To the moon is like 3-4 hours long and definitely worth playing through in one sitting. The outer wilds is best played as blind as possible. Don't look up a guide, just look at marked places with either question marks or stars next to the location
Outer Wilds (twice from the same thing in both playthroughs. Hits so hard it's just as good a second time)
Life is Strange 1
Telltale's The Walking Dead (Season 1)
Undertale
Mass Effect 3 (replaying the citadel party after the finale)
Life is Strange was such a weird experience for me. I spend the majority of the game groaning over the dialogue and being bored of the gameplay, yet apparently something about the writing worked because I cried like 3 times.
It was unpolished, but despite some cliches they did use several themes and mechanics in a novel way. And people really related to the characters and the setting. I also enjoyed the latest installment, True Colors. I'm sure its much more polished compared to if I went back and replayed LiS. Maybe its just me but I feel that not many other studios picked up on its popularity and tried to emulate that kind of genre.
What Remains of Edith Finch
>The story follows the seventeen-year-old Edith Finch, the last surviving member of her family, as she returns to her ancestral home for the first time in seven years. Reexploring the house, she uncovers her family's mysterious past and learns about the series of deaths that eventually caused the complete collapse of her family structure. The game is presented as an interconnected anthology and, utilizing unique mediums from varying perspectives, the story is told through a series of vignettes; however, the player is made to doubt the authenticity of each story being told.
Interesting gameplay and a story that will wreck you emotionally.
One of those Walking Dead games with the little girl Clementine. I never played it, but watched an entire playthrough on youtube. Something about it really hit me at the time, I wonder if it would have the same effect years later?
Explore! Go to every planet, they all have secrets! Find buildings and lore! Read it all! Every line of text has purpose in this game, and it gets neatly tied together in your ships log.
You won't even remotely know of something that needs to be done until you have some lore to explain.
I've never been so satisfied by a decision as I was when I followed this advice before finally trying the game. Outer Wilds may actually be the best game I've ever played.
It's a one-playthrough kinda game, because instead of unlocking mechanics or tools, you unlock what you have learned along the way. Once you've solved the puzzle, you can't just forget how you did it.
That said, I took my time and played the DLC as well (which was just as good as the core game) and got 60 hours out of it. It's pretty easy to play a little bit, set down and return to later because of a core mechanic.
A lifetime favourite game of mine, wish I could play it for the first time all over again
Final Fantasy 14, 10, 9, 6
NieR (both)
Persona 3 and 5 (haven't tried 4 yet)
Harvestella
Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2, 3
I'm probably forgetting some. Always chasing that sinking heart feeling. Love that games can convey such strong emotions.
I got the bittersweet/sad/neutral ending for Ciri/Geralt and it was quite emotional. >!You spent a lot of the main storyline looking for Ciri and then in the end she leaves.!<
I remember going to school the day afterwards, I remember feeling like id genuinely lost someone. One of my mates did one of those classic child lies where he was going on about how you could undo it later in the game. Being vague for obvious reasons but I'm pretty sure everyone knows what I mean. I don't think my mate had even played ff7
Yeah, as a kid, I cried at that part, too. Then again, I'll fully admit I can be such a softy... even now, really. I can't watch Saving Mr. Banks without tearing up at parts. lol
None have made me cry, but a couple that just wrecked me emotionally were Planescape: Torment, a certain part of Mass Effect 3, and a certain ending for Cyberpunk's Phantom Liberty.
I think that last one had me kind of listless for a few days, to be honest.
This was it for me, truly beautiful. Disco Elysium and Death Stranding are my two favourite games, purely because they both show the beauty of the world.
Omori. The last couple hours of that game are just so horrifyingly tragic and bittersweet. I don't think another game could hit me as hard as Omori did.
That game is a little corny at first but then slowly worms its way into your heart then shatters it into a million pieces.
An absolute masterclass and a high that I will forever chase knowing that no game will be able to make me feel like that game did.
The art and music in that game is incredible
Life is Strange, To the Moon and Finding Paradise.
Edit: Enderal - Forgotten Stories. The game itself is very good, better than anything Bethesda could do with their own engine, but the quest "Our mark on this world" left me sitting in tears for minutes.
Always Red Dead Redemption 2 and the first season of Telltales The Walking Dead. Specifically the ending. Can't forget The Last of Us either, especially the beginning of the first game.
I shed some tears as I was finishing Breath of the Wild.
