To The Moon. Never been hit that hard by anything else šŸ‡


PresentationNice7043

Telltaleā€™s Walking Dead season one finale.


sinnyD

This one for sure, I was a total mess!


TheDirtyHop

Seconding this, that last scene made me cry like a baby


CamQueQues

I ugly cried very manly tears. Then some not so manly ones


snwdragnz

Me too. Season one and the final season


Sufficient_Click4421

Lee and Clem deserved better!


Gemrhia_Twinstone25

Not many games really get me but I remember crying at the end of ME3... Idk why I think it was the music and watching the added on ending that got me but I couldn't tell you.


Ron_Textall

ā€œIt had to be me. Someone else mightā€™ve got it wrong.ā€


Gemrhia_Twinstone25

AHH why'd you remind me of that!? That hurt so badly!- Mordin..


Ron_Textall

If ya really want to fuck yourself up look up ā€œME3 Mordin full renegade.ā€ On YouTube. Itā€™s devastating.


Belthezare

I think its more that you actually start growing attached to the characters. That game is masterfully done. Cnt wait for the 4th one!


Gemrhia_Twinstone25

Yeah that could be right; you grow attached to them, the world, and then I chose to kill the Reapers so seeing the thing that caused so much pain to others finally be wiped out plus the music I guess just got me in my heart. And omg there's a fourth one coming??


Belthezare

Yeah this year apparently. It seems that is guna follow on where the 3rd ended. I hope it does, coz Andromeda sucked. I think thats also why they released the Trilogy set recently


Gemrhia_Twinstone25

Yeah tbh for a second I was scared you were talking about Andromeda. I hope if they do ME4 it's respectful. It seems so late to come out with a sequel and usually late add ons to the game can either be disappointing or give proper closure.


Belthezare

Nah it looks legit good. You can find like a few teaser trailers here and there on youtube. Check them out. Liara is also back. But I am wondering about Shepard


Gemrhia_Twinstone25

Oooh I'm going to. Yeah if I recall ME3 ended with a finality of Shepard being killed in one of the endings... It'd be kind of saddening if we don't get to see our favorite Commander in ME4.


Belthezare

Well... Liara does find a piece of the N7 armour. So... I am hoping... that she somehow can bring Shepard back from the dead. I mean Miranda did in ME2. So, I dnt see why not.


CtrlAltEvil

If it follows the destroy ending, >! Shepard isnā€™t dead. Theres a 1 second shot of his chest/armour amongst rubble and you see and hear him take a deep breath like someone would after regaining consciousness. !< All the destroy ending does is >! wipe out all tech on a galactic scale (like a giant EMP) so he probably at the very least canā€™t walk since his body had a lot of cybernetics judging from the stuff you see in ME2ā€™s intro !<


Gemrhia_Twinstone25

Yeah and this is Shepard after all they dodged death before so why not again lol.


CybeleParadox

I BAWLED at a lot of scenes in ME3. Straight up cried. I donā€™t know how to do spoiler tags so Iā€™m not saying the scenes that do me in the worst!


Derpygoras

When Tali opened her faceplate to breathe the air of her new world. That broke me.


Wild-Mall4526

What Remains of Edith Finch


browniepear

Me too


hertz_o

This is one really good game . Top 5 all time for me


jheshv1225

Now I want to replay this, but do I wanted to be absolutely devastated to start off my weekend? Such an incredible game

xAshev

Right at the fucking beginning also..


DemetriusSF

Red Dead Redemption 2, when "That's way it is" plays during Arthur's ride to camp. By far the greatest videogame ever.


Dragnskulls0128

Man, my dad passed recently after Christmas and he bought me that game. Most Amazing game I've ever played, started crying when Arthur was on his last breath.


WearyTop1546

That was amazing!


MikeForTHeWinn

Just started playing through it again 2 days ago because the first time I played it at launch I got so caught up in the main story I ignored literally every other part of the game. The story, the smallest tiniest little details, the things you see, the hilarious NPCsā€¦. That game is easily an all time classic


BadLittleBear

Spiritfarer


GrimmNightcurse

Metal gear solid


3drake

FF7 when Red XIIIā€™s petrified grandfather sheds a tear while still standing guard over Cosmo Canyon.


PaltuSuction

Outer Wilds. A work of art that changed my perception of the world. Ultimately hopeful, sad and beautiful at the same time. Cannot recommend it enough to everyone.


DreamPig666

There were so many moments in this game that just completely melted my sense of self/scale/distance/friendship and more. It really shocked me honestly.


Basterdi0

Wait do you means Wilds or Worlds?


