Games that legitimately made you cry

Vipera · Nov 9, 2014

The ending of every Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game. But I agree with the others: Explorers of Sky was the worst/best. Especially the stuff in the special episodes (the last one in particular. Terrible dungeon crawling filler, but a story that forced my brain to see the ending multiple times).
As for the last Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game, it takes the cake for having made me feel bad and guilty like nothing else in any other game.

Unlike the other games, this one almost fools you that you will never come back. And I fell for that. Anyway, you do one last mission where your partner asks yourself if you want to come back. I was curious and thought it was a one-way decision like in every pokémon game (you know, where if you press "no" the game forces you to go "yes"). But no, they ACCEPT my no, they accept my wish to not come back. And the game ends with some words on a black background, that ends with "No regrets.". FUCK OFF YES REGRETS ;OOO; I'M SORRY OSHAWOTT I DIDN'T MEAN IT I'M COMING BACK I SWEAR! I don't know why, but it truly made me feel terrible. I'm not doing this for any other game again. If I want to know what it does, I'll go to YouTube or something ._.

By the way I did the mission again and pressed Yes and I got reunited and everyone was happy <3

TL;DR New Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, please. I want my feels to be shredded again like you've been doing since almost a decade.

Have to agree with all the talk about Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Time/Darkness/Sky
That game hit every chord of feels within me, everything was done right.
I'm not sure any pokemon game can ever hit feels the way those ones did.

oh wait

None because I'm an adult.

Reploid · Nov 9, 2014

None, because I'm heterosexual male. But 'Destiny of a Man' by Mikhail Sholokhov almost did. Read the books, kiddos.

Lucifer666 · Nov 9, 2014

"heterosexual male" lol as if that's relevant, even the manliest of men cry.

anyway to answer the question um i definitely second whoever said Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, god I hate that ending

Diabolical Box was pretty sad too actually

otherwise nah I haven't really cried because of the story of a game (yet?)

Tiffani · Nov 9, 2014

Red Dead Redemption, Lost Odyssey, The Walking Dead, Professor Layton and The Unwound Future, The Last of Us, several Final Fantasy games, Grandia 2, Skies of Arcadia, Tales of Symphonia, etc.
Yeah, I've cried a lot because of games.

Games tend not to have terribly moving stories, terribly new stories or terribly engaging characters on an emotional level, though I seldom struggle to lose myself in a game I do not attach to characters basically ever and when the emotion chip does short circuit itself into action there is also the "it is not real, and if it is based on something real then there is bugger all I can do about it".

I can see being emotional at pokemon though, the amount of disgust and self loathing that reaching the end of one of those would bring... actually there might be some tears.

I didn't cry at the end of To The Moon. I just got something in my eye.

Well that's it then - it just went straight to my "must play" list.

The endings to the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, all of them, but Explorers of Sky, Darkness, and Time takes the cake.

I cried for a 20 minutes after this, it didn't help that I named my main after myself and the partner after my boyfriend.

You literally made me cry just watching it again. And I felt like such a whiny kid when I cried about it the first time. It's like, this game wasn't even that fun, and my partner was just this annoying character the whole time, and why am I so sad?! And the music just fits so perfectly. And the way it presents those flashbacks of everything you did makes having played the entire game worth it just to have seen this ending and to realize that you cared so much about that stupid hunk of pixels that was your partner.

Super.Nova · Nov 9, 2014

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward.
Never cried in my life more than during that game.

Also, the obvious Zack death {:'(

You know what makes it sadder? Watching your partner walk alone, trying so hard to be strong, then just fucking credit rolls. Damn that game knew how to feels.
I've never been so moved by a game's ending before. Although Gates to Infinity got to me as well, like the thought that everyone was just going to forget about you and you just had to leave. Then continuing and the character was just your partner, who would just wake up alone staring at an empty spot next to him/her. So...many...feels.

I haven't finished Gates to Infinity. And I bought it on launch day. :\ I guess I was expecting a leap in story like how Explorers had such an amazing leap over Rescue Team in terms of emotional power. But the story just felt dumbed down. I don't know, I recently fell into a pretty cool plot twist and maybe it gets better from here, who knows, but I doubt any game will make me as sad as To the Moon and Explorers of Sky.
