Ask Lemmy

Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC. One last fun ride with a bunch of friends before the final reckoning.

For added gut punch: romance Thane.

Actual cry? No

Really felt something when Tali died in Mass Effect 3. Made a bad choice and she was the penalty of that choice.

Cyberpunk, but only because that fucking song came on the radio.

Skyward Sword… Zelda’s story was so moving.

Malenia got me damn close to.

Arthur's journey teared me up a bit in RDR2.

Edit: I JUST REMEMBERED JACKIE MA FROM SLEEPING DOGS

How comes no one mentioned plague tale (both games) ? I don't know how good the English voice acting is, but in French it was really poignant.

The final battle in Lisa: The Joyful got me. That he doesn’t even attack you - that he hugs you - while “He’s My Dad” plays…

Yes, alot

Yeah ff10 when I was like 13 lol

I will have to add The House in Fata Morgana to the list.

I think most recently I cried while playing Wandersong; such a great game!

Destiny when Cayde 6 died. There was a goodbye message Cayde left for his son saying something like "I'm coming home". Well it was right around when my father passed and I was a fucking wreck.

As someone who has had the chance to play through Xenoblade Chronicles 1 through 3, several times in 3 specifically I was very emotional.

3 is a game that's emotional on its own, and throughout its story there are several times where it hits like a truck.

But when you know about all three games, some things just hit a little harder, especially during that DLC.

There's definitely a reason I have Mio and Noah Amiibo on my desk right now.

Honestly, XC3 is probably the best RPG of that generation (of course that's on opinion. But it's a correct one 😄)

Yes, many times, ff7 was the first

Yep. I play FFXIV and I'm on estrogen. I cry basically every major patch cycle.

I dont know why, but i cried in some wierd situations. Like at the endboss fight of ori 2 and the endboss of the pacifist ending of undertale. And not after the fight, during! I think it's some kind of being overstimulated and way to much things are happening, but in a nice way with the exact amount of difficulty.

Two that I can remember.

• To The Moon
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Excellent storytelling transcends the medium, but it’s a shame that there are so few games that have managed to tug at my heartstrings.

Edit: I am reading the comments and making a list. Sometimes a good cry is the catharsis an aching soul needs.

No video game's story has ever made me cry. But I've cried a little from games that I loved, but played to death, getting every achievement and realizing there was absolutely nothing more to experience.

Gris. For real, go play it if you havent. Worth the story.

If a character dies and I liked them enough to feel sad then I usually just quit the game. Theres no point to play beyond that. Like cyberpunk 2077 I really liked Jackie and when he died I just quit half an hour later. I've picked up the game a few times since but its really not the same without my homie.

When I was a child I was very moved by the sequence in Homeworld where they returned to Kharak. Everything was burning and Adagio for Strings playing.

Just recently with and Roger

It hit me hard, definitely recommend, with the heads up that it’s only about an hour long.

Not quite the same thing, but the song Corridors of Time have gotten me misty eyed from the nostalgia alone.
