/vr/ - Retro Games

The whole love baloon on a battlefield talk in MGS. Though I was a pissy-eyed little kid when I first saw it.

>>1947753
You posted it.

>>1947753
When a played a vidya for the first time.

>>1947753

Not retro but No More Heroes 2 actually made me pretty angry at the end.

I'm sorry Alice...

You're good...

...but I'm better.

When Frog opened the magic cave to Magus' castle. Behold the power of the Mesamune...

And then when mother brain killed the last metroid. That bitch HAD to die then

I guess FF6's ending, the Interceptor part

Man I still get feels from that scene.

Watching the moon fall on Majoras Mask.

Also,
If Aeris's body sinks, then what is Cloud standing on?

>>1947908
FF6's entire ending almost makes me cry. I'm fucking 25 years old.

The ending song of FF9. I held back the tears as much as I could because it's cheesy as all hell and I didn't want to admit to myself I was about to bawl to it.

>>1948138
It's been 16 years since I played, but wasn't it like this?

>>1947753

You've become so strong, Fox.

>>1947764
God, you are a faggot. All that did was make me roll my fucking eyes. How fucking gay are you? On a scale of 1-10?

>>1947801
I couldn't even finish that game.
The final boss had a teleporting punch combo attack, which is untelegraphed, hits several times in succession and lasts longer than your dodge iframes; he hits you, you're fucked. And whenever I got close to winning through predictive kiting, he'd just instagib me by knocking me straight out the window.

Anyway, probably Majora's Mask.

Beating Link's Awakening. I was sad for two reasons: 1) Because of what happened in the game 2) Because it was over. I was 7.

The next game to make me feel was many years later when I was 12. It was Ocarina of time. Again I was sad because it was over.

No game has made me feel again since then except very recently when I completed The Last of Us.

These are the only three games that ever gave me feels. Nothing else, ever.

>>1948379
Did you draw that? I'll smile if you did.

>>1948426
>Link's Awakening.

Played and beat this for the first time last week (DX version, yes I'm late) and the story really got me, especially at the end.

Can't remember the first time unfortunately.

MM2 when dr. light gives you item 2 i felt the tears welling up

never felt that before or since

Aerith a shit

>>1948462

lol @ hipsters trying to make a contest out of feels.

Not retro, but MGS3's ending hit me kinda hard. Still does.

For a different kind of feel, my early experiences with Civilization III made me feel panic and depression as I watched my entire empire get conquered by some other yahoo. Even worse, I played on Settler.

Probably the ending to Super Metroid.

Dragon Quest 7.

Eri the robot.

Wanted nothing more than to make soup for her master ;_;

I remember playing Earthbound around the time I was leaving middle school and when I reached the endgame after the final boss I just kinda broke down because of the music playing. It really made me think about my future I guess, it really had that sort of feeling about it. I remember having the same reaction to that part near the end of senior year too, though the tears were more manly.

>>1948379
No

star fox 64's hard ending

i had one life left and i had no idea there was a different ending, and for an 8 year old that final level was crazy

>face off against upgraded nemesis team in their ace fighters
>final boss turns out to be different and rather difficult
>tense as fuck escape sequence, trying to keep up with fox's dad
>falco finally respects you

>>1947753
Ya got me OP right from the start

>>1947753

Probably the end fight to MOTHER 3,

>>1948543
>>>/v/

>>1948543
The ending to Earthbound hit me in the gut, and I played that game for the first time a year ago.

>>1948379
I can't stop laughing

>>1948517
I think there was some kind of underwater shelf then.
Because Cloud very clearly wades into the water with Aeris. And even he can't tread water up to his waist while holding a corpse.

The ending of Link's Awakening and the Flute Boy dying in A Link to the Past were definitely some of my earliest video game feels.

>>1948840
!!!

Not very vr, but the ending of Mega Man Zero 4 made me shed a few tears.

The first game to make me cry my 9yo tears was Yellow version, only because my saves were up and I had to reset the 'dex.

Super Metroid gave me a completely different feel, one of intrigue, anxiety, solitude, and I didn't play that for another 15 years.

