For me, it was Princess Rosalina’s backstory in Super Mario Galaxy.

Among the Sleep - Game hinted at the ending which made me cry multiple times and ball when the ending happened.

For me it was The Last Guardian's ending.

Half of Kaim's dreams in Lost Odyssey, and the cliff flashback.

About half of GLaDOS's scenes in either Portal game.

Earthbound. Was playing it as a kid and didn't have a guide. Final boss, was losing. Hit "pray" in a panic because I was out of options. And then it does the whole thing, and something about overcoming impossible odds with the power of love and community gets to me.

Also the ending of the binding of Isaac where you hear his parents fighting. That dredged up some feelings I didn't know were kicking around down there!

Mother 3 may be the only game that made me teary. I think there may be another I'm blocking out but I generally avoiding trying to be sad

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I don't remember that happening

The end of LA Noire got to me. I still can't play the last case without tearing up.

Genshin has had me tearing up in a few of its main story quests, beautiful game

The ending of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Such a wonderful soundtrack an story.

Probably one that doesn't get recognized much. In Anachronox, when you find out what happened to Fatima on "that night".

[–] Cybersteel@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Kanon, Air, Clannad etc

A game has never made me cry, but movies and shows make me cry all the time. Even the most emotional game just doesn't come close to other mediums.

One of the biggest ones that permanently etched in my mind from childhood is the ending to Metropolis, especially when that one Ray Charles song comes on.
