Journey's ending hit me pretty hard: the score's composer, Austin Wintory, did such a great job channeling emotions into the game narrative

TF2, when I get repeatedly owned by the same enemy. Especially if they're a soldier with love heart cosmetics.

The Last Of Us Part II.

Revenge. Revenge never changes.

What's done is done and it can never be undone.

It is such a tear jerker. So good

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Darkness/Time/Sky

Brother's got me ugly crying

RDR2, when Arthur stopped to thank his (dying) horse (near the final mission). I got a lil choked up.

Many times in many games.

Probably the most in Mass Effect series, so many emotional moments. ME2: Overlord's end hits the hardest.

Skyward Sword… Zelda’s story was so moving.

Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC. One last fun ride with a bunch of friends before the final reckoning.

For added gut punch: romance Thane.

Gris. For real, go play it if you havent. Worth the story.

Yes, many times, ff7 was the first

If a character dies and I liked them enough to feel sad then I usually just quit the game. Theres no point to play beyond that. Like cyberpunk 2077 I really liked Jackie and when he died I just quit half an hour later. I've picked up the game a few times since but its really not the same without my homie.

Arthur's journey teared me up a bit in RDR2.

Edit: I JUST REMEMBERED JACKIE MA FROM SLEEPING DOGS

Malenia got me damn close to.

How comes no one mentioned plague tale (both games) ? I don't know how good the English voice acting is, but in French it was really poignant.

Yeah ff10 when I was like 13 lol

Destiny when Cayde 6 died. There was a goodbye message Cayde left for his son saying something like "I'm coming home". Well it was right around when my father passed and I was a fucking wreck.

As someone who has had the chance to play through Xenoblade Chronicles 1 through 3, several times in 3 specifically I was very emotional.

3 is a game that's emotional on its own, and throughout its story there are several times where it hits like a truck.

But when you know about all three games, some things just hit a little harder, especially during that DLC.

There's definitely a reason I have Mio and Noah Amiibo on my desk right now.

Honestly, XC3 is probably the best RPG of that generation (of course that's on opinion. But it's a correct one 😄)

Yep. I play FFXIV and I'm on estrogen. I cry basically every major patch cycle.

FF7. Loved Aerith's character, lots of time learning the background, near endless fights to save her, then cutscene. 45 hours went to 70 pretty fast after that. I wanted revenge on that fucker, and I had Holy.

I'm late but here's an oddball.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time

If you've never played the mystery dungeon games, you never really see your character actually speak to anyone. You have internal thoughts you can read but when you talk to others you just kinda wiggle around.

After you beat the final boss, you finally see your character speak with your partner and god damn it hit hard when I was a lad.

Two that I can remember.

• To The Moon
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Excellent storytelling transcends the medium, but it’s a shame that there are so few games that have managed to tug at my heartstrings.

Edit: I am reading the comments and making a list. Sometimes a good cry is the catharsis an aching soul needs.

RDR2 almost did that to me at the end

I don't get too emotional at games, but I do at music.... and even though I was laughing my ass off with joy at Metal Gear Solid 2, I cried at the ending because I just enjoyed it so much and the music hit me in the feels.

Other than that... not really. I had the most emotional investment in a game with the Mass Effect series, but by the end of 3, I was kinda checked-out when everyone was getting offed. I was already over it.

Honkai: Star Rail has made me ugly cry twice in the last two story patches. I didn't expect it, but the story of the Flamechase has been super emotional for me. "You shall walk with greed and die over petty change".

I dont know why, but i cried in some wierd situations. Like at the endboss fight of ori 2 and the endboss of the pacifist ending of undertale. And not after the fight, during! I think it's some kind of being overstimulated and way to much things are happening, but in a nice way with the exact amount of difficulty.

Nier and Signalis are the first two that come to mind

Honestly also Minecraft but that was mostly because I was playing during a bad time and the ost kicked in

As annoying as she was, Fi from Skyward Sword almost made me cry at the end of the game. Well, a couple of tears.

A couple of times, yes. I think the one I cried the most was the opera scene in Final Fantasy VI, it was just one of the most magnificent scenes in gaming.

I don't think I've ever had a "sad emotion" at all playing a game... I rarely have any emotion besides happy or angry playing games lol.

Devil May Cry back in 2001, and hellblade in 2017. There weee probably others that I had a response to, but those both had tears falling.