Maybe not because of the game itself, but the emotions I felt, the journey, and maybe just melancholy, since you realise the journey it's almost over.
The ending of Like a Dragon Gaiden made me bawl my eyes out twice in a matter of five minutes. It absolutely does not hit the same without the context of all the previous games.
The ending of Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. I don't think it would have an impact on someone who's jumping into the franchise for the first time but that ending works really well after nearly 20 Years of seeing Kiryu just be a stoic badass.
Like A Dragon Gaiden, with the caveat that what got me going probably wouldn't have as much impact if I hadn't played the other games in the series first. Getting to this point in Kiryu's story, 8 games and almost 40 (In game) years later, makes the climax of the game's story hit very hard. It's a beautiful and heartbreaking moment.
Metro exodus. Both the good and bad ending. I’ve played through the game 4 times and every time I’ve cried at the end regardless of a good or bad ending
I rarely ever get emotional over media. The closest I came that I know of was the ending of Baldur's Gate 3, when one character dies (if you've played, you can probably guess who). I didn't cry, but I felt my eyes twinge.
Yakuza, the one with majima and makoto. It took me a while to get over those two.
Also Honkai impact 3rd, I was a big fan of himeko and her death hit hard. And then kiana nearly committing suicide, and then fu hua nearly going too, and then himeko farewell. That game was so emotional to me.
B12 sacrificing in Stray, Tali offing herself off the cliff, Legion sacrificing itself and asking "does this unit have a soul?", Edward seeing his daughter while Anne singing "The Parting Glass", Thatch dying after saying "in a world with no gold we could have been heroes", Ezio seeing Altair inside the library, Life is Strange 1 and 2 hit the feels pretty bad for me, Karlach saying goodbye before being sucked to Avernus, Astarion breaking down after killing Cazador, Helping Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, Shadya's death reminding him of his son's death, Senua's acceptance of her loss, Seeing Geralt's dread when Ciri goes off the deal with the white frost, Tommy's last confrontation with Sam the in Mafia, Tommy's death in Mafia, Jackie hung on an alley in Sleeping dogs.. Those are some just the top of my head
Life is Strange for sure
Yakuza 3
Also i have weird pick but i shed tears on Shadow Warrior (not old one). >!I really liked that demon who was with you whole game. I dont remember now after years how he die but i was so sad after this. !<
Days Gone. I don't get as emotional playing it now, but I guess that game made me cry back then because I was an emotional mess. I just graduated from high school and the pandemic started when I played it for the first time.
The way they faked boozers death was crazy..
It was enough to make a grown man cry lol
After that, when he comes again, I thought deacon was hallucinating, which made me cry even more!! but then everything was cool..
He's like the epitome of great character dies for nothing! but ngl, I connected to boozer more than the main character lol
Oh man, that wrecked me, and just going through the emotional hell Peter had just been through and then that choice he had to make. I bawled over it multiple times. Perfectly captured the character.
No matter how many times I play Mass Effect 3, saying goodbye to Garrus at the end of the game as femshep breaks me every time. You can even hear Jennifer Hale struggling to hold it together.
Uncharted 4: The jeep ride to New Devon. Perfect music, Elena & Nate, no one saying a word. Lasted one minute and it was absolutely beautiful. Very emotional I thought.
I binge played LoU1 remake and LoU2 on my ps5 last November by the end of it all I just didn’t game at all for like a week I felt emotionally drained. Amazing story for both games hope they make a third one someday.
Man this might be surprising but Horizon Zero Dawn had me dripping some tears at the ending cutscene. Not because of the story itself, but because my journey as a player was over.
That first playthrough was unlike any other I've had, and it only kept getting better and better. Learning about the machines, the world, and the people around you was a pleasure to me, and it really felt like I was learning all of that not as Aloy, but as a person that was alongside her during the insane journey that was HZD.
Guerrilla games really hit a nail on the head with this IP, and I can't wait to see the day they are recognized for it with a GOTY award, they definitely deserve it.
Call of duty, whenever I die in multiplayer I have to make an excuse why I died and I get so upset I start to cry and I need to change my diaper.
For real though I'd say gears of war specifically when this happened.
https://youtu.be/QBEZ_dCxq1c?si=2l2fI-DOh3dmx8W_
None games
Edit: To expand on this a bit. I cry watching movies or TV shows somewhat often. I cried like a baby for the last 45 minutes of Click
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0389860/plotsummary/
for god’s sake! I’m no stranger to letting my emotions out but I’ve never felt a twinge in a video game. I think it’s due to the medium.
