I just cried for the first time with a game.

Oh shit, that's a good one. I think that might be the only time I've gotten teary-eyed.

I feel that the main story wasn't as good as some of those dreams, those dreams were really awesome, I think it's a missed opportunity, imagine if they let the players actually visit those towns from the dreams, it would make the npcs a lot more interesting because they might be related to those characters in the dreams.
 
I basically never see this mentioned in any "Games can be sad" threads, so am I seriously the only one who got serious throatlumps when (Uncharted 2)
Flynn took out a grenade and everyone ran for cover, but clearly nothing's gonna happen because this is a happy funtime story but oh wait Elena is almost dead now. Game then giving you a gun and immediately putting you in charge of the escape effort with Elena and Chloe limping behind you was the best part of that damn game.
 
The ending of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 got the most tears out of me. That scene was so damn sad. It's part of the reason why I want HL3 so bad. I want to know what happens next.

Mass Effect 3 also got me a little teary eyed. Watching
Thane and Anderson
die got to me.
 
Snake had a hard life...
- MGS4 spoiler I guess though not really. They almost got me there almost!
And obviously the debriefing and salute from MGS3.

that's me whenever i reach the ending of a mainline Suikoden.
 
MGS3 and ME3
Anderson, that was a manly death
However, these aren't tears, these are just emotions. I don't think any game has come close to bringing tears.

Xenosaga: Episode III is one of the very few games where tears actually came out during a couple scenes. And Hepatica is one of the most beautiful videogame tracks ever (it plays during a certain battle).
 
I've experienced most of the moments talked about in this thread but none of them have made me cry.

Some parts of SOTC hit me, like I really appreciated the beauty of the game and its story telling but no tears.

RPGs probably make me feel the most emotion but none have caused tears. I look forward to the day a game does make me cry though!

Edit: Unwound Future was close! Man what an ending. Great stuff.
 
MGS4 - you know which scene..

I didn't cry, but I noticed my eyes getting wet - something I never had before. Then again, this is one of my most beloved franchises. Superb, fuck 'them haters.
 
And I'm not even ashamed. I was playing Skyrim, and I saw some pictures in the PC screenshot thread, and this game seemed to look great with the ENB mod. I thought to myself it looked great, so I went searching and found out this sweet looking mod, ENB hollywood. Installed it, like my games to look like movies so, I even added the letterbox.

I was not ready for it. Started walking around thinking to myself that it looked great, but few ft ahead I reached this beautiful place with two big mammoths and they are shaking the ground, and the orchestral music is kicking my heart's ass and the it looks so beautiful and the sun light...

Couldn't help it. I was in awe, grown man tears coming down my face.

What about you? Have you ever had a moment like that?

Nice post. The devs would be proud to hear that. It's a truly beautiful game on places. It's one of the few games I've got where it is enough just to wander around and admire the view.

Actually you can't really say "you know which scene" from MGS4 'cuz there were so many parts in MGS4 that made me emotional. Microwave? Big boss? Eva? Meeting up with Meryl? Intro? Outro? Shadow Moses?

when she [SPOILER] died due to namatame[/SPOILER]
I ended up getting the bad ending in my first play-r.[/QUOTE]

YES. I dunno if that was the first time but is definitely the one that always springs to my mind.

EDIT: Okay, reading through the thread has reminded me of others where I came close.

FF7:CC - The ending. You know what to expect if you played FF7 but man, the music and the memory wheel thing and everything. Plus I really grew to like the guy thanks to the game.
ME3 - Certain deaths. Spoiler [spoiler]"Had to be me. Someone else might've gotten it wrong.[/spoiler]
 
OP, I advise you to play Skyrim with a Sony CMZ-T1 , combined with head-tracking.

You would cry for days. DAYS.

I had cases of the lump in BG&E, SotC and Skyrim/Oblivion just by being in the world and hearing the majesty of the music combined with the beautiful scenery.
 
For real OP? That's worse than the guy crying at a double rainbow

I was wondering when the INTERNET TOUGHGUYS were going to start shitting up this thread. Every fucking time someone starts a thread, these assholes have to pop in and remind everyone how much of a badass they are and how pathetic everyone else is.

Anyways, I read about what happens to Aerith in FF7 from the strategy guide I purchased, but when it happened when I finally played the game it still hit me hard. I didn't exactly cry, but it really struck my heartstrings. The music in FF7 was so great, and really added so much more to the moment.
 
I was in middle school when I beat Final Fantasy IX for the first time, and I cried during the part when
Zidane more or less sacrifices himself in the end."

Not really sure when it's not really required to use spoilers, the game is two generations old, but who knows who I'll piss off.

EDIT: Oh, also. Totally cried during OoT's ending.
 
I have to admit that no game has been able to make me teary eyed, while many movies have. That is not to say games need to make me cry to be good as a medium, music while has not made me teary eyed, it has made me feel a wider range of emotions than the games I have played thus far since each peace can be enjoyed at bite size and they all vary greatly in terms of what emotions they convey. I think games definitely has the potential to make me teary-eyed or even cry, but it has not done so yet. Journey and SOTC made me feel things, but not bring me to tears. I am certain I will cry one day, and when I do it will be much more intense than even a film because immersion is getting deeper with games with each generation of new technology.
 
I'm pretty sure some of the Lost Odyssey's written stories made me cry as did Nier.

I must've cried after playing Final Fantasy VIII also, but for all the wrong reasons.
 
The Aerith thing in FF7 never really got me. I used her as a healer too but I dunno. I cared much more about Tifa and Barrett than her.
 
CTRL+F Professor Layton
CTRL+F Unwound Future

...

**disappointed**

Haha I did the same thing

Seriously the ending of Unwound Future made me tear up :(

The other ending that hit me was the ending of Crisis Core,
Even though I knew Zack would die I just didn't expect to become so attached to his character
 
Happened a ton of times, especially with those god damned JRPGS.

Admit it, you got to date Barret and not Aeris in Gold Saucer.
 
When I came home from school to discover my sister (or someone, I don't know) accidentally deleted my Donkey Kong Country save file.

Ha, I did that with my brother. Ooooops!

Nier:

I cried reading the
Kaine's back story in scenario B

Edit: I also cried when
Fyra dies
, fuck
I liked her and the king
a lot.

It's even worse when you read
Fyra's backstory short story in the Grimoire Nier book. She suffered hideous burns on her face as an infant that completely disfigured her, and her parents abandoned her at Facade's doorstep. The prince/king was the only one who played with her, which is why she fell in love with him.



The only game that's come even close was Mother 3.

"You must be so tired."
