I think Yakuza/Like a Dragon wins the crown for game series that’s made me emotional the most times. Majima seeing Makoto in the ending of 0 and in 2, Kiryu seeing the message the orphanage kids left him in The Man Who Erased His Name, Kiryu going on a tour of his old haunts in Infinite Wealth, Majima visiting Kiryu in the hospital at the end of Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii…there are plenty more, but those all came to mind. They really use the fact that we’ve been following these characters for decades to the fullest extent.
Interesting. I have the game but am still working through backlog before I play it. From the previews it always seemed kinda like absurdly humorous so I’m kinda surprised to hear that they mix in some more emotional chords
It has both in spades. Often the main story is where you find the pathos and the side stories is where it gets super goofy.

I love TLOU 1.
I am curious what part made you cry? Parts made me anxious and parts made me very relieved. None made me cry.
As a middle aged guy with a young daughter at the time, I cried at the opening and had to take a break before actually playing the game.
The end of Mass Effect 3 had me crying
The actual ending? Mordin was pretty moving to me.
“Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong”
that was a good moment!
Not the actual ending, but when shepherd passed out and was jolted awake by anderson. Anderson was directing them to the catalyst. I felt sheps exhaustion! Good stuff
“Jade Shadows” quest in Warframe.
Ayyyyy, fellow Warframe player! Not too many of us in the wild, huh?
Not on Lemmy at least.
