Marked spoilers for the obvious reason that this topic most likely will have loads of them...

I was inspired to make this topic after seeing the "What Movies Made You Cry?" one. Because to me, games are just as, if not more emotionally attaching than movies. (Even if you haven't cried during a game, say what game you were very attached to emotionally)

The first and only time I've ever cried playing a game is from Metal Gear Solid 3.


























***I Said Spoilers Already! You've Been Warned!***
























Killing The Boss. For those of you who have beaten the game, you know what I'm talking about. Standing over a beaten Boss with her own Patriot held to her head by the very man she trained with for years. Having to pull the trigger during that scene was the hardest thing I ever had to do in a game. I sat there for at least 5 minutes, not pressing a button, wanting a cutscene to play where I didn't have to kill her...

Then I knew I had to. I did it, I cried. If you've listened to all the radio convo's and carefully paid attention throughout the entire game about the info on The Boss, who she was and how great of a person she was, you would (and probably do if you've done all of that) feel the same way I did.

That scene will forever be in my mind.

I know precisely what you mean. That scene and the long cut-scene at the end about it was the most amazing thing in a game I've ever seen.

As for other scenes that've made me cry... I'll have to think about that.

In Final Fantasy 7...

[SPOILER]...when Aeris' mom died. ;__;[/SPOILER]

I cry everytime I see the end of FFX. Also Kingdom Hearts made me cry as did disk 1 of FFVII and there were parts of the Xenosaga series that have made me cry.

[SPOILER]The end of MG3 is the only game to ever draw a tear. It really was a perfect ending[/SPOILER]

[spoiler]when aeris died in ff7 and when luna is about to have to stay in the tower in lunar 1 lucia leaves in lunar 2[/spoiler]

The end of Terranigma. I don't know why, but everything that happens and mixing in the music during the last scene... it was just the closest I've ever gotten to crying on a game.

[spoiler=FF9]The end of Final Fantasy 9, where Kuja dies in the Iifa Tree. Well, that part made me cry in sadness. I shed some happy tears finding out that Puk was alive and when Zidane came back for Garnet. ^^[/spoiler]

Black & White, when my profile got corrupted and I couldn't get the patch to apply (even after an uninstall/reinstall - it said the game "wasn't installed") and I realized that until I took seriously drastic action (or wasted a good bit of time figuring out why the patch didn't see the game), I would be stuck having to go through the painfully long, insultingly basic, and excruciatingly "interactive" opening.

I felt like I wanted to either cry or kill something. Well, preferably the latter.

what a way to ruin the mood haha

[spoiler="MGS3"]The ending was really sad. Didn't cry though.[/spoiler]

[spoiler="Grandia II"]Mareg's death was sad. Actually, I got spoiled before I ever got to that part.[/spoiler]

[spoiler="Conker's Bad Fur Day"]I didnt cry but was like "why???" [/spoiler]

Haven't played, but I think I understand, Locke.

Gaaaasp.....

[SPOILER=FFVIII] I almost cried at the end of FFVIII...Eeeeeek!!! When Rinoa thinks that Squall is dead, and then she hugs him...GYAA!! IT'S SO SWEEEEET!!! And then poor Laguna at Raine's grave...But the best part still comes after the credits, when we see that Squall is, infact, still alive! Hehehe, I love that game! n.n[/SPOILER]

Michael, I agree about that part in Grandia II. Gosh, the game didn't feel quite the same after that.
[spoiler=Grandia II]I also got a bit misty-eyed when Ryuudo had that flashback about Melfice and his fiance. And when Melfice died. >.<; MELFICE, WHY?![/spoiler]

Xenogears

[SPOILER] Alice seemed like the kind of Non Playable Character that would`ve been in love with Fei. Sort of like Ashley`s girl in Wild Arms 2. But then she died....but timothy`s death was so predictable. [/SPOILER]

Grandia II

[SPOILER] When Mareg died I almost cried...he was my strongest character with a lot of hp. I wanted Roan or Elena to die. [/SPOILER]

Grandia Xtreme

[SPOILER] The whole storyline. just sad and not the tear kind, just sad... compared to the average RPG[/SPOILER]

LOZ: The Minish cap

[SPOILER] Time to shrink! [/SPOILER]

When my little brother somehow erased my entire SSBM save file. ;o;

Um, Tom, why would shrinking in the Minish Cap make you sad?

Myoti wrote:Um, Tom, why would shrinking in the Minish Cap make you sad?

Yeah, I don't understand either... o.O

Well, anyway...

[SPOILER=Star Ocean 2]The scene where Rena finds out the truth about her mother, and that Rena herself is from 65 million years ago and was sent into the future via an enormous time jump[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER=Final Fantasy X]Okay, I admit it. When Tidus started vanishing in front of Yuna and she tried to hug him and fell through him, I cried a bit.[/SPOILER]

The ending of Kingdom Hearts made me cry too.

Also, the ending of Arc the Lad 2.

I know there's more than this, but I can't remember them at the moment. Sorry. :\

[spoiler="Final Fantasy IX"]This game definitely had it's sad moments. Vivy pretty much has a sad and depressing life all through.[/spoiler]

[spoiler="All the Silent Hills"]All of them had some really sad stuff in the plots. SH2's 'Water' ending was really hard to watch. SH3 was pretty sad too; like when you find Harry dead in the apartment. That was just depressing.[/spoiler]

[spoiler="Xenogears"]This game's plot is really just one big tragedy up until the end. I thought it was sad that Krelian chose to keep tormenting himself over Sohpia's death.[/spoiler]

That one scene in that one game where the supporting character gets killed and tells the main character to beat the crap out of the bad guy...

...which was what they were trying to do for the past 40 hours of gameplay.

Yeah, that one. Great stuff.

[SPOILER=about Star Wars: The Clone Wars]Everytime the person who did Anakin's voice spoke. It was painful...[/SPOILER]

MasterSquirrel: I couldn`t agree more.

Kae and Myoti: I can think a boy shrinking is sad okay?!

HAHAHA! Good one!

[spoiler=Star Ocean 3]Seeing Dion and Ameena die beside one another. T_T I really wanted them both to live...[/spoiler]

I cried during the ending of Final Fantasy VIII.

I cried during the ending of Super Mario Sunshine. I mean, I could practically feel my IQ going down.

Zone of the Enders.
[spoiler]Poor Ada. And to a lesser extent, Viola. Leo and Celvice made it out okay, though. Dang, I should really play ZOE2 to find out what happens, as I heard Viola is in it! [/spoiler]

[spoiler="Minor stuff in ZOE2"]Viola is in it, but she's just a battle A.I. And she's still annoying as heck.[/spoiler]