>>1948856
I know, but it's still pretty sad all the time.

Plus all those brainwashed soldiers you kill...

And your uncle, of-course.

The flute boy just hits hard though, since you get a real feel for his sense of sadness, his loss, and then the same for his father.

>>1947753
when I failed at bringing cid enough fish in the world of ruin and he died and celes jumped off the cliff to kill herself then fails and the dove flies in with locke's bandana and she realizes she almost gave up while her friends were still alive.

cried like a motherfucker. To be fair I was 12.

>>1948923
>Don't worry uncle mario, I'll save the princess

>>1948414
Don't ever give up, my son.

>>1947753
the first time i whipped the fuck out of a bat in cv i cried tears of euphoria.

I always tear up when CIA dies.

>>1947753
not retro, but John Marston

>not retro
Then don't post.

>>1948138
He's not standing on anything. He's still alive so he is buoyant and is floating because he is still filled with air. She's not, so she'll naturally sink as soon as he lets go. Just go to a pool and try it, it's super easy to stay upright in deep water.

>>1949036

>not games
Then don't post.

My first wasn't retro (PW:AA:T&T, at the end of the final case with the final OBJECTION), but the first game I remember completing is Sonic the Hedgehog. I was so excited I tried to use the cat flap and got stuck for a good 5 minutes. hashtag yolo

Your dad accidentally built the worst AI ever.
Your dad then tries to kill you through the entire game.
Your dad knew that death was better than the AI's plan.
To trick you down into the core to replace him with you.
Which is what your dad tried to stop the entire time.

Moral of the story, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

>>1948483

FUCK I got to that part the other day.

>that part where they start breaking apart Eri

>>1950095
What game? Sounds pretty cool.

>>1950139
Beneath A Steel Sky
P&C Adventure not afraid to kill you (but not unfair), so a walkthrough might come in handy.

>>1948426
>>1948454
Did you beat it with zero deaths?

Google has the spoilers for what that does of course.

>>1948936

That was me at 12 as well

Mario. So deep.

First Resident Evil, then Final Fantasy 8.

Right here. I was probably about 5 years old and I remember getting so goddamn excited that I finally beat the game.
Little did I know that I still had to beat the lost world to get the real ending...

>>1950209
>>1948454

It made me teary eyed when in Wind Waker the pear thing turned me into a seagull. I never got that special ending though, but I think I googled it.

Silent Hill 2, the In Water ending. It was the first ending I got ever in the game, and it hit me right in the heart. I started crying like a baby towards the end of Mary's letter. Say what you want about the quality of voice acting in the game, but Mary's VA did a fantastic job conveying emotion during that part.

I guess FFVII was the game that gave me feels, particularly thIs scene. I liked all the scenes with Aeris. Chrono Trigger was another one, though I didn't play it until 2000 or 2001. I read fanfiction after completing both games, to fill the void, and maybe some of it was even decent.

There was also something about Ufouria that me sad but I don't remember why. I was something like 10 years old.

definitely harvest moon.

tail of the sun tripped me out. still does.

I hated how they got better later.

Ocarina of Time. The music, the fact its the end of a long journey (I feel it shares a lot in common with Frodo's perspective at the end of Return of the King. There's a sort of melancholy at the end of such a grand journey), etc.

Harvest moon.

>>1950639

Man Nigga

>>1950639
First game was too upbeat and cartoony to feel anything.

>>1950630
I hated that about every character in the game outside the old man. It kills all the gravity and meaning of the situation to just go "lol they got better" at least 5 times in the same game.

Nobody else? Really?

>>1950639
>>1950668
>>1950676

She still loves you. And waiting for you on that farm.
I heard animal crossing gets you. But never played?

;_;7

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5EaTnkex1Q

Link's Awakening

Another kind of feel was Alpha Centauri, like "oh god, what the fuck am I doing to my people"

>>1950702
Animal Crossing gets you when one of your favorite neighbors moves away.

Or when you don't play for a while and then come back and your neighbors are like "I missed you. Where have you been?"

