I'm late but here's an oddball.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time
If you've never played the mystery dungeon games, you never really see your character actually speak to anyone. You have internal thoughts you can read but when you talk to others you just kinda wiggle around.
After you beat the final boss, you finally see your character speak with your partner and god damn it hit hard when I was a lad.
No, but Persona 3 came close.
BEWARE, CONTEXTUAL SPOILERS AFTER THIS
I mean, it's a very Jesus-inspired story (I wasn't religious at the time but having a self-sacrificial nature is always touching), starring a dude who is less 'social butterfly everyone knows and loves' and more 'asocial newcomer who feels somewhat annoyed with life/slightly suicidal' and then there's friendship and he finds the value of life. Bretty gud, 10/10, would definitely recommend the remake that came out recently.
Actual cry? No
Really felt something when Tali died in Mass Effect 3. Made a bad choice and she was the penalty of that choice.
It didn't quite make me cry, but the ending of Planescape Torment got me right in my feels.
Wuthering waves had me tear up a few times actually. They have some really good stories around their characters, tie that in with some of the best music I've heard in a game and it just plays with your emotions.
I'm sure anyone who has played it knows the encore story lol
I'm almost 40 years old and have been playing games my entire life, like way too much, and I can't believe I'd actually be saying wuthering waves, a freaking predatory gacha game, is probably in my top 5 best games I've ever played when considering overall quality along with how fun it is. I only found it like 2-3 months ago and I've already put over 200 hours in it... There's a joke that Kuro games is a music/anime company that attaches a game to their art.
When I was a child I was very moved by the sequence in Homeworld where they returned to Kharak. Everything was burning and Adagio for Strings playing.
I think Yakuza/Like a Dragon wins the crown for game series that's made me emotional the most times. Majima seeing Makoto in the ending of 0 and in 2, Kiryu seeing the message the orphanage kids left him in The Man Who Erased His Name, Kiryu going on a tour of his old haunts in Infinite Wealth, Majima visiting Kiryu in the hospital at the end of Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii...there are plenty more, but those all came to mind. They really use the fact that we've been following these characters for decades to the fullest extent.
I dont know why, but i cried in some wierd situations. Like at the endboss fight of ori 2 and the endboss of the pacifist ending of undertale. And not after the fight, during! I think it's some kind of being overstimulated and way to much things are happening, but in a nice way with the exact amount of difficulty.
I will have to add The House in Fata Morgana to the list.
I think most recently I cried while playing Wandersong; such a great game!
Two that I can remember.
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.
The final battle in Lisa: The Joyful got me. That he doesn’t even attack you - that he hugs you - while “He’s My Dad” plays…
Just recently with and Roger
It hit me hard, definitely recommend, with the heads up that it’s only about an hour long.
A few times. Ones that come to mind
Gears 3 : DOOOOMMMMMM NOOOOOOOOO
Spiritfarer : Hedgehog grandma goodbye
Brothers : a tale of 2 sons. The ending.
What remains of Edith finch: fish factory, baby and ending.
Halo Reach, just a little tiny bit : New Objective- Survive.
Yes, alot
No video game's story has ever made me cry. But I've cried a little from games that I loved, but played to death, getting every achievement and realizing there was absolutely nothing more to experience.
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit got me pretty darn close.
Braid definitely got me lumpy at the end.
