Video games that made you emotional

Topic I saw on another forum, but I'd like to see what you have to say as well

The most emotional part for me?
TES IV: Oblivion
Dark Brotherhood quest. Hidden text : click to show

First "Purification" when you have to kill your Cheyidinhal familly. When you come back to sanctuary, even this rude Khajiit guy becomes nice to you, and everyone else, as always, are happy to see you. And you have to kill them alll... That teared me apart. Then I was like "Lucien, you b...." during all the murders for him. Then he tells you there was a traitor, and after seaching for a traitor quests, I felt kinda sorry for Lu that Black Hand blamed him. When I though everything will be sloved in Applewatch, I saw Black Hand already killed Lucien. This totally broke me.

AW DARK BROTHERHOOD I'M OUT!

The games that make me the most emotional are the Kingdom Hearts games. Never have I completed one of those without an ache in my heart. The entire series seems to be designed for those kinds of reactions. I get a heartache just watching the opening for Dream Drop Distance. T.T

More recently, Skyward Sword... I don't think I've ever been so attached to a Link or Zelda before Skyward Sword. They just have so much personality. Hidden text : click to show

I was so sad when Zelda had to seal herself. D:

I suppose happiness counts for emotional as well? Groose cracks me up throughout the game~ ^-^

- Metal Gear Solid games (the entire freaking series)
- Bioshock (again, the whole series. The good ending to the first game still makes me cry)
- Red Dead Redemption (THAT ENDING ;;)
- Tales of Graces
- Okami
- ICO / Shadow of the Colossus

There's most likely more but those are all I can think of right now xD

I guess it was some Japanese game abou forest. It was really emotional and the final was sooo touching!

Death isn't really all that frightening in a video game, especially an RPG. Heck, characters die in nearly every battle, and they're just brought back to life with a cheap item. Whatever. It doesn't matter. Just shove a Phoenix Down into their mouths before rigor mortis sets in and theyll be back on their feet within seconds.

People may have shouted that common wisdom at the screen when Aerith died in Final Fantasy 7, but for whatever reason, it just wasn't an option. Maybe Sephiroth's blade is extra sharp or something. Either way, she died and stayed dead. We couldnt believe our eyes. She would come back later on, right? Crono comes back in Chrono Trigger (unless you don't save him, you monster), so surely she couldnt be dead? Yeah. But she was. And we were heartbroken.

Have you ever played Final Fantasy series? What is your opinion of the game?

There's most likely more but those are all I can think of right now xD. Also I would single out Overwatch. A thoroughly addictive game

I like to do overwatch boosting too.

Red Dead Redemption is a gaming masterpiece in my opinion!

I guess it is Path of Exile. If you haven't played it then you will not understand my choice. But you should give it a go for sure. If you face any troubles in the game this https://www.ssegold.com/path-of-exile will help to solve them

Having fun with Path of Exile so far. Level 10 Templar. I like that POE is voice-activated throughout. Every NPC has a voice. Good monsters and graphics. I will say that the skill tree is a bit overwhelming at first. And when I started researching if you reach the end game with the wrong build, you can hang it up too! So following someone else doesn't really feel like freedom of choice. But I'm early enough now that I'm still not on a roll.

I think that just well-cut and thoughtful games like The Witcher, Cyberpunk and Red Dead Redemption not only make us sensitive, they touch some deep feelings as if they touch the soul. This is why they are successful. And they will stay in hearts forever :cheers:

Man it have to be Red Dead Redemption 2, the grip of the story let's you experience a great tale. I would call my friend, she lives in the neighbouring condo whenever i am playing this game.

I play Little Nightmares on Steam and it's very special for me. I get so emotional going through the episodes. I had the same feeling while playing Machinarium.
