      TF2, when I get repeatedly owned by the same enemy. Especially if they're a soldier with love heart cosmetics.

        If a character dies and I liked them enough to feel sad then I usually just quit the game. Theres no point to play beyond that. Like cyberpunk 2077 I really liked Jackie and when he died I just quit half an hour later. I've picked up the game a few times since but its really not the same without my homie.

            How comes no one mentioned plague tale (both games) ?
            I don't know how good the English voice acting is, but in French it was really poignant.

                  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

                    Honkai: Star Rail has made me ugly cry twice in the last two story patches. I didn't expect it, but the story of the Flamechase has been super emotional for me. "You shall walk with greed and die over petty change".

                      I have sensitive eyes. Any modern AAA graphics makes them go red instantly and my eyes start leaking within 30 minutes.

                        Just finished the main quest last night. My head is still spinning. Best story driven game I've played in some time if not all time for me. They really did a great job everywhere.

                          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.

                            There are certainly more games I probably have shed a tear or two or many playing, but those are the ones that immediately fill me with emotion looking back

                            Also all of these are spoilers lol, so don't watch them if you haven't played the games, but thankfully, none of them are recent releases

                            Arthur Morgan is such an exceptional character. Everything about him, the writing, the voice and performance actor, the choices, the character development, all his different relationships

                            Absolute masterpiece of a game.

                                    Arthur is by far my favorite video character of all time.

                                    V as voiced by Cherami Leigh is probably second for me. Playing in first person only, where you never see V’s face except when looking in a mirror, creates another layer of making decisions as you embody the character through the playthroughs, with pretty much every voice line chosen by you, and then seeing the outcomes of your choices (similar to RDR2) is what makes open world story-driven RPGs so excellent
