Ask Lemmy

Yes once, and it was at the ending of "Brothers: A tale of two sons".
I bawled my eyes out.

Small game, but absolutely recommend for anyone that wants to clear out their tear canals.

Yes, alot

Final Fantasy VII, the original one. Stopped playing it for a couple months.

When it’s the 8th anti boss blind, you have 11 aces, and you go through all your discards and hands without a 4 of a kind

The metroidvania, Ori series.

Ori and the blind forest & Ori and the will of the wisps

Absolutely not! I’ve never played The Last Guardian. (Yes)

I will have to add The House in Fata Morgana to the list.

Not quite the same thing, but the song Corridors of Time have gotten me misty eyed from the nostalgia alone.

Final Fantasy 14.

• A few times during A Realm Reborn (they began early with ruthlessly killing characters)
• About twice during Heavensward and Stormblood
• Several times during Endwalker

Animal Crossing: New Horizons, in the early months of the pandemic, when the villagers threw me a surprise birthday party. I was living alone at the time and missed my real friends so much.

FFX. When Titus and Luna were playing/swimming in the lagoon/lake/whatever and being happy. If memory serves correctly, at that point in the game, it was very clear that Luna was going to be sacrificed to keep Sin from destroying the world, and she had accepted that as her duty like the other summoners before her.

• NIER Replicant
• Red Dead Redemption 1
• Everhood 1
• Final Fantasy VII Remake
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 the intro already fucked me right up. Not done the game yet.
• Metal Gear Solid 4
• Planescape: Torment

Probably more but can't remember.

Detroit become human, that game is art.

When Jackie Wells died I sobbed, well more of a break down. My dad had just passed and something about it hit fucking hard.

Kind of weep a bit of joy playing my favorite games at times and still feel the bit of sadness when they are over.

RIP Bloodwing. 😭

In life is strange 2 there's a scene where you have a dialogue option to come out of the closet to your dad. It was such a a personal experience I related to and the exchange felt authentic.

Both Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 made me cry.

The first one I remember crying from (because the game itself and not just out of frustration anyway) was when Arith dies in (the original) Final Fantasy 7.

Modern games, with more sophisticated stories and actual acting tend to elicit emotional responses more than when I was a kid; though some of the epic CRPGs still hold up because they were just better written.

Nier anything I don't think video games are silly things

Thomas was Alone. Cried over quadrilaterals.

Have you even played Stray?

Oh yes absolutely, and the few people who have played these will likely agree:

• What Remains of Edith Finch - Lewis and the finale always get me

• Kentucky Route Zero - The expensive whiskey and "Then we buried the horses"

The Witcher 3 is probably the game I have cried the most while playing. From the opening cinematic I shed tears because I found it so beautifully made, I cried when Geralt reunited with Ciri, I shed angry tears when I found a particularly gruesome crime scene during a quest.

The fucking Velen OST makes me cry sometimes.

And I'm only taking about base game here, I haven't finished any of the DLC's... Which I know are fantastic so there are still more tears to cry, so... I think I'm gonna go play just now.

I've cried really hard to the track "Confronting Myself" from Celeste, which counts as "because of a video game" even though I wasn't playing it at the time.

I'm crying again now thanks

Borderlands 2 TTAODK expansion

The ending

IYKYK

Yes, several times. The first one that comes to mind is The Last of Us Part 2.
