I shouldn't admit this, considering the game gets so much hate on the internet but......I cried during Metroid: Other M. It wasn't even about the game or anything, either. I played Super Metroid back in 1994 and it was a great game. More recently, I played Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission so I don't know why it didn't happen with those games. Anyway, I was trying to figure out a particular puzzle that had taken me a long time to work out. I solved that puzzle (it wasn't even that complicated, now that I think about it) and suddenly, I felt like a kid again. I don't know when the last time I felt like that was.

I felt like I was back at my mom's house, my grandma was still alive, and all sorts of old emotions that have long sense faded were triggered by a video game puzzle. I cried so hard that I had to turn the console off. Hell, I'm actually getting a little misty eyed while typing this post. It's crazy. Maybe I have some sort of psychological disorder or something. I'm afraid that if I go to a psychiatrist, I'll find out that I was molested by a metroid or something.


A tear is running down my right cheek this very moment!! I don't know why!

People can be so cute sometimes. Too bad they're jerks the next minute, but it's these moments that make me glad I'm part of the same species.

Awwwwwwwwww! I kinda do the same thing whenever I hear "Within the Giant" from FF4. It was the first Final Fantasy I played, and it was such an epiphany for me that I took over my grandparents' TV 24/7 for a few days until I beat it. The song was so powerful, I remember just putting down the controller and pacing around the room and taking in how far I'd come. Just hearing it today takes me back to '92 when I didn't have a care in the world, except for having to walk to school uphill both ways through a blizzard.

As for actual games, there are a few that come to mind:

 

*SPOILERS, SORT OF*

 


 

1. Lost Odyssey - Twice, actually: the scene with Lirum that gets everyone, but watching Jansen grow from a chickenhearted fop into a real man spoke to me even more. I should try that sometime!

2. Yakuza 3 - RIKIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

3. Heavy Rain - When Jason gets his stupid ass run over. Laughed 'til I cried.

^^^And Badgenome's post reminds me: When I hear "To Faraway Times" from Chrono Trigger, I get that way. I just think of all I've been through, how the characters are living their lives in their own times, and I don't know. Some other emotions that I can't describe. It gets me every time. And I just got Chrono Trigger for the DS (to play on my 3DS) two days ago. It's going to happen again, soon!

Fuck yeah, that's a great one. Hell, the first comment is from a 54 year old Pakistani terrorist who was typing through his tears!

I'm crying right now just listening to it, thinking about how useless Square-Enix has become. *insert cartoonish nose blowing sound here*

I just saw that!  A long time ago, I posted that I was a cop and that song made me cry.  I got a lot of thumbs up for that comment.  Now, I re-read the comments and there's a ton of comments parodying my comment!!  I laughed out loud, just now!

Um, no. Not even remotely close. It's a game. A video game. I would not be able to bring myself to cry while playing a video game. That is the definition of childish =P

I mean no offense to you but I think that anyone who believes that doesn't take videogames seriously: on the contrary, he takes videogames as a childish thing and is kind of ashamed of it.

Have you ever cried by reading a book?

I feel related to what you say here. My  thriggers are ususally music pieces.

Hey, I was one of those thumbs up in your "to far away times" comment on youtube!

LMAO. That makes it even funnier.
