Yep. I play FFXIV and I’m on estrogen. I cry basically every major patch cycle.
As annoying as she was, Fi from Skyward Sword almost made me cry at the end of the game. Well, a couple of tears.
Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC. One last fun ride with a bunch of friends before the final reckoning.
For added gut punch: romance Thane.
As someone who has had the chance to play through Xenoblade Chronicles 1 through 3, several times in 3 specifically I was very emotional.
3 is a game that’s emotional on its own, and throughout its story there are several times where it hits like a truck.
But when you know about all three games, some things just hit a little harder, especially during that DLC.
There’s definitely a reason I have Mio and Noah Amiibo on my desk right now.
Honestly, XC3 is probably the best RPG of that generation (of course that’s on opinion. But it’s a correct one 😄)
“Last day of June” is very emotional. Didn’t cry but I was close.
A couple of times, yes. I think the one I cried the most was the opera scene in Final Fantasy VI, it was just one of the most magnificent scenes in gaming.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a “sad emotion” at all playing a game… I rarely have any emotion besides happy or angry playing games lol.
Journey’s ending hit me pretty hard: the score’s composer, Austin Wintory, did such a great job channeling emotions into the game narrative
Brother’s got me ugly crying
Devil May Cry back in 2001, and hellblade in 2017. There weee probably others that I had a response to, but those both had tears falling.
Two that I can remember.
- To The Moon
- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Excellent storytelling transcends the medium, but it’s a shame that there are so few games that have managed to tug at my heartstrings.
Edit: I am reading the comments and making a list. Sometimes a good cry is the catharsis an aching soul needs.
Malenia got me damn close to.
Rotussy.
Let me solo her
Gears of War 3 - Dom
Recently.
The “Unlost World” storyline in Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail is rough if you have lost a loved one recently.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Darkness/Time/Sky
Mmm, great memories of Blue Rescue team.
I’ve been meaning to play the others, but DS emulation is kind of subpar by design.
Is it? I thought DS emulators are pretty good. I’ve seen a few Streamers stream the Pokémon DS games without issues. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon also doesn’t make much use of the touch screen iirc
It works well, but using 2 screens on one monitor will always be a lesser experience.
