inFAMOUS 2's Final Boss for the evil path.

InFamous 2 was just one of those games where I actually had to walk out of the room when it came to decision time. Save the world and kill myself, or save myself and kill all non-powered humans. It was hard choosing the dark path to be sure.

Not going to get into it for spoiler reasons, but the end game+ story bit of Xenoverse 2 is an emotional hell of sorts.

Definitely 2 games come to mind.
The Walking Dead Season 1 and game of 2015, Life is Strange. Had me crying. Brilliant games.

Remenber the DS game based on the first Transformers movie? Well, the ending of that thing made me cry. I was 9 or so around that time.

Looking back, I don't know why I cried while watching that, let alone cry 2 more times after my second and third playthrough. I guess it was the whole "ultimate sacrificie" theme around it or something. Well, that and the fact that I was a crybaby back in the day (even by 9-year-old standars)

Just remembered another set of emotional games. The Momodora series. To anyone who doesn't know it I highly recommend playing the free ones first before choosing to buy 3 and reverie under the moonlight. Even when there isn't a whole lot of dialogue you can feel the emotion in the cutscenes, the dialogue, and what you see.

Owlboy had a fantastic relationship between BoyOwl and his mentor, one of the best I've seen in a videogame, and the devs use gameplay to translate it incredibly well.

Too bad 90% of the rest of the game sucks so badly.


RE: The emotional video game thread - gamemaster1991 - 11-10-2016

I'm just going to say it. I'm a sap because Bioshock 2's Good Ending made me want to tear up.




RE: The emotional video game thread - CosmykTheDolfyn - 11-11-2016

I wrote about one of these games in a different thread, and now it comes back to mind. I am talking about the first Front Mission game.

Next game I play for sure!

If you've played the game, you know why I'm posting this.

Enjoy the first few hours where the devs actually tried :D


Oh and people rag on the Kingdom Hearts Spinoffs a lot, but 358/2 days is fucking heart wrenching in the latter half, and it's not just a few scenes or characters it's a solid continual cycle of breaking you down.

Now here's something recent from me that made me get a little choked up(but in a happy way mind you). Crash Bandicoot and Spyro hugging in the Skylanders Academy cartoon(yes, this actually happened if anyone is wondering)

Both Crash and Spyro have a few things in common. They're platformers, they came out in the 90s, and they're both loved by gamers. I was really surprised to see Crash show up in Skylanders(both the game and in the skylanders cartoon). If you look at this way, Crash showing up in skylanders is sort of a 'welcome back' party to Crash for the world of gaming. Gamers know who he is(both old and new) but he hasn't showed up in anything until now(thanks to both Skylanders and the upcoming remastered trilogy).

How can you feel so sad over an ending you know about in advance?

Mother 3. The Final "Battle." Just a great way to end a game and a sad ending
