When was the last time a game made you cry?

[Dest]

Era, I had a good cry last night about something completely unrelated to video games, but today I've been thinking about times games made me cry. The last thing that really hit me was the opening to Ori. Maybe it was because I was tired it hit me harder but hot damn I WEEPED for a good few minutes after that opening cutscene.

So when was the last time a game made you cry? This could be a good happy cry or a flat out sad cry.

Edit, I'll note the ones I can think of that hit me hard.

• Opening to Ori and the Blind Forest
• Basically all of Journey
• The Walking Dead Season 1 ending
• Epic Games Store Exclusives

 

[WestEgg]

I think I teared up a little at the end of Xenoblade 2.

 

[Eikemo]

Spiderman ps4, you know why

Oh, I know why but I uh, I didn't really feel anything personally.

 

[Black_Red]

Mass Effect 3.

THAT Tuchanka Scene

Then the ending made me angry.

 

[Deleted member 54320]

Rambo: The Video Game

 

[JaseMath]

[Laser Man]

Resistance 2, I hated the game so much that I started crying!

 

[Memento]

I think TLOU ending

 

[Droidian]

Final Fantasy XV

Spoiler: You guys

...are the best

I also JUST finished Ori and the blind forest (non DE) After 3 years
9 hours and 309 deaths later.
Amazing game.

Yeah, this one for me, too. The whole ending sequence, including several emotional moments and then the final scene alongside that beautiful music track. Very touching :)

 

[Gutsfree]

Spiderman PS4 a few times and then previously, probably way too much during my playthrough of the Mass Effect series.

 

[Cloud-Hidden]

Yesterday I got a little choked up playing Wandersong. That game is so freaking cute and touching.

 

[Ge0force]

Control, when I heard it went Epic Store exclusive :'(

 

[Dest]

Same

 

[Cure Save Exit]

Almost cried with The Last Guardian.

 

[Rob2K19]

Playing Kingdom Hearts 3. I waited 9 years for my wish to come true.

 

[AsphaultRat]

Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1 finale
Journey (almost all of it, but the ending was something special)
The Last of Us (right at the beginning)

There's more, but I can't remember right now.

 

[y2kyle89]

Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter

Spoiler

Something about Estelle talking to her mom at the end of the dream just made me very happysad.

 

[Kaioh]

I don't think a video game has gone so far as to make me cry since Illusion of Gaia on the Snes when the pig jumped into the fire.

 

[verygooster]

Me: "And that's Kingdom Hearts 2.5 finished."

Sora: "We're back."
Kairi: "You're home."

Me:

 

[passing breeze]

the ending/credits of Tales of Berseria really got me.

 

[Kemono]

Last time was Spider-Man(PS4).

 

[JohnOfMars]

Only two times:

Spoiler: Celeste

it's okay to be afraid

Spoiler: Brothers: A Tale of Two Brothers

when the little brother has to swim across the stream and he's never done it alone before and he imagines his older brother there to help him

 

[Officer Beefsteak]

The ending of the first two seasons of telltale walking dead got me really bad, as well as the ending of Life is Strange.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I'm way too tough and gruff to have gotten teary-eyed at the end of Metal Gear Solid 3, or the whole introduction to God of War. Definitely didn't pull at my heartstrings.

 

[Alien Bob]

Couple of weeks ago I finally played through What Remains of Edith Finch and that shit had me bawling like a little baby

 

[MadMod]

Teared up a lil at The Walking Dead ending, no other game has.

 

[Reedirect]

I think Nier Automata: Ending E.

 

[DontHateTheBacon]

The last hour or so of The Last Guardian was fuckin' brutal.

I laugh at that part but I'm sure as a kid I must've reacted in shock. Don't remember.
The ending does leave you feeling small though.

 

[Aurongel]

My replay of The Last of Us during the ending of the winter chapter. You know the moment.

Prior to that, it was probably Night in the Woods simply because of how much of that game relates to my upbringing and gradual disenfranchisement with my rust belt hometown. It captured my early 20's malaise so well that it drudged up a lot of recent memories of depression and regret.

 

[Alanood]

Wellll... I never cried/teared up because of a game.

 

[TheMoon]

A few weeks ago when I finished RiME ...that ending destroyed me.

 

[Deleted member 2254]

I don't cry for media. It probably last happened when I was like 5 when a dog died in a movie. But the games the got closest to pulling it off are RiME's ending and post-ending and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey's ending.

We literally posted this seconds away from each other. RiME's ending is one of the all-time greatests in games imho, shame much of the positive talk was buried under the Sony fans betrayalthon row, the false reports about Denuvo tanking the performance on PC and such. Truly deserves more praise.

 

[Ozorov]

Tlou

 

[dtcm83]

End of The Last Guardian. Before that, it was the beginning of The Last of Us quite a few years back.

Is it worth getting through? I bought it on release but it felt so clunky and the performance was less than optimal, but I still want to go through it at some point...

Back to back on RiME! I'll have to give it a look. I like games that make me emotional.

 

[_ifigured]

Undertale...last year. I was kinda late to that party. A certain song from the OST still makes me a bit weepy.

 

[Deleted member 40102]

I think I teared up a little for phantom pain. Unlike others I loved the story it was touching.

 

[BennyWhatever]

To the Moon (I think I played it in 2015?). What a beautiful game.

 

[jiggle]

Reaching apotheosis in journey
That was pure magic

There's plenty of emotional payoff in that game, so don't miss it. You can finish it in a couple hours if you're not looking for every collectible from the get go, and what initially looks like a kiddy adventure soon turns into a massive rollercoaster of events, feelings, emotions. I very much recommend it if you want emotions, it's easily one of the most impactful (on me) game stories I ever witnessed.

 

[mephixto]

Journey

 

[PucePikmin]

Walking Dead: The Final Season Ep 4. Brace yourselves!

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

The only thing that made me come close was Aeris in FF7. When it happened it took me a minute to process. All I could think about how kind and innocent she was the entire time. I welted up but no tears.

 

[Terranort]

Kingdom Hearts 3 endgame in general. I cried a lot xd.

 

[Midas]

Never. But the last part of The Last Guardian made me feel lots of things.
