Has a game ever made you cry?

[Cody211282]

Nope, then again I don't cry during movies ether.

 

[CrashBang]

No, but the ending of both FFX and MGS3 brought me very close to tears

 

[Agent_Nahmen_Jayden]

I didn't cry, but I definitely teared up at points in Heavy Rain. Thinking about it now it really isn't a "game" in the traditional sense but it says PS3 on the box and I use a PS3 controller so I'm counting it.

 

[El Poncho]

Red Dead Redemption almost made me cry, a game has never actually made me cry though.

 

[Pyode]

I think there have been a few, but the only one I can think of is MGS4. At the end, when Snake is listening to Naomi's recording on Outer Haven I was fighting back tears.

I'm not entirely sure why that scene hit me so hard.

 

[KefkaCultist]

cry from sadness: Aerith's death in FFVII (mainly 'cause I was single digit age at the time though)

cry from frustration: Finding out my friend got my hardcore diablo 2 character killed while he was afk on my account

cry from laughter: Conker's Bad Fur Day (giant operatic poo monster... enough said)

 

[Joseph Murnan]

I've cried from frustration once, but never from sadness. It takes alot for me to get attached to computer game characters.

 

[Colonel Alzheimer's]

Mass effect 2 after I fucked up at the end.

When one of my squadmates died in the beginning of the mission, I loaded my game and sat through 30 minutes of cutscenes to save his life.
OT: When I was around 8, a Spiderman game on the Gamecube made me cry from frustration. You needed to button mash some door open and my little fingers were incapable. So I bawled. But I've never cried in a game from sadness (never cried in a movie, either).

I recently finished the FPS "The Darkness". I quite enjoyed the gameplay but the story was down right depressing. This is what id call an immersive shooter because i found myself feeling sad and helpless from certain plot points through out the game, But i finally cracked at the ending (It was probly because i had just tiny bit much to drink). I cryed, it was so fucking sad.

I will stop now and save what man-like dignity i have left.

So have you ever cryed over a videogame or has a game ever triggered some other unexpected emotion?

Dude i played the darkness, that stuff is deep, although i didnt physically cry i was pretty close. Touching story line.

As emotionless as the characters are the scene with dom and his wife in gears of war two. I didnt cry but that scene makes you feel so sad for him and what he has to do. Avoiding spoilers here but its when he holds her head and says "I love you. So much." slowly, like he wants to draw out the moment together forever. God that scene is heart rending.

 

[Magic Cheese]

Really? No one mentioned this yet?


Well I actually didn't cry but I was so damn close.

OH MY GOD YES! I don't think I all-out cried, but when Snake is saluting The Boss' grave, man... my "allergies" flared up.

 

[xWestie]

Yes. Three times all together.

Once in MGS2 when

Spoiler

Emma died and it was revealed she missed Hal all along.

That one. Definatly. :<
And in MGS 3 too, the ending

 

[K84]

Really? No one mentioned this yet?

I hear ya, man, i hear ya.
MGS 3.....damn, what a game.

said same on these forums quite a while ago... Only game that made me cry; and it deserved it.

ps the comic is so much better; tugs the heartstrings, and the badassery award goes to Estacado.

 

[Whitethunder]

never cried but there were my nerd rage moments in some games lol...i even had to laugh at myself a couple of times.

 

[salvagebar]

Yes. Not regularly, but more than a few times.

No spoilers for these two - both games are over ten years old:

1) the death of Floyd the Robot in "Planetfall" (text adventure, look it up). He has been an annoying comic relief device for the entire game, but he is your only company in the abandoned complex, and he dies valiantly.
2) and the final conversation with the Overseer in "Fallout". He tells you that you saved your home from destruction by famine, but that you are too changed by your experiences to ever be allowed to return.

I won't say that I was bawling uncontrollably, but I was very affected.

I agree with the Croshaw opinion of "Red Dead Redemption" - he really likes games that are very unified experiences, and games should not always attempt to be cinematic. Sometimes, though, production values really lift a game to the next level. The final moments of the main story arc are deeply moving, and I am glad that they made the epilogue very short. The epilogue was anticlimactic, really - if it was more substantial, it would have diminished the experience of ending the major storyline.

I am betting that more people were quiet than were laughing, at the end.

 

[Queen Michael]

Sure. That Crash Bandicoot game, The Wrath of Cortex? The loading times were so long I couldn't take it anymore.

Seriously though, I never played Wrath of Cortex, but I did cry at that really sad moment in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. You know.

Spoiler

When E.E. dies.

 

[Captain Pirate]

MW2, when Ghost and Roach get shot. I think I've said this around 6 times, now.