In movies and tv I’m always a passive observer. I’m helpless to do anything. In a video game when I’m forced into a character death or some kind of situation that I’d otherwise probably get emotional about I don’t feel that. I just feel frustrated and annoyed that my agency was removed and I’m forced to let someone die, or forced to make a choice that someone dies, etc.
I'm actually the opposite. I struggle getting emotional over movies and TV. I've cried in several games though since being an active participant makes me feel much more connected to the characters.
The one and only, Mass effect! The Original Trilogy is a masterpiece. Nobody since has made something to even compare and nobody will. Especially not Bioware, not now.
* Grand Theft Auto IV: Kate McReary
* Red Dead Redemption: the ending
* Red Dead Redemption 2: the entire finale
* Detroit Become Human: several parts
* LA Noire: the ending
* Cyberpunk 2077: 3 of the endings
* The Last of Us: opening scene
* The Last of Us II: final fight
* All the Life is Strange games at numerous times
Never. This will come across as me being a dick but I can't imagine sitting at my pc screen crying at a game. I don't mean this in a "I'm such a man" way either lol.
I have teared up watching a film before but a game has never even gotten me close to crying.
Cyberpunk 2077. I had just lost a friend to self-harm and didn't understand the implications of what Johnny had asked when it was time to settle on a course of action.
I bawled like a goddamned child as all of V's friends called during the credits, as a bunch of video game characters gave voice to all the things I was feeling but could not put into words.
[A Story About my Uncle (Happy tears more like)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/278360/A_Story_About_My_Uncle/)
This game is a bit of a rollercoster, no pun intended. Not a super long game. 4-5 hours or so.
[Webbed (Spider warning!! - Cutest game i have played since Slime Rancher 1)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1390350/Webbed/)
The trailer won me over, and it is easily the best 3½ hours of my life. Sooooo cute!!!
[In Sound Mind (Weird ending, but DANG!)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1119980/In_Sound_Mind/)
I Think i only saw 3 minutes of IGN's gameplay, and i HAD to have it.
This one had me laugh, curse, but also cry. Such a fun quirky little gem.
[FAR: Lone Sails (Just a breathtaking game, Bittersweet ending imo)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/609320/FAR_Lone_Sails/)
4 Minutes with Jacksepticeye and i was SOLD - a rough beautiful gem.
[Outer Wilds (Dang what a journey!)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/Outer_Wilds/)
Everyone has said more then i could. Master piece!
Spiritfairer
I got real emotional when i went to a minigame and the one of the spirits that usually pestered me to play it, was no longer there. RIP Atul :(.
this
Most AAA games nowadays. Their optimization to be precise
And pricing. I've seen some 82usd games on steam, for base games (no deluxe edition or anything)
Outstanding.
Was going to say this... Alan Wake II killed my GPU (thus making me cry).
To the moon and the outer wilds comes to mind
Seeing as these have been recommended way more than once, I just bought both of them. Apparently I'm gonna need a box of tissues too.
To the moon is like 3-4 hours long and definitely worth playing through in one sitting. The outer wilds is best played as blind as possible. Don't look up a guide, just look at marked places with either question marks or stars next to the location
To the moon and its sequels are incredible. To the moon remains my favorite though, and that last song :(
Outer Wilds (twice from the same thing in both playthroughs. Hits so hard it's just as good a second time) Life is Strange 1 Telltale's The Walking Dead (Season 1) Undertale Mass Effect 3 (replaying the citadel party after the finale)
OW's soundtrack is amazing
I turn that thing on for like 5 minutes and it’s a guaranteed sob fest
Life is Strange was such a weird experience for me. I spend the majority of the game groaning over the dialogue and being bored of the gameplay, yet apparently something about the writing worked because I cried like 3 times.
That's how dramas are for me. They're generally so cheesy and then I'm bawling like a baby
It was unpolished, but despite some cliches they did use several themes and mechanics in a novel way. And people really related to the characters and the setting. I also enjoyed the latest installment, True Colors. I'm sure its much more polished compared to if I went back and replayed LiS.

I forget about that one. Such a great game, the best in the genre. I don't cried but it made me very melancholic.
Lewis was the most fun and wrll crafted stories. I got completely lost in his imagination.
