Have you ever cried with emotion with a game? Of course, it is possible. Stories are capable of moving, and in the case of video games, with each passing year, we have better and deeper stories. For that reason, we have stopped to think about 8 moments that shocked us to the point of breaking our hearts. Which ones are yours?
Part of the enjoyment of video games is in the emotion they convey . They do it through stories that touch the heart, that move us with well-constructed characters, with events that you don’t expect. It may be with the sacrifice of someone with whom you had established a strong bond. It can be with a farewell. It can be with many things: a confession, a battle, a melody … Games, like movies, know how to express themselves to provoke a lot of feelings.
And that’s the magic. A few weeks ago we talked to you about video games that moved us , that had that special something to make us cry. On this occasion we have focused the objective on specific moments , on those moments that overwhelmed us. Of course, there are many. The moment you take the master sword in Zelda: Breath of the Wild , that mythical battle against The Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3 , the moment you know the truth behind BioShock Infinite or, for example, the unfortunate stories that What tells Remains of Edith Finch .
Of course, we do not all have the same threshold of emotion, and the harshness of what we live in CoD: Modern Warfare 2 , with the mission “No Russian”, is not the same as the scenic beauty that Journey left us . There’s always room for excitement, though, and there should be, from the unexpected sacrifice we witnessed in the finale of Super Metroid to the stark denouement with which we were surprised in Red Dead Redemption . There is no game too old for this.
Has a video game made you cry with emotion?
The endings are usually emotional for a reason: to leave a strong memory in the playerThe endings are usually emotional for a reason: to leave a strong memory in the player. However, this special is not only about endings ( because we already talked about that on another occasion ). In fact, you will see that there are very emotional moments that occur at the beginning and even in the middle of the adventure . There are no written rules and every video game knows where to place its own climax. If not, where would be the ability to surprise us? Here you will find sweet moments, more bitter, but always with a common denominator: the possibility of making us shed the odd tear.
And about that we wanted to ask you precisely: is there a video game that really excites you? Did you ever cry with anyone? What moments are your favorites? Have you experienced any of the ones mentioned in the video? You already know that our reports are not complete without the voice of the community , so we hope you will tell us a lot in the comments.
