    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.

          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.

                Black Flag hit far harder than a Ubisoft game had any right to. The entire fucking credits scene... And you just know they are absolutely going to butcher a remaster and bolt on a bunch of always online micro transaction slop.

                    (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.

                    Some

                    Ok. Maybe some.

                    And still I'd rather invest my emotions into real life than in a means of killing time.

                        I definitely have, but can't remember which off the top of my head. Looking at other comments, Ori and Stray are likely on the list. But I cry at movies too (off the top of my head Artificial Intelligence, The Bicentennial Man, Cloud Atlas, The Other Sister) and even books (bawled at Gloriously Bright's story in Xenocide).

                              FFX. When Titus and Luna were playing/swimming in the lagoon/lake/whatever and being happy. If memory serves correctly, at that point in the game, it was very clear that Luna was going to be sacrificed to keep Sin from destroying the world, and she had accepted that as her duty like the other summoners before her.

                                  Outer Wilds. Endings of both the main game and the DLC can still get me to tear up a bit. I saw a post somewhere, don't remember, that said something along the lines of "Listening to the Outer Wilds OST is the only way I feel my feelings any more." It's about like that.

                                    Oh yes absolutely, and the few people who have played these will likely agree:

                                          Played through Before Your Eyes and it absolutely broke me. I'd 1000% recommend using a camera and going in blind. Very emotional experience.