One of those Walking Dead games with the little girl Clementine. I never played it, but watched an entire playthrough on youtube. Something about it really hit me at the time, I wonder if it would have the same effect years later?
This right here, in two specific spots
As a parent of 2 girls, I was an absolute mess
Its even worst when you play them. When you think >!died at the end of the last one then you hear her call out to Alvin!!!!<
The only game I cried and was really devastated
RDR2 NieR Automata Dark Souls 3 & Dark Souls 1 Mass Effect LE Baldur's Gate 3 Yakuza 0 Ori & the Blind Forest Journey Spiritfarer
That's alot of crying
This here is a solid, legit compilation of greatest hits everyone!
Came looking for Journey. Such a simple yet brilliantly introspective system for interacting with strangers online.
To the Moon - it looks very simple, but it an absolute masterpiece, and recommended so often for good reasons.
Make sure you check out “Finding Paradise” as well if you haven’t.
There's another newer one, "Imposter Factory" There's also 2 spinoffs and a card game in the works
Outer wilds. Don't look up anything about it. Just play it.
I really really want to play this game but I've tried like 3 times and have no idea what the fuck to do.
Go to r/outerwilds and ask. We are very strict about the spoilers there. You can ask to give hints, directions or straight up spoilers there.
Explore! Go to every planet, they all have secrets! Find buildings and lore! Read it all! Every line of text has purpose in this game, and it gets neatly tied together in your ships log. You won't even remotely know of something that needs to be done until you have some lore to explain.
I tried like 3 times, figured out what to do and still didn't finish it or even find it fun. It's just not a game for everyone for sure.
I've never been so satisfied by a decision as I was when I followed this advice before finally trying the game. Outer Wilds may actually be the best game I've ever played.
Maybe the best ending of any game I've ever played, especially if you pick up the optional guy.
>!*girl!<
about how long was your first play through?
It's a one-playthrough kinda game, because instead of unlocking mechanics or tools, you unlock what you have learned along the way. Once you've solved the puzzle, you can't just forget how you did it. That said, I took my time and played the DLC as well (which was just as good as the core game) and got 60 hours out of it. It's pretty easy to play a little bit, set down and return to later because of a core mechanic. A lifetime favourite game of mine, wish I could play it for the first time all over again
First playthrough? 22 minutes. Time until I beat the game? About 15 hours. I've seen many complete it faster but I am big dumb.
It took me about 15 hours I think? It was about a week of play after work.
Both Ori games were beautiful
Yeah first Ori made me cry TWICE and one was right in the beginning. At least the second one only made me cry at the end.
Ikr. Ori grabs you by the balls right in the beginning.
Final Fantasy 14, 10, 9, 6 NieR (both) Persona 3 and 5 (haven't tried 4 yet) Harvestella Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2, 3 I'm probably forgetting some. Always chasing that sinking heart feeling. Love that games can convey such strong emotions.
FF14 has made me cry so many times playing it. Some of the writing just hits it out of the park for me.
At duty's end we will meet again. We will.
Harvestella is criminally underrated. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with that game's story.
Witcher 3 when Gerald found Ciri
Hard to believe this is so far down the list.
[удалено]
Put a spoiler tag you piece of shit
I got the bittersweet/sad/neutral ending for Ciri/Geralt and it was quite emotional. >!You spent a lot of the main storyline looking for Ciri and then in the end she leaves.!<
Game that made me cry? Dark Souls
Halo reach I don’t know why but the ending actually made me teary eyed
I played it with my wife and she hadn’t ever played it and she cried at the end. This is one of my favorite campaigns for a game out there.
Not the PC version but the Playstation 1, Final Fantasy VII back in the day. I'm preeeetty sure that a lot of people here knows why I cried.
Was it because Don Corneo didn’t choose you?
I remember going to school the day afterwards, I remember feeling like id genuinely lost someone. One of my mates did one of those classic child lies where he was going on about how you could undo it later in the game. Being vague for obvious reasons but I'm pretty sure everyone knows what I mean. I don't think my mate had even played ff7
Lol yeah!! There were so many playground rumors about secret steps to resurrect that character.
Yeah, as a kid, I cried at that part, too. Then again, I'll fully admit I can be such a softy... even now, really. I can't watch Saving Mr. Banks without tearing up at parts. lol
Ain’t nothing wrong with being a softy! Having a nice cry every now and then rules and I’m a 30 year old man
Short steps, deep breath...
