Final Fantasy IX. Just… everything to do with Vivi and Quina. Those to characters cemented IX as my favorite in the series after initially writing it off as inferior to VII and VIII. While those games have some great narratives, Vivi and Quina both do such a great job of exploring what it is to be human, in their own beautiful and heart rending ways.
The entire experience of Outer Wilds.
So many parts of Persona 3, 4, and 5, but especially 4.
Here’s a weird one: Starflight on Genesis. Not so much because of the story or content, but because I played this game so much with a friend of mine in middle school, and had all but forgotten about it. I was playing through some old Genesis games a month or so ago, and started this game up. As soon as the title screen came up, a flood of memories washed over me and took me right back to 1992. Bawled like a kid for about ten minutes as I realized I had an awesome friend that I had basically completely forgotten about.
Bit of an odd one, but the “Jump Up, Superstar” sequence from Mario Odyssey. It was just a crash of nostalgia combined with the unapologetic celebration of Mario games in general and a heap of affirmation that you, the player, are awesome. It was so beautiful that I couldn’t help it.
And other givens like the endings to Mother 3 and Undertale.
There are few games that I wish I could selectively erase my memory of, this is one of them. Just so I could play it again brand new. Love that game so much
I am on vacation in the UK so I decided to play something very British and started up Hogwarts Legacy. Runs well on the ROG Ally (with everything on low) and it’s been pretty fun!
I would suggest Vampyr or Wolfenstein: New Order as games set in the UK that would probably run great on an Ally with the bonus that they don’t support a TERF
Man. The moment in there where you have to actually do the digging… Still haunts me. It’d be a cutscene in any other game, but the impact of the change in the control scheme and everything in that moment. Brutal.
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).
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.
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.
