      I've cried at the endings of so many video games. The most hard-hitting for me have been MGS3 and MGS4, Final Fantasy IX, and Nier (the original, not Automata, although I did cry at the end of Automata too)

      I think part of it is the wistful "omg it's over" feeling that amplifies it for me, but also I think it's just generally easier for me to get emotionally invested in games (assuming they have a good narrative).

        Silent Hill 2

        ! , when we watch Maria die the first time I felt guilty about not being able to save her, I was shocked when she suddenly appears again unharmed as if nothing had happened at all.. and then that ending, so horrible and devastating, it made me feel empty inside.

          Been getting emotional on Outlast 2 currently…BECAUSE IT'S SCARY AS FUCK.  I have felt nauseous a couple times lol

          I suppose feeling sad would be Life is Strange.  Holy crap does that game really pull you into the story.

            Journey.

            A breath-taking game, you basically just walk through a desert, hoping to reach your destination. There is no talking in Journey, and there is no fighting. You walk and jump, and you let out a single tone…

            It seems like its nothing... but dear jesus, I was heavily invested on an emotional level by the time I reached the end.

              @llibyor:

              Has anyone else ever gotten really emotional over a video game?
              I know I was watching a trailer for Kingdom Hearts 2.5 remix and I was on the verge of tears.
              Just curious

              Kingdom Hearts has me invested each game.

                Final Fantasy 8, 9 and 10-2 (the 100% ending)
                Maria ending in Silent Hill 2

                I can't remember KH1, but I'm just going through with it right now, as I bought the 1.5+2.5 edition last month.

                    I got attached to MGS and Final Fantasies of course. Loved the games, they made me. But I think it's not getting emotional over it. I mean they didn't make me cry or anything like that but they were a huge part of my life.

                    The games that really made me sad and all stressed up about what's gonna happen were definitely THE WALKING DEAD, HEAVY RAIN and above all LIFE IS STRANGE. They're the fucking killers. LiS episode endings are just too much. Literally, there are so many moments when you're like FUCK what did just happen, why did it happen. The soundtrack didn't make it any easier.

                      Are we only talking about getting teared up emotionally? Because I'm already on my 4th controller of the year.

                        Ori and the Blind Forest is a real tear-jerker.

                        Heavy Rain really punched me in the gut… I was afraid to play that game with my parents nearby. It's basically a parental-trauma in the first 20 minutes or so.

                          I'm not really into it, and i don't like movies like this but "Fragments of Him" get me. After i had a few days thinking about this game.

                            I'll admit I got teary eyed after watching the ending of KH2. When Kairi let her hand out for Sora to grab said "you're home" , I almost lost it!

                            Other than that, I can't really recall getting that emotional when playing video games.

                              I remember being devastated by Aerith death in FFVII, I was too young back then and didn't expect it at all.

                                  NieR: Automata unexpectedly got me in tears. I didn't expect the feels to rush at that moment.

                                      Sometimes I get emotional, yes, mostly with RPG type of games, like Final Fantasy or Tales of games. Most recently, maybe with Until Dawn, when a character I really liked died because of a stupid mistake.

                                        OMG!!! Me tooo! Tales of series aren't famous as final fantasy series but its stories are always make me breathless.

                                          A few games had me getting emotional. Final Fantasy 10 had my eyes watering at the end. Final Fantasy 15 was very emotional at the end. I thought that game had one of the best emotional payloads. It's still one of my more favorite games. The Mass Effect games brought some good emotions out in me because of the great voice acting.

                                            I get pretty emotional when I put a lot of time and energy into a game like Dragon age: Inquisition (especially since I played all three games) whether or not the game itself is serious or not sometimes I even stop for a week or two just to delay the inevitable.
