For me, it was Princess Rosalina’s backstory in Super Mario Galaxy.

Fallout: New Vegas.
At the end of Boone’s companion quest, we’re watching the sunrise, having barely survived the night. He confesses what really happened to his wife. Nat King Cole comes on the radio with “Love Me.” I was a mess.
Shard@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oh damn son. You brought back some painful memories. Imagine tracking down a loved one and finding them but finding out the only thing you can do for them is end their suffering.
Barricky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Not going to spoil anything, but times in both Shadowbringers and Endwalker got me bad.
Louisoix@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Ah shit I’m still traumatized and depressed
Allectus@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Apollo 11 VR. I would be amazed if it’s a common response as most folks would probably just think of it as a very boring simulated rollercoaster. For me it produced an overwhelming feeling of awe as I reflected on humanity’s path to that point and the enormity of lifting off from our little blue pearl.

FFX ending. Since VII has been mentioned a few times. But after 100 hours on X. That ending got me good.
WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Stray ending

Damn near everything in Nier Gestalt/Replicant. That game wrecks me every time I play it.

I was crying so hard a contact popped out and I had to finish the game half blind!

Mass Effect 3: “Leaving Earth”
EtherWhack@lemmy.world 11 months ago
More of a playable story, but the entirety of Dear Esther is a bit heart wrenching.
!You basically play as a spirit who died on a long abandoned island exploring their memories searching for their raison d’etre before finally joining up their long passed friends and moving on.!<
RyruGrr@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This game was memorable and phenomenal. However, I don’t think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if I’d known the massive spoiler in your comment. It looks like you tagged it or something, but it’s still showing up in plain text on lemmy.
Dear Esther stuck with me in a profound way. It was my gateway to a whole new genre. It broke my brain a little, as i initially tried to explore every nook and cranny of the boundaries of each area. The game grinds to a halt if you play that way. To any newcomer, just stay on or near the paths, and let the story unfold. There are no hidden chests or discoverables - just an incredible narration through memories and questions, and a chilling ost.
EtherWhack@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Removed. Apologies, I didn’t know it was visible, my client listed it as hidden text. I guess lemmy still needs to work on standardizing text formatting :/

I got all fucked up inside when Agro died in Shadow of the Colossus.

There have actually been a lot of games that have made me cry over they years. Some of the ones I remember are: Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, 3 and Peace Walker Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, BBS, Re:Coded and 358/2 days Final Fantasy 10 and (obviously) Crisis Core Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
I’m pretty sure there are more but I can’t really remember any others. I’ve kind of always been very sensitive to emotional things, so a lot of games get at least a tear or two but the ones I mentioned were games that I remember being wrecked after playing.
JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So many tears shed in Final Fantasy X. Hell, the emotion in the cutscene of Yuna’s sending at the village hit by Sin…
Jessvj93@lemmy.world 11 months ago
And the finale aeon sending for me, they finally get to rest in peace now 😭😭
trslim@pawb.social 11 months ago
There are so many seens in Metal Gear that tear me up. MGS1 has my favorite moment, in the bad ending with Otacon and Snake, but Sniper Wolf’s scene is brutal to me too.
DigitalFrank@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Borderlands 2, the ending of the Tiny Tina DLC.
DelvianSeek@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Gods yes. What a brilliant piece of writing that DLC was - simultaneously hilarious and deeply poignant.
DarkThoughts@kbin.social 11 months ago
Pretty much everything in The Last of Us Part 1 & 2.
hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
Last of us 1 initial scene with Joel’s daughter.
DarkThoughts@kbin.social 11 months ago
Part 2 ending, especially after that emotionally hellish ride of both titles.
Ninjasftw@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Titanfall2. Damn I got attached to BT
Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 11 months ago
I almost forgot about this - I was surprised how quickly I got attached to BT in such a short time

Mafia 1. “Mr. Salieri sends his regards”. Need I say more?
janus2@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
I was pretty emotionally stunted and depressed as a teenager and had trouble crying even when I wanted to (it’s a horrible feeling, physically) so Earthbound and Mother 3 were therapeutic
BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 11 months ago
the end of season 1 of the walking dead game. goddamn what a gut punch
Kabutor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Not the end for me but inthat game the scene with the father and the son on the caravan… That was a river
DrPop@lemmy.one 11 months ago
The ending of Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, it was just so cool and and so well done. What a great final boss when compared to Breath of the wild.
Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 11 months ago
Hl2 EP2’s ending
Perroboc@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Brothers. Damn ending making me feel empty…
slazer2au@lemmy.world 11 months ago
ME:3 and the cliff.
Several points in Life is Strange, I have yet to finish that game.
Mirshe@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Legion, the answer to your question? It’s yes.
bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
No spoilers but the ending of Life Is Strange made me cry.
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I tried to install Skyrim and my disc was unreadable
FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 11 months ago
The entire “What became of Edith Finch” game
trslim@pawb.social 11 months ago
Mass effect 3, the last scene with Anderson. I used the better ending mod, and it made it so much better. Anderson was a true friend.
FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 11 months ago
I used that mod too but then regretted it. As sad as it is, the vanilla ending (post patch) is the best it gets and fits the most naturally. Probably an unpopular opinion but I didn’t hate the star child ending (post patch).
nailbar@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
Horizon zero dawn is the game that got me. Getting closer to the end just got me sadder and sadder.
RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Have probably done that over a bunch of games over the years but can’t remember much of them but the one game that immediately comes to mind is spiritfarer. Had so many touching farewells and some of them were too relatable to be not shed a tear. Man Atul left me speechless for days, I still need more hugs.
RyruGrr@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Life is strange. Repeatedly.
Candelestine@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Two games, that I can remember.
One was a particular Journey playthrough, where I happened to match with another really good player. We spent basically the entire game airborne, which if you know Journey mechanics, takes some doing. They drew me a heart at the end, that did it.
Second was my first successful Suzerain run. A morgna wes core.
bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Suzerain was awesome. I need to go back to it. I still haven’t seen most of the endings.
Candelestine@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Hell yea! I’ve been wondering how long it’d be until I ran into someone on Lemmy had played it. lol Yeah it’s pretty good. I’m glad the devs have returned to the project too. I know they wanted to try out other stuff, but in this one subgenre, they’re the fucking kings man. Biggest fish in the whole pond imo. It’s a good spot to be in.
One of the more niche games around, for sure though. lol