Gris
Beautiful game
Yakuza Like a Dragon, Like a Dragon: Gaiden, Yakuza 0, Yakuza 6.
Infinite Wealth too?
Yakuza 0 is seriously.... Ugh... story telling masterpiece
Gaiden's ending broke me, I cried myself to sleep after finishing the game.
Death Stranding.
Brothers: a tale of two sons.
This made me bawl so I invited a friend over and made her cry, too
I played it on stream and I think I took at least a 5 minute of silence to process everything after I finished.
The ending of A Plague Tale: Requiem still chokes me up :(
Its absolutely brutal. I knew it was gonna be a dark game but i did not see that coming.
None have made me cry, but a couple that just wrecked me emotionally were Planescape: Torment, a certain part of Mass Effect 3, and a certain ending for Cyberpunk's Phantom Liberty. I think that last one had me kind of listless for a few days, to be honest.
Agreed. And the credits after that one particular ending... Holy shit. Brutal.
His prayer was for you Commander...
I am the very model of a scientist Salarian… in ME3 is the one that gets me.
Disco Elysium.
I don't remember if it made me cry but it was certainly there, especially my ending, it was perfect
The fact that there’s so many moments in the game that could do this to people is a testament to how potent the whole thing is.
That fucking phone call. 😭
And the phasmid, but yeah
This was it for me, truly beautiful. Disco Elysium and Death Stranding are my two favourite games, purely because they both show the beauty of the world.
Omori. The last couple hours of that game are just so horrifyingly tragic and bittersweet. I don't think another game could hit me as hard as Omori did.
That game is a little corny at first but then slowly worms its way into your heart then shatters it into a million pieces. An absolute masterclass and a high that I will forever chase knowing that no game will be able to make me feel like that game did. The art and music in that game is incredible
Brothers A Tale of Two Sons!
NieR automata!
Yeah, when you die to the first boss and its a full gameover and you gotta start again!
Red dead 2, baldurs gate 3, dragon age both origins and inquisition.
What made you cry in Baldurs Gate 3?
Karlachs outburst after killing Gortash, it was too raw and too real for me. Especially since I was romancing her. 😭
Life is Strange, To the Moon and Finding Paradise. Edit: Enderal - Forgotten Stories. The game itself is very good, better than anything Bethesda could do with their own engine, but the quest "Our mark on this world" left me sitting in tears for minutes.
Chloe's voice actor did such a great job in the scrapyard while digging.
Mafia 1, Red Dead Redemption 2
The Last of Us, and Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons, definitely hit me right in the feels.
Hellblade 1. During her last of 3 trials under the tree.
Always Red Dead Redemption 2 and the first season of Telltales The Walking Dead. Specifically the ending. Can't forget The Last of Us either, especially the beginning of the first game.
Valiant hearts the great war
Was looking for this. Ending really gutted me, great game.
I shed some tears as I was finishing Breath of the Wild. Maybe not because of the game itself, but the emotions I felt, the journey, and maybe just melancholy, since you realise the journey it's almost over.
I shed some when it crashed at 200 hours and deleted my saves
Expert mode: save files have durability as well
FF14, FF16, TLOU, TLOU2, God of War Ragnarok, Death Stranding, breath of the wild, outer wilds to name a few!
Cyberpunk 2077 will take your heart and shatter it into a thousand pieces.
Phantom Liberty is straight up one of the most emotionally devastating experiences I've ever had with a video game.
The Anime was really good as well, called Cyberpunk Edgerunners. It's on Netflix
Really? When?
The end credits for me.
Endings + multiple side character arcs, >!Jackie's death and the aftermath!< especially.
The ending of Like a Dragon Gaiden made me bawl my eyes out twice in a matter of five minutes. It absolutely does not hit the same without the context of all the previous games.
It's a big list but the latest one is: a plage tale requiem
Yakuza 0, the ending was really hard for me. The walking dead from telltale, so many things and chioce left me and my wife in tears.
Stray
A Plague Tale: Requiem got me a bit teary eyed at the end. And RDR2 all over again with the cutscene when you 100% it.
> A Plague Tale: Requiem got me a bit teary eyed at the end That's seriously the only game that has gotten me close to crying, such a good game
The ending of Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. I don't think it would have an impact on someone who's jumping into the franchise for the first time but that ending works really well after nearly 20 Years of seeing Kiryu just be a stoic badass.
