Have you ever cried because of a video game?
-
Final Fantasy VII, the original one. Stopped playing it for a couple months.
Videogame's "Rosebud" moment. đ„ș

My partner is chronically ill and Karlach's ending in BG3 made me sob because I was romancing her and it hit very close to home
Absolutely same here, although I'm the chronically I'll one

The first one I remember crying from (because the game itself and not just out of frustration anyway) was when Arith dies in (the original) Final Fantasy 7.
Modern games, with more sophisticated stories and actual acting tend to elicit emotional responses more than when I was a kid; though some of the epic CRPGs still hold up because they were just better written.

The last encounter with Alexander the Warrior Jar in Elden Ring made me cry. What a brave jar and a good friend.
I think I might've cried for other reasons too when playing Elden Ring. :')

Twice. Once at the end of Final Fantasy IX, realising who was monologuing the ending at what that meant.
Second one was at the end of What Remains of Edith Finch, pretty much for exactly the same reasons.
-
Yes once, and it was at the ending of "Brothers: A tale of two sons".
I bawled my eyes out.Small game, but absolutely recommend for anyone that wants to clear out their tear canals.
Great game with very emotional storytelling.
For those that remember the late TotalBiscuit, it was his favourite game.

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.
Yes! I have to try the DLC, I've been afraid of it not living up to the main game's whole thing

Literally yesterday I started playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and just the prologue hit me.
-
The end of Karlach's story in Baldurs Gate 3
Expedition 33 had multiple moments for me, still enjoyed it a lot

Final Fantasy 14.
- A few times during A Realm Reborn (they began early with ruthlessly killing characters)
- About twice during Heavensward and Stormblood
- Several times during Endwalker

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

Journey
-
To the Moon
-
Spiritfarer

Ori and the Will of the Wisps
All good games, I can't recommend them enough.
To the moon is like a kick right in the feels.
Had me and my wife in bits at the ending. -

Nier anything
I don't think video games are silly thingsThe final ending in Automata had me bawling. Genuine art, just beautiful and the music really brings it home.
One of my best gaming experiences. -

That Dragon Cancer made me fucking weep.
Clair Obscur, God of War 2018, What Remains of Edith Finch, The Last of Us, Bastion, Halo: Reach, Firewatch, Celeste, Telltale's The Walking Dead, FFXV, Baldur's Gate 3, Shadow of the Colossus, and more, all made me tear up.
Can you tell I'm quite emotional about video games?

God ⊠Spiritfarer. What an amazing experience. I didnât cry but quite a few times I had to put down the controller and just stare out the window. Itâs not sad but it is so sad. Itâs so wistful and god just loved that game.

Man that's a lot of crying during video games. "Honey are you alright? I heard you crying again?"
"This game fucking rocks!!!!"

The most recent and the most tears producing video game I played was The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood when you meet the trans woman and she transforms into her witch-self

I cried over darksouls when I first played it at 12. These were tears of frustration of course. I also cried after finishing hollowknight. Not because it was sad but because it was over.

Ooh can you tell me a bit more about spiritfarer? I bought it excitedly a few months ago but stuff happened and I didn't play it for a long time. And now I find it kinda hard to get back to it. Also I seen to be stuck with some basic early missions
