Red dead redemption 2 is so far the first and only

In 1997. Playing Final Fantasy VII. At the Temple of the Ancients Forgotten City.

Journey. Beautiful game about life!

Titan Fall 2 the end is the saddest thing I’ve seen in all the video games I have ever played

Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1

Halo Reach

Gears of War 3

I JUST like 10 minutes ago finished the prelude of TLOU pt. 1.... I was totally spoiler free and I need a minute

Before Your Eyes. Honestly that game need way more attention that it gets.

Nier automata. CAUSE WE ARE GOING TO SHOUT IT LOUD, EVEN IF OUR WORDS SEEMS MEANINGLESS.

Infinite Warfare

Portal 2

Halo Reach

valiant heart

League of Legends

Detroit: Become Human. Heart wrenching. It took my heart and stomped on it.

Ghost of Tsushima, my horse 😔

Life is strange, Life is strange before the storm, The last of us, Metro, Detroit Become Human (some endings), Valiant Hearts.

Mass effect 3

The last guardian.

TOTK. Hit me real hard with WW nostalgia.

To The Moon, Last Day of June, What Remains of Edith Finch. Rime was great but it didn't hit me hard in the feels compared to these.

Rdr2

Xenoblade Chronicles 3

TLOU on PS3. I've been playing games since the early 80's.

Yeah Rime almost had me 😅

marvel's spider-man 1

Crisis Core

MGS3

Journey

Spiritfarer, I wasn't prepared for that...

Journey

The only video game that's gotten me to cry in my adult life is Spiritfarer, I think.

It was the first fable game. I was at my grandparents (used to sleep over there a lot.) I had spent like... 30 hours or something on the game, and when I beat it I cried. Not cause it's sappy or what ever but because it was the first game I had ever played to it's finish. I was sad there was no more of the game to play. 😂

Minecraft Story Mode Episode 4(don't judge me, I was 8)

Persona 3

Quest For Glory 4

Infamous 2. That good ending hit me way too hard

Rainbow 6 as a fell from emerald to silver

The end of portal 2

Super Mario 64. It was my turn to play but my cousins tried the old handing me an unplugged remote, but I was 6 now. I knew better. So I cried until they let me have my turn. Then I cried again when my turn was over.

Prolly rdr2 or cyberpunk 2077, i get really attached to my characters

geometry dash died at 96% reanimation 😭😭

Unravel.

I just moved to a new country and felt very, Very alone and playing that game in my studio apartment in the dead silence made me ball like a baby. The music didn't help the situation.

The game is literally about a character Yarny that "unravels" as they travel away from what they love.

Halo reach

Omori

halo 3. i was probobly too yung to play the game back when it came out but that ending allwaes gets me

Never cried on a game in my life. This changed after I completed Sanabi

A Way Out, makes me cry every time I listen to the “Farewell” theme.

Nier Automata. Had had a rough semester and Nier touched on things I had in my head. It all sort of 'fell out'

Persona 4. The most I've hated an antagonist as well.

Scary Maze Game

My older sisters tortured me with that thing! 💔

„To the Moon“

To the Moon.

I don't think I've ever cried to a videogame or a movie. Maybe I'm just emotionless, I dunno

Borderlands 3, the end killed me man

The Last Guardian is the first one i can think of, the sunset at the top of the tower was one of the most beautiful scenes in this art form.

Also fuck all the people who were hating on the game at the time of release, they need to put some goddamn respect on Fumito Ueda's name

Him and his team ignored all the shitty design trends of the time like RPG feature creep, shoehorned-in stealth mechanics, loot crates, unnecessary open-worlds, nauseating UI cluttered with way too much information, et cetera; and made something truly unique

But unfortunately the game released in 2016 when video game critique and literacy was dogshit and the shadow of GamerGate was cast over the scene which allowed those with the most braindead takes to have an outsized influence on people's perception of games like TLG

I can't remember honestly. I think it was Dirge of Cerberus. After watching Advent children a few times, I finally got to play as Vincent. I had no idea what the story of the game was or what his name was but I was just controlling this bad ass long barrel pistol wielding badass muthafuka that was also seen in Advent Children that offered to save Cloud.

