Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

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

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

In Enderal (an absolutely amazing, totally free game that runs on the Skyrim engine - if you own Skyrim you owe it to yourself to play Enderal), at the end of Esme's questline, sitting on top of the lighthouse and discussing the events of her story.

Esme quest spoilersIf you've ever had a loved one who struggled with mental illness or depression, and you just couldn't help them, it hits like a ton of bricks

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

I'm not really a crier when it comes to games, but what brought me close most recently was when I was doing a run of the entire Metro trilogy for the first time.

Spoiler ahead for Metro Exodus

If you're doing the good ending run of Metro Exodus, then you spend most of the game beating the odds and being able to save everyone...

So watching Colonel Miller, someone you become fairly attached to throughout the series, succumb to radiation poisoning while you drive out of Novosibirsk, knowing that there was absolutely nothing I as the player could do but watch was heart-wrenching.

He'd completed the mission, but he just couldn't make it home - it's such a bittersweet ending, but including his speech at the end, it's a good one.

Breath of the Wild, during one of the memories.

Also Undertale. Left me with a large mess of feelings at the end.

[–] Cordyceps@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

For me it was The Last Guardian's ending.

[–] Tetcher@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Arven's dog. He's a good boy.

[–] Shocker_Khan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Phantom Brave, when Marona finally makes a real friend. I lose it every time.

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

[–] Ilflish@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Cybersteel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Kanon, Air, Clannad etc

[–] mceldritch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I don't remember that happening

[–] the16bitgamer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] CharlesReed@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] thejodie@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Playing against Xero on Nightmare! setting.

[–] Nihilore@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] gridleaf@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.

"Trust me."
