Did video game ever make you cry?
No, i'm a mature adult.
Only once.
Crisis Core thread
Cid dying in FF6 was pretty hard to take as a kid, didn't realise he was savable at that point obviously.
I easily tear up at stuff but not video games for some reason. Writing is usually just not good enough. Undertale made made it rain lightly in my room, I guess.
>>344006370
this and Nier, kinda

>>344006261
Bloodborne made me cry because of how fucking good it was.
No
Emotional engagement of games is low for me. I've never cried at a videogame.
A movie, tv show, or book can make me cry. Not videogames though.
>>344006580
>A book can make someone cry
I'd love to hear the reasoning and logic behind this.
>>344006580
confirmed for not playing crisis core
>>344006681
Actually to tell you the truth I've never gotten too emotional over a book. Certainly movies and TV shows though.
Yeah

>>344006261
I never literally cried but I had tears forming in my eyes several times while having a gripping sensation in my stomach. This actually happens way too often because I get super infested in fiction, and I also sometimes feel emotional when watching something well crafted (this one is really hard to describe but it mostly happens with animated movies or cutscenes)
>>344006681
Not him but if I get attached to a character and he dies, I cant stop myself. I fucking hate it but some are more emotional than others.
>>344006261
There's already a thread about this going.
>>344006261
I know i have cried over a video game at least once... i just cant remember
>>344006940
>Crying at words on a page
I'm sorry, but that is fucking stupid. I could understand it if it was a personal letter, such as something from a loved one, addressed to you either directly or indirectly, but a book/novel/whateverthefuck? No, fuck off. Nonsense.
Trails in the Sky did, but that was because it was over
There was this one time years ago, when I played Persona 4 andsaw Nanako die. I hardly ever cry, but that moment really made my eyes teary as fuck.
>>344006681
Read good books and you'll know
One of the near-ending monologues in Talos Principle made me tear up desu.
>>344007480
Recommend me a good book...
Never really cried, though not because a game can't leave an emotional imprint on me: I just rarely ever cry period, I'm kinda stunned when it comes to expressing emotions.
Three games I really remember that got to me were:
>Silent Hill 2
>Pathologic
>Bastion
I think Homeworld, The Void, The Witcher, Cryostasis, The Longest Journey and many others deserve a fair mention...

>>344006261
Yes, but I don't think it was supposed to.

>I'd love to hear the reasoning and logic behind this.
The ability to treat fictional and symbolically represented stories in an as-if-real mode is absolutely key human ability hugely contributing to our social intelligence and capability, as well as experience and knowledge transfer and diffusion. If a story is sufficiently believable and relevant to us, forming emotional responses akin to those we can build in real world allows us to internalize content and messages present in the work more efficiently and deeply. It's perfectly reasonable and logical to form emotional attachments and responses to fiction (provided the fiction is relevant and believable enough) regardless of the actual format of the medium.
People completely incapable of that are people mentally or emotionally stunned. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it sure as fuck isn't a good thing.
>>344008083
What? Does this game have some sort of story I don't know about? What made you cry?
>>344007762
A Japanese ship which was sank in WW2?
>>344008198
Cute things make me extremely sad.
Once and only once. Carly literally did nothing wrong.
>>344006261
Anyone that says they didn't cry at the endings to the first 2 pokemon mystery dungeon games is a liar
>>344006829
Dang man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4NpBtAu79g
only once
when i was a little faggot teenager i cried at halo 3's ending because i thought there was no more halo
little did i realize, once 343 was made, i didn't want any more halo.
>>344008331
I didn't. I read about how emotional it was all over the internet and when I actually got to play it I felt nothing.
(I really didn't like the game, either. Had to force myself to play until the end.)
Mass Effect 3 got my eyes all watery with the "leaving Earth" scene. I didn't expect to see a child die in a BioWare game, and the music really nailed the whole atmosphere.
Oddly, this did not happen when Mordin's, Thane's and Anderson's deaths.
Also, i think i almost cried after finiscing Flower. The Fantasia vibes where too much.