Or when you get a letter from a neighbor saying they miss you or whatever and then realize they've moved out of the town and you can't say sorry to them.

Or when you read that copypasta about the guy whose mom died and left him all those notes and presents in Animal Crossing...

I wish I could control the system clock better so that not too much time passes if I leave the town for months in real life. I only want a day or two to pass in game.

MGS, the death of Psycho Mantis.

"It's strange, it feels... kind of... nice..."

>>1947753
Might sound weak, but it was Resident Evil 2, Leon scenario B. Specifically when Ada "died" and Leon screamed her name in that wide shot of the whole power/generator room.

Powerful stuff when I was 14 (16 years ago...)

>>1950719
>not X1
X5's shittastic conclusion was insanely hamfisted.

>>1950791
That wasn't really his mom, though.

It taught me seething hatred

>>1951073
Oh, come on! It's the only thing X5 has got going for it, might as well praise it.

Zero dying has happened so many times I've become desensitized to it.

>>1951073
X5's ending still worked pretty well for me. It felt very conclusive.

I was shocked months later when I discovered there were more X games, but I didn't play them. I knew the X series was done.

>>1951383
>>1951269
"The sacrifice" comes out of fucking nowhere and it was an insanely hollow attempt to make Zero the hero.

This ending of Chrono Trigger.

>>1947753
Homeworld. It is extremely immersive, and when their home planet was destroyed by an artificial supernova created by your advanced enemies I legitimately cried. I don't know why it hit me so hard. Guess it was just the ride + music combination, but I have never felt from any game before or since Homeworld.

>>1951431

Just like in X1!

>>1950276
What fucking feels did RE give you and why?

>>1951708
Mmm, no. X1 actually has some satisfying foreshadowing if you bothered to pay attention to its meager dialogue. Your mentor tells you that you may become the most powerful force the world has ever seen and you get to prove it by taking down an enemy your role model could not. Too bad they pissed away that sacrifice by bringing him back.

X5, on the other hand... You're playing the game to the final boss and win and then suddenly, oh wait no you actually didn't it was some red faggot who beat him for you.

>>1950276
Any ending theme gives me big feels in a RE game.

>>1951715
Why did you decide to single out RE in this thread of all things?

The ending few scenes of KH1. I was about 12 years old at the time.

>>1948138
Cloud's entire presence in that game was a jesus metaphor

>>1950528
phoenix downs canonically in FFVII relieve being knocked the fuck out, not death

>>1950276
>>1951738
Might as well post this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vzr-XyAssc

Probably seeing the credits in Super Mario World. I can hear that music in my head as Mario walks back to Yoshi's house.

>>1951726
I actually fully blame Inafune for that.

Zero was designed to be the hero of the X series, but Capcom wanted a more recognizable hero so X was born. I wonder what would've happened if Zero was the hero, or Zero stayed dead.

X went pretty downhill pretty fast, 1 2 3 4 are really good, with 4 teetering dangerously on terrible with the story taking more of a main stage, and 5 and 6 being questionable, with 6 being pretty fucking rough.

I don't remember the details but in FFVI or FFV, there is a part in the game where a single man keeps fighting even if his health is at 0 HP

It sure made me feel alright.

>>1951839

Actually, Inafune didn't want the X series to continue past x4. It was the last one he really had anything to do with as well. 5-8 were all made because Capcom figured they could continue selling them, and they're pretty terrible. Canonically, Zero dies and isn't reborn until the Mega Man Zero games. But Capcom just loves to wank on their IPs, yes they do.

>>1951887
X5 was Inafune's last one. X6 onward was Capcom's doing.

>>1951887
>Actually, Inafune didn't want the X series to continue past x4.
Not this shit again. The cancerous faggot greenlighted X5. Read that rockman perfect works thing, we have the facts now. You can stop trying to twist history to make it look like the series only went bad due to a lack of one shitty producer.

And X4 is garbage. Most likely because of him.

>>1951894

Inafune's involvement with X5 was nothing more than a memo to the team to make it the last one. He isn't listed as either director or (executive) producer on the staff list.

