Ever played a game where some moment happened where you feel something slowly moving down your cheek? You touch what it is and realize it's a tear? You're crying. You're actually crying because of something in a video game touched you. Touched you right there... in your heart.

*Points to your heart*

Tear jerking moment that I had was the ending to Metal Gear Solid 4. The first game that ever made me shed a tear. I shed a tear when I saw Snake helping Big Boss because he's slowly dying. And that last moment where you can tell he's going to inhale the last of his cigar, he looks up and says, "This is good, isn't it?" And BAM! Big Boss dies in front of Snake. In front of you. The whole entire time this scene takes place in a cemetery. Beautifully designed too.


I almost had two more tear jerking incidents happen, both by the same creators... Damn you Quantic Dream.

Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls. Now note, I didn't cry or have any tears flow down my cheeks, but it almost happened.

With Heavy Rain, the moment you're playing as a young Scott and you see your brother drowning in a storm drain, you know shit is about to happen. You know this kid isn't going to live, but just how the scene played out, this is more dramatic than Jason dying when he and Ethan get hit by a car. It's because I guess you actually see him drowning. With Jason and Ethan, you hear the impact but you see the wife/mother screaming. You don't necessarily see them get hit.

And with Beyond: Two Souls, the scene when you're helping the homeless people out, Stan has kind of the more depressing part when Jodie talks to him as his wife.



So, what are your tear jerking moments?
