Have you ever cried because of a video game?
-
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
Signalis is absolutely excellent

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.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
An absolute emotional rollercoaster start to end.
33/33 would recommend
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.

- RDR2 of course: I had tears streaming down my face when Arthur said "I guess, I guess I'm afraid." Such an incredible performance from Roger Clark

- The Witcher 3: A few times, it's just a really good set of storytelling and cinematics all around, and I absolutely love games where your choices determine the outcomes

- Cyberpunk 2077: When a close friend died, when V had to make a major decision at the end of the game, and when V has to make a decision to choose an ending in Phantom Liberty.

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.

The only game I have sat still as the credits rolled absolutely dumbfounded for at least 30 minutes

RDR2 almost did that to me at the end

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

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