>>1948379
kek'd

>>1950010

Wait what? Dead people float all the goddamn time. Also, wouldn't her weight make staying afloat under internal buoyancy difficult (at least without him kicking in an undignified manner)?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txe5UbkbqK0

Seriously, a god damn kart racing game music track has no right to be this emotional.

Dude, are you saying you don't have feelings?

>>1952231
>Dead people float all the goddamn time.

Those that have been dead for some time and bloat due to gases created from decomposition? Absolutely.

People that were just killed and have no bloat? Fuck no, they sink like everything else that's denser than water.

The ending to secret of mana made me sad as a kid, the moment before you fight the mana beast where that conversation goes on between the three characters took me by surprise, and was sad for me 10 year old me.

earthbound also made had an effect on me, with the ending having you visiting some of the previous towns, and then looking back at the pictures that were taken with your mom. almost a tear jerker.

and lastly illusion of gaia, when you kill the last boss and your riding the comet where your father explains to you what is happening to the world and then you see the world map change, and then when both the father and mother disappear, you get closer to kara, and the happy yet sad music is playing, signaling the ending to a great adventure...... god i miss that shit......

>>1951431
Well it's the only thing I liked about X5 besides the X vs. Zero fight and it was an overall memorable scene.

>>1951839
X6 is much, much better than X5 in my opinion. I think X4 is one of the best X games right there along with X1.

>>1950209
I think you don't get the best ending when you steal something (which I did) either but I watched it right after I've beat the game.

The literal first time I remember I was like 5 or 6 and I was playing Oregon Trail on an ancient computer at my grandma's house. I named my party after my family and then forded a river and they all drowned so I cried.

The most recent was probably beating Soul Silver and getting the updated version of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txzD9iHBu-w
The nostalgia was just too much I couldn't take it.

>>1948518
Those feels

>>1952527
>JRPG
>name the the MC after yourself
>name a female partymember after that girl you like
>she hooks up with another partymember

kotor 1 probably, dark side ending is pretty evil.

before that I was either too young to really understand to get feels and just cared about the gameplay or I simply didn't care.

>>1948923
I thought the flute boy part was sad because you got to witness the transformation from flesh-and-blood boy to inanimate, lifeless tree. You witnessed his humanity fade away.

Your uncle is fine per the ending. Where he disappeared to between his bout of heartburn in the prologue and the ending is beyond me, though.

Allegedly the soldiers' design were meant to imply that they weren't brainwashed Hylrulians, but magically animated armor. Early spritework exists for soldiers that are clearly men in armor. Of course, the game's own text contradicts that.

Katt campfire scene from BoF2

>>1952861
The first and the only by now

>Go play Star Fox 64
>Wesker voice in the narration
>Mfw

>>1947753
In Ultima VII's expansion, the Serpent Isle, learning about what happened to Lord Blackthorn after his exile, how he made peace with everything and moved on.
It was really cool to hear about him again, made me feel so sentimental I had to go back and play Ultima V again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXTbp5dy9os

This used to make me cry when I was like 3-4, but not in the way of like "I'm 3 or 4 so anything I don't like makes me cry" but like that it actually caused me to feel sad for some reason.

At least as far as I remember. Maybe I was just a dumb kid and cried about it for no reason.

>>1953962
>This song made me want to get comfy and take a nap--and I swear to God I did just that on more than one occasion.

>>1950276
Ff8 makes me sad as well. But I usually get upset at the end of most rpgs.

>>1950718
Especially with all of the shit they go through the entire game. Definately the best out of the series.

>>1948138
This. Made me cry like a bitch for hours.

My mom took me out for ice cream to make me feel better.

>>1954026
while thinking "where did I go wrong?"

I seriously hope you were under the age of 8 at the time.

>>1954029
7. And it was some great ice cream.

>>1954036
So I guess your mom went wrong when she gave a 7-year-old a Teen rated RPG.

>>1954039
Hey. One of us was thinking 'Where did I go wrong'. The other wasn't. Think that says most of it.

