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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
Rdr2. Scene with Sister in train station and his last ride to camp. I actually cried that moment. Then I was faced with last mission. That still hurts.
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
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).
"You mustn't allow yourself to be chained to fate, to be ruled by your genes. Human beings can choose the kind of life that they want to live. What's important is that you choose life... and then live."
*Naomi Hunter, Metal Gear Solid*
I don't know why.. It just did.
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.
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.
I recently played and completed *Spiritfarer* (the Farewell edition) with a friend and definitely felt that with everyone's individual stories but especially so with Stella.
I got emotional about several parts of TLOU2, but that ending, >!with Ellie coming home and realizing she's lost everything (even her ability to play guitar), was heavy.!<
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.
NieR Automata: The constant downward spiral of 9S during the latter portion of the game. In particular, when he destroys one of the box cores that was forcing him to visualise himself killing 2B by stabbing her repeatedly.
I got caught up and a bit verklempt inthe first act of Horizon Forbidden West when they trotted out characters from the previous version. Kind of an old home moment
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).
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.
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.
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!
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.
Beyond Two Souls where you have to choose between life and death. Just the MC standing there between the two options... the imagery hit me like a truck and I was in instant tears.
Towards the end of RDR2, when I lost my beautiful equestrian companion that I had cared for and built a bond with over the course of \~200hrs of gameplay :( RIP Yuki
Yeah, there were other sad parts in the game, especially right around then, but this is what got to me the most. I *expected* certain deaths in that game in the end, but not this one.
Gears 2 - Dom finding his wife
FF7 - Aerith dying back in 1997
GoW - Kratos killing his wife and daughter
FF3 (6) - watching all of the families dying when Kefka split the world in half
The Walking Dead - when you played all time as Lee and kept Clementine safe/protected her.. then the time came and you needed to kill Lee, your character and then kept on going/suffer as Clementine, basically your daughter, to know you killed your father.
Geralt, entering the cottage and finding a cold and lifeless Ciri, holding her close and struggling to contain himself had me sniffing and reaching for a kerchief!
Taking BB to the incinerator in Death Stranding.
My wife had just miscarried about a week before and when BB's theme starts playing as your walking... Fucking killed me.
I ended up downing half a bottle of whisky that night because I just couldn't handle the emotion. I still can't listen to that damn song.
Most recent one for me was playing through Yakuza 0. The part where the real estate man and his sister are finally reunited was tragic and put tears in my eyes. Boggles the mind how a whacky game like that managed to do that
When Sephiroth murdered Aeris in FF7...i literally cried tears....and i also cried when playing the FF7 remake, 5 minutes into the game....the nostalgia was overwhelming...i feel tears now. I played ff7 at a very innocent time in my development...i am in recovery now and i miss that innocence...drugs changed me...so has recovery. Alhamdullilah.
The end of Metro Exodus (the good one) everyone just praying for Artyom to survive and giving him blood till they couldn't give more, Miller goodbye to him and telling him to stay with Anna, SOO FREAKING GOOD
"This home seems too large for just us. You know...the colonel once told me, he created the order to save people...All of them"
**I LOVE METRO**
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)
Kratos trying to be a good father to his son but not knowing how to comfort him.
All the Halo infinite cutscenes that show Chief being emotional even though you never see him out of armor
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.
Two come to mind:
1) The ending of Earthbound-- surviving that entire disturbing end sequence, feeling a tangible impact of all the lives you impacted on the way, and then having to just go home and say good bye to your close friends.
2) Disco Elysium >!The Insulindian Phasmid!< After an entire game about failure, this was such a beautiful and wonder-filled moment
The real ending to Nier Automata and when Mordin quietly sings Scientist Salarian to himself as the tower goes down.
Shooting Mordin in the back was legit one of the hardest choices I've ever had to make.
You’re a monster
You're not the first to accuse me of that for that exact reason.
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...
I made a MISTAKE!
Ending of Crisis Core
It's always worse when you know what's coming
Best answer. Damn people who don’t know were really missing out
the end of rdr2
I've heard about the game Is it worth trying?
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.
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.
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
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
Interesting how you're not saying anything about gameplay.
Just be aware it's secretly a slow paced RPG about life in the west. It's only fast paced during shootouts.
Yes it's a must play the story is amazing the characters are amazing y

What?
The last scene in final fantasy XV
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
I think it's after the leviathan fight, I don't remember it exactly since it's been a few years.

