RDR2, in my defense I was very drunk

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

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

A few times. Ones that come to mind

Gears 3 : DOOOOMMMMMM NOOOOOOOOO

Spiritfarer : Hedgehog grandma goodbye

Brothers : a tale of 2 sons. The ending.

What remains of Edith finch: fish factory, baby and ending.

Halo Reach, just a little tiny bit : New Objective- Survive.

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit got me pretty darn close.

I don't get too emotional at games, but I do at music.... and even though I was laughing my ass off with joy at Metal Gear Solid 2, I cried at the ending because I just enjoyed it so much and the music hit me in the feels.

Other than that... not really. I had the most emotional investment in a game with the Mass Effect series, but by the end of 3, I was kinda checked-out when everyone was getting offed. I was already over it.

Braid definitely got me lumpy at the end.

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

RDR2 almost did that to me at the end

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago

My brother beat me at Pipemania, so I put my foot through a glass door panel.

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Got close sending Floyd to his death in Planet Fall.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Death Stranding 2. And I’m not even finished yet.

[–] ClusterBomb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

I cried when I wasn't able to play League of Legends anymore because of Vanguard.

Other than that, I think I cried a little with Life is Strange.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

All around me are familiar faces...

[–] Googlies@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Gears of War 3 - Dom

[–] mr_timns@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Devil May Cry back in 2001, and hellblade in 2017. There weee probably others that I had a response to, but those both had tears falling.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I don't think I've ever had a "sad emotion" at all playing a game... I rarely have any emotion besides happy or angry playing games lol.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

A couple of times, yes. I think the one I cried the most was the opera scene in Final Fantasy VI, it was just one of the most magnificent scenes in gaming.

[–] GEEXiES@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

As annoying as she was, Fi from Skyward Sword almost made me cry at the end of the game. Well, a couple of tears.

[–] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nier and Signalis are the first two that come to mind

Honestly also Minecraft but that was mostly because I was playing during a bad time and the ost kicked in
