Still don't know why.

Ya dumb kid...

Every time.

mega man 2 was one of the earliest games i beat and probably my first dose of vidya feels. most memorable ending on the nes for me which was quite unexpected

Terranigma is the only game that's ever come close.

>>9426431
terra-what?

>>9426273
it's funny how he actually survives and then just shows up whenever the fuck he feels like it for the rest of the series

>>9426273
Why can't Americans into emotions?

>>9427047
Terranigma balls.

None because I'm not emotionally unstable and this invested in media.

>>9427302
What a faggot

Always get me.

>>9426287
Zero's ending was even more amazing

;_;

This shot from the ending of PSIV makes me feel things.

Ridge racer 4 ending always threaten to or do get a few tears to roll down my cheeks.

unironically the ending of Homeworld, although that might not be /vr/.
ending of Planetfall hit the feels pretty hard, too.

Not very /vr/ but I can't really think of anything that made me too emotional, so Klonoa 2 ending

A Mario game shouldn't get me this emotional, man

>>9426431
Me too bro.

I beat this game when I was going through a particularly rough patch in middle school, and it was really the only thing making me happy for a month or two. Now that I'm older and have replayed it a few times since, I still feel just as much emotion as I did reaching that finish line for the first time. Maybe more, since I'm not a kid anymore and never will be again.

actually made the whole experience come together, however messy it was

>get worked up over shadow dying on the floating continent
>find out he can be saved
>shadow stays behind while kefka's tower folds on itself
>doesn't show up on the airship
God that made me so fucking miserable to an otherwise cheerful ending. He really can't catch a break, can he?

Gets me every time.

Finished it a week ago but honestly can't remember much of the ending other than 'AAAH MY FACE RAZ HELP AAA' etc. Was there something in particular about that?

There's a few endings that get to me, though I don't think most of them were meant to be sad.

SMB2 is one of them. The melancholy music playing alongside the ghostly outlines of the cast, combined with Mario waking up briefly, looking around, then dozing back off, surely to forget the entire adventure by morning, certainly makes for a bittersweet ending.

Though SH2's comes close.

>>9426273
Kirby's Dream Land 2. It's so simple, but it works so well.

>>9426273
Mega Man 2. That segment is proof that the devs were truly expecting that game to be the last Mega Man game. They were unbelievably wrong, but it was a very nice way to end it before the original MM1 team split up.

>>9426273
Didn't make me cry, but I think it's pretty emotional and satisfying. Castlevania IV was such a special game for me

>>9430789
And I owe a huge part of it to AVGN's review of the game in the Castlevania special he made in 2010.

Still, when I finally got to play the game, it was such a special experience for me. It is my favorite Classicvania by far, and it teleported me back into the 90's, everything in this game reminds me of the 90's. It was a very intense experience

The song is what really makes Xenogears' ending stab you in the feels.

>>9426276
why does Tails have that gaping hole in his forehead? Did he get JFKed? That's brutal, Sega.
They should have not put anything inside his sprite

>>9429689
this actually got me. how did link survive? if it was all just a dream of the windfish not even link himself how did link escape and end up on the water???

>>9426287

>>9429357
I didn't really care as much for FF6 as the previous entries in the series, but that part always gets me.
At least his dog is taking care of his daughter now.

>>9426273
I played Lufia 2 without having played 1. I think I was probably 7 or so. I was truly caught off guard by the ending and I think it was the first ending of its type in a game for me.
I really love that game for a lot of reasons.

FF8 when Seifer is just hanging out with his autistic gf and nigga broski and the garden just passes them by

This shit hit hard especially back in the day if you didn't know what she looked like before hand.

i have no idea what youre talking about, i dont remember this at all. im talking about the end credits where it goes through photos of the interesting setpieces you visited before, different characters from the game hanging out, and it concludes with a group photo of the campus kids. the game was a bit messy but seeing all the setpieces one after another made me appreciate how creative it was and i understood that even though the game is clunky as hell in parts, it was really made with love.

So no books, movies or music has given you any emotional feelings at all? Fucking automaton

>WHO was that unknown being OPA-OPA fought with, so closely RESEMBLED HIM in shape, and was equipped with THE SAME FUNCTIONAL WEAPON? It was in reality, OPA-OPA's other self.
>Due to THE EMOTIONAL STRESS brought about as a result of A WAR DURING HIS CHILDHOOD, he developed A DUAL PERSONALITY of virtue and vice, unknown even to himself. Only HIS FATHER was aware of this fact.
>Splitting into 2 separate beings, he became in addition to his role as the HERO, the enemy's MASTERMIND, thus because of the PATERNAL BOND existing between them, HIS FATHER had NO ALTERNATIVE but to assume the role of THEIR LEADER.
>HIS FATHER sensed that OPA-OPA's PERSONALITY OF VICE plotted to throw the "FANTASY ZONE" into DISORDER. Parasitized by NENONS, OPA-OPA amplified DARK IMPULSE. So, using A REVERSAL WARPGATE called "GESTALT GATE", HIS FATHER made him dive into HIS INNER WORLD and DESTROY THEM ALL.
>As a result of OPA-OPA's courageous VICTORY, the evil being that has dwelled in him are now DESTROYED. Deepy moved, OPA-OPA can no longer contain his TEARS which signify his return to righteousness as they fall. OPA-OPA hopes that war will never occur...AGAIN.

if video games make you cry, you are a faggot.

Mario fell into a deep sleep...
And Mario dreamt his last dream...
It was a dream of becomming an albatoss...
...and seeing the world grow older.

This part of the ending specifically with Talon and Ingo always gets me. No idea why.

Its crazy, if you played the first game for even a few minutes you know damn well how this one ends, yet it doesn't lose even a fraction of its impact. What a fucking masterpiece of a game man.

>>9432093
I haven't thought about hopkin green frog in a hot minute. I hope he at least got a new one. I love you too, Terry.

>>9430789
Yeah, the masterful thing about that ending is the music. The whole game's music has a lot of range, from bombastic gothic anthem Simon's Theme to somber, moody stuff like the caverns, to quirky, fiendish ballroom music, but all of it, either high tempo or low tempo, sounds pretty dark and oppresive, like you're not ever really at peace, you're still going through an evil eternal night. Then, you defeat Dracula, and the sun rises, and the ending music reflects that. For the first time in the whole game, bright and celestial music plays. Maybe the password screen comes close but that's more like an adequate music for being in a safe place, like a church (in this case, the save screen, which has a church aesthetic). The music is bright, but not quite peaceful, you're still on a quest, just in a safe place. The ending is pure victory of the sun over the night, pure bliss, and very emotional.
What a soundtrack.

he was just under the water with his destroyed raft, a piece of the raft probably carried him to the surface. it's miraculous, but that's pretty normal for Link.

>>9430789
CVIV ending is cool but it's nothing compared to pic related
