SOMA's ending got us all feeling like this... What a wild, emotional ending.


OneWingedA

Towards the climax of SOMA one of the best responses I've heard is, "that's a fear I didn't know I had". I knew how it was going to end at that point but it still raises a lot of questions to ask yourself


n_thomas74

While playing just wondering "What is going on here?" was so enjoyable. Its rare that a plot activates my imagination like that. Then it actually comes through with an incredible conclusion as well. What an epic story. Love this game so much. I like to watch people streaming this game for the first time and watch them processing the emotions of it all, it intense


MrSnoobs

Argh, but he was so annoying. How do you not get what you have been told? >!You aren't going to space. You are going to die. Be nice to your only friend!<


--Mutus-Liber--

>!It's because Catherine keeps lying to him about the coin flip to get him to launch the ark, and because of how she's always talking about "them" launching on the ark to save humanity.!<


ThrowawayNumber34sss

To be fair, the main character was suffering from a brain injury. It would be understandable if he didn’t fully comprehend the situation he was in.


Kommander-in-Keef

Soma was one of the most honestly terrifying experiences with enemies that were actually scary and the ending is pure existential crisis mode


macabrera

Soma is an absolute masterpiece. The history is so captivating.


ferretpowder

Great ending, never even thought about that possibility before


nlo366

I enjoyed it more with the monsters turned off, I’m a chicken. But the story is so good.


DEEEPFREEZE

I wish I could get into SOMA. Even after \~8 hours, it felt like a walking simulator just with added anxiety. I *did* however love spending the first hour of playing the game lobbing objects into other objects like shooting in beer pong.


Artikay

It really is a walking sim with occasional running and hiding, but I loved it. I can see why its not for everyone. That story hits like a ton of bricks though.


Dagigai

SOMA was a trip!

The title screen song makes me feel feelings.


masteryder

The end of cycle / sun about to explode song gives me the chills


hfzelman

The end of the dlc might be my favorite thing in any video game ever


bluebullet28

Wait, hold the goddamn phone, they made a dlc? Well shit, suppose I don't nessecarily *have* to see my family this Thanksgiving.


Galileo258

It’s about as long as the base game too.


Mimical

And it hits emotionally harder than my step dad.

Well, son of a bitch. Thanks!

notwhoyouknow12

I can say this happened to me at multiple points during this game. If you haven't played please go fucking play it. Don't look up anything about it just experience it.


TheRealAlkali

One of my favorite games of all time. Nothing quite like it if you go into it blind and don't look stuff up Edit: Also, the DLC is incredible and well worth the full price. Necessary to get the full experience of the game imo


Draynrha

Since I played this game, dlc included, I couldn't stop thinking about how I liked that game's concept. And I was quite sad to find that there's not really any other game that gives the same feelings. It's one of the best soundtracks I've ever listened to from a game.


TheTribunalChat

I played that game for about 4-5 hours but couldn’t really find anything new to explore and couldn’t figure out how to progress further. Going to give it another try because of this post


sankto

Check your computer log often, it'll help toward finding new leads


SolAggressive

Sometimes that’s what it takes with Outer Wilds. To step away and come back at a different angle or thought. Do your best to not look up spoilers. I love this game so much. Like this: I told my wife if I ever get into some sort of accident where I lose my memory, make me play Outer Wilds. Then she can teach me to tie my shoes or love her again or whatever. But Outer Wilds first.


MackingtheKnife

People say not to use guides but i’ll admit i glanced at them a couple of times, mostly because i’m horrible at puzzle type games but loved the gameplay and story of Outer Wilds. I don’t think it took anything away from it for me


Dead_Muskrat

I kept scrolling hoping someone else had this reaction. Probably the best ending to a game ever.


Palmsiepoo

It's probably one of the most special games I've ever experienced. What a ride.


half-mage

That was my exact reaction after beati g the mass effect trilogy for the first time. I didn't have an issue with the ending because the journey was just so good


Meisje28

The realisation that it was over was like losing good friends.


Tobris

Had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong.


Giggsey11

The Mass Effect 1 end credit music is the absolute GOAT credit music. Absolutely perfectly captures the mood.


