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 ๐Ÿ˜„)

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, this is the series that stands out for me, the ending of innocence really got to me

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.

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

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

Edit: I JUST REMEMBERED JACKIE MA FROM SLEEPING DOGS

[โ€“] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

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

[โ€“] Auth@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

[โ€“] CannedCairn@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Yes, many times, ff7 was the first

[โ€“] Googlies@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Gears of War 3 - Dom

[โ€“] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

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

I cried when I wasn't able to play League of Legends anymore because of Vanguard.

Other than that, I think I cried a little with Life is Strange.

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.

Final Fantasy IX and X, Detroit: Become Human

[โ€“] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

RDR2 almost did that to me at the end

[โ€“] GEEXiES@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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

[โ€“] sturmblast@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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.

[โ€“] Matriks404@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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.

[โ€“] ladytaters@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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".

Braid definitely got me lumpy at the end.

[โ€“] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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