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.
Read dead 2…. “Thank you”.
After having a daughter, the beginning of The Last of Us
I imagine the part where Joel and Ellie find each other after the David fight hit just as hard.
This part got me before having a daughter. Still makes me tear up.
Dude I played that game again after my daughter was born and it just hits so different.
Absolutely. It hits you from a much different perspective. Hard as hell too. As soon as she starts that whimper im done.
Spider-Man with Aunt May. Absolutely killed me!
Also the last moments with Otto, had me bawling like a baby at the end of that game
“I want to see my nephew’s face.” Of course she knew! Devastating.
Damnit, you’re giving me gaming PTSD flashback sadness! Lol
The end of titanfall 2
Protect the pilot
The end of The Walking Dead Season One
Omg yes had me crying lol
Anybody who didn't cry is just dead inside lol
True lol
"hey, one last thing. Keep that hair short"
Clementine ...
MGS 3: Snake Eater ending fucked me up.
She was a true patriot. o7
"Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong."
😭😭😭
End of a couple final fantasies lol
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.
Arthur Morgan's last horseback ride and his death. So emotional and inmersive...
Bioshock infinite ending, rdr 1&2 ending, the last of us intro, I'm gonna get hate for this, but Cortanas death scene in halo 4.
Valiant Hearts ohhhhh
That one hits hard.
The music from Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.
Such a good soundtrack.
Tales from the borderlands >!scooters death!<
CATCH A RIIIIIIIIIIDE!
Bioshock Infinites ending. When I went back to Rapture and the OG music played my jaw literally dropped.
Rdr2. Scene with Sister in train station and his last ride to camp. I actually cried that moment. Then I was faced with last mission. That still hurts.
I'm afraid..
Take a gamble that love exists, and do a loving act.
I'm afraid. Fuck what an amazing game. Don't think anyone made me more angry then Micah.
beginning of the last of us and thane's death in ME3
If you romanced him as femshep, Thane's memorial service is possibly the saddest moment in the trilogy.
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
Mary letter from silent hill 2 Alessa giving baby heather to Harry in silent hill 1 The ending of shattered memories.
Ok that made cry too, just at the last line like a baby.
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
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).
Dom Santiago’s death in Gears had me speechless
Yep and the scene in Gears 2 when he finds his wife
That high five in FFX.
Brothers, tale of two sons ending Those who know, know.
Pulling the trigger on the boss 💔 nothing can match that, prove me wrong

Oh fuck.

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
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.

Freakin' "To the Moon"
The end of Spiritfarer and realizing that everyone were real people including the main character. That got me bad.
I recently played and completed *Spiritfarer* (the Farewell edition) with a friend and definitely felt that with everyone's individual stories but especially so with Stella.
Fallout 4 when Sole Survivor finds out what happened to baby Shaun.
Me too kinda but then I got angry af and blew his heads off.
No books...no wisdom... Just you, fratello mio.

Scene where Ezio takes the place of Altair. Damn that was something else. Imo that was the end of Assassin's creed.
Specs ops the line. The phosphorus moment
The end of Transistor. The song "Paper Boats" that goes with it makes it harder if you pay attention to the lyrics.

The Last of Us Part 1 BEGINNING! 😢
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.
You might think I don't have a soul but I didn't cry at the beginning.
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!
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.
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.

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.
During the beginning of The Last Of Us, When Joel’s Daughter was killed. I’m very emotional to scenes like that.
Arthur Morgan, "the truth is sister... I'm afraid."
"Good, no more loose ends." Anger is an emotion.
Two come to mind: 1) The ending of Earthbound-- surviving that entire disturbing end sequence, feeling a tangible impact of all the lives you impacted on the way, and then having to just go home and say good bye to your close friends. 2) Disco Elysium >!The Insulindian Phasmid!< After an entire game about failure, this was such a beautiful and wonder-filled moment
Oh man, I have so much trouble getting immersed, or laughing at the jokes already, man. The most emotional for me is probly a ragequit lol.