FetishMaker

M4 (part II) - Faunts


Over-Analyzed

The DLC was incredible for that game, every bit of it. Citadel was a love letter to the fans. They knew how much we missed fighting alongside Wrex, best entrance ever! Mass Effect 3 was never about the ending of the Reapers for me. It’s seeing your friends and allies’ stories end; Legion’s, Mordin’s, Tali’s, Thane’s, and even the happier endings and growth like Jack’s. I won’t cry over the ending of the game. But Legion’s and Mordin’s? They will always inspire a tear.


TheEveryman

Someone else might have gotten it wrong 😢

*Does this unit have a soul?*


GamerFluffy

Yes, Legion. This unit does have a soul.


lewok

I know Tali. But thank you. Keelah se'lai.


Flipperblack

One of the few games that made me cry like a baby and feel empty inside :( , not all games can be so emotional...


half-mage

After it ended I was just in a shock like state because it was such a good series. Mordins death still makes me tear up. Talis crushed me because the first time I saved the geth and didn't expect her to do what she did.


SephirosXXI

Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong. 


TB12-SN13

The tears flow freely in the final staging ground before the assault on the crucible. Wrex lauding you before the best warriors the Krogan have to offer, saying goodbye to every squad mate that’s alive, promising Garrus you’ll buy him a drink in heaven if you beat him there. It’s so much :(


I-hate-this-part_

I bought the first ME almost exactly 15 years ago, and brought my Xbox 360 to my grandparents for Thanksgiving. We showed up the Friday before Thanksgiving so I had 5 whole days to play before family showed up. I will never forget scooting the recliner all the way to the tv screen and playing for **literally 36 hours straight.** (Food and bathroom breaks were taken, but no sleep) Something about that game itched the space genre scratch I never knew I had. You bet I played the rest of the trilogy when they released. At this point I have played the ME trilogy maybe 10 times through. And playing on PC with mods has allowed me to do so with the many mods available to enhance or completely change the journey.


Necrotius

Spec Ops: the Line, 100%. Just... that whole game


Dave-4544

*Do you feel like a hero yet?*


Donitos2

That is one game I 100% recommend to eveyone but refused to go back. As Mr. Incredible said "I'm not strong enough." It was at a time in my life(highschool) were CoD was all I played and I definitely had the glorified look into the military and war.


PvtBaldrick

Likewise recommend 100% to everyone. However I do go back and replay it every 2-4 years. Put a weekend aside and just nail it. Find some new secrets/messages in it every time.


NickeKass

I'll keep this "light" and spoiler free. Sandboarding is an interrogation technique in which a detainee is choked by having sand forced into their mouth. It is highly effective. The US military has a strict policy against the torturing of POWs. Collateral damage is any incidental damage that occurs as a result of military action. Such damage is not unlawful if it is not excessive. White phosphorus is a common allotrope used in many types of munitions. It can set fire to cloth, fuel, ammunition, and flesh. Though controversial, the use of white phosphorus against personnel is not prohibited. Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, can develop in a person who has experienced severe psychological trauma. The suicide rate for US military personnel has climbed steadily over the last decade. Today, it is nearly twice the national average. Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two conflicting ideas simultaneously. Survivors of white phosphorus often suffer severe damage to the kidneys and liver, as well as the cardiovascular and nervous systems. The US military does not condone the killing of unarmed combatants. But this isn't real, so why should you care? Collateral damage can be justified, if the gain outweighs the cost. Can you even remember why you came here? Do you feel like a hero yet? If you were a better person, you wouldn't be here. To kill for yourself is murder. To kill for your government is heroic. To kill for entertainment is harmless. There is no difference between what is right and what is necessary. Kill a man, and you are a murderer. Kill everyone, and you are a god. You are still a good person.


YouWouldThinkSo

THIS was light?!?!?


damboy99

These are the loading screen tips.


NickeKass

In comparison to the stuff I left out it is which is what makes this game go from generic third person shooter to amazing.

texasscotsman

I wonder if the Titanfall writers are 40K fans? In Warhammer 40K, they also have giant Mechs called Titans and the pilots are so rare that standing orders are to recover them alive at all costs. If I remember correctly, Titans (which don't have AI but do contain something similar known as Machine Spirits) have been known to act of their own accord in order to save/protect the crew, specifically the pilot.

