      (Some) videogames are just another way to consume stories. their interactive nature makes your imput as a player matter, and if the story is good, (like with any other medium) you get invested in the characters, the world and what happens to those as you progress through the story.

      Some

      Ok. Maybe some.

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

        • 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

          I definitely have, but can't remember which off the top of my head. Looking at other comments, Ori and Stray are likely on the list. But I cry at movies too (off the top of my head Artificial Intelligence, The Bicentennial Man, Cloud Atlas, The Other Sister) and even books (bawled at Gloriously Bright's story in Xenocide).

                FFX. When Titus and Luna were playing/swimming in the lagoon/lake/whatever and being happy. If memory serves correctly, at that point in the game, it was very clear that Luna was going to be sacrificed to keep Sin from destroying the world, and she had accepted that as her duty like the other summoners before her.

                    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.

                      Oh yes absolutely, and the few people who have played these will likely agree:

                      • What Remains of Edith Finch - Lewis and the finale always get me

                      • Kentucky Route Zero - The expensive whiskey and "Then we buried the horses"

                            Played through Before Your Eyes and it absolutely broke me. I'd 1000% recommend using a camera and going in blind. Very emotional experience.

                              • 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

                              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_ZH2qqlOqs

                              • 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.

                              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF68EpmCxBI

                              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

                                  In life is strange 2 there's a scene where you have a dialogue option to come out of the closet to your dad. It was such a a personal experience I related to and the exchange felt authentic.

                                      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.

                                        This game destroyed me.

                                        It wrenched my soul from its mortal prison and threw it on the ground to pound with a mallet like a fucking Gallagher watermelon

                                          Oh gosh, it's been so long since I played, but I remember doing the same.

                                          To be honest, there were a ton of PS3 games that wrecked me. Papa y Yo, Brothers, Journey.
