We were crap on the day but missing so many players. Palace deserved it.
Video game though?
Yeah, RDR2 and The Last of Us Part II are the obvious ones. So many moments from both outside of the big events, in particular some chance encounters in Red Dead that ended up affecting me as much as they did Arthur. Thinking of the moments with the 'veteran' in Valentine and the widow in the northern section of the map.
With Part II, just and emotional rollercoaster from Joel's Pearl Jam cover to the final flashback.
Some of my ideas have been mentioned — namely the ending of both Red Dead Redemptions and The Walking Dead. Shadow of the Colossus is a good shout too, as well as The Last of Us (I haven’t played part 2 yet but the first one ended with a gut punch)
I’ve mentioned these before on similar discussions , but others that come to mind are worthy of mention —
NieR Automata - for my money it’s the most unique ending to a game that I think I’ve played (that is the true ending after doing all the playthroughs). Left me speechless.
What Remains of Edith Finch - great ending after such a sombre and unique game
It wasn’t the actual game’s ending but Quiet’s ending in MGS5 was pretty impactful. Especially before they patched it so you could recruit her back. Before then having one of your companions permanently MIA was heartbreaking
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons - if you haven’t played this emotional roller coaster of a game, do it now.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Maybe RDR2. The ending made me quite sad, even though you could see it coming from around half way through the game, was attempting to stave off the inevitable.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@NedStarksGhost it is so good!! I'm very intrigued by how they may fit the dlc in to that narrative. Few games I wanted to pull apart like that and that final run, chefs kiss good.
For me both last of us games, the first for that ending and faced with the uncertainty of your choices and the second for viscerally disagreeing with your characters choiced towards the end and seeing the futility of it. Also loved firewatch ending, when etta James I would rather be blind plays, ooft! Both red dead games too, though in two when your horse dies and you get left to die , that felt rough. Not that the ending of John's story in one wasn't rough!
People mentioning TLoU but the end of the summer storyline with Sam and Henry had me in bits.
Also the very ending of the second season of The Walking Dead game. I cannot for the life of me even remember how it ended but I specifically remember being in bits when a delivery guy then rang the doorbell and I had to try and quickly compose myself before answering it.
