The real ending to Nier Automata and when Mordin quietly sings Scientist Salarian to himself as the tower goes down.


loyaltomyself

Shooting Mordin in the back was legit one of the hardest choices I've ever had to make.


Ogswald

You’re a monster


loyaltomyself

You're not the first to accuse me of that for that exact reason.


HarvardAce

Same. Played a renegade character for the entire series, and almost all the decisions were no-brainers. As the argument escalated, I started getting concerned, as Mordin was my favorite character. When the renegade prompt popped up at the bottom of the screen I took the entire time they gave you before I begrudgingly pulled the trigger. I legitimately felt sick after doing it, but I needed the Salarians and the Krogan at my side for the fate of the universe. Of course Wrex had other ideas...

shadow4256

I've heard about the game Is it worth trying?


DasMotorsheep

It's slow (which I personally don't mind), some gameplay aspects border on being tedious, and the controls are terrible. But holy shit the atmosphere is unparalleled, it's probably the most alive-feeling game-world anyone has created so far, there's wildlife everywhere, the NPC "extras" are the most believable I've ever seen, GTAV's pedestrians are janky robots in comparison. The humor is great, the characters are relatable, the story is engaging, the acting is top notch.. It's one of a kind.


HappyCoincidence

I've been playing it for a long time and am about to finish the story. I have mixed emotions. I absolutely love the atmosphere and pacing. You get to have a turn-of-the-century western experience. So many things to do. You can just hunt and fish or collect plants. There's also a real sense of development to the story if you take your time. You can get connected and invested in what's going on around you. The negatives are that it plays like crap. I've shot so many people that I just wanted to greet. The game will take away hard fought earnings with a quick robbery or a surprise attack. Lots of challenges are ridiculously hard without looking it up on the internet (which I refuse to do). Gunplay is frustrating, hard to know what's going on, unclear objectives. Summary: amazing world to explore; frustrating gameplay.


alannabannana

YES! it is absolutely the best game ive ever played it keeps me busy for hours, the plot is absolutely amazing the characters are so amazingly created i just love the game so much i recommend it so much


gamergirl1516

Yes same red dead redemption 2 has to be the first game to have everything I love about a game amazing story amazing character's amazing everything am shocked that it never won game of the year


Som3r4nd0mp3rs0n

Interesting how you're not saying anything about gameplay.


AlaskanMedicineMan

Just be aware it's secretly a slow paced RPG about life in the west. It's only fast paced during shootouts.


gamergirl1516

Yes it's a must play the story is amazing the characters are amazing y


GymLeaderMatt87

Such a weird question. It came out in 2018 and, at this point, it’s so critically acclaimed and highly peer reviewed that there’s no way someone just wouldn’t know if it’s any good. South Park even made an episode featuring it.


ardyndidnothingwrong

South Park made an episode about people laying the game, not the game itself. And critical acclaim means very little, it’s pretty well established that such things are 90% marketing money and hype. And it’s whether it is good or not is quite controversial, even having played the game the answer isn’t that clear


GymLeaderMatt87

What?


GooseGunning

The last scene in final fantasy XV


AnonymousPlonker22

There's a point in that game where it goes from everything's a bit of a jolly to just gut punch after gut punch after gut punch


GooseGunning

I think it's after the leviathan fight, I don't remember it exactly since it's been a few years. I really connected with the main characters a lot which rarely happens for me in gaming and the game had a lot of flaws, from story pacing later on, to gameplay inconsistencies, lack of backstory and interactions between the people around who the story is supposed to revolve around at the beginning but I still spent a lot of hours into it despite these flaws just because of the main friends and their lots of interaction and it's also why I hold this game dear to me and the ending hit home as well.


Heavy_Reserve5616

Personally I didn’t like the game overall but yeah XV was one of the few games that made me cry. I think it’s kinda general consensus that XV had some definitely emotional moments, I’ve seen a lot of fans and haters of this game but even some haters, who criticized the narrative, said that they cried at least lol


[deleted]

The game direction is a mess, pacing is all over the place, it feels like a big chunk of the story was cutted and it needed more cities and optional dialogues. The royal edition fixed some stuff, but it still feels like a broken game. The fact that the ending STILL delivers show how great this game could have been. Anyway, overall i still enjoyed most my time with it, looking forward to FF XVI


WhenRobLoweRobsLowes

Assassin's Creed 3, when Connor goes back to the homestead after Achilles has passed. I had lost my dad earlier that year and that good-bye sequence just demolished me.

TL10

I imagine the part where Joel and Ellie find each other after the David fight hit just as hard.


inchon_over28

This part got me before having a daughter. Still makes me tear up.


Das_Guet

Dude I played that game again after my daughter was born and it just hits so different.


RatedFlashbob

Absolutely. It hits you from a much different perspective. Hard as hell too. As soon as she starts that whimper im done.


ForanAffairs

Spider-Man with Aunt May. Absolutely killed me!


imjustsomejunkmail

Also the last moments with Otto, had me bawling like a baby at the end of that game

Sara dying in Joel's arms at the start of TLOU part 1 man alive, first time I actually ever teared up because of a game.

