Games that made you cry

[XXDaisukeXX]

What were the games that made you cry, because of their story? And no, I am not talking about frustration, lol.

Shadow of the Colossus, the killings, efforts and sacrifices...all of that just for a girl

The saddest part though, when the horse died (that hurts, it really does)

 

[Waffles]

The Last Of Us got the waterworks going for me. It's just endless sadness.

 

[Cu-Neo]

Me? Gongaga

I cried a whole tsunami at the end of the story. Easily Crisis Core is one of the best prequels ever made

Hell yeah, Sarah's already struggled breathing and she goes silent with the switch in background music. Geez, how can Naughty Dog make me have feels.

They don't call it Lisa The Painful for being a Cookie Simulator, it's DLC, ironically Joyful... GAWDDAMIT!

 

[Tronky.it]

I've never cried over a video game, now that I think about it. However, there are some that have moved me quite a bit.

Starting from Metal Gear Solid V - The Phantom Pain (the scene of the soldiers humming in the Mother Base)... then arriving at Final Fantasy IX (a beautiful story for children and adults, with a cute ending) and finally New Super Mario Bros WII. It always reminds me of when I used to play early in the morning, before going to school, with my brothers to finish it... good times.

Not the game itself, but the song from the game made me abit teary eyed when I was a kid. Forevermore from The Bouncer on the PS2.

Almost two years ago, my orange cat passed away. He was also probably my best friend, human or not. I decided to play and finish the game Stray in his honor since the protagonist is also an orange cat.

When I got to the very end, and the little robot moves on and says, "Goodbye, you're the best friend I've ever had." I balled my eyes out. The last screen of the orange boy looking back at the camera was like it's own, "Goodbye my friend, I love you forever."

 

[DunkeyKong]

I'm so sorry for you, he's already honoured to have such an owner

MOTHER 3 for GBA, it's the only GBA game I ever managed to beat in Japanese - it doesn't have kanji so reading those tiny kana with GBA micro was heck, but I made it in the end. This was before fan-translation was made, mind you. It was - gasp - 19 years ago, in retrospect how on earth I managed to beat it and even understand the story... go figure.

This game has a lot of emotional moments that makes you tear up, and the beautiful music doesn't help.
Zack just needed this game to surpass Cloud in my favorites MC list of all time.

 

[Azura]

Dark Souls

 

[Drift 4 Drifters]

The last moments of Journey made me cry back to back from deep sadness and then happiness

My eyes was so drenched of tears, that i had to beat a second time to see it better

 

[DanCalibur]

Lost Odyssey, when you meet Lirum

 

[RustySK]

The very first game to ever make me cry was FF VII. Not the Aerith scene though - the ending of the first disc wrecked me, I really liked Jessie, Biggs and Wedge.
Lost Odyssey's Thousand Years of Dreams. Good lord.
The opening of The Last of Us consistently makes me bawl my eyes out, same for several bits of Last of Us 2, though with that game it's generally mixed with nausea.
FF XV's ending (especially the photo montage) fucked me up as well.
Nier Gestalt, several times - Emil's story, Kainé's backstory with her grandmother, every single Devola/Popola song.

... damn that list actually turned out way longer than I expected!

I was under the assumption that I rarely react emotionally to concrete stories these days and rather cry at the weirdest, usually abstract concepts. Or songs.
The concept of parenthood, the idea that animals feel affection for one another, that sort of thing - stuff that catches me off-guard when it pops up, you know?

Seems like I might be wrong about that.

Not a big fan of kingdom hearts anymore, but the beginning of KH2 always gets me upon leaving twilight town

When I was a kid, it was Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening. I knew that Link was stuck in a dream world, but seeing all of those characters I got to know over the course of the game just fade from existence in the ending struck a cord with my younger self.

Also wanted to bring up Ys 8 - Lacrimosa of Dana. Gotta say, what happened to Dana and her people is among some of the coldest shit I've seen happen in a video game.

Starting from Metal Gear Solid V - The Phantom Pain *removed*... then arriving at Final Fantasy IX (a beautiful story for children and adults, with a cute ending) and finally New Super Mario Bros WII. It always reminds me of when I used to play early in the morning, before going to school, with my brothers to finish it... good times.

damn bro mission 43 is one hell of a mission it made me sad for weeks even thinking about it makes me sad

 

[Ella Freya]

fatal frame 3 I cried

 

[BlissfulBandit]

I'm a big ol' softie, so it doesn't take much to get my tears flowing, but Digital Devil Saga 2 wrecked me hard.
Where'd your pretty face go? C'mon, smile...

Such an unexpected answer, wonderful


Silent hill 3, those who know know

Spoiler: play the game first

"Dad why did you have to die? You told me you were the strongest man in the world. Liar.."

That scene man, while this song is playing... Even the title of the song is sad, when you know what happened.

 

[Zemus]

As someone who cries A LOT, and plays A LOT of games, including most of those listed here...none yet.

Harry Mason was a special man, 3 REALLY expanded on his characater and Im glad. You learn so much about him indirectly during the course of the game.
The kid he raised and fought for was no more. Instead he was to accept this new thing was her all along, can you imagine having to comprehend that?
I love how he admits to having struggled with this, that at one point he even contemplated killing her in her sleep. But then even now that he was aging he decided he was gonna accept this new child as her own and did everything again and without his wife. He protected her too by killing that cultist, concealed her identity moved house did everything to give her a happy life.

And after literally going through hell and back and killing god for her he dies ambushed by a monster

But in the end he still saved her and gave her a life by giving her that pendant, now that shes no longer the moder of got the order will never bother her again
