I just saw that other thread so decided to make this…
For me there is no game that has ever made me cry, but the end of Crisis Core was sad even tho I knew what was going to happen.
Persona 3 had a pretty sad/unexpected ending
Shadow hearts 2 had a few moments.
In before ‘That part in Final Fantasy VII’
FF7 is one of my all time favorite games but I don’t see any sad parts in it 
What are you a cyborg? When Sephroth killed Aerith, it made my mother cry.
Speaking of Final Fantasy, when Yuna does The Sending in Final Fantasy X. That chokes me up. A truly brutal but a simply stunning moment. The music, the people crying on the beach. I can never forget that.
The ending of FF 10 was pretty sad. Mother 3 definitely had some sad moments (it’s the only game that made me cry before). That’s about it, I don’t remember any other game making me sad. (PS. I didn’t care about the “sad part” of FF7 because I hated that character anyway)
Well Dirge of Cerberus made me cry. Forgot about that.
Video games don’t have good stories if you think about it, which don’t get me emotionally involved. Just saying though.
Agro!
This shit. Forgot about it.
:sad:
The game where your dad makes you chop a lot of onions!!! i HATE when my mome works evnings!
I agree to some extinct. You can still get attached to memorable characters.
A good story does necessarily equal good character development (or vice versa).
I never cried over a video game, but I did get a bit sad when:
End of Shen Mue 2, cuz then I realize there will never be a part 3.
But seriously I’ve never cried because of a game, but there’s a part in FFXIII that includes Sahz and Dahj that made me a little sad. and If you fail to save Cid in FFVI, then Celes tries to commit suicide and that’s pretty sad. That’s all I can think of right now.
The flashback from Cloud’s past where he’s accused of putting Tifa in harm’s way despite not having done anything wrong >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shitty Aeris’s supposedly “heart-wrenching” death.
Got sad during the following:
@ SoVi3t, below: agreed.
Dr. B’s sadness is also happiness.
Chrono Trigger, cuz I know everybody HAS to say goodbye at the end, and cuz I know the sequel was SOOOOOOOOOOO terrible
SSF4 for making me wait so fucking long.
On a real note: FF7 when seph killed aerith.
A whooole lot of shit in Metal Gear.
Also I just got Heavy Rain and I got such a terrible ending that I was legit depressed for about 15 minutes.
MGS4 makes grown men emotional pussies. Spoilers ahead for those who haven’t played. I’m not marking spoilers because the game has been out for 2 years now.
Returning to Shadow Moses is #1 when it comes to getting hit emotionally. Seeing the surveillance camera break down and fall was like seeing an old friend die before your eyes. No joke. Seeing the place broken and battered, and hearing [media=youtube]6miaTf1gF4g]**The Best Is Yet To Come[/b[/media]… the right words can’t come to mind right now… I mean for fucks sake, read the gotdamn youtube comments. All the truth is right there.
The scene right before the final battle got me so bad. When you saw the [media=youtube]BMkfgf6AJ8A#t=3m12s[/media]… After all these years, they’ve both become old fools with nothing left. Nothing but a final score to settle in honor of their rivalry and their predecessors’ (Liquid Snake and Big Boss) rivalry. Everyone who had been with Solid Snake since MGS1 twelve years ago that watched that scene knew that this was truly, truly, truly the end of Metal Gear Solid. Truly. Just that realization alone was enough to make you break down.
The marriage scene. More specifically, [media=youtube]1aIdvJ8wKYw#t=6m14s[/media]. In the scene before, Snake had knelt in front of his father’s grave and shot himself. My god… Otacon’s answer to Sunny, and the music, the pan to the sunset, then the fade to black to credits. I could almost feel a tear trickling down my right eye. Everyone gets krunk and enjoys the good life while Snake, the one who made their happiness possible, is left to suffer some more. Shiiiiiiiit.
**[media=youtube]Vp1PZB8keic#t=1m22s]The epic manly father-son hug between Snake and Big Boss[/b[/media]. We fans have been waiting for this reconciliation between the two (In the manliest way possible) for over two decades. When Big Boss finally calls Snake his son… seriously, has there ever been another game with any cutscenes that can top scenes like this?
The ending scene, where [media=youtube]nAWm_1VKB70]Big Boss peaces Zero out. That took me back to MGS3… just thinking about how all your best friends back then become your worst enemies in the future, and how there was no choice but for all of them to get wiped out. Not only them, but his lover (Eva) and probably his only loyal friend/rival (Ocelot). When I was **[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAWm_1VKB70#t=3m59s]mashing X the see the flashbacks and I saw MGS3 Zero[/b[/media], I felt so broken.
**[media=youtube]xye5cUD9z8Y#t=1m14s]Big Boss’ salute to The Boss[/b[/media]. It’s all come full circle. So many emotions running rampant at this part.
When Big Boss says to himself (The Boss) that **[media=youtube]xye5cUD9z8Y#t=4m30s]the world would be better off without Snakes[/b[/media]. Too deep. Seeing Snake about to burst into tears, then lighting Big Boss’ cigar for him… Thinking about all the shit the poor man has gone through since Metal Gear 1987… it’s too much emotional rape.
When Big Boss finally dies. “**[media=youtube]xye5cUD9z8Y#t=6m51s]This is good, isn’t it?[/b[/media]” Then the cigar drops from between his fingers. Cue ending music. I was done. Here’s to you, Big Boss. Here’s to you.
I never cried from watching a video game, but if there’s one that I can say got me so, so, so, so fucking close, it’s MGS4. That’s over a decade of emotional attachment to these characters. It’s like you really fucking KNEW these people. Seeing some of them die the deaths they did, coupled with the flashbacks was almost too much. Sure, it’s a video game, pixels, yada yada. But that’s a testament to the game’s power to move you. Using pixels and voice acting as a story-telling medium so well to the point where belief has been totally suspended and you grow so damn attached to the characters and world these very pixels make up… that’s some real good shit right there. Fuck the haters, MGS for life.
Oh, and the death of The Boss in MGS3 goes without saying. The game forcing you to actually pull the trigger to kill her… that shit can’t be put into words.
Fucking great post, man. I think The Best Is Yet to Come is the only video on youtube with readable comments.

Tears almost flowing.
Respect to all mentions of MGS
