Hall of shame: games that have made you cry

[GildaTheGriffin]

Borderlands 2 spoilers:

Spoiler

Borderlands 2, when Bloodwing died. It was heart breaking to see her go in such a way. I made Handsome Jack pay after that. God, I got so angry, I had legit nightmares of seeing her die over and over in my mind. It's psychotic of me, but after a few days, it receded into the void of my memories.

I will forever miss you Bloodwing :'(

DUDE, WHAT THE FUCK SPOILERS MUCH.

That game JUST came out.

Not cool.

Sorry, but it's very minor to the storyline. I didn't mean to spoil it.

Persona 3, nothing says powerful like the most likable character saying goodbye, thanks to you, and actually cries for the first time.
Persona 4, haven't beaten it, but this forum alone is pushing me to finish it, for the ending...
Infamous 2, good/bad ending, yeah...
RDR, also yeah...
Shadow of the Colossus, so much love at the end...
No More Heroes, symbolism alone was tears of joy worthy.

I'm a sensitive guy, and I can safely say all these games made me shed a tear. But the award goes to Persona 3, I was alone in when I got to the ending so it was safe to cry like I was watching the end to Forrest Gump. Congrats Persona 3, and thank you Aigis for the most powerful final monologue ever delivered in gaming history.

No games have, but I gotta admit I felt pretty awful after

Spoiler: Borderlands 2 spoilers

Handsome Jack killed Bloodwing

 

[Karoshi]

I literally sobbed during Mordins part in ME3, since I botched that arc so hard. Argh, why did that game have to be so damn depressing?

Starcraft 2 ending made me cry a bit as well, as much as Beyong Good and Evil did.

Honorable mention goes to Dear Esther and Bastion who didn't make me cry, but tugged my heartstrings so hard, it hurt for several days.

Mass Effect 3: Many different points in the game.

Bastion: I was crying while I carried Zulf away from his people. Plus the ending, choosing to live with the Calamity and take Zulf with me. The ending was so beautiful that I pretty much had to shed some tears. Plus the music during both of those parts is just gorgeous.

Halo 3: When I thought Chief was dead (ya laugh it up).

Borderlands 2:

Spoiler

Bloodwing's death. Me and him were pals in the first game. Same with Roland's death. It's weird to have a character gunned down when you actually spent a lot of time using them in the previous game.

 

[Austin Howe]

The only game that I think has ever legitimately made me cry was Kingdom Hearts at the end. That still gets to me a bit.

Ok, actually, I think the ending of every Metal Gear has at least gotten me watery-eyed, but I don't think it's every gotten the waterworks.

Hall of Shame? Please explain what is shameful about crying about things that evoke emotions?

 

[EmperorSubcutaneous]

Tears of sadness:
Riven (if you become attached to the world, the ending just tears your heart up)
Silent Hill 2 (the letter at the end, especially since the actress' emotions sound so genuine)
Ico (the whole scene right after the final boss fight, when the theme song plays)
Dragon Age: Origins (the first ending I got, in which Alistair died; I had to replay it just to get a happier one)
Dear Esther (yeah, I was going through a thing at the time...)
Mass Effect 3 (oh, Mordin)

Tears of happiness because I'm really depressed and when something makes me feel joy I just cry:
Journey
Botanicula

More to come as I play more games, I am sure.

 

[The Wykydtron]

Putting aside the question of why simply crying is something to be really, really ashamed first, of course.

[sub]You judgemental sluts[/sub]

I'll go with Ace Attorney 3. The end of that last case is pure brilliance. Persona 4 made me start crying three seperate times within ten minutes (the ending man!) annnnnnnnd oh just like 5 minutes ago when I was watching Cry's LP of the new Walking Dead, the first part. Funny how i'm more emotional over a dog dying than of some random kid dying. Seriously I did not care about that kid at all. You ever own a pet you'll understand ;_;


Oh and a non-game example. Gurren Lagann. Episode 8. Fuck.

 

[IrradiatedFish]

Too many games have made me cry. But only one has made me sob like a baby. Lost Odyssey.

*sniff* Some of those memories/stories/dreams (whatever they are!) are so incredibly touching. Kaim is certainly one of my favourite characters in any game ever just because of his depth of character depicted in those stories... And yes, some are incredibly sad... I'm not really the kind of person who easily lets the tears role, but some of those stories had me all teary-eyed for sure :').

Also, haven't finished the game? Do it, haha! It's great, even if just for the sake of reading the rest of those wonderful short stories!

Metal Gear Solid 3

This one too! MGS3 is always the very first game I think of when the topic of sadness inducing video games arises... That whole ending sequence is something I simply can't describe in words. After the final confrontation with The Boss I could hardly focus on what was going on in the game for the next 10 minutes because I was so distraught... And then of course things get even more progressively depressing at the conclusion of the game. *sigh* What an experience that game was...

Edit: Also, to the inevitable mentioning of FF7 by various people, I'm just going to say now that Galuf in FFV > Aeris/Aerith (whichever you prefer) In FFVII.

 

[likalaruku]

None, but I'm a cold unfeeling b**ch who hasn't cried since she was 7. I blame the ADHD medications.
