Yeah, I once walked into a Gamestop and saw how expensive new games have gotten...

Joking aside:

• Journey

• To the Moon

• Spiritfarer

• Ori and the Will of the Wisps

All good games, I can't recommend them enough.

My partner is chronically ill and Karlach's ending in BG3 made me sob because I was romancing her and it hit very close to home

Stray had some moments

Outer Wilds. Endings of both the main game and the DLC can still get me to tear up a bit. I saw a post somewhere, don't remember, that said something along the lines of "Listening to the Outer Wilds OST is the only way I feel my feelings any more." It's about like that.

Last of us part 2.

To the moon.

I may have teared up at the end of Half-Life 2.

"It had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong".

• The Walking Dead. Clementine, my girl, she needs a hug.

• Journey. I will cry every time.

• Lethal Company. Laughter and fear crying.

• Neon White had a moment or two I think

• BioShock Infinite

• Celeste

• Assassin's Creed Black Flag

• A Short Hike

• Spiritfarer

• probably more....

Outer Wilds, both at the end and when I found the DLC spoiler character. Good tears, though. It's beautiful

When it’s the 8th anti boss blind, you have 11 aces, and you go through all your discards and hands without a 4 of a kind

The metroidvania, Ori series.

Ori and the blind forest & Ori and the will of the wisps

• Literally yesterday I started playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and just the prologue hit me.

• The end of Karlach's story in Baldurs Gate 3

Both Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 made me cry.

Absolutely not! I’ve never played The Last Guardian. (Yes)

Final Fantasy VII, the original one. Stopped playing it for a couple months.

When Jackie Wells died I sobbed, well more of a break down. My dad had just passed and something about it hit fucking hard.

Kind of weep a bit of joy playing my favorite games at times and still feel the bit of sadness when they are over.

• RDR2 of course: I had tears streaming down my face when Arthur said "I guess, I guess I'm afraid." Such an incredible performance from Roger Clark

• Titanfall 2: "Protocol 3: Protect the pilot"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Rdx1g_4bo

• The Witcher 3: A few times, it's just a really good set of storytelling and cinematics all around, and I absolutely love games where your choices determine the outcomes

• Cyberpunk 2077: When a close friend died, when V had to make a major decision at the end of the game, and when V has to make a decision to choose an ending in Phantom Liberty.

There are certainly more games I probably have shed a tear or two or many playing, but those are the ones that immediately fill me with emotion looking back

Also all of these are spoilers lol, so don't watch them if you haven't played the games, but thankfully, none of them are recent releases

• Ending of Link's Awakening
• Ending of Rain World
• Various incidents of save files becoming permanently corrupted halfway through the game and similar

Nier ending e

Disco Elysium the phone call and the dream

Yes once, and it was at the ending of "Brothers: A tale of two sons".
I bawled my eyes out.

Small game, but absolutely recommend for anyone that wants to clear out their tear canals.

RIP Bloodwing. 😭

When I played Hell blade: Senua's Sacrifice.

The symbology and story made me understand the struggles of a close friend, who succumbed to her psychosis many years ago. Felt like more than just a game.

Detroit become human, that game is art.

Thomas was Alone. Cried over quadrilaterals.

Oh yes absolutely, and the few people who have played these will likely agree:

• What Remains of Edith Finch - Lewis and the finale always get me

• Kentucky Route Zero - The expensive whiskey and "Then we buried the horses"

FFX. When Titus and Luna were playing/swimming in the lagoon/lake/whatever and being happy. If memory serves correctly, at that point in the game, it was very clear that Luna was going to be sacrificed to keep Sin from destroying the world, and she had accepted that as her duty like the other summoners before her.

The Witcher 3 is probably the game I have cried the most while playing. From the opening cinematic I shed tears because I found it so beautifully made, I cried when Geralt reunited with Ciri, I shed angry tears when I found a particularly gruesome crime scene during a quest.

The fucking Velen OST makes me cry sometimes.

And I'm only taking about base game here, I haven't finished any of the DLC's... Which I know are fantastic so there are still more tears to cry, so... I think I'm gonna go play just now.

• NIER Replicant
• Red Dead Redemption 1
• Everhood 1
• Final Fantasy VII Remake
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 the intro already fucked me right up. Not done the game yet.
• Metal Gear Solid 4
• Planescape: Torment

Probably more but can't remember.

I've teared up for some. In Sound Mind made me think of my cat who was recently deceased and was more special to me than any of the other pets I had. And then there was the ending for Outer Wilds, and the... fuckin' everything in Ori and the Blind Forest.

Yes, several times. The first one that comes to mind is The Last of Us Part 2.

As a kid I cried out of frustration while playing Dragon Ball Z Budokai during the Super Saiyan Goku vs 100% Full Power Frieza fight. It was just a massive difficulty spike that I'd constantly struggle with. My mom would make fun of me for it for a long time.

For anything more recent, I did cry in Danganronpa V3 at the end of the fourth trial. It was the only time my favorite character in one of these games died and the reason it happened sent me into a batch of sadness that lasted a few days where I just refused to keep playing the game.

Shadow of the Colossus. Hands down one of the saddest games I’ve ever played.

Nier anything I don't think video games are silly things

I've cried really hard to the track "Confronting Myself" from Celeste, which counts as "because of a video game" even though I wasn't playing it at the time.

I'm crying again now thanks

Celeste is so. fucking. good.

absolutely amazing game in every way

The end of God of War (2018).

Played through Before Your Eyes and it absolutely broke me. I'd 1000% recommend using a camera and going in blind. Very emotional experience.

I've only seen it in the s thread once, and just up voting it didn't seemed enough. I've played the majority of games people are mentioning here, some of them are quite sad and hit you like a punch in the stomach. Another one I also didn't cried but felt very strongly about it and I don't think I've seen it mentioned here was Life is Strange, there's one particular scene that got me very hard.

All of this is to say, I don't usually cry on movies, books or games, it's not a "boys don't cry" kind of thing, I don't have a problem with crying or with getting in touch with my feelings, I just don't cry very often or for any reason. However, I don't know if it was the story on its own or the blinking mechanic but Before your eyes had me crying, and wasn't just a couple tears either, I only held myself together because I couldn't leave the game until it finished. That game was an experience, I recommend going in blind and using the camera.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, right near the end. I don't want to spoil too much, but I never thought a game mechanic would make me emotional.
