Have you ever cried because of a video game?
-
Thomas was Alone. Cried over quadrilaterals.
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.

I've cried really hard to the track "Confronting Myself" from Celeste, which counts as "because of a video game" even though I wasn't playing it at the time.
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
I was off my SSRI meds at the time, and it seriously broke me up listening to how the characters' instruments and motifs and the buildup and release of tension in the track mirror the kind of dialogue they're in when it plays. It's also a climactic scene with a lot of mental health allegory going on at the same time, which really adds to the emotions here.
:::I'm crying again now thanks
Celeste is beautiful. I also cried during the game

Many times.
Nier Automata
RDR2
Danganronpa 2
Just to name a few where I really ugly cried. -
Some
Ok. Maybe some.
And still I'd rather invest my emotions into real life than in a means of killing time.
Wow. You are very cool and your contribution to this thread is invaluable.

When I was a child I was very moved by the sequence in Homeworld where they returned to Kharak. Everything was burning and Adagio for Strings playing.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons, in the early months of the pandemic, when the villagers threw me a surprise birthday party. I was living alone at the time and missed my real friends so much.

No, but Persona 3 came close.
BEWARE, CONTEXTUAL SPOILERS AFTER THIS
I mean, it's a very Jesus-inspired story (I wasn't religious at the time but having a self-sacrificial nature is always touching), starring a dude who is less 'social butterfly everyone knows and loves' and more 'asocial newcomer who feels somewhat annoyed with life/slightly suicidal' and then there's friendship and he finds the value of life. Bretty gud, 10/10, would definitely recommend the remake that came out recently.

Final Fantasy VII, the original one. Stopped playing it for a couple months.

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
