Board 8 > Have you ever cried while playing a video game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yes. A bunch of times in a bunch of games but I'll just mention Trails From Zero when Renne saves Colin from the wolves.

Oh shit I forgot the Ori games. Pretty sure both of them made me tear up at one point or another. Hell, I think the freaking intro of Ori 1 got me.

Also Braid - I don't even think it was the ending level (I remember not even comprehending it the first time I played it - realizing it later was more mindblowing than tearjerking) but I think some of the text got me after the final level. I mean, Oppenheimer's quote is always powerful.

Crying is good.

Gris - the ending, and also at the end of the bird boss.

Fate:Grand Order - I was fine through the cutscene of Mash dying, but the part where you had to pick a different support character and she was unavailable destroyed me. Just ugly sobbing.

Ace Attorney 3-5 - whenever I see that sweet little flashback photo of those two, it's happy tears! Basically anything that makes Maya [text to throw people off] cry, makes me cry.

The House in Fata Morgana - the scene where Michel is bleeding and Giselle hugs him. Also several scenes where a character is being cruel to Michel.

I'm sure there's more that's not coming to mind.

For Fata Morgana, I'm not sure anyone can get through the part with this song without cracking.

I get moved very easily. However, I never cry, no matter how moved I am. (with the exception of a couple of situations in RL) I was very moved when I played PSMD, the ending, but that's how all PMD games are, apparently.

I definitely agree with Llarian on 3-5... it's one of the best things about that case, and it has lots of amazing things in it! Funny, but also very touching!

Also, the scene in FF7 where the track The Great Warrior plays.

I think I get moved just as much as anyone else in this topic, but the tears simply will not come out for some reason.

The end of 3-5 in Trials & Tribulations definitely got me choked up, particularly when Phoenix tells Iris, "You really are the person I always thought you were," but no actual tears.

Seriously, to the people who haven't cried at a game, just play the first 5 minutes of Ori.

I honestly don't even remember what you guys are talking about

The first 5 minutes of Ori were spoiled in their entirety in the reveal trailer for Ori, so it's a pretty weak moment unless you went into the game completely blind.

Just another case for why you should go into most games blind

Oh goodness. Yes.

I did play this, by the by. Very good and essential.

OH! YES!

I shed some tears at that scene, every time. I'm not even sure if it's deserved, the music is doing a lot of the work.

I cried at the famous FF7 spoiler.

Oh maybe the Ori 2 sidequest with the family

In particular after completing it and going back to the house

Honestly it happens pretty easily nowadays

pretty sure Suikoden 2 was the first video game to make me cry

since then I've cried at a lot of games, but the ones that come to mind are Metal Gear Solid 2, Undertale, Kingdom Hearts 3 (yes... I know. I'm ashamed), Spirit of Justice, Great Ace Attorney, Danganronpa V3

This fucked me up for a day, at least :(

Not really, no. But I have swelled up at a few games. The most recent I can remember is when Ellie sang Take On Me in Last of Us 2. It might have been the first time the lyrics of that song really dawned on me.

FF14's Dark Knight quests got me (the level 70 one).

Then the last zone of Endwalker (particularly when the lyrics kick in) got me again.

*snerk*

And yes, I went in blind because I wasn't following the game before it came out.

I've cried every time I've watched a particular part of Klonoa 1.

not to this extent for me but yup, this is the one.

More times than I can count.

The one that made me sob for quite some time, was the ending of Journey
