I have to agree with a lot of those already listed.
One for me was Metal Gear Solid 5 Quiet’s Ending. She saved my bacon so many times that that I couldn’t help but tear up when she sacrificed herself to save me and then walked off into the desert, never to be seen again. Especially before the patch where that was an actual permadeath for her and you could never get her back if you played that mission. That was so sad.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
I couldn't help but laugh when Otacon told Snake that in the seconds before Sniper Wolf pulls the trigger she falls in love with all of her victims. Her death scene is quite emotional for such an old game, but then it is extremely cinematic in its overall presentation. The music and howling wolves add a lot to it.
@RogerRoger that exact same bit in MGS IV gets me choked up! It's so emotional! Hopefully will get around to replaying it this weekend after we finish portable ops
Super Mario Bros because she is ALWAYS in another bloody castle
al joking aside many people have mentioned MGSIV and i completely agree so no point going over that again, all i'll say is that it was absolutely perfectly done and a fitting end for the MGS series (then Konami ruined it with MGSV and Survive)
then the was FFVII and Aeriths Death of course i was only 12 at the time but that hit me right in the feels and still does even now, especially when the music kicks in
"I pity you. You just don't get it at all...there's not a thing I don't cherish!"
"Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
@FullbringIchigo I just hope they nail the music in the remake. Aerith’s Theme has a great booming quality to it in the original and I hope that isn’t replaced by a cleaner sound, it would really lose a lot of the feels.
Haha, to be fair I had the Snake Eater theme in my head for most of last year @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy. It's so catchy! And now it's in my head again just from typing this! 😂
Your Persona 3 mention reminded me of Shinjiro's death and I also found the stories surrounding Junpei's fleeting love interest, Kuromaro and Ken quite poignant. Thinking about it the main theme of the game is death, so there's quite a lot of sadness in it.
Death Stranding is the only game to make me cry. I won't say what part due to spoilers but the final 30 minutes were what kicked off the water works. If youve played it you know what I'm talking about.
I had a 'I've got something in my eye' moment when playing FFVII Remake earlier. And I've not even finished it yet, so can't imagine what it's gonna be like when I do.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I just replayed mgs 4 and have a few other moments that got me in the feels:
Raiden giving up on life, trying to end his treatment early so he can go and fight before snake convinces him otherwise.
Naomi ending her own life in front of Otacon on the mk.3, he does like a woman with shades of grey doesn't he!
And of course the final fight with liquid ocelot. Snake shouting liquid when liquid just won't leave him alone and also when snake realises that he sort of wants the same thing and they shoot eachother up with the Psych injections
Good posts, people...definitely piqued my interest in some games, namely Death Stranding!
I'm impressed that people have been mindful of spoilers. It's almost like you loved the experience enough that you want others to share in the magic!
TLOU and TWD aside, I've only broke down crying in 3 different games, and they also happen to be my top 3 favorite games of all time (Final Fantasy XIII ending, Dragon Age: Origins for a personal reason, and Mass Effect 1 because at the time it was a million miles away the best game I'd ever played). I wanna cry more, dammit!
@RogerRoger we've just been replaying it and I feel like mgs4 really wraps up the story well but realistically we are only half way through. The games from here on out are good in terms of gameplay but not as emotional in terms of story. I think next is peace walker, rising, ground zeroes and phantom pain (in order they came out)
Might actually get around to playing the original metal gear and metal gear 2 which I've never played before. I've also never played snakes revenge, metal gear solid (ghost Babel) for game boy colour, metal gear acid 1 and 2, metal gear survive, the "digital graphic novel" for psp and portable ops plus which I've read is sort of a story-less gameplay expanded standalone version of portable ops
@RogerRoger good stuff I look forward to hearing them!
Speaking of fear and tension, one moment in mgs 4 in the snowy canyon on shadow Moses (where you fought Vulcan raven in the tank in the original MGS), I just walked closely to a random rock and all of a sudden it just jumped up and it was a gekko (the walking tank thing) and it made me jump out of my skin! Frightened the life out of me!
Never cried to a game but a moment that got to me last night was in Code Vein after restoring the first ancient vestige, it really got me in the feels for some reason.
If you don't like it, don't play it, and shut yo damn mouth
The very first game that made me cry was Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core . Still remember that day so clearly.
There’s been a bunch of games since.... . Most recently I’d go FFXV, NieR Automata, Uncharted 4 & Yakuza 0.
It’s almost always the ending that gets me. I’m not one to tear up in the middle.
Also whenever simple & clean plays in Kingdom Hearts I become a sniffling mess😂😅.
EDIT: Some great comments!
Which reminds me that I definitely had tears of joy when I finished & platinumed Persona 5.
Persona 3 had me emotionally drained- that’s the closest any game got to Crisis Core.
The Last Guardian made me cry happy tears- what a wonderful game that was. Played it just after my first dog died. The perfect game, at the perfect time.
Lives, Lived, Will Live.
Dies, Died, Will Die.
