Tearjerking moments in video games

Post Reply New Topic

Haven't come close to crying in a videogame in years.

Limbo of the Lost. But you'll cry for different reasons.

Soo...I'm back on the WoW. Dinged 80 yesterday on my healadin.

I found a new tear jerker: the story of Crusader Bridenbrad.

He dragged over a dozen men to safety from the Scourge, but became infected with the plague in the process. The quest chain sends you to seek remedies from Remulos in Moonglade(who sends you into the Emerald Dream) and the dragon Alexstrasza. Both of these remedies fail to remove the plague from the Hero.

You head back to Tirion Fordring(back from exile, heading up the Argent Crusade- the combined forces of the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Argent Dawn). Tirion sends you to Shattrath to "speak" with the Naaru A'dal, who then sends you once again to Bridenbrad. When you talk to Bridenbrad once again, A'dal and two lesser Naaru appear with a beam of light that Assumes the Crusader into paradise.

BioShock has a couple of scenes that are emotional.

Fire Emblem is kind of upsetting when I lose a character I like in battle.

[quote="FieryGatoh"]Yeah, kind of -feels embarassed-

Teary eyed:
Metal Gear Solid - Sniper Wolf's death

Metal Gear Solid 4 - When Crying Wolf is carried away by that wolf, and Otacon says 'Welcome home Wolf'. That just kills me every time ^_^;;

ahaha. sniper wolfs death got me a bit aslo. this was prolly one of my top fav games ever to, right up there with shenmue if you remember that one.

p.s. which one was twin snakes? was that the one with that blond haired raiden(sp?) guy that no one liked?

I would never cry over a videogame or movie for that matter but I'd have to say Shadow of the Colossus had a very depressing ending. What happens to the main characters sucks after all he went through....

When Blaze becomes the container of iblis

Come on, no one else has cried after playing the Mother 3 Fan Translation?

Lets see here

Mass effect: 2 missions in particular, The entirety of the "I remember me" Quest, and the end of the virmire mission. Those of you who have played will know why, but both of those are a real punch in the gut.

The end of LoZ: twilight princess is also pretty sad, knowing you'll probably never see midna again, after you've spent the game getting to like her, is pretty saddening.

I loved Fragments of Memories, and even wrote a midi by ear of it.

There have been some emotional moments in WoW:

I was rather touched, yet not quite mist eyed:

- The Nelf in Azuremyst that had his family massacred by the moonkin, then is reunited with his daughter that managed to escape.
- The story of Morgan Ladimore where he goes mad upon finding his family dead and kills a bunch of innocent people, then becomes the ghoul Mor'ladim.

Mist eyed, feeling surreal, partially admiring:

- Duskwood: The story of Jitters and how he witnessed The Black Riders slaughter Sven's wife and kids, and the bravery of the wife when she tried - almost successfully - misleading the Black Riders in order to save her children. So close, yet not quite!! That aspect made a bigger impact of tragedy on me.

Sobbed (not downright Niagara, but yes, a little):

- At the sight of the crocolisk captive in a cage in The Swamp of Sorrows :'( poor little thing....
- At the sight of the little gryphon, Sharpbeak, captive in a cage in the Hinterlands, before I was able to release it...so sad, helpless, miserable and worn out looking, like he'd given up all hope..with his head on the ground, tilted, a tear in one eye...that really broke my heart :'(

- Also, upon releasing Sharpbeak...he'll prawnce happily out of his cage out to his parents, and when they fly off the cliff he'll "chirp you goodbye"...aww!! ! So precious!! !...

...but I was drunk at these both incidents (yet the situations were quite moving also when reminiscing sober)! I believe that makes some difference (yeah, I like playing drunk) :p... but yes, I do generally have more sympathy towards animals than people.

Oh yes, another (drunken, touching occurrence): A quest by a certain Pamela's aunt's ghost to search for lil' Pam in Darrowshire, Eastern Plaguelands where she was hidden by the aunt with her trying to save themselves from the battle.
Upon approaching Darrowshire you'll find the village abandoned and demolished. The ghost of the little girl will be wandering around in a house which is stripped down to its bare frames....

"Hello. I'm Pamela, what's your name?"

"My auntie Marlene told me to stay here in our house because my father had to go and fight. My father's the bravest man in the whole world!
But I've been here for a long time, and he hasn't come for me. Sometimes bad people come and whisper to me and I want my dad to make them go away, but he's not here!
And sometimes when it gets dark I want to play with my doll but I can't because I left it in town.
Will you find my doll for me?"

so oblivious to her existential state...made me so emotional...she doesn't even know what's happened and is still so naive, innocent.. (in some ways even connected me emotionally to Aspie-traits) ...an undeserving victim of evil...
Eager to find her doll.. And I was very satisfied when delivering it to her... :>