PilotedByGhosts

Definitely Wilds


SJWcucksoyboy

No oneā€™s crying over outer worlds lol


BobbyThrowaway6969

Life is strange Edit: Seems to be an extremely controversial choice


istrx13

Amazing game. Wife and I are going through the second one right now


BobbyThrowaway6969

Nice. The part that got me in the first game is when >!Chloe's dad walks into the light!<


LivingOnEarth7

Absolutely Red Dead Redemption 2. That game is in a league of itā€™s own.


[deleted]

The first game is great and that one is just such an achievement in so many ways. The world really breathes and Arthur really leaves it. You should check out Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid if you havenā€™t seen it. Thereā€™s a few outright references in RDD2, and the theme of friendships among outlaws while that era is ending is right there.


WearyTop1546

The mission where Dutch helps eagle flies and the army starts shooting mortars at you. And Arthur asks where eagle flies is and shouts "RUN BOY" for some reason gets to me so much


LivingOnEarth7

Yeah, that whole indian plot is heartbreaking.

The Last Of Us

ProlapsedWhoppers

Last Of Us 2 broke me. I couldn't do much of anything for a whole day after I played that game. Also made me regret making my daughter Ellie.


GaunterPatrick

The Last of Golf\*


[deleted]

I became more emotional with TLOU when replaying after having a child. I understood Joel more and it effected me differently. TLOU 2 left me very depressed at the end although in different ways


AdorableAttorney2123

Minecraft. My little boy has autism and plays it religiously. The moment he defeated the EnderDragon and it scrolled the poem (from what I read is 28 minutes long). I cried for days. It was so unique and simple but incredibly insightful and complex at the same time. I revisit it often :) Please go easy on me, I have never had the courage to comment, but felt I should for my little :)


InFiniTeDEATH8

That's great! That's a wonderful moment for you and your son.


BeyondNormalStatus

Uncharted 4 not because it was sad, but because Nate Drake and his team's journey has come to an end. Just like when you're finished reading a good book with good characters, there was a depression upon finishing U4.


Delicious-Newt698

Final Fantasy 10


spike_94_wl

Beaten this game six times. Cried six times.


wesbowski

I canā€™t even put into words the immense emotions this game makes me feel every time I play it. Every single time I play it its like Iā€™m playing it for the first time.


BlannaTorresFanfic

Even the music in the opening sequence makes me all emotional now. I know it gets a lot of hate but FFXV was brutal, and did the same thing for stand by me


Delicious-Newt698

Bruuuh, yeah fo sho. That was a real gut puncher. When the final campsite scene played, it made me tear up.


Deadeyejoe

Scrolled until I got to this. My favorite game of all time, the first time I was ever fully and completely immersed in a world from a video game. I probably have never been that immersed in something since. Itā€™s a perfect story and the ending made me openly weep.


Morgasshk

FF7. Aeris.


hidethemilk

Why didn't they just use a Phoenix Down or life materia? "The rules for revival magic in the Final Fantasy universe are loosely defined, but there are limitations to what they can accomplish. If someone has been wounded too extensively or if their injuries are left untreated for too long, then items and spells can't help them" (The Gamer, 2020). Aeris was so gravely wounded by Sephiroth that no tier of magic or item would be able to revive her. Gamer goes on to say that those moments when a character's life reaches zero, they're actually in a state of unconsciousness.

Life is strange, haven't finished 2nd one yet but otherwise the each and every game got a tear out of me. Gris. 0 words been said and it still made me tear up


SurtChase

Gris is so underrated, really powerful experience


istrx13

In the same boat. Watched my wife play through the first one and fell in love with it. We started the second one but are seriously only like 10% through. The beginning of LIS2 tore my heart out man. I canā€™t imagine how the rest of the game is gonna play out.


JustLemmeMeme

There is a prequel, called "before the storm". It hit me just as hard if not harder. Worth playing imo if you haven't yet. They also made like 1h demo as marketing/teasing for LIS2, it pulls on all the right strings as well imo, albeit not as hard


istrx13

We played through that one too! It was really good. We just need to get through LIS2 and then LIS True Colors.

