Rosalina’s story is incredibly sad. Mine was the end of Undertale (when you get to the house). The music in both was a huge contributor to the sadness.
FFXIV, over and over. The kind of nobility and self sacrifice displayed in that story has set me crying several times. Honestly, I can feel it a little bit just thinking of some of those moments, but I try to smile through it.
There’s three big moments in the game that I think got it for me; Amaurot, Close in the Distance, and The Dead Ends. But there’s plenty to feel more invested in, especially with all the side quests that focus on so many personal endearing struggles. Heck, even the Dark Knight job storyline has a great emotional payoff to it.
I can think of three in Shadowbringers alone, Amaurot, the conversation against the rock in upper Kholusia, and that one part right near the end, the one that requires channeling a large amount of environmental power.
(Trying to avoid spoilers while being unambiguous)
Oh goddess and the role quests, particularly the healer one.
Shadowbringers was just so good. The parts that really get me were in 5.3 and just… everything. Probably the best patch the game ever had. One quest in particular left me a blubbering mess (returning a certain crystal), even thinking about it now chokes me up. The voice acting is also just top notch the whole expansion.
Endwalker also had several moments that got me and basically the entire last zone (and the music. Omg).
The end of Red Dead Redemption. Spoilers for a game that's over a decade old, but John's death was a brutal cruelty that stayed with me for a long, long time.
The sequel was even more brutal. I cried like crazy at the end of both games. Like full on sobbing into a paper towel bc tissues weren’t going to cut it crying.
When I was in the final mission of chapter 6, on my first playthrough, my wife came in to tell me it was time to put the kids to bed. She took one look at my face and the tears rolling down it and put the kids to bed without me.
After everything you do in the game to get Abigail and Jack back, and to see John get to be happy and enjoy his ranch in the final act to it being tragically cut short. I know a lot of people don’t like playing as John in the RDR2 epilogue but I felt like it gave me needed closure from Red Dead Redemption
When my husband was playing this through for the first time I was watching him play and guessed what was happening when John was getting ready to propose to Abigail. We both watched that lovely cutscene teary eyed. It really reminded us of our engagement.
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.
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
I don’t think I ever cried playing a video game, but I can think of three moments that almost got me. Spoilers, obviously.
Metal Gear Solid 3. Hearing how much The Boss had to sacrifice for a country that will forever hate her and remember her as a traitor.
Fighting the Hollow Knight and at some point it starts stabbing itself. The music changes from this epic battle theme to a tragic lonely little violin. It can barely even stand, yet is still forced to keep attacking. At this point it changes from a battle to assisted suicide.
Doki Doki Literature Club. Living with depression myself, I knew exactly how Sayori felt. I’m not even talking about THAT scene, but the day before.
DDLC fucked with me hard core... first time I played it and got to "that" part, I cold killed my pc and sat in the shower in the fetal position until I ran out of hot water.
I’m a pretty emotional dude. I tear up at a lot of things, happy and sad. But, there are very few things in this life that have caused me to totally break down, ugly crying. The ending to “To the Moon” is one of them. Too visceral a reminder of saying goodbye to people I’ve loved very much.