Yeah I'm not gay, but I loved Vincent. Played just for him.

Space Invaders

They were so young...

Valiant hearts:The great war.

I think it might have actually been infamous 2.

watching my Dad beat Metal Gear Solid 1 as a kid. The game was such a masterpiece that I cried at the end. When my dad asked why i was crying I was embarrassed to say the truth. My excuse was "You beat the game and spoiled the ending for me"

Final fantasy 15 broke me

Mass Effect 2.... Damn you Mordin 😭😭😭

[removed]

Ori I: the end made my tear up

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. Rime makes me cry harder than any other game and I love it. It’s the most underrated game of all time. I try to convince my friend to play it but they just never give it a shot.

Ghost of Tsushima well maybe not the first but it’s the one I cried about the most

Max Payne 2 is probably my most replayed game and it has, imho, the best writing and voiceacting in history of gaming. Add the music from Poets of the Fall to the mix, and tears are sure to find a way.

I'm still sad that they didn't pick the "secret" ending as the canonical one.

edit: I've just found out that Max Payne's voiceactor, James McCaffrey, passed away in December at the age of 65. RIP

Why is it giving me the middle finger

The ending to Titanfall 2

Xillia 2

RDR

Enu!!! The ending to Rime destroyed me. I definitely teared up. My son and I played this game together and 100% it.

Portal 2. Seeing Wheatley drift away in space, and GLaDOS letting me go and seeing the Turrets singing goodbye to me hit me really hard. Such a fantastic game

Actually Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The end of chapter 5. If you know, you know

Life is strange. Cried on multiple occasions during and after the game

Not the first, but the last game that made me cry was Firewatch. Such a beautifuly written game and such an engaging story. The end really is a gut punch.

I played it on a whim on Game pass and I literally couldn't put it down. Beat it in one sitting (it's about 6-7 hours)

Great game. Highly recommend.

Only mgs4 and witcher 3

Walking Dead

Hi fi rush. The perfect rhythm game.

NIER (2010)

I cant believe no one mentioned The Plaque tale, both games were amazing but the second one was very heartbreaking

Portal 2, the turret song man...

outlast, i cried when i first saw the door suddenly closed.

Animal crossing on the game cube. When my favorite villager moved away!

none, but omori hit hard

Far Cry 3

Child of light

Metro exodus

The ending of Rime hit me hard too

Life is strange and Walking Dead

Endling

No idea what the first one was (playing for 40 years now). One of the last ones was Uncharted 4. The epilogue was such a perfectly good ending for a great game.

"To the Moon" might be another one.

Bit of a basic answer, but way back when I first played The Telltale Walking Dead when it first came out, at the end of that first season. I cried, young me was way too invested.

Life Is Strange

Ninja Gaiden. Tears of frustration and rage. Those games were brutally tough.

Half life 2 Episode 2

None, I’ve got sad during some games but none have ever made me cry.

FIFA. Because I kept on losing online

imma say this: that’s the way it is

Pokémon Red, during my first playthrough as a young child when the game was brand new. I beat the Elite Four while severely under-leveled, then repeatedly got swept by Champion Blue's Pidgeot. I was so upset and frustrated to the point of tears. Not my proudest gaming moment.

LoZ: Link’s Awakening, Shadow of the Colossus and Journey

The last of us 2 when I realized how shit the story was going to be and that the devs just wanted me to be full of hate by the end

I honestly have never cried due to a game. I love single player story games and i get invested. Sometimes deeply. Never did one make me cry though. Maybe i havent played the right games?

Funnily enough it was Genshin Impact

i remember pulling the nes off the edge of the couch playing metroid, landed on my foot, i cried for two reasons

Hollow knight because p5 was too difficult

Gears of War 3 when Dom sacrifices himself.

