Has a Video Game, Movie or Television Show Ever Made You Cry?

Jason Young of GameZone asks: "[Chuck's Season Finale] was epic in every sense of the word; and I must admit that even though I saw it coming from a mile away, it didn’t lessen the dramatic effect for me. I still bawled, largely due to the smartly edited composition and the use of Nico Stai’s ‘One October Song.’ That said, this got me thinking about other favorite sad moments in video games and television...What game, television show or movie has made you bawl your eyes out?"

Television show? No not unless anime is counted in which case it would be yes.

Movie? No

Games? Yes. Lost Odyssey, Persona 3(if you knew what the ending meant when it happened it's sad) Final Fantasy VII, Valkyria Chronicles and a few more I'm to lazy to remember.

It's this simple. When you spend upwards of 10-60 hours(depending on the game) with a particular world and it's characters you are going to get MUCH more attached to them and care what happens. It's hard for me to care about a character in a movie when they are so short.(that's just my personal feelings on it not a fact or anything) You never get time to connect unless it's a series of movies and there hasn't been a series of movies like that for me and the same goes for a TV show(again unless you count anime)

StanLee5085d ago

Book; Of Mice and Men, if you don't know read it
Movie; Bugsy, when they killed Bugsy
Video game; Gears of War 2, got teary eyed when Dom had to off his wife.
Television show; Highlander, when Tess died.

yess5085d ago

I admit to let a tear fall, when playing games.
I was watching Eden Lake yesterday, and it was damn close again, but i had to swallow it, and remind my self about it's fiction...

piroh5085d ago

RAZORLAND5085d ago (Edited 5085d ago )

Saving a certain main character from hanging in Red Dead, I found myself really wanting to rescue her. when I did I got a little misty eyed. First time in a video game.

HolyOrangeCows5085d ago

Do we need this same type of article every week?

MiamiACR5085d ago (Edited 5085d ago )

MGS3 ending almost made me cry.....almost, it was so perfect and heartbreaking at the same time. Then the credits rolled and played the only song that would have fit, I almost lost it.

Army_of_Darkness5085d ago

the ending to that movie made my eyes watery... when it comes to heroes fighting to the death and dies with honour.. I get teary eye...

The Lost finale made me cry and some movies have made me cry also. I don't think a game has yet... keep trying devs ;)

-Alpha5085d ago

I've never cried but Lost has given me many heart-warming moments.

As for games Shadow of the Colossus comes damn close.

Silentmerc3nary5085d ago

Yup, Lost for me, too. Only in the Series Finale though. Charlie and Claire man, good stuff; That's what got me.

Lozo5085d ago

When jack is talking to his dad and just starts ballin'

MGS4 got to me too.

movements5085d ago

Nah, no game has ever made me cry really. I'd be lying if I said yes. Movies on the other hand have: Titanic and My girl...

DuneBuggy5085d ago

Agreed.Two good movie examples BTW.Funny thing is no movies could possibly make me shed a tear untill I got older.

movements5085d ago

Oh wow, it happened when I was younger, and I suspect it would still happen today.

I almost cried for Avatar when I thought the "Aliens" were going to win the battle.

But you guys know what happened in the end! Love FTW!

boodybandit5085d ago (Edited 5085d ago )

I was trying to remember if I ever cried during a movie and I couldn't recall any until I saw your post. My Girl had that one seen that almost broke me. Where Vada lost it over Thomas's casket definitely had me on the verge of a meltdown. That was a seriously sad scene.

Thanks! Now I feel like a Nancy <- quoting Frank from Everybody Loves Raymond

movements5085d ago

LOl you're welcome bandit! That scene you just mentioned was something else.

Great movie.

theunleashed645085d ago

i have to say far as in video games mgs4 did and it is the only and i mean only game to make me cry.

SA1NTofKILLERS5085d ago

Didn't cry, but came pretty close.

cranium5085d ago

I think that the MGS3 ending is sadder. They're both awesome emotional endings, but I think that MGS3 beats out MGS4 in this.

