Have you ever cried during a game? Like during a sad or happy part?

I cried a little at the beginning of ME2. For a few reasons, one it was a brutal start, two I had just finished ME1 and felt the character(s) were part of me, three I just build my new rig and it was beautiful.

PST was a little tough on the emotions as well. What makes the nature of a man?

In ME2 when Shepard gets the Normandy back. Girlfriends out, a wee bit drunk and I'm fistpumping Jersey Shore-style and bawling like a girl at the same time. Yeah, I'm 28 btw.

Planescape Torment really brought a tear to my eye and I felt quite engaged. Same with Baldur's Gate 2, but the ending of P:T and a few moments (with Deionarra)... man, I get a bit of a thick throat just thinking about it.

I cried the day before the NGE was implemented on Star Wars Galaxies....way to screw a communtiy and a game. I still hear a loud "FFFFUUUUUUU!!!!!!" in my head every time I read the "John smedley" word ...

Tali's loyalty mission in ME2 had some pretty intense moments (like the monitor which plays the woman recording for her kids). I didn't cry, per se, but it did tug on the ol' heartstrings.

Aeris's death in FFVII got a few tears. :'(
I didn't cry, but killing the colossi in Shadow of the Colossus was really depressing.

I just beat the singleplayer campaign of COD4 (1), and the ending was amazing. all you've been through, all the buddies that died...and the news plays it off as a training exercise by the Russian government. a major kick in the balls

What about Halo 3 made you tear up?

Personally, the end of HL2:E2 got me a bit choked up, but really not much else. I was PISSED when Aeris died, but I didn't get overly sad.

My worst worst time was on Lost Odyssey, on the 360, it was so good, I very nearly balled my eyes out at the first thousand year dream, the one about the dying girl, in fact alot of them got me really bad, especially the one with the old woman who thinks she's young, I would have cried my eyes out if I was alone

No tears but, in Starcraft when Kerrigan turns Zerg.

Maya's death in Persona 2: Innocent Sin was really sad, as was the realisation of what had happened in Eternal Punishment. There were some very tear-jerking moments in both games but I reckon the best scenes happened near the end of both games.

When I realized I could have waited for Shadow.

ebayblows · 1 year

I haven't, but I've played games that have left feelings with me for days after. Kind of like after watching a great movie or reading a great book. There's been few books or movies that have made me cry, and I think it's doubtful I'll ever find a game that will.

[deleted] · 1 year

Not cried, but I've felt pretty sad in two occasions:

1 - Deus Ex: Invisible War - When I found Leo converted into an Omar and with second thoughts about finishing the process, I didn't care much about him before that, but at that moment I had a huge sense of pity for him and gave him 1k credits or whatever it was that he asked me for;

2 - Grand Theft Auto IV - I tried the deal ending (my original choice was revenge), and when after killing Dimitri Niko said "Roman has never hurt anyone" it was also quite a sad moment complete with the stormy weather (not sure whether that was scripted or random) at night.

Haven't really cried since I was but a wee child. But there are games that have made me a little sad/happy.

Portal... When Still Alive finished playing, I realized I had found the best game I would play in years, and that sadly, the experience was now over.

End of Max Payne 2. The final screen with Max saying, "I had a dream of my wife. She was dead, but it was alright." Just a perfect way to end the game.

Sobbed like a bitch at the end of Ico, when you're running along the beach. I couldn't see the screen through the tears.

UncleJJ · 1 year

Oh yeah I almost forgot, when you are playing Metroid for the super Nes and when you are about to die the baby Metroid that you saved in the gameboy game comes to your rescue, it shields you from damage while it heals you and it dies defending you, the fact that in the beggining it is mentioned that it was like a confused child got me

Sacharified · 1 year

SotC when Agro dies. Also in Demon's Souls when you have to kill Garl and then Astrea kills herself. Didn't make me cry, but I felt really sad.

Warlyik · 1 year

The end of FF13. The combination of the music, the fact that one of your characters was visibly tortured for about 3 minutes just before that, was really both a sad/happy ending pulling on multiple emotional strings.