Yes knowing this would be the last good Halo game.
>people crying at fun games with mediocre writing like Undertake
Move aside, small fries.
Mother 3
>>344006261
Yes
Spoilers for the conquest end of neptunia 2When ram and rom( two little girls) break down and cry saying "I dont want to die" after they put on a brave face. YOUR killing them to save the world.
The conquest ending made me cry a few times, But I RAGED when the weapon I got for doing everything was the same model of the one I had BUT WORSE GOD DAMN STATS. I DID THAT SHIT FOR NOTHING. The one time I reget dlc being free.
Didn't cry about the game though, I did because it made me realize even if I had time super powers to fix my fucked up life it would probably end up worse.
Anyways who needs a happy life when you have dank memes and crippling depression...
I cried when June (Akane) is Zero and you are Zero and you also are Zero
This shit did and I'm a grown ass man
>>344009515
Didn't cry at this game, but I'm fucking lie if I said I didn't have fun with it.
Only time I can remember having tears of joy.
>>344009891
How can season 2 even compete?
When FFX came out I was 11 and the ending made me weep a little, mainly because I was used tothe love story having a happy ending in FF games rather than a sad one.
Other than that, I don't think a game has ever made me cry or even gotten me emotionally involved. When Crisis Core came out I was too old to take it seriously and found it a little overdone and corny.
>>344010063
When you meet up with Kenny again was a pretty touching moment but yeah no one near s1
>>344010063
Just let him kill the cunt.
I don't understand why killing Kenny is an option there.
>>344010370
I killed Kenny, like... I can't even explain. But then I left the cunt behind. Dude I felt pretty bad for killing Kenny but I didn't know what to do...
>>344010063
When Kenny forces you to go to Wellington really made me tear up.
>>344008120
lol nerd
Only the end of Season 1 of The Walking Dead, any horrible shit that happens to kids or animals makes me gets me teary eyed.
>>344011097
I never have cried from a game, but the end of S1 was as close as I've ever come.
Teared up a few times in MGS series
- Emma's death in MGS2 and the parrot sequence
- Snake's suicide in MGS4
- The infected soldiers saluting you as you execute them in Phantom Pain
>>344006534
I nearly cried because of gascoigne's story
I've had my eyes well up before. The most recent example that comes to mind was the end of LISA: The Painful
Definitely an apt name.
>>344006261
cried? yes
what game? I don't even remember
>>344006681
Never cried to a movie, show or video game once in my life, but a book has. You underestimate literature
>>344006829
>when he takes of the hat
>>344009994
Sea of Chaos gave similar feels, especially with the music.

There was a Neverwinter Nights module called Darkness over Daggerford that had a very tear-inducing moment. What's kind of unique about it is that your character can start crying, too. It's one of my favorite role-playing moments in games.
>>344012732
Yeah. Music was God tier.

When you meet Nanaki's dad in FF7
Yeah, I bought the Fallout 4 season pass.
I cried once during Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons
Men

>>344009891
THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE BRUH
God damn mang, dat nigga was based as fuck.
It got to me mang.
Far Cry 3 was pretty emotional for me t b h
>>344006261
Terranigma did, but that's the only game I can think of.
Most recent game that nearly brought me to tears was Zero Time Dilemma.
Can't remember the last game to push me right over the edge but it was probably a visual novel.
ShitI think it might have been Steins;Gate
>That feel when you're a true pleb with shit waifu taste in everyone's eyes
>>344014810
same senpai
think it's a lot more impactful if you have a sibling in real life as well
will always be one of my top games just because it's the only game that's ever affected me emotionally
>>344006261
no
because I'm not a pussy
>>344006261
The cleansing of the science strut in Phantom Pain. I was just going through it feeling bad but determined, until the last room with all the guys saluting. That was too much.
>>344006580
Non sense, they are all media, it depends from the message.
>>344011431
>The infected soldiers saluting you as you execute them in Phantom Pain
Jesus, I never saw that.
The ending of MGS3.
The Boss is the hero we needed, but didn't deserve ;_;
the music in oblivion made me cry
in a good way though
Snake Eater

These
Didn't really cry, but got damn close. Probably closer than any other form or media, actually. Then again, maybe I just haven't seen enough for a good perspective on things
>>344006261
There was a scene in an old call of honor/cawadooty game where one of your squadmates who you're supposed to be attached to because they've been with you for every mission (I didnt even know his name) kicks open a door and gets shot 500 times by machine gun fire, in slow-mo.
I laughed so hard I cried. The fact that everyone was screaming out the guy's name when I had no idea who it was just made it funnier.
Teared up during the final boss fight in Ōkami.
>that mid-fight cutscene
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QefHJsfFvwU kicks in
I've never been so invested in a game.
>>344020481
Big Red One, i remember that shit,
rip Vic
>>344007728
>bastion
Mah nigga, that whole scene got me choked up, closest I've come to crying over vidya
>>344020523
I had the weirdest sensation playing this game. Not only did I tear up at the end, but at the beginning for a solid 10 minutes
I honestly couldn't tell what was happening. I just felt like crying and was really happy
>>344006261
Yes. All of them. Because I realize how much of my life I've wasted away for nothing. It tears me up just thinking about it.
>>344008230
Yeah, they were sad because they couldn't rape Chinese babies anymore.
>>344011097
S2 got me, when the dog died. It was a horrible death too.
