The age old question: Can a video game make you cry?
by unclejohn0525 on Comments
First of all, Shadow of the Colossus. Something about the end of the game were your character is turned into a BABY was oddly disheartning, and comes so very close to making you cry, or me at least. And then it starts playing this music, and your dead girlfriend comes back to life, and she picks you up and brings you to the roof of the castle, and BLAH BLAH BLAH. There is just something that makes you so sad about that ending that is nearly impossible to describe.
Moving on, ICO. Now this one, I'm not sure if it was that I didn't want the game to end, or if it was the mixture of sad music, and seeing that ancient castle crumble into the ocean that was sad, but this one is pretty hard to explain as well. It is probably a mixture of those three things that makes you want to cry your eyes out (please note, I said I did NOT cry during these endings, I just came kinda close).
And last but so very far from least, Kingdom Hearts 2. Now there are couple very clear reasons why the ending of this game makes you start jerking back the tears. First of all, it is a mixture of joy and sadness with KH2. You don't want the game to end, and the music by Utada at the end is a more sad remix of the KH2 theme song. So I came close on that one to.
Feel free to mention if you have felt this way for any games in the past. Don't worry, no one will call you a baby...ya little whimp...