The end of Lunar: Silver Star Story. Much the same reason.

Not afraid to admit it, either. It's part of what I feel makes a game good (at least RPGs) - its ability to get you to empathize with the characters in it, to feel them as if they were real.

oobey · 1 year

Nope. I'm not trying to talk down or sound derogatory but absolutely not. It's just a game. The only emotional reaction games can ever inspire in me is fear, or possibly intense anger, but I've never been pulled into a story enough to care about the characters and events to the point where I'd feel genuinely happy or sad for them, especially not to the point of shedding tears.

And, yeah, I've played all the classics. Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, FF7, whatever. They're just games.

Edit: Please don't downvote me if you disagree, I'm stating my opinion calmly and rationally and without passing judgment on others, and I certainly think I'm contributing to this discussion. The OP was not posted as a "Yes or Yes" question.

The end of Silent Hill Shattered Memories (assuming you didn't make your character a womanazing alcoholic) makes me tear up :'(

But then again I cry during every single movie I see.

R0CKET_B0MB · 1 year

The Halo series was pretty much FUCK YEAH moments all the way through, but when I realized that Master Chief's story was over, I couldn't help but get a bit depressed. I've been following his adventure ever since I was but a wee lass and all of a sudden he's gone. Oh man, Reach is gonna have the biggest downer ending ever.

Sanitarium: Where you talk to your sick sister. Other than that I really didn't cry in any other video game.

The closest I ever came was playing Ocarina of Time. I had somehow gotten into my head that Darunia dies fighting Volvagia. I was really happy to see he was alright, because I really liked that guy.

Final Fantasy V when Galuf sacrifices himself to safe the rest of the party. Awesome manly tears.

Do visual novels count? If so, definitely Fate/Stay Night. That game was a (roughly) 60-hour roller coaster of emotions for me. Completely unforgettable.

Games can make me depressed, but it never leads to tears.

Valkyria Chronicles - When Isara and Selvaria died. Hell, I grew really attached to a lot of the characters in that game. I know I'd cry manly tears if Jann ever died, though.

Ari_Rahikkala · 1 year

Star Control 2, the beginning of the Yehat rebellion. Never mind that it's a speech by a pteranodon with a ridiculous Scottish accent - it's the tipping point of a conflict between the loyalties and principles of an alien species that's very serious about both its loyalties and its principles. I mean the "this is what defines us" sort of serious, and with those two things being in direct conflict with each other. You can bring them something that finally tips the balance... and plunges them into a bloody civil war. I still get shivers from that scene, and I'm pretty sure that the first time I heard it, I cried.

Kativla · 1 year

I got choked up at the end of BG2, when your whole party gets really gung-ho about finishing off the big bad even though most of them had gone through some pretty horrible shit simply for associating with me (I had kept Minsc, Jaheira and Imoen). They really had no reason to be that loyal to me, yet there they were.

Shadow Hearts Covenant: The final scene where the piano music starts up and everyone begins to float away. That damn piano music is like a sucker-punch to the heart.

I'm such a girl when it comes to stuff like this. I cried at the end of Metroid, parts of Chrono Trigger, Mass Effect, and Braid. Probably a bunch more I can't think of.

bleedingoutlaw28 · 1 year

playing ME2...I wasn't sad until my brother told me that you're not supposed to wait before going into the omega 4 relay. I felt like I was captain of that ship and my decision had cost a lot of lives...

No tears though, just mist...

How has no one said Crisis Core's ending yet? Didn't get me crying but I thought it was far more powerful than Aeris's death.

UncleJJ · 1 year

FF7, when Aeris died, I got some dust on my eyes. Also the ending on Chrono Trigger on the Snes and when I saw the remade intro for the PS with the music, it reminded me of the game, just check the video until the first 35 seconds and it makes you feel along with the story if you played it how it was both a quest and a story about friendship http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgk5cUGsz-U

End of MGS3.

For some reason when you finished the fight with boss and killed her to become big boss.

For some reason that was really emotional for me. Probably because she was your sort of adopted mother.