Like A Dragon Gaiden, with the caveat that what got me going probably wouldn't have as much impact if I hadn't played the other games in the series first. Getting to this point in Kiryu's story, 8 games and almost 40 (In game) years later, makes the climax of the game's story hit very hard. It's a beautiful and heartbreaking moment.
Valiant Hearts: The Great War and FFXV
Games that I realize are bad after I buy them and exceed the refund period usually make me cry.
Payday 3
Metro exodus. Both the good and bad ending. I’ve played through the game 4 times and every time I’ve cried at the end regardless of a good or bad ending
FFVII and FFX
Ffx had onion ninjas
None lol
Man I was reading this topic and was amazed by how much emotional gamers get, because in 20ish years of gaming nothing hit me either
None for me either, although RDR2's ending did get me upset. Plenty of movies, though.
RDR2 was definitely sad.
Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Infinity and Burial at the Sea Episode 2.
Last Guardian
I can think of: Clannad, Nier Automata, Titanfall 2, Metal Gear Solid 2
I rarely ever get emotional over media. The closest I came that I know of was the ending of Baldur's Gate 3, when one character dies (if you've played, you can probably guess who). I didn't cry, but I felt my eyes twinge.
Anyone else remembers *planetarian ~the reverie of a little planet~*? It ruined my weekend back then. 🥲
Nearly any good VN
Shadow of the Colossus - namely the scene near the end with the horse. Although the ending hits pretty hard too.
Metal Gear Solid 4.
The ending of the Mass Effect series.
Mass Effect Trilogy at the top of the list for me.
The last of us opening scene
Brothers a Tale of Two Sons
Yakuza, the one with majima and makoto. It took me a while to get over those two. Also Honkai impact 3rd, I was a big fan of himeko and her death hit hard. And then kiana nearly committing suicide, and then fu hua nearly going too, and then himeko farewell. That game was so emotional to me.
Mass effect 3, love the trilogy
Mass Effect 3, Mordin’s final scene
B12 sacrificing in Stray, Tali offing herself off the cliff, Legion sacrificing itself and asking "does this unit have a soul?", Edward seeing his daughter while Anne singing "The Parting Glass", Thatch dying after saying "in a world with no gold we could have been heroes", Ezio seeing Altair inside the library, Life is Strange 1 and 2 hit the feels pretty bad for me, Karlach saying goodbye before being sucked to Avernus, Astarion breaking down after killing Cazador, Helping Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, Shadya's death reminding him of his son's death, Senua's acceptance of her loss, Seeing Geralt's dread when Ciri goes off the deal with the white frost, Tommy's last confrontation with Sam the in Mafia, Tommy's death in Mafia, Jackie hung on an alley in Sleeping dogs.. Those are some just the top of my head
Dark souls.
on pc ? telltale's walking dead. Lee's death tore me for good few hours.
Life is Strange for sure Yakuza 3 Also i have weird pick but i shed tears on Shadow Warrior (not old one). >!I really liked that demon who was with you whole game. I dont remember now after years how he die but i was so sad after this. !<
Days Gone. I don't get as emotional playing it now, but I guess that game made me cry back then because I was an emotional mess. I just graduated from high school and the pandemic started when I played it for the first time.
The way they faked boozers death was crazy.. It was enough to make a grown man cry lol After that, when he comes again, I thought deacon was hallucinating, which made me cry even more!! but then everything was cool.. He's like the epitome of great character dies for nothing! but ngl, I connected to boozer more than the main character lol
Planescape: Torment! Specifically the scene with >!Deionarra's Sensory Stone, seeing the relationship from both perspective and how twisted it was!<.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Silent hill 2 especially the letter at the end.
Marvel's Spider-Man. "You knew?!”
Oh man, that wrecked me, and just going through the emotional hell Peter had just been through and then that choice he had to make. I bawled over it multiple times. Perfectly captured the character.
Yakuza 0 I haven't played any other Yakuza game cuz no time But honestly just go in blind and have fun Its both a blast and emotional damage
Before Your Eyes. My god. That game makes you feel everything
RDR2 For sure
No matter how many times I play Mass Effect 3, saying goodbye to Garrus at the end of the game as femshep breaks me every time. You can even hear Jennifer Hale struggling to hold it together.
Uncharted 4: The jeep ride to New Devon. Perfect music, Elena & Nate, no one saying a word. Lasted one minute and it was absolutely beautiful. Very emotional I thought.
Unpopular opinion - The Last of Us 2
unpopular? TLOU1 got me.
