Have you ever cried because of a video game?

[QUOTE="DeathScape666"]Quite possibly the most overrated ending, ever. Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts II both had MUCH better endings. Much, much better.

The only movie, book, video game, magazine, song, newspaper, or anything that involves some form of a story that I have ever cried to is... Lilo and Stich. I found near the end to be extremely sad when Stich felt like he didn't belong, and that he didn't have an actual "family." Lilo was ***** for kicking him out of the house.

Come on. Lion King.

Nah, not yet. Not even Shadow of the Colossus moved me to cry.

I don't think gaming technology is up there yet for me to be truly moved.

I cried after losing a 2v2 match against level 12 players in Company of Heroes.anshul89

It's great to be a hermit huh? :P

I did a huge "Oh ------"

But nah. I think most games are too action-oriented for me to cry. Team ICO are probably the closest so far, however.

Even in film there a few movies that can make me cry, but there quite a bit that can make my eyes water or at least make me feel very emotional.

[QUOTE="jellomeister24"]

ive never cried due to a game. A game's pacing is way too slow to cause such emotions.



especially final fantasy. the grinding involved in getting from one plot point to the next is just too long a gap.

those were some really sad moments in gaming...mgs always tugs at your heartstrings...

I cried in Max Payne 1 and 2, because the games ended.

I also cried in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, but that's because I played the game.

MGS3.

MGS4 had me choke up a tad at the very but I just barely kept it together.

No, but MGS3 made it damn close.Chutebox

I was watching my mate play the final bit since we were finishing the game together, and if I'm right about the part you're talking about...

We were both feeling that part in the game up until that point, and it started to get a little overdrawn, and I turn to look at my friend and he's bawling his eyes out refusing to press the square button.

Totally ruined the moment for me and I cracked up laughing.

Lol, I just started laughing too. Good stuff haha.

yes, when i played GTAIV and it sucked i cried!

jk

i cried while playing big rigs.

tears of laughter :D

In Half-Life: Episode 2 I cried at the ned. That was soooo emotional for me, and I didn't expect it what-so-ever.

spoilers...

Eli treated you like a son in the game, and his death felt like the death of a father, grandfather, and a best-friend all in one.

I did cry when I played FF7 for the first time but not when Aeries died. I cried when Nanaki saw the statue of his father and learned that he didn't abandon the canyon, but died protecting it and got turned to stone. Its a great moment with perfect music and proves how powerful gaming can be as a medium.

If anyone answered yes, I have to ask, how old are you? :?

Because this is pathetic...

Because you're an absolutely big boy if you don't cry at all, right?

Nope.

Almost in FFX (I was 11. Sue me)

Almost in Max Payne 2 (During the ending. I played it this year too.)

It's really wrong to say such a thing.

The monkey island series.

Man I was laughing so hard at points playing them that I was reduced to tears from it all, those adventure days were awesome.

video game dialogue and most scenes are too impractical, simple and lack enough substance to ignite such emotions. A scene like Mustafas death in the Lion King gets me teary because he portrays a realistic relationship we can relate to. There's enough of an emotional attachment for me to react rather then say Arieth's death in FFVII.

Face it, video game storytelling is lackluster, and in most cases silly. You have to be some immature adolescent to have any strong emotional reactions and i dont mean this in a negative way.

No joke. When the game came out I locked myself in my apartment amd kept my phone on silent :P. Didn't want any talking.

1) MGS4

2) When I had an X360 and it RROD'd on me (like a year ago)

MGS4 says hay :). Yeah, some of the dialoguge may be "silly" but its completely non-evident during the scenes that are emotionally effective. It has movie-like qualities as far as presentation, direction, and storytelling go. And develop (especially thoughout the franchise) believable human characters with relationships/stories and emotions. They authentically express fear, love, pain, hope, anger, etc.

It's the only game to make me cry. There are movies that made me as well. That's the brilliance I see in the meshing of the two mediums. One's experience with MGS is interactive and passive. So it brings a new dimension to the table.
