I finished Life Is Strange last night and I was choked up

Spoiler

at the final decision of the game. I just had to save Arcadia Bay

and the ending ruined me. I must admit I was teary-eyed. This is so rare for me as even the most emotionally draining movies haven't moved me the way Life Is Strange did.

Spoiler

It must be because you decide the ending, not the director

Other games that had me close were Kingdom Hearts 2 and Shadow of the Colossus but not to the extent of Life Is Strange.

Are there any games that have made you teary-eyed or full out cry?

 

[Goldenroad]

Just the ending of Journey. It was late, I was drunk and that game had me breaking down.

 

[JeffGrubb]

Octodad. Not kidding.

 

[FriedConsole]

Nope. Unless you count crying because I just wasted my money on a crappy game.

 

[Basketball]

nope

 

[DancingNalwood]

The giraffe.

 

[Dimmle]

Mother 3

 

[ThomasCro]

Final Fantasy X. I don't remember the exact sequence, but that game wrecked me a couple of times.

The soundtrack was probably the main reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1JgIg38QBU

Also, a couple of times in the Mass Effect franchise.

Spoiler

I was determined not to cure the genophage and I had to kill Mordin and Wrex myself.

 

[wamberz1]

Yea, during the ending of To The Moon.

 

[DNAbro]

Persona 4

The whole thing in early December.

 

[Unknown?]

She'd a few tears at the end of Crisis Core. Never ended up bawling over a game though.

 

[Acquiescence]

I started crying about an hour into Metal Gear Solid 2.

 

[SZips]

Most recently: That Dragon, Cancer

Off the top of my head: To the Moon did and the ending to the first season of The Walking Dead had me shed a few tears.

I finished Life is Strange Monday night and cried and have felt like shit ever since.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Brothers: a tale of two sons

Two particular scenes made me stop playing so I could calm down

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

I cried at the endings of both Persona 3 and 4.

 

[Mr-Joker]

No, then again I am not one to wear my emotion on my sleeves. Not that there is anything wrong in being in touch with your emotions.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Twilight Princess but I was 11 if that's any consolation, I bet I'll cry HD tears soon.

 

[Agram]

There were tears in my eyes when I met giraffes.

And Journey's ending was special when I first played it.

 

[DoublePayje]

Valiant Hearts finale. Stood myself on the military graveyard from the final scene of the game. It's an actual place in eastern france and they let recruits run up the mountain to pay their respects (i was just a tourist, but anyway. Beautiful place today). Next day i finished the game. When i saw the graveyard in-game in that last scene - that graveyard i just saw in real life the day before - and realized what was happening i started crying/sobbing like a baby.

 

[Get_craycray]

The Last of Us prologue.

 

[MauroNL]

Valiant Hearts wrecked me pretty bad.

Walking Dead Season 1 was also really reeeally close

 

[Santiako]

When I lost my Pokémon Red save, I cried like a baby.

 

[Joyful]

yes iam a human being with emotions

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Yeah, Halo 5 when I realized was Halo was dead.

[Eidan]

No, but I don't doubt the medium's ability to provoke that kind of reaction. I just doubt I'm playing the right kind of games to do it.

 

[Tagyhag]

Undertale was the first and only game to ever make me tear up.

Stupid sad music.

Also,

Undertale made me tear up during the final

Pacifist battle.

.

It was a very powerful climax on top of some powerful music, OK?

 

[lucebuce12]

Spoiler

Losing Mordin

in Mass Effect 3 made me legit cry.

I've shed an occasional tear at something that was genuinely sad or depressing but that moment made me just well up.

Journey
Final Fantasy X

Coincidentally my Top 4 games of all time (not including strategy/non-narrative games)

[Lusankya]

Yes, and I mean real crying not some tears in the eyes.

First one was Virtue's Last Reward and there

Luna's .....

ending. I replayed it several times and every time I have to cry.

Second time was during STEINS;GATE, damn this game makes me so sad. I am glad the

true end is a happy end.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

The Last of Us prologue.

I almost cried at that point. Like... had to blink away tears, basically. But didn't cry.

I should play Tale of Two Sons.

 

[Squidofman]

Just once.

The end of....Assassin's Creed IV.

That was incredibly close for me.

 

[Demoskinos]

Sounds about right. That game wrecked me as well.

 

[Cipher Peon]

Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations is the only game to make me cry.

It made me bawl like a baby.

 

[OldGangWarily]

The first section of Episode 4 in Life is Strange is the only time I've ever got misty.

 

[bidguy]

[zswordsman]

No but Persona 4 left me really depressed with an empty feeling for about a month after I finished everything. Never had that happen before with a game.

 

[pirateluigi]

Elite Beat Agents. Every time I play THAT level.

 

[cacildo]

Obviously no

 

[mobilesworking]

Journey, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, and inexplicably the credits of Splatoon.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core are the only ones to do that. FF X ending hit me really hard on my most recent playthrough last year while it didn't bring me to tears when playing at original launch. Seems the older I get the more prone I am to getting emotional responses from various media.

VLR made me tear up a bit during certain spots too iirc.

 

[Frederik]

Life is Strange is the only game that brought me to tears. Several times.
Nothing else otherwise.

The only video game that ever brought tears (and ever came close). It's amazing especially with how kinda awful the dialogue can be and how oddly the tone can change from one moment to the next.

I wish I had GHB'd myself so I could experience it all over again. Yes, I am an absolute nutter.

 

[Maintenance]

Elite Beat Agents. Every time I play THAT level.

"EBA! EBA! EBA!"

 

[Kyoufu]

The Witcher 3's combat made me cry.

Seriously though, I had tears when the FFX ending happened. :'(

MGS3's ending also made me emotional. Great games.

Virtue's Last Reward: The end-game stuff regarding Luna and Tenmyouji.
Ace Attorney: AA3's last case comes to mind.
