Has a game ever made you cry?

[ImSkeletor]

The ending for the Fallout: A Post-Nuclear RPG made me pretty misty eyed/depressed.

Spoiler

He singlehandedly saved his ENTIRE vault, stopped The Master's Super Mutant army, destroyed the FEV tanks, and he gets EXILED from the vault he came from

It was such a giant kick in the balls. The ending song didnt help either (Maybe by The Ink Spots)

I agree. You see the Vault Dweller walking aimlessly into the desert. Then "Maybe" starts up. The song works so well because he is wondering if they will ever think of him again.

 

[Sneeze]

Never been brought to tears but I've been moved a few times. Heavy Rain, Shenmue, Mass Effect 2 and more embarrassingly, Paper Mario: TTYD...

That fucking letter for Bobbery.

 

[Mercy Blessed]

no...don't think so. except maybe when i kept dying at the end of Thing-Thing 4. and then i finished it. it was kinda cry-worthy.

 

[Katana314]

I was pretty damn moved at this scene in Heavy Rain. Can't remember if I cried.

Spoiler

The last trial. The last question: Are you prepared to give your life to save your son? There is a deadly poison in this vial. It will kill you in exactly 60 minutes. If you drink it, you will get the last letters of the address. You will have enough time to save your son and say goodbye to him, but then you will die.


(Hugely long pause)

(Ethan drinks it. Cue tearjerker piano music.)

Heck, I'm tearing up about it now...

 

[Mr. Eff_v1legacy]

I've teared up, yes, but never full out cried.

 

[Mr. Eff_v1legacy]

Silent Hill 2. Even the Ultimate Warrior would shed a tear.

Mary's letter?

 

[AcidicR]

No. Few have brought me close.

 

[Ice Car]

I made a thread a while back, but I'm not surprised a search yielded nothing because mine was titled differently.

Anyways, FFX's ending made me ALMOST tear up a little, but I didn't.

The ending of the darkness made me weep like a mofo, This game was great but oh so depressing

THE DARKNESS

Spoiler

when you you're restrained by the Darkness, and have no control, as Uncle Paulie murders Jenny right in front of your very eyes. All in first-person

.

The ending of The Darkness is the saddest scene I have ever witnessed in a video game. It was extremely well done.

Yeah, the ending made me cry. "We get one moment...just one moment." And that music.

My goodness this. Especially if you watch how to kill a mockingbird with her. That scene alone was the best relationship development I've ever seen in a game. It was so normal, but just so powerful.

 

[Jackington]

At the end of Fallout 3, after you sacrifice yourself for the good of the wasteland. Pretty sad.

 

[MasterChief892039]

FFX made me cry, but I was like 12 years old or something, so I have no shame.

 

[sb666]

shadow of the colossus did

 

[gideonkain]

No, none ever have - and that's a shame.

I've cried at the end of the stupidest movies just because it was so uplifting that things finally worked out, but a VG has never done this...that is depressing...makes me wanna...Oh~!

 

[Tanis]

FF8's ending always gets to me.

Eyes On Me is an amazing song and when you mix it in with all that great imagery it really makes the game end on a great note.

 

[CobraX]

Silent Hill 2. Even the Ultimate Warrior would shed a tear.

Mary's letter?

No It was the first ending I got that had me going.

"If that were true, then why are you crying?"

 

[northeast rower]

Teared up but didn't quite cry while playing Splinter Cell: Conviction. 3rd Echelon Headquarters. You know which scene, if you've played the game.

 

[Enigmers]

In MGS3, with The Boss.

Spoiler

Not because she died, but because her country will think of her as a traitor after she's dead. I didn't cry, but it was still kind of overwhelmingly depressing.

 

[V8 Ninja]

The only game that's made me almost cry (thumb-blistering frustration aside) is the ending of Half-Life 2: Episode 2. Before I played the game, I never understood why people wanted Episode 3. Now I know. *sniff*