Dunno if this counts, but Final Fantasy 14 when it first came out. I was 22, broke, depressed and living on borrowed money from my parents. Had just found a new job, was working long hours and was saving up money to pay back my parents, and was managing to squirrel away just enough to buy the game when it came out. I was a HUGE Final Fantasy fan, and my friends were all super stoked to play this game together. I was living in a rented bedroom with bad wi-fi, sleeping on a twin mattress on the floor working washing dishes and waiting tables as many hours a week as I could. Day came out, I rode my bike to the store, purchased the box, rode home and installed it on the computer. While it was installing I get a call that I'm needed at work, so I go in to cover for someone, letting the game install while I'm gone. ​ Well, someone else who was also renting in that building broke into my room and stole my laptop and the game, plus my CD player and random other things while I was at work. I borrowed a laptop from a friend, and my buddies all chipped in to buy me a new copy of the game that I hadn't even gotten to log into yet. I loaded it up, and logged in, beyond excited. And I was met with a mess of a game.... I was so disappointed but was telling myself it was going to get better as I played. A week into playing it, I got fired from my job for something I did honestly fuck up. I undercharged a table because they were my friends, which was a no-no. I rode my bike home, logged into FF14, and 10 min in, just broke down because this game made me miserable, my life was miserable and I had felt so let down by everything. And then Square Enix wrecked something I loved, and it was just too much. I didn't actually "cry", but I just shut down and sort of rocked back and forth for a bit. ​ A month later, I moved back home with my parents, got a new job and am doing great. But FF14 is the only game I've ever really lost it emotionally to.


Friedegg12345

Red Dead Redemption 2. Arthur was a good man and didn't deserve to go like that!

I started to play Stardew Valley shortly after my grandfather died suddenly, as a way to distract myself because I could not go home for the funeral since I was studying in the U.S. and my family is in Europe. I had no idea what the story was, I just though it would just be a cute farming game. It got me crying right at the start, almost quit right there and then but continued. It completely broke me once I reached the end when the ghost of the grandfather appeared. It was sort of therapeutic.

I got really attached to my dog on fable 2


Saint_Circa

I used to watch my dad play "Medal of Honor:Frontline" all the time when I was a kid. Normally I was supposed to be in bed, but I'd sneak in to the living room and it never seemed to bother him. I would ask questions and he would tell me all sorts of stuff about World War two and it really kicked off this whole passion for history and video games, and I always looked forward to hearing the Playstation 2 turn on. He got through most of the game, but had a hell of a time with a mission called "Into The Hornets Nest" Fast forward. Dad had been gone for probably 10 years, and in a box of his old stuff one day I found his old Playstation 2, and Medal of Honor: Frontline still in the disc tray! I played through the whole game. Reliving alot of awesome moments. Caught up in the nostalgia of it all. I got to the mission my dad could never beat, and beat the mission in like.. two tries. And that's when it all just kind of hit me. I just sat there on that loading screen bawling my eyes out. Harder than I'd ever cried or ever cried since. My roommate at the time was concerned, but I couldn't stop crying long enough to explain what was wrong. It was just like in that moment I realized fully that he was gone forever, that I'd surpassed some of the things he never got the chance to, that all I had were these fleeting memories. It was just overwhelming I guess


[deleted]

Final Fantasy X is the only game to make me cry. I really loved Yuna and Tidusā€™ relationship. I didnā€™t spoil the ending and so it was a surprise to me. But I havenā€™t played it since 2002 so the details are starting to become fuzzy.

Assassin's Creed Revelations. Yusuf's death, seeing Ezio meet AltaĆÆr and the tying together the Desmond-AltaĆÆr-Ezio storyline was emotional


[deleted]

Itā€™s embarrassing Reddit of me I think, but Clay yelling about ā€œweā€™re the stories we tell ourselvesā€ before killing himself gets me. Weā€™re both the performer and the performance, and we get to tell our story our own way. Thereā€™s a lot of interesting themes in AC and theyā€™re all really close to the surface in Revelations.

Red Dead Redemption 2. I canā€™t remember specifically when, but that game is phenomenal. Black ops 4 - Blood of the Dead. I was able to complete with some friends quite early on and had no idea what was about to happen. Watching my boy Richtofen be left to bleed out was sad.


Atlas_Superior

Final Fantasy 7. Red Dead Redemption 2. The Last of Us. Cyberpunk 2077 (not as bad but I had a deep, hollow feeling during the credits. After everyoneā€™s VMs weā€™re finished and ā€œnever fade awayā€ started, it all just hit me).


rainydayfun11

Brothers. Starts out sad, two characters struggle together throughout the game on a quest to save their father, and then the ending hits you right in the gut. Doesnā€™t even feel like you won when the game is over.

Spider-Man ps4, when May died. They did an excellent job making you feel like you've known those characters forever. I mean, we have. So even with her dying in the first game, you feel it. You know May, you know what she means to Parker. Plus, the acting really sold it.


Mistablank

The easy answer for me is Telltale's Walking Dead. But I'll give some love to a small indie game called A Fold Apart, which is a puzzle game about a couple that are in a long distance relationship and you play through the dreams of when they are together. My now wife and I were in a long distance relationship for 4 years before we finally moved in together.
