When I was a child I was very moved by the sequence in Homeworld where they returned to Kharak. Everything was burning and Adagio for Strings playing.
RIP Bloodwing. 😭
My brother mained Mordecai in the first game. That part ruined him for days
Absolutely not! I’ve never played The Last Guardian. (Yes)
Trico may not exactly be a dog, but Trico is still a very good dog
Yes, several times. The first one that comes to mind is The Last of Us Part 2.
When Jackie Wells died I sobbed, well more of a break down. My dad had just passed and something about it hit fucking hard.
Kind of weep a bit of joy playing my favorite games at times and still feel the bit of sadness when they are over.
RDR2. RIP Arthur Morgan.
Arthur knew what he signed up for; and I had come to accept what I could see coming at that point… But his horse’s death hit me fucking hard.
When it’s the 8th anti boss blind, you have 11 aces, and you go through all your discards and hands without a 4 of a kind
My partner is chronically ill and Karlach’s ending in BG3 made me sob because I was romancing her and it hit very close to home
Absolutely same here, although I’m the chronically I’ll one
All around me are familiar faces…
As a kid I cried out of frustration while playing Dragon Ball Z Budokai during the Super Saiyan Goku vs 100% Full Power Frieza fight. It was just a massive difficulty spike that I’d constantly struggle with. My mom would make fun of me for it for a long time.
For anything more recent, I did cry in Danganronpa V3 at the end of the fourth trial. It was the only time my favorite character in one of these games died and the reason it happened sent me into a batch of sadness that lasted a few days where I just refused to keep playing the game.
The Witcher 3 is probably the game I have cried the most playing. From the opening cinematic I shed tears because I found it so beautifully made, I cried when Geralt reunited with Ciri, I shed angry tears when I found a particularly gruesome crime scene during a quest.
Tap for spoiler
When Vesemir dies, all the tears
When I thought Ciri died, tears again
The fucking Velen OST makes me cry sometimes.
And I’m only taking about base game here, I haven’t finished any of the DLC’s… Which I know are fantastic so there are still more tears to cry, so… I think I’m gonna go play just now.
No. Why would you ever get so emotionally entangled in a video game?
why do you not?
Usually for the same reasons you’d get entangled in a movie or book? Games are allowed to be emotionally complex just the same as any other form of media, and the interactive aspect gives them some extra leverage for it that others lack.
(Some) videogames are just another way to consume stories. their interactive nature makes your imput as a player matter, and if the story is good, (like with any other medium) you get invested in the characters, the world and what happens to those as you progress through the story.
Some
Ok. Maybe some.
And still I’d rather invest my emotions into real life than in a means of killing time.
Wow. You are very cool and your contribution to this thread is invaluable.
Want my Onlyfans?
People don’t tend to find people who shun artforms as very interesting people
Connecting to characters in media is a great way to connect to your own feelings. It sounds like you’re treating it like it takes away from reality somehow, but all media is a reflection of reality. People have a reaction to it because it connects to something in their life. If you haven’t found things that resonate with you that’s cool, but looking down on others for being emotionally open is unnecessary.
Wuthering waves had me tear up a few times actually. They have some really good stories around their characters, tie that in with some of the best music I’ve heard in a game and it just plays with your emotions.
I’m sure anyone who has played it knows the encore story lol
I’m almost 40 years old and have been playing games my entire life, like way too much, and I can’t believe I’d actually be saying wuthering waves, a freaking predatory gacha game, is probably in my top 5 best games I’ve ever played when considering overall quality along with how fun it is. I only found it like 2-3 months ago and I’ve already put over 200 hours in it… There’s a joke that Kuro games is a music/anime company that attaches a game to their art.
Cyberpunk, but only because that fucking song came on the radio.
Witch one?
Have you watched edgerunners?
Ahh I know the song you’re talking about now!
Thomas was Alone. Cried over quadrilaterals.
Oh gosh, it’s been so long since I played, but I remember doing the same.
To be honest, there were a ton of PS3 games that wrecked me. Papa y Yo, Brothers, Journey.
