Has a game ever made your cry?

[icame]

I consider myself to be a relatively contained person when it comes to my emotions. (Though some may disagree ) When my grandfather died, I didn't cry despite being very close with him. I did not cry when both of the pets we had had since my birth got put down. Nor did I cry when my best friend was in a fatal car crash.

I had not cried for any reason in the last 4 years, despite having grave injuries done to my body, and many sad moments happen in that time. So what was able to break my streak? A video game.I cried my eyes out at the ending of persona 4. (The good ending) Its not like it was sad... but it really felt like I was saying goodbye to the characters that I had learned to care so much for.

I want to know if a game had this type of effect on anyone else, and if so, which game did you in?

Not that I can think of really. Crash Bandicoot 2 makes me tear up a little, but that's just because I miss my childhood.

 

[Kimarous]

Literally? None. I'd list some hyperbolic examples of me "weeping" at various titles for negative reasons, but that's not what this topic is about.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Yep.

Enslaved, when Tripp finds her village.

LA Noire - the ending.

ICO - again- the ending. The story was very beautifully told.

Several over t he years, and I'm not exactly the most quick to cry person in the world.

The most recent one is probably the point in DA2 where you find the mother. I don't want to post spoilers but its hardly the happiest moment in the world.

Early on there were a few "tragic twist near the end where important character dies!" gimmick got to me, but these days it's just so common I don't care.

The only thing really, 100%, to get to me emotionally are little girls who are suffering or need protecting. Needless to say I didn't eat any Little Sisters. Thinking on it, Bioshock 2 is probably the most recent game to get to me consistently.

I teared up a bit in Dragon Age: Origins. I played the female Dalish Elf, and apparently did the dialogue choice where Tamelen falls in love with you. Didn't find that out until after the "Paragon of her Kind" quest when we were in camp and attacked. Then Ghoul Tamelen shows up, confesses that he always loved my character, and then I was forced to kill him. Call me a sucker for romance, but Jesus Christ that was hard. I really, really didn't want to kill him.

I'll man up and admit that I got taery-eyed at the end of portal 2, I don't what it was that made me cry about it, I just did. I almost broke into full blown tears when I died in Minecraft. I had just colected a shit tone of materials that i needed (iron and diamonds mostly) and fell into a lava pit.

Final Fantasy 8, Laguna's Tragedy.

Limbo, the horrible fridge logic. (How did he follow his sister into Limbo exactly?)

Black Ops, buyer's remorse.

 

[Rabid Chipmunk]

Maybe I play all the wrong games, but no, no game has ever made me cry. Then again, no work of fiction has made me cry since I was 8 and I didn't understand why the grandma died in Volcano.

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

Not from an intended part of the story, no. When I was really young, some games would bring me to tears of frustration and anger, but that's about it.

 

[TheJesus89]

One time I was near it, but the game wrecked it.

Metal Gear Solid 4.

It's ending was sooo perfect. I mean, there was no better way to end the game. It was tragic and beatiful, and ended one of gaming's most storied franchises.

"Snake lived a hard life..."

I was all set to cry tears of manly sorrow...

And then Big Boss shows up and fucks everything up.

Why, Mr. Kojima. You have the balls to make some of the oddest games ever, where a porno magazine is a weapon, where using a cardboard box is a viable option.

But you don't have the balls to kill off your character?
That's just wrong.

Enslaved, when Tripp finds her village.

I probably would have if I hadn't seen it coming from the very beginning. Although finding her father was handled pretty well, I was kinda expecting him to be the only survivor.

OT: FFVII. You know the drill.

 

[Jukofux]

Persona 3 Portable, ending. I knew it was coming yet i still cried.
Dragon Age 2, two times, the end of mothers mission and Marithari's fate.

 

[Wayneguard]

Ninja Gaiden 2 made me cry... in fucking frustration >_<

Bad writing killed her.

 

[Matthew Dunn]

The end of Mirrors edge
I was like ;-;
And also Neir
Im a big softy -_- for a guy

 

[Ratlover]

It would have to be Earthbound. It was such a dark RPG and the childhood innocence of Ness facing Giygas was astounding. It has a cult that wants to paint everything blue, a statue that absorbs peoples souls, and a final boss that was based off a rape scene that the main director saw as a kid.

I learned that lesson later. That's probably why I cried.

Super Meat Boy made me cry tears of frustration.
This was on World Three or Four, the salt mills area.
I stopped that day.
