I don't get too emotional at games, but I do at music.... and even though I was laughing my ass off with joy at Metal Gear Solid 2, I cried at the ending because I just enjoyed it so much and the music hit me in the feels.
Other than that... not really. I had the most emotional investment in a game with the Mass Effect series, but by the end of 3, I was kinda checked-out when everyone was getting offed. I was already over it.
RDR2 almost did that to me at the end
Maybe I’m playing the wrong games… I’m not really a fan of game story lines and cutscenes because they get in the way of actually playing the game. I don’t emotionally engage other than chuckling at GlaDOS.
I have sensitive eyes. Any modern AAA graphics makes them go red instantly and my eyes start leaking within 30 minutes.
"Last day of June" is very emotional. Didn't cry but I was close.
I don't think I've ever cried because of a game in the sense that the game itself made me cry, but the memories attached to some have.
I definitely have, but can't remember which off the top of my head. Looking at other comments, Ori and Stray are likely on the list. But I cry at movies too (off the top of my head Artificial Intelligence, The Bicentennial Man, Cloud Atlas, The Other Sister) and even books (bawled at Gloriously Bright's story in Xenocide).
i remember crying reading xenocide too!
The most recent and the most tears producing video game I played was The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood when you meet the trans woman and she transforms into her witch-self 😭
Recently.
The "Unlost World" storyline in Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail is rough if you have lost a loved one recently.
lol no.
It's okay to have feelings, y'know. You don't need to supress them.