>>1947753
I cried when I beat Star Fox 64.
I dont know why to this day. I guess it was just the feeling of the adventure ending. I was pretty bad at games as a kid and it took me a while to beat games.

Pretty much every fucking scene starting at about a 1/3 through Chrono Trigger

Ending of KH1 was frustration sadness. Chain of Memories was feelsy but too much optimism to be actually sad. 358/2 Days was absolute hell, but it wasn't until I played KH:3D and Riku says "Who are you?" to Xion WHEN HE CLEARLY HAD MET HER BUT FORGOTTEN BECAUSE SHE DIED OH MY GO. Or the Corrupted Data Riku fight in re:coded, because beating the shit out of your best friend while listening to that music is something no person should go through.

For something not KH, Professor Layton 3: The Unwound Future has a horridly depressing ending. You join up with this woman who looks strikingly similar to your love from your college years who died in a horrific time machine explosion. Then you find out like thirty minutes before it's too late that the machine worked but she's 'unstable' and has to return to the point the explosion would have killed her. So 10 fucking years of unresolved loss just got the absolute WORST closure you could ever experience. And if you understand Layton's character, for him to actually cry is just...shit. And it is a PUZZLE GAME.

10 years old. Earthbound.

This fucker right here.
>final boss was awesome though

accomplishment

I had played and Final Fantasy Tactics on the PS1 and watched my older brother beat it a couple times, but it wasn't until War of the Lions came out that I actually played for the story and came to sympathize with Wiegraf and Milleuda's plight and Ramza's underdog struggle to show people the truth.

>>1954294
>>1948426
I played LA for the first time a few months ago and felt many feels.

>>1954819
and some fucker extracted his alternated theme that plays at the end into a 30min version

I fucknig love FFTA

Is FFT any good? what system should i emu it on?

>>1954782
I love how they absolutley pull the rug from under your feet. They make you believe you might save her, hell you can still buy equipment for her in the town she's beridden in.

Then this happens.


I couldn't bring myself to sell the equipment I got fer her, for when she got better. So I went back to her house and discarded it there.

ITT: muh waifu diez so ah wahhhh and emos.

And a few real feels. +1 internets to you guys. You know who you are.

It got to be the ending of Terranigma when i was little.
After the pain of the final boss, you end up dying anyway, you say goodbye to your doomed town and your love, and then this scene happens...some tears slipped :'(

http://youtu.be/TPe7NFns0g4?t=10

That final fight with Xion really did it for me. that fucking music, man.

>>1954819
This was probably my first. I didn't have a Dreamcast, so I beat it alone in my friends basement. That badass fight with E-101 Mk. II, and then...>>1955720, followed bu the credits playing his regular theme, those feels. My friend asked me why I was crying when he finally came back, I had to explain that it was because a fucking robot blew up.

>Kirby Super Star
In Dynablade's ending when Kirby notices that Dynablade had babies, so he decides to raise them, teach them to fly, and finally setting them free as he waved at them over the horizon.

And in the same game I also had feels during the credits roll of the Revenge of Metaknight.
I had a real hard time finishing that game (at age 6 maybe), so the whole sequence felt really great.

For me there were several moments in Soulblazer that were pretty sad.

>>1947753
Actraiser. The city-building part where you rained tears over a dying guy in front of your temple. That was powerful shit to me at the time.

I was 11 years old when I was taught the horrors of war and genocide.

>>1959685

Was that also when you bought your first fedora?

>>1959696
Not him, but is that really necessary? Flute Boys and Dynablades pass muster, but something that serves as a teachable metaphor for real live horrors is "fedora?" I guess I shouldn't expect much more from someone who responds to things by way of Offical 4chan Thread Flow Chart.

>>1950636
I finished that game when I was 10 or 11 and didn't feel a thing back then.
Last year, I went to a Symphony of the goddess concert and cried like a bitch during the Ocarina of Time movement.

>>1947753

And then the final cinematic where everything is happy again. I really cared about that world, and seeing turn from darkness and desolation back to prosperity... feelsgoodman.jpg

>>1959862
Why?

not the first time vidya made me feel but the first that comes to mind
