Games that make you cry?

[JC]

Here's a sappy article written by the other gender: HERE. It asks an interesting question, not only if a video game has made you cry , but what other emotions video games tap into. I think of the good feeling I get by reading the "love and friendship" message of the "good ending" in Bubble Bobble. I also think of the frustration of something like SMB2j and its damn maze that I can't ever figure out, and when I do, I forget the path by the next time I play. A lot of people also point to the anger of cop-killer games.

Metal Gear Solid 3, every single time.

The original Ninja Gaiden series was always emotionally invoking, especially the first one: from the "death" of Ryu's father to the sunrise at the end.

I never cried because of something that happened in a game. But there were some times where I got a little emotional and warm playing games I hadn't touched for ages that I loved as a child.

I cannot think of a game that ever made me cry, but I can think of tons that made me mad, or happy.

Edit- I changed my mind, when I saw the end of Uninvited; it made me cry as it was a let down. The rest of the game was fabulous though, and thats why its my all time favorite videogame.

Yes, Metal Gear Solid 3 is probably the saddest one I've played. The ending can really choke someone up. But try MGS4. Also see Seiken Densetsu series.

I finished 4 over the summer when I got my PS3, and I gotta tell you...it was sad, but in a different way. 4 was almost triumphant in a sense, although with a sad undercurrent. 3 is just flat out nihilistic, like nothing you did in the game was for the best and it was all futile.

I hate to sound like a snerd, but I did get a little teary eyed in Chrono Trigger when Frog visited Cyrus' grave.

Until now I haven't encountered a game that could educe a tear from my eyes. Movies and books yes, games no.

ET can definitely make you cry.

[133MHz]

Yeah, the movie AND the Atari 2600 game.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the NES will make you cry because it is such a horrible, horrible game. 

[FamicomFreak]

If that's the case then try Home alone and Ghostbusters for the NES as well.

Remember the beginning of Rayman 2? With all the creature in cages, crying for help? I hadn't even known video games as well as I do now, and that was the first time a video game made me cry. I dreamt of helping everyone and kicking the person who made them suffer's arse. Then I'd pull his neck out, use it as a clothesline, and use his head as a pinata beore slitting his throat and... ... I guess I got carried away. But yeah.
