List any game here you've played and it made you cyr also tell us why.

[Lucid:]

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons made me cry! Saying why would be spoilers, but I will say that I really liked how the mechanics of the game really tied in to the story and the characters so closely. It made the game feel a lot more powerful.

It's a short game, and I would highly recommend playing it if you haven't. You can pick it up for $15 on Steam, and I believe it goes on sale pretty regularly, particularly since it's a little over a year old.

- Ni No Kuni. And don't make me specify the moment, long story short the game uses animations from Studio Ghibi, and is based alongside their story telling style. So when you put Sad and Studio Ghibi together you can get a clear vivid picture of what that entails.


- The Last of Us (I cannot specify in this game without ruining anything.)

My biggest one -> Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 (THE ENDING. MY GAWD THE ENDING. You knew what was going to happen if you played Final Fantasy 7, but my gawd the feels.) And when you tie the ending with this song:

GAAAH! FEEEEEELLLZZZZ!

I saw the title of this thread, and came here to post this same game. Oh my goodness I was upset. I finished the game, but I deleted it after that, I was still crying.

(It's a good game, though! And even though you control two characters at the same time, I think they did a great job of setting the controls so it's not too confusing.)

@Illusion, I have Ni No Kuni, picked it up for free as a PS+ sale, would you recommend it? (I am not familiar with any of the names you mentioned there, I never really got into Japanese Manga and all.)

I have "The Last of Us," as well. Now I'm not looking forward to the ending... But I will still play it eventually.

I bought Ni No Kuni on sale for $20 and I thought that I didn't pay enough money for it. It's rich in content, and a overall amazing game. I haven't spent that much time on one game within a whole months for years now.

(As in, in the short run, not the long run.)

There's quite a few games that made me cry for different reasons.

To The Moon: Watching the story of an old man's life play in reverse was so difficult. You know what's going to happen later in his life but when you get to the earlier stages of John's childhood, oh my god. It's so SAD.

The Last of Us: Especially the DLC, holy shit. That made me cry for a while. Even the beginning of the game is like, BAM! FEELS.

Beyond Two Souls: Without ruining it, the alternate paths you can choose hit so heavily sometimes. It's hard to see the way her life goes from past to present and everywhere inbetween.

Bravely Default: I can't say too much without ruining it but one of the characters, oh man. It's hard when you the player begin to piece together what's happening but the characters haven't figured it out.

I may or may not have shed tears for both Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 as well as for Final Fantasy 13.

Edit: I'm just a big baby when it comes to sad scenes.

I cried playing Eternal Sonata. It's an anime styled game similar to the Final Fantasy games in setup, based on the life of Frederick Chopin. The mix of the sad storyline and his beautiful music was enough to bring me to tears. It was very enjoyable to play though. (still need to do the second play through)

The Last of Us DLC: When you saw the setting you knew you were in for feels.

Bravely Default: I wouldn't call the story sad, but more so lies and deceit. Sure there are moments like... Hmmm.. Yeah spoilers. But those sad moments meant little because after you unleash the crystals so many... Yeah. It didn't matter because. You know. Things weren't consistent with each you know.. GAH trying to get into a full conversation about this game without spoiling anything is an impossible task. Because just one little story detail could spoil the whole thing! (Not ruin the story though.)

Beyond Two Souls: I watched playthroughs of this game, I'm waiting for a PS4 version of the game though. I played the demo as well. But darn, the acting is all well done. I did sob in a few moments, in terms of intensity this game can really hit strong moments of character interaction like The Last of Us.

Final Fantasy 13 isn't sad, it's sad moments are too touching in terms of you aweing at it. What's sad is 13-2. As much crap that story is, they know how to make you cry in that game. Ending and everything that has happened in between.

And no Kingdom Hearts has had me cried the most then 358/2 Days. Birth By Sleep had it's moments but.. OHMYGOSH XION, ROXAS, AND AXEL/LEA! DX

Omg We are one and the same. I played that game and I knew what would happen, but the entire time I was like yelling no...like that's gonna change anything T-T

[Madame-Aiko]

The ending of Pokemon black. When N left and never came back I was traumatized.

[Karastorm]

I just finished a play though of Brothers a tale of two son's Yup that ending sure is something. Really enjoyed the game as a whole the wrigting was suburb!. Playing through Majora's mask at the moment and I know where it's going it's just..GAH!.

[Schadenfreude]

LoZ: OOT. I got so frustrated because I couldn't manage to get to the boss chamber in the Water Temple that I cried. I was about five or six.

I didn't play this game but I watched a play through of Misao it's a pc game where a school girl named Misao dies and drags the entire school into this place that's like limbo. And you as the closest thing to a friend she had tries to free her soul and save the school.

Spoilers because there is material here that might be triggering to some and if you haven't played the gam/finishing it.

TW: Bullying, rape, and murder:

So towards the end of the game you find out what happened to your friend, you end up collecting her body parts that are hidden around the school and you find out that she was bullied in school a lot. It seem to get worse when the bully tells the whole class that Misao liked the most popular boy in school. And so he agrees to 'go out with her' little does she know that he was already dating some one else. She wrote an embarrassing poem to him and it somehow leaked and everyone at school saw it. At some point the bullying gets worse because the bully (Which is a girl) like the guy too and was probably jealous. Misao got beat up pretty badly and then was tossed into a bathroom stall where it is implied she was raped by a male student.

Eventually she leaves the bathroom and runs into the teacher, who is quite popular with the female students. But in reality there was something really dark about him. He tries his best to cheer her up and then...he began to talk about how pretty she was and that her hands we beautiful as well. He continued his advancements towards her but she brutally rejected him. This triggered him and it was also implied he raped her and then he murdered her. He chopped up her body up and hid them around the school.

This story made me sad because she literally did nothing to deserve any of this. She was just the quiet girl off in the corner. As the main character you're the closest friend she has and you eventually save her soul which I think is nice because she deserved more than she was offered. The story here is quite powerful and overall it was a great game.

Holly tommolie that sounds like a really strange game. The premises is just plain bizzare. Can understand ow it must be emotionally hard for some one to go through this. Think I ma have to find this game and give it a go.

To the moon. I honestly can't remember why but I know I bawled over it.
Ib. Garry messed me up man.
Mad Father. It was Maria's diaries
The Witch's house. THAT ENDING HURT OMG
