    Arthur knew what he signed up for; and I had come to accept what I could see coming at that point.. But his horse's death hit me fucking hard.

      No. Why would you ever get so emotionally entangled in a video game?

          Wuthering waves had me tear up a few times actually. They have some really good stories around their characters, tie that in with some of the best music I've heard in a game and it just plays with your emotions.

          I'm sure anyone who has played it knows the encore story lol

          I'm almost 40 years old and have been playing games my entire life, like way too much, and I can't believe I'd actually be saying wuthering waves, a freaking predatory gacha game, is probably in my top 5 best games I've ever played when considering overall quality along with how fun it is. I only found it like 2-3 months ago and I've already put over 200 hours in it... There's a joke that Kuro games is a music/anime company that attaches a game to their art.

                As a kid I cried out of frustration while playing Dragon Ball Z Budokai during the Super Saiyan Goku vs 100% Full Power Frieza fight. It was just a massive difficulty spike that I'd constantly struggle with. My mom would make fun of me for it for a long time.

                For anything more recent, I did cry in Danganronpa V3 at the end of the fourth trial. It was the only time my favorite character in one of these games died and the reason it happened sent me into a batch of sadness that lasted a few days where I just refused to keep playing the game.

                    The Witcher 3 is probably the game I have cried the most while playing. From the opening cinematic I shed tears because I found it so beautifully made, I cried when Geralt reunited with Ciri, I shed angry tears when I found a particularly gruesome crime scene during a quest.

                    The fucking Velen OST makes me cry sometimes.

                    And I'm only taking about base game here, I haven't finished any of the DLC's... Which I know are fantastic so there are still more tears to cry, so... I think I'm gonna go play just now.

                          Lol, I tear up just hearing River's song, it's such an amazing story. We also played Laura Shigihara's cover of "Everything's alright" for my wife walking down the isle. It's a special game.

                            I've cried really hard to the track "Confronting Myself" from Celeste, which counts as "because of a video game" even though I wasn't playing it at the time.

                            ::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
                            I was off my SSRI meds at the time, and it seriously broke me up listening to how the characters' instruments and motifs and the buildup and release of tension in the track mirror the kind of dialogue they're in when it plays. It's also a climactic scene with a lot of mental health allegory going on at the same time, which really adds to the emotions here.
                            :::

                            I'm crying again now thanks

                              (Some) videogames are just another way to consume stories. their interactive nature makes your imput as a player matter, and if the story is good, (like with any other medium) you get invested in the characters, the world and what happens to those as you progress through the story.

                                Yeah, I once walked into a Gamestop and saw how expensive new games have gotten...

                                Joking aside:

                                • Journey

                                • To the Moon

                                • Spiritfarer

                                • Ori and the Will of the Wisps

                                All good games, I can't recommend them enough.

                                    Usually for the same reasons you'd get entangled in a movie or book? Games are allowed to be emotionally complex just the same as any other form of media, and the interactive aspect gives them some extra leverage for it that others lack.