RumbleFish5085d ago

100% agree! have a bubble!

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow202d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga201d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183201d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB201d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo201d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic200d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

FFX and FFX-2 Do Not Need a Sequel

As a complete duology, Final Fantasy X and X-2 just do not need a sequel. These games provided us with satisfying conclusions to the characters' journeys and meaningfully wrapped up their arcs. And after the terrible way -Will- presented its narrative, feeling more like an attempt to capitalize on the previous game's success than a well-crafted and meaningful sequel, that's all the more reason to just let FFX be what it already is. Any further attempts to force a sequel will only diminish the legacy and impact of Final Fantasy X and X-2.

If they do another one, I'd really like to see more of a focus on the connection to FF VII. Since it was confirmed that they take place in the same world. Let's just keep the pop star element out of it for the next one... I really enjoyed X-2 as a game, but man that decision for Yuna and Rikku's character direction wasn't the right choice.

shinoff2183330d ago

The connection to 7 would be dope af. I can even begin to think how'd they do it. I mean storywise and stuff I know about the Shinra stuff and everything. I'd be down with a 10 3

-Foxtrot330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

Nope

https://www.finaland.com/?r...

It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously

"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote"

Thank God anyway

It's better when each FF is a different Universe

Snookies12330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

Except, it is canonically connected in the VII Remake. There's a Shinra character in X-2, who is actually shown in a picture on the wall in the Shinra HQ in Remake. Meaning at the very least, X and VII share the same world in the Remake version.

CrimsonWing69330d ago

@Snookies12

I thought they said that was just a joke:

―It’s a sequel to VII?!!
Kitase: “No, that was halfway a joke. However, in FFVII’s ending, Holy was supposed to settle things, then it’s suddenly ‘500 years later,’ and there’s been nothing like a sequel for it. There’s room to fill in that gap. There’s room for imagination. Since Nojima-san and Toriyama-san have worked together since then, talk that it could be possible with those staff members built up for a moment.”

―So, how did talk of it as a sequel to VII come up?
Nojima: “I felt that VII and X had a relatively connected feeling, that VII has an essence there.”

―Ehh, so VII and X are connected?
Nojima: “No, there isn’t much to it. For example, what happens when people die is fundamentally the same in my mind. I wrote both stories following the same idea. At times, other thoughts pop up, though. Pyreflies are green here and there, and other colors besides.”

https://thelifestream.net/c...

I think they were just having fun and making a gag out of it.

Name Last Name330d ago

@Snookies12 those are just easter eggs

-Foxtrot330d ago

@Snookies12

Easter eggs man nothing more

Like I said it's better for them to have their own Universe then being connected

I mean think about it...FFVII and FFX are completely different outside of those small little things, the worlds are like Night and Day

Flawlessmic331d ago

Nope but I sure would love a remake of ffx, my fav ff game along with 9.

JokerBoy129330d ago

Oh man, never thought I'd see someone with the same favorites as me lol. We're supposedly getting a remake of 9 at some point. I'm hoping we get something new from the FFX universe.

shinoff2183330d ago

I cannot wait for the remake of 9. It's got me pumped and it's not even official. Ff9 is damn near perfect imo

Abnor_Mal330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

I just saw a video about a rumor that Sony may have secured the rights for FF9 exclusivity for some possible remake.

Skip ahead to the 2:30 mark

Okay didn’t see others already said it

gold_drake331d ago

technically, they already do. in form of a novel and audio thing.

but .. i dunno. ive always wanted a prequel with the three guys.

not sure what else there is to tell about Spira.

shinoff2183330d ago

Sorry for the spoiler if true

Is it true if you complete x2 100 percent tides comes back in some way. I never 100 percented it.

Name Last Name330d ago

Yes, the Fayth ask Yuna if she wants to see him and they dream him up again.

shinoff2183330d ago

Thanks. That pretty much what I read.