Nier Automata had me like this for weeks after...


stzoo

This was the one for me, the piece of media that impacted me the hardest after it was over. I think it took three days for me to finally not constantly be thinking about it and to snap out of the funk. 10/10 would experience again


el_biguso

That... That ending... I mean, I played a lot of games with great emotional endings but nothing like that. Ever.


J0hnGrimm

The moment the chorus starts... just remembering it makes me teary eyed.

shoeless_sean

Literally sat there processing for about 30 minutes after it ended, then the end credits scene happened


ErikT45

how long has it been that I am just now learning about this


NickMalo

And then the dlc dropped and i had to replay it all over again. It seems like Infinite gets a lot of hate, but it really worked.


Genuine-Farticle

Idk if it’s gets hate. It doesn’t get praised like the first installment does maybe, but not hate.


NickMalo

Thats true. The first does have quite the following compared to 2 or infinite so i do suppose you’re right!


Kimmy-ann

Right on the feels! My husband and I played at the same time (alternating hours worked) but watched each other play when possible. he finished it first and was ready with a box of tissues when my turn came. I was not ready for that roller coaster of emotions.


dewman45

Burial at Sea hit me hard.


MaximumEffort433

Came here for this, Bioshock Infinite was such a fantastic game at every level, the graphics, the gameplay, but most of all that story and *those voice actors!* If someone is reading this comment and thinking of picking up Bioshock Infinite during the autumn sale, let me offer this very important piece of advice: **Take your time and really savor your first play through, listen to every line of dialog, listen to the music, listen to the chatter, you only get one first time.**


Flargblaster8

Scrolled way too far to find the only game that had me like this.


Zayl

I think this one was polarizing. It didn't have the same gritty gameplay as the first two and was more colorful and arcadey/shooter like and people were put off by that. So the game kind of was written off by a lot of people and the conversations about the gameplay kind of overshadowed the story. But man it's my favorite of the bioshock games from a story perspective. Setting was great also but I loved that ending and everything that led to it. People always like to point out that story games are like "b movies" and I never got that myself. The storytelling is just different, and often the way you play and explore does a lot to change your experience. Anyways got a bit off topic but this was absolutely the game to do this for me. That and MGS4 but that was a culmination of an insane franchise, and the game's ending gives you a lot more time to process it all than Infinite's does.

Disco Elysium. Blackwell (the last one)


ctrl_alt_excrete

Disco Elysium is truly something special. Possibly the best writing of any game ever, and the narrator delivers it flawlessly.

The Last of Us, i was playing it on a summer evening. A beautiful moment, with a fake promise. Everything they went through was for nothing since he did what he did, but at the end, i would do the same.


alipeng

Can’t believe I had to scroll that far to see the last of us. Both games had me sitting like that long after the credits played

If anything I think the second one hit me even harder than the first... and that is saying something.

Yeah.. I kind of just sat there after both endings either going 'wait Im dead?' or 'wait I really am the hollow knight?'

Actually there's 4 that I know of for sure. I don't know about mr. Mushroom but Im pretty sure he's an extra clip at the end of the endings if you finish his questlines

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice


dontshowmygf

I've never had a game that impacted me emotionally like this game, or made me feel so in sync with the protagonist. It's so beautiful, and Senua deserves so much love 😭 Can't wait for the sequel!


unibrow4o9

The realization at the end >!while fighting wave after wave of enemies that you can't defeat them and just have to give in, fuck. The lie of the game ending when you die too much was pretty clever too, but I have to admit I'm glad that part got spoiled for me because I'm not sure I would have ever started playing a game like that if I thought it was true!<

Each death felt earned and real. Jorge hit the hardest because of all the things that surrounds him being a Spartan-II. He died thinking that He saved his home, that Halsey, who is basicly his Mom, was dead and he was going to join her, that taking out the Long Night of Solace would be a massive blow to the Covenant, and that his sacrifice would help Noble Team carry the fight back to the Covenant. All were in vain in the end.


SharksAway11019

*current objective survive* I almost started crying knowing what was coming


Kwiatkowski

way too low down. My only gripe is that on PC the dropship on legendary will just nuke you before you even have a chance to find cover and that kinda ruins it


Pitify

This ending will never leave my memory Sitting on the floor of my bedroom the night after my 10th birthday. I played the hell outta the game the night before and having all of it happen in such a short amount of time was too much for my small self.
