For me, it was Princess Rosalina’s backstory in Super Mario Galaxy.

Damn near everything in Nier Gestalt/Replicant. That game wrecks me every time I play it.

Stray ending

Bastion's near-ending, if you forgive

spoilerZulf and his boys gradually stop trying to off you.

More of a playable story, but the entirety of Dear Esther is a bit heart wrenching.

I got all fucked up inside when Agro died in Shadow of the Colossus.

Mafia 1. "Mr. Salieri sends his regards". Need I say more?

No spoilers but the ending of Life Is Strange made me cry.

[–] RyruGrr@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Life is strange. Repeatedly.

I was pretty emotionally stunted and depressed as a teenager and had trouble crying even when I wanted to (it's a horrible feeling, physically) so Earthbound and Mother 3 were therapeutic

The first time was in Mass Effect 3, when Liara shows you her project in your cabin. For me, this was the first time in the trilogy where I felt that we could really lose the war against the reapers.

Another very good moment was in Life is Strange Before the Storm, when Chloe finds her dad's car in the junkyard. That hit hard.

Mass Effect 3: "Leaving Earth"

Hl2 EP2's ending

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

The ending of Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, it was just so cool and and so well done. What a great final boss when compared to Breath of the wild.

[–] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

FFXIV, over and over. The kind of nobility and self sacrifice displayed in that story has set me crying several times. Honestly, I can feel it a little bit just thinking of some of those moments, but I try to smile through it.

Because a smile better suits a hero.

I tried to install Skyrim and my disc was unreadable

Getting the True Ending in the base game of Outer Wilds. Including the credits, including after the credits. So beautifully bittersweet.

Horizon zero dawn is the game that got me. Getting closer to the end just got me sadder and sadder.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Pretty much everything in The Last of Us Part 1 & 2.

Have probably done that over a bunch of games over the years but can't remember much of them but the one game that immediately comes to mind is spiritfarer. Had so many touching farewells and some of them were too relatable to be not shed a tear. Man Atul left me speechless for days, I still need more hugs.

[–] overthebrink90@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ori and the Will of the Wisps has some great emotional moments that are complemented by a fantastic soundtrack. Learning about Shriek's backstory after being hunted by her the entire game was just too much.

[–] Nightsoul@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Before your eyes

Game that uses your blinking as it's controls

Ending just had me in tears

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Beginning of last of us part 1.