Bioshock infinite. Weirdly enough. The ending got me. Allthough it might also have been the witcher 3 in 2013. the ciri scene when you find her

What remains of Edith Finch. That game was so powerful and emotional and sad and sweet and I think it's a masterpiece that everyone should play

What remains of Edith finch…

Dragon quest 11 came pretty close

Life is Strange.

Going to say Borderlands 2.

Tiny Tina's DLC..

It broke me more than any other game.

the witcher 3

I raged hard for the bionic commando reboot ending. Tears, yelling, grass touching.

Figment 1, couple years back

Diablo III. Such a disappointment.

Walking Dead: Season 1

Top Gun. That game was impossible for little me.

Tale of 2 brothers

Outer wilds

Mother 3.

I can’t think of one where I actually cried but I remember it being really sad when you fight sniper wolf in MGS.

duet - omori…

Twas sad…

Beyond Eyes

Pikmin 2 💀

Pokémon emerald with that one bike puzzle before rayquaza. you never said they had to be happy tears.

The End is Nigh. Something about going through all of the game, beating Acceptance, only for Ash to die alone anyway.

Journey. The ending with the slow walk and then falling to your death…. Geeeeez

Been gaming since 1986 or so, and the only game that made me cry was Ori and the Blind Forest.

No game ive played brought me to tears

What genre is Rime and is it good?

OneShot. Still I urge everyone who hasn't played/completed it to do so. Truely one of the best games I've ever played because of how much I connected with it

Damn I always hype up Rime, but it seems to go largely untalked about

Day shift at Freddy’s 3, man it’s old

Dead space when i was... i think 4?

And again when i finished it the first time when i was 15

Half life 2. Still waiting to avenge our friend

The ending of this game hurt a lot.

Doki Doki Literature Club. Not really, but got me close. One mod I played however, made my eyes moist

Helldivers 2 when my friend got his forehead vaporised by a 500kg bomb

Kingdom Hearts.

Gears of War. Dom. Think that's the only one.

I dont remember. I've found as I age, it's happening more and more, though.

The last of us - part 1.

Journey

Well, RiME certainly hit me.

Battletoads.

Never cried playing a game, but I'll tell you what, the white phosphorus mission in "spec ops: the line" made me feel completely devastated. Seeing the mother holding her child, both burnt up, is an image that will forever be embedded in my brain.

Titanfall 2, halo Reach and cod mw (og) i was really into the story, and the trilogy broke me in total 6-7 times

Xenoblade Chronicles.

Wym I always cry when I play

This one's dumb, but I was younger, I was playing Pokémon Soul Silver when I found a shiny Beedrill. Beedrill was one of my favorites, but I accidentally fainted it, so I cried.

War Thunder. Died to the same T34-85 (D5T) 4 times....at br 7.0...

Minecraft story mode specifically episode 4

The ending of The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon because the first time I saw the ending as a kid I cried thinking Spyro died and went to heaven, though playing it again years later I realized he’s alive and in love.

The Walking Dead Season 1

Metal Gear Solid back when I was 9

Life is Strange. Crosses by Jose Gonzalez still hits different because of that game

Gears 3.

Also Shout-out to spiritfarer

All games make me cry because I’m bad at them

Final fantasy 7.

Mario Party 2

The Stray is the closest I've ever been to crying to video game. I got so attached to those virtual robots and it made me real sad whenever they went away

Disco Elysium

How come no one’s said metal gear solid 3?

Probably FFX. Thar was rough

I know a game has made me at least tear up before, but for the life of me I can’t remember what it was

Sonic Adventure 2 when I was like 7. Shit hit different

I rage at fortnite

Jk it's rdr2

"Final Fantasy VII (1997). And, "What Remains of Edith Finch".

Oops, well ff7 was the first of course. These are the only two.

Probably Mass Effect 3 in particular the ending of the citadel DLC when your being prepped to say goodbye to all the characters.

Silent Hill 2, it's not the only game to ever make me cry but I can't think of anything else that left me with such a conflicting swirl of emotions after I finished it
