Has a videogame ever made you cry?

[demon9k]

Final Fantasy VII again.

I wouldnt say cry, but there was a very definite lump in my throat at the end of the first disc.

Wow I was happy when she died. Best game ever in my opinion but I couldn't help being happy when she died.

Never cried at a video game either.

I didnt like Aeris much either, but the way it was carried out. The FMV, coupled with the music was ace. I couldnt help it.

FF7 struck some emotions, but only during the end of the Corel Prison and Cosmo Canyon sections. Both were played out so well.

Never cried, though.

[Sieg]

Likewise emotional at times with FFVII - - but I didn't cry as such...

I had a tear in my eye at the end of Ocarina of Time though ... I couldn't believe it was over ~.~

just been playing Clock Tower 3 and the blind couple who get their eye sight back got a bit of an ahhhh.
Ico got a bit of a tear from the other half. Which is a first as she normaly walks out of the room when I`m playing games.

I tend to get pretty emotional by Zelda games...Not so much by tragic plot events..But more of nostalgia. I always feel sad every time I finish a new Zelda game.

Secret of Mana almost had me going there for a few times...Somehow it?s easier for me to connect to small pixels describing feelings trough small gestures and written text, than having Tidus, Squall, Raiden or whoever showing another beautifully rendered, yet ultimately cheezy "tragic" sequence.

The most emotive game as a whole for me is probably Ocarina Of Time, but for the most sensitive section it must be Majora?s Mask. After spending hours upon hours forming a bond with the characters in the village, it is rather upsetting to see them in such a fearful and lonely state when they only have a few minutes until the moon will take their lives and everything they have worked for?

But not many things compare to the cut scenes from OOT imo. One of the most disappointment things about Wind waker I found was that it didn?t take itself seriously enough until the last 2 dungeons? I wanted to feel warm inside yet equally chocked up like I did..say...when I saw Shiek for the first time...sadly there was only one scene in WW that had that effect?

But that?s another topic altogether

When he left his nan and went off in the boat was quite sad...

[DjSatansfury]

I dont know

But i pissed my pants when watching FF8 cutscenes

[npg]

The ending of Windwaker after the credits had rolled.. almost.

[Wools]

Never!

Although two occasions I felt "emotional" when watching.

When Sniper Wolf takes her dying last breaths and Otacon announces his love for her. Snakes emotionless reaction when she says "set me free" is quite cold.

In Shenmue when you come close to christmas there's a scene where you and Nazomi are on a park bench and she leans on you. I think she says "Please, for awhile, stay with me". That was quitre touching. I just wish Ryo had some guts to love her back!

[Riskbreaker]

No tears yet, but some emotional moments have been:

1. FF7 is the popular one, there wasn't a game before then that actually grabbed you when a character died. Also the scene where Red finds out the true story of his father was quite sad.

2. Metal Gear Solid and Sniper Wolf's death.

3. Vagrant Story when Ashley Riot says goodbye to an apparition of his dead wife and son.

The Vagrant Story moment was the most emotional, its hard to explain why without revealing a major twist in the plot. Needless to say that the whole scene works brilliantly and the music that plays in the background really sets its off.

Both Space Channel 5 games make me feel unusually nostagalic upon completion considering the length of time they've been around. Someone else (probably in another post, on another forum ) nailed the reason for this as being that the run up to the end of game is so well implemented it actually puts you on a high whilst you're playing it. The last scenes are incredibly involving, with all of the characters encountered up to that point helping Ulala sing her way to victory. So reaching the ending is always disappointing as that boost quickly diminishes.

[bulroarer]

SSX Tricky.

In my PS2.

Dropped on my foot.
