Has a game ever made you cry?

Walking Dead Episode 5

and... I cried. Quite a bit actually, which is weird because I never cry, let alone from a video game. They really know how to get to your emotions. Everything about it was sad... So my question to you is have you ever cried from a scene in a video game?

[Qurbalicious]

I might of had shed some tears while playing Uncharted 3.

I thought Sully died at the end of the game!

[Artithan]

I almost came to a tear in Uncharted 2 at the end.

I thought Elena died at the end. THAT almost did it.

[themute88orl]

There have been a couple characters that have died in some way or another and I haven't ever crried. I just say "Damn. That sucks." and honestly feel like a lost somebody a little bit.

[Deth]

I cried at the part where Sniper Wolf is put out of her misery in Metal Gear Solid back in the day.

[The Secret Society]

Devil May Cry, Bawled like a baby

[Pancake Model]

I think my eyes got a little watery at the end of Red Dead Redemption.

[Faust]

I cried for T.K. Baha. :'(

But seriously, The Uncharted games got me close a few times, and the end of Red Dead: Redemption.

[cengizbobengiz]

Forgot about Red Dead. That put a lump in my throat. You will always be remembered John (not much of a spoiler since the game is kind of old by this point).

We've done this thread before and I'll say what I said then... not a chance.

Video games lack the emotionally evocative power of film. I can appreciate the stories and have empathy for the characters, but it's far too unrealistic for me to connect to any real-life experience, which is necessary for me to become emotionally invested.

I'm also acutely aware that video game characters are only bits and pixels and will die in countless ways before I even get to a climax in a storyline, so yet another death is emotionally redundant.

same game lol

[great_daze_tazer]

Todays games don't really tug on my hearts strings but when I was 10 or 11 Lufia II Rise of the Sinistrals made me cry at the end when Maxim & Selan both died to save the world leaving behind a newborn baby, meanwhile the babysitter is saying not to cry to baby Jeros, that his mother & father would be home shortly. Wrong

But it is still a spoiler mate lol there is still a tiny percentage of people that have never played the game. Weird I know but true nether the less.

[Doctor_Doom]

Only game that came close was MGS4.

[APriceless]

No, not even close. Only once did a game touch my emotions. It angered me when one of my character's friends died. I don't even remember the guy's name, but I just remember being like, "Oh, ."

[Kupo]

If I had to think of something recently... would probably be Luna's ending in Virtue's Last Reward. Pulled on my heartstrings a bit, not enough to cry, but close enough.

[jarethgeason]

Never, i try not to cry, even though in many games i have been close to, i just make sure told how my emotions in but i do think in the future a game will make me cry

Cry during a video game? More than I'd like to admit. I'll take a different route than most people here and say that a game gets to me more than any movie. Both Infamous 1 & 2 in particular did that for me, as did one of the endings in Dragon Age Origins...

Ultimate Sacrifice ending as a Human Noble. The funeral scene is beautiful.

[ant1th3s1s]

ET and Harry and the Hendersons when I was a kid...sure.
Man on Fire...lumpy throat.
Into the Wild...a couple of tears and a tonne of blinking them back.
Marley & Me...I couldn't watch the ending for fearing of blubbering like a schoolgirl.
Any game ever...not even close.

GDT's story about going to Dreamworld with his kids evoked more emotion and they were simply words on a page. But they did so because I could relate and put myself in the same picture.

With games, I don't see myself as either the character or as interchangeable with the character, ergo, there's very little connection with the medium.

The only game to get me to care about the characters is the Mass Effect trilogy. I felt somewhat sad at the end of ME3, but I also felt relief and closure that the story was now complete. I really didn't care how it ended nor did I care to see the alternate endings.
