    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.

                        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.

                        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:
                          'Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong'

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

                                Yes, once after accidentally wiping my Donkey Kong 64 save when I was like 5 and then during Horizon Zero Dawn, I think during RDR2, Life is strange and probably some others. Btw I also made plenty of people cry during the N64 split screen days so that part evens out nicely.

                                  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.

                                  What touched you about Journey? I finished the games about 3 times and honestly can't recall that much about it but the art/graphic design being top notch.

                                  Regarding OP's question I also don't recall a game that has made me cry yet, but I wouldn't say I am a senseless being lol, some anime scenes get me from time to time... Is just that with games it feels different.

                                    Agreed on this. There are at least four separate moments of incredible reveals, and so many little details work towards creating a powerful atmosphere. It's amazing

                                    I distinctly remember looking around the seemingly abandoned ring station, after recovering from how cool it was to see the whole thing arcing up above me, and realising how all of the furniture was way too big for me. It's such a trivial thing but it did a lot to make me feel like I really, really did not belong here

                                      Not quite the same thing, but the song Corridors of Time have gotten me misty eyed from the nostalgia alone.

                                        Destiny 2 - RIP CAYDE 6

                                        He was such a likable character by the community that Bungie actually brought him back... somehow, as some sort of reincarnated-ghost-person-thing

                                          I rented it and played it through in one or two sittings. I remember finding it a very moving and maybe even significant experience, but I'll be damned if I know why anymore. I think I might enjoy playing it through on the high difficulty (I played on the "musical idiot" difficulty) now that I have more skill playing by ear and stuff, might go back.