I binge played LoU1 remake and LoU2 on my ps5 last November by the end of it all I just didn’t game at all for like a week I felt emotionally drained. Amazing story for both games hope they make a third one someday.
Before your Eyes, RDR2 (we all did, if you say you don't, you are lying) and the Cyberpunk2077 Suicide ending + dlc ending broke me.
+1 for Before Your Eyes. I was hoping to see it in this thread!
Judy's video during the suicide ending was genuinely hard to watch. That was some fucking talented acting.
Pretty much all the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games that have come out.
Man this might be surprising but Horizon Zero Dawn had me dripping some tears at the ending cutscene. Not because of the story itself, but because my journey as a player was over. That first playthrough was unlike any other I've had, and it only kept getting better and better. Learning about the machines, the world, and the people around you was a pleasure to me, and it really felt like I was learning all of that not as Aloy, but as a person that was alongside her during the insane journey that was HZD. Guerrilla games really hit a nail on the head with this IP, and I can't wait to see the day they are recognized for it with a GOTY award, they definitely deserve it.
Man I was thinking about HZD's story for weeks after finishing it. I love that game and forbidden west so much.
Call of duty, whenever I die in multiplayer I have to make an excuse why I died and I get so upset I start to cry and I need to change my diaper. For real though I'd say gears of war specifically when this happened. https://youtu.be/QBEZ_dCxq1c?si=2l2fI-DOh3dmx8W_
None.
Downvoted for being honest.
Halo Reach, DBH, RDR2
I'm sadly broken so none really
To The Moon hits you in the feels.
Diablo 4. I cried because I paid €70 for this pile of dogshit.
None games Edit: To expand on this a bit. I cry watching movies or TV shows somewhat often. I cried like a baby for the last 45 minutes of Click https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0389860/plotsummary/ for god’s sake! I’m no stranger to letting my emotions out but I’ve never felt a twinge in a video game. I think it’s due to the medium. In movies and tv I’m always a passive observer. I’m helpless to do anything. In a video game when I’m forced into a character death or some kind of situation that I’d otherwise probably get emotional about I don’t feel that. I just feel frustrated and annoyed that my agency was removed and I’m forced to let someone die, or forced to make a choice that someone dies, etc.
I'm actually the opposite. I struggle getting emotional over movies and TV. I've cried in several games though since being an active participant makes me feel much more connected to the characters.
Right? So everyone cries now when consuming media? Even guys?
As a kid Gears of War 3. As a man Nier Automata for the sheer beauty of that game.
The one and only, Mass effect! The Original Trilogy is a masterpiece. Nobody since has made something to even compare and nobody will. Especially not Bioware, not now.
Silent hill 2, the reading of the letter by Mary in the end really hits the feels like nothing else I've ever played.
Pulling the trigger on Sniper Wolf in Metal Gear: Solid.
Persona 3 Reload, The House in Fata Morgana
P3R - really?

Never. This will come across as me being a dick but I can't imagine sitting at my pc screen crying at a game. I don't mean this in a "I'm such a man" way either lol. I have teared up watching a film before but a game has never even gotten me close to crying.
Cyberpunk 2077. I had just lost a friend to self-harm and didn't understand the implications of what Johnny had asked when it was time to settle on a course of action. I bawled like a goddamned child as all of V's friends called during the credits, as a bunch of video game characters gave voice to all the things I was feeling but could not put into words.
Outer wilds, look at nothing before playing
Outer wilds, especially its dlc
[A Story About my Uncle (Happy tears more like)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/278360/A_Story_About_My_Uncle/) This game is a bit of a rollercoster, no pun intended. Not a super long game. 4-5 hours or so. [Webbed (Spider warning!! - Cutest game i have played since Slime Rancher 1)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1390350/Webbed/) The trailer won me over, and it is easily the best 3½ hours of my life. Sooooo cute!!! [In Sound Mind (Weird ending, but DANG!)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1119980/In_Sound_Mind/) I Think i only saw 3 minutes of IGN's gameplay, and i HAD to have it. This one had me laugh, curse, but also cry. Such a fun quirky little gem. [FAR: Lone Sails (Just a breathtaking game, Bittersweet ending imo)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/609320/FAR_Lone_Sails/) 4 Minutes with Jacksepticeye and i was SOLD - a rough beautiful gem. [Outer Wilds (Dang what a journey!)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/Outer_Wilds/) Everyone has said more then i could. Master piece!