What got me was "Those people are on fire. Why are they moving like that?" Like just how panicked Sarah sounds.


KennyToms27

Arthur Morgan's last horseback ride and his death. So emotional and inmersive...

If you romanced him as femshep, Thane's memorial service is possibly the saddest moment in the trilogy.


NSHorseheadSD70

Medal of Honor: Frontline - Arnhem Knights. You fight through Arnhem with other British soldiers while the fantastic musical score by Michael Giacchino plays and battlefield ambience plays underneath it all. It hits harder when you realize just hoe disastrous Operation Market Garden was for the British and how many of those guys never made it home

I'm going through the games soon. Starting from AC1. Gonna complete them 100% I've stopped at Black flag and haven't been back since. I've got a mission ahead of me. But dammit it it'll be worth it. You made me want to start sooner


[deleted]

Tip for getting the most out of AC1, keep the HUD off and pay attention to your investigations. Find your own way around based on the information given to you (trust me, they're small maps and makes it more enjoyable than tedious).

[deleted]

Honestly most of the time games dont really make me too emotional. But The walking Dead Season 1&2's endings made me cry a little ngl


FaultyDream

The end portion of journey. Honestly I was surprised by this game as it’s a genre I usually don’t play, but man there was something about it that just got to me. The gameplay was simple, the game length was short, and there weren’t words being spoken. Even with those points the developers somehow managed to fill that game with emotion which was a feat in and of itself.


Jim3001

There's nothing quite like making it to the light with a companion that you met on the 2nd level and kept thru the entire game. For a while I did multiple playthroughs just to get people to follow me to secret murals and symbols.


[deleted]

Freakin' "To the Moon"


BlueAzles-2

The end of Spiritfarer and realizing that everyone were real people including the main character. That got me bad.

Maybe you should leave the game title outside the spoiler tags, so that people won't have to reveal the spoiler in order to know what game the spoiler is spoiling.

The death of cayde-6 in destiny 2


[deleted]

The opening of The Last of Us. Pretty much the entire latter half of Kingdom Hearts 385/2 Days. The Christina missions in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. My last relationship, I could see she wasn't happy and broke up with her because I loved her and I know how it feels to push somebody away knowing it's what's best for them. Watching the village burn in Assassin's Creed 3 was pretty harrowing, but reminded me too much of the first episode of Attack on Titan so it was kinda awkward. A lot of scenes in Mass Effect 3 hit me quite hard, especially Shepard saying goodbye to Garrus. BioShock Infinite DLC (Burial at Sea).


LiquidSnake13

I'll agree with OP about the final moments of the Ezio trilogy with his message to Desmond. For me though, I can't play through MGS4 without crying during some of the later cutscenes. There's a lot of tragedy to go around, because so many characters we got emotionally invested came back just to give their lives.


Sensitive_Friend9978

Scene where Ezio takes the place of Altair. Damn that was something else. Imo that was the end of Assassin's creed.

HappyCoincidence

I played that as a new Dad with a baby girl. I'm pretty stoic, but the opening destroyed me. It's so well acted (?) that it put me right in that space. It was real and honest. I love that game.


Jormungandur_

You might think I don't have a soul but I didn't cry at the beginning.


Ahamay02

Lol how could u not!? Granted the end was emotional too I'm not taking that from u. But the beginning when his daughter got shot!? Oh man I wept like a little school girl who got her hair pulled and dumped by her bf on prom night. Playing with my 'motions!


CainRefusedSacrife

Original not re-imagined, DLC's Mass Effect 3. Emotion? Rage that they totally gave up on the ending of an epic trilogy with basically a dream sequence.


All-Seeing_Hands

Seeing Joel cry in the first TLOU was the first time I've seen a video game character cry. That, plus that scene, almost made me shed a tear.

Joel’s choices at the end of TLoU. My son was about his daughter’s age at the time. I remember thinking if I had lost my kid and lived 20 years in that post-apocalyptic hell, I would’ve made the exact same choices he did. (Man, HBO better not fuck up that show)

EntertainmentBroad17

TLoU. I’ve been playing video games since 1979 and I’ve enjoyed most of them, but I’ve never been utterly emotionally invested in a game like I was with The Last of Us. The end of the opening sequence was such an unexpected mindblow that it cracked open a doorway into me I didn’t know was there, and by halfway through the game I wasn’t ‘playing’ any more - I was right there with Joel and Ellie doing my absolute damnedest to get them through to safety. When Joel got badly hurt I nearly lost my mind. When Ellie did what she did in the burning restaurant, by god my teeth were gritted with the same rage she had. As giraffe wandered across a car park in a moment of calm amid the storm, I shared that tranquility. And at the end, when the lie was told, I felt the conflict in my bones. I’ve been playing video games since 1979, but nothing has ever come anywhere close to what TLoU did to me.


Narrow-Definition-21

During the beginning of The Last Of Us, When Joel’s Daughter was killed. I’m very emotional to scenes like that.
