games that have made you cry.

I don't think any game ever brought me to actual tears, but some did make me choke up a bit.

Then there's the part in SOTC when

But generally I need to really care about a character for it to affect me that strongly. When a character I liked dies in a game, it generally sucks, but rarely am I genuinely sad about it.

 

The only thing in recent years that I remember genuinely bringing me to tears was the Lost series finale.

I must've teared up at least half a dozen times while watching it :lol:

Though some of it were tears of joy, depending on the characters.

 

*sigh* ... I miss Lost :(

I don't think there's anything in here that you don't find out within like the first 10 minutes of the game...

 

Other than inside spoiler tags, I mean.

 

Oh, you might be right.

 

Sorry - it looked spoilery so I ran screaming into the night.

 

It's what I do when I think I see spoilers.

 

:P

Yeah, SotC made me well up a bit from it's beauty.

 

And yeah, everytime you kill a Colossi, you never really feel good about it. There's a moment of "yes, I overcame a challenge of incredible magnitude", then you just sit for a few moments in silence watching them fall over, helpless. Then the pathos kicks in.

 

The worst thing is when you come back a couple of battles later, and the body of the one who used to live there is all degraded and skeletal. Really amazing game for putting you in a place and time, even if the sense of time is totally impressionistic and intangible.

 

Nobody cry at/near the end of Ico? Made me well up a bit, again, but mostly for

The brutal ending of GTAIV where

How about Braid? I didn't cry, but I certainly held my head in my hands from how emotional it was, and how harrowing the ultimate message was.

 

Up was brilliantly, beautifully tragic, as was Toy Story 3. Amazing what Pixar can achieve these days.

This list may be slightly spoilerific, so don't read anything but the opening sentence for each line if you don't want ruination.

 

I welled up with tears during the opening for Heavy Rain.

Also, Metal Gear Solid 4 really got to me.

By far, the most emotionally-driven game for me was The Darkness (strange choice, I know).

That actually had me crying too. I remember now I cried twice at MGS4. That scene was just....heart wrenching. I was hungover at the time and I'm always a bit depressed when I'm hungover and I thought that played a factor but it was such a sad scene.

Too bad they destroyed everything that made it good in the sequel.

 

:bun-cry:

Naww, it's still gonna be good, just different, I've got the faith!

Yeah, to be fairer I probably should have said "everything that I liked about it" rather than "everything that made it good." It may still be a good game, but it won't really feel like a Dragon Age game.

Yeah, it didn't make me cry, but I did feel compelled to do even the things that I knew were futile.

Ah yeah, that bit in MGS4 is really harrowing. They managed to make it seem so endless, too. I loved the Darkness, I'm wondering what they're going to do in the sequel. That ending was, indeed, pretty sweet. So unusual for a game to end like that, too. Brillo.

Ha, I don't even remember that part. Guess I might be due for a new run through it.

When it first came out, I only played it once, which is unusual since I usually play a MGS game to hell and back until I can't stand it anymore.

When Subsistence came out, I must've played it like 5 times in a row with my last run spent hunting down all those damned frogs to get the stealth camo... Never again O_O.

 

But anyway, I think that might have been because I had only just gotten my PS3 and had other games I was eager to play.

Took me over a year to even give MGS4 a second run.

Man, you guys are almost making me want to dust off my copy of The Darkness to actually finish it. It must've been sitting on that shelf for close to 2 years now... <_<

 

Weird thing is, I don't really know why I never finished it. I remember enjoying it enough.

But I think constantly hearing that it was shit might have subconsciously convinced me I was wasting my time playing it...

I haven't really bawled to anything or shed any tears, but the ending of FFX when Yuna passed through Tidus after he started to go got me choked up. Weird.

I see a few MGS4 answers and I have to say it does zero to a person's emotions if you haven't played the past games at all.

Yeah, I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of responses here, if not all of them, are loosely defining "cry" as "my eyes got watery" or something similar.

I don't tend to cry at video games, not sure why but Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons hit me like a freight train. Special nod to Tearaway, which whilst it didn't make me cry, did make me feel something I've not felt in a video game for a while, a sense of loss that the story was coming to it's conclusion, almost that same feeling you get when you finish a TV series, or a good book.

No game has ever made me cry. But the last shot of the E3 trailer for Valiant Hearts, with the doggy laying on all the graves, made me a little emotional. Just a bit.

I just don't get the appeal of Tearaway...  It was fairly enjoyable, that's about the best I can say for it.

 

That's like saying you don't like the appeal of ice cream, sunshine, or puppies.

I'll second TLoU though.

It's probably because your a heartless monster who eats children and kittens for breakfast.

 

Right?
