    The ending of earthbound. I was playing it without a guide and hit "pray" in desperation, and what happened surprised me. It's a little melodramatic but any sort of 11th hour save by people who care usually gets me.

      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.

      “Had to be me. Someone else might've gotten it wrong”

      Shit, it was even hard to simply copy-paste this.

        Yes, multiple times

        Most recently it was "In stars and time"

          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.

          I had to put down the controller and just sob for a while. It was such a moving experience.

            Some

            Ok. Maybe some.

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

              I love TLOU 1.

              I am curious what part made you cry? Parts made me anxious and parts made me very relieved. None made me cry.

                Have never cried because of a video game,

                I was absolutely stunned and amazed when Ted Faro revealed what Zero Dawn really was in Horizon Zero Dawn.

                      Yes, lots of them and for varying reasons.

                      Dead Island's cinematic trailer will tug at the heart strings. Wanted to mention this since many may have missed it now that it's aged a bit.

                      Just rewatched it, still hits me. The footage at the end is what really knocks the wind out.

                                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?

                                Finally someone mentions Bastion! I just love that game. The ending where you pick him up... was like chills and crying and more chills.

                                    The boss fight in the dinner. This was traumatic to me. The violence in this scene feels much to real to be in a video game, I was not prepared.

                                      Only once, season 1, the last episode of telltales walking dead, lee and clems last time seeing each other. Brutal

                                      And got me really fucking close:

                                        Do yo mean the boss fight in the burning restaurant where you play Ellie and fight David?

                                          I haven't played it since '91, but your reference triggered the memory. (Yes, I made an account just for this comment.)
