Signalis are the first two that come to mind

Honestly also Minecraft but that was mostly because I was playing during a bad time and the ost kicked in

I have sensitive eyes. Any modern AAA graphics makes them go red instantly and my eyes start leaking within 30 minutes.

Journey's ending hit me pretty hard: the score's composer, Austin Wintory, did such a great job channeling emotions into the game narrative

As annoying as she was, Fi from Skyward Sword almost made me cry at the end of the game. Well, a couple of tears.

Yep. I play FFXIV and I'm on estrogen. I cry basically every major patch cycle.

A couple of times, yes. I think the one I cried the most was the opera scene in Final Fantasy VI, it was just one of the most magnificent scenes in gaming.

I don't think I've ever had a "sad emotion" at all playing a game... I rarely have any emotion besides happy or angry playing games lol.

Brother's got me ugly crying

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

An absolute emotional rollercoaster start to end.

33/33 would recommend

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Darkness/Time/Sky

Malenia got me damn close to.

Two that I can remember.

• To The Moon
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Excellent storytelling transcends the medium, but it’s a shame that there are so few games that have managed to tug at my heartstrings.

Edit: I am reading the comments and making a list. Sometimes a good cry is the catharsis an aching soul needs.

Shadow of the Colossus. Hands down one of the saddest games I’ve ever played.

"Last day of June" is very emotional. Didn't cry but I was close.
