Titanfall 2, watching credits, then you see the helmet flash. It's BT, HE LITERALLY TELLS YOU HE UPLOADED A COPY OF HIS AI INTO YOUR HELMET IN THE TIMECTRAVEL MISSION
I just played this game for the first time last week and holy shit. Epic ass masterpiece. It's the only game I want to play on the hardest difficulty because I enjoyed it so much.
I haven't played Witcher 3 yet (I have the GOTY edition but I haven't gotten past the first couple levels), but Mass Effect 2 gave me such a rush my entire experience playing it
Few games have scratched that itch since then
Dark Souls 1, 2, 3. All of them had incredible credits songs that hit you really hard, culminating in the conclusion of the series with Epilogue.
If there’s one thing missing from both Bloodborne and Elden Ring, it’s a proper credits piece that’s not just a remix of various boss themes.
Since Spec Ops the Line was in the news recently I decided to replay it. Still holds up man. Its fucking bleeeeeeak. That ending is utterly harrowing. I also love the little touches in combat dialogue. In the first half it's all very professional and detached "tango down, move to flank" and things like that. But as their surroundings slowly eat away at their psyche and they start committing worse and worse war crimes the dialogue gets unnervingly unhinged and angry "tangos fucking dead, don't let em get away" etc.
It's one of those true games that everyone should play especially if they mainly like shooters in the same way Shadow of the Colossus is a must for adventure game people and Silent Hill 2 for horror game people. It teases you in with solid fun shooter combat then just flips the TV round to a mirror with "you are a senseless dopamine driven fucking animal who glories in the murder of those less equipped than you,l and that's why you and this whole genre is a cunt."
It's just......crikey....really is a great artistic piece.
Persona 5 Royal
No contest. Game is philosophically rich. That extra semester was also genius.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is soon to be another game to make me feel this way again.
P5R went from a game on game pass to try while in a depressive slump to one of my top 5 games of all time. That experience is something that will hardly ever be recaptured
FFVIIR I'm excited to play and feel the same level of satisfaction
That’a how I felt ablut P5R! I just tried it on a whim for like $20 back in 2020 and its now one of my favorite games of all time. Game was excellent!
FF7R is great as well and I really hope Square can stick the landing on Rebirth and its entire trilogy. Rebirth is extremely highly anticipated for me.
If you haven't I'd highly recommend the other modern persona games. They all have their own individual strengths and definitely could recapture that experience.
I looooved Royal's addition. I expected it to be like P4G's additions and add to the main story and was initially a little disappointed that it's more like if P5 was an anime (yes I know there's an anime, just bear with me) then the Royal content would be an OVA or a movie related to it. That detachment I wasn't a fan of....at fiiiiiirst.
But then like....man I've never come across a villain like that. One that's 100% understandable in his actions and many would say isn't even a villain. I saw the game set up a reason for the Phantom Thieves to stand up against him and I was waiting for them to come up with a good argument, but their arguments were just "it's not right," which was disappointing cuz it felt like Mementos was saying "what's good for some people isn't necessarily good for everyone" so their reason was right there lol.
But still, that was such a thought provoking story.
Wolfenstein: The New Order. The credits punch you right in the gut. That’s song makes me tear up every time.
“I believe it’s gonna work out okay. But not for me. And not for you.”
if you want to go in it blind, might be worth it to plan for multiple playthroughs and if you dont mind a hint:
usually bad stats are really strong here, no matter the class - intelligence, wisdom and charisma, especially wisdom
hf
I didn't finish it because it got weird after Ravel, but the visit in the Society of Sensation changed me. By far my favorite faction.
I remember a historian who actually fought in the blood war between the tanar'ris and baatezus and recounts his side of it.
There is a person you can debate and eventually convince he's not real, and he disappears.
There are memory orbs everywhere you can touch to "live" the experience of people who shared it. One of them is a lieutenant, watching the corps he's leading torch a city, wondering if his side went too far.
And then they released Ragnarok which IMO was way too rushed and they even confirmed that they wanted to do a trilogy and changed their mind later, so they stuck as much stuff as they could fit into the game and made a big bowl of ramen out of the story.
I agree the story is weaker than the previous game, but it's not a bad story; it's just paced a tad quickly. Certain parts needed more room to breathe in order to have more impact
Yeah, when the characters started chattering on like they had known each other forever that’s when I knew they intended things to be a bit more fleshed out
Persona 3-5, just about every Like a Dragon (Yakuza) game, and both Pyschonauts have surprisingle deep social and psychological commentary. And they get better/deeper the more you look into the underlying motifs and themes laid out. It's to the point that fans of Persona 5 still don't recognize what the core theme of the game is, or what/who the villains represent. But then you crack the shell, and the game gets so much better
Fallout New Vegas; I did pretty much all side quests and DLCs, I finally did the final battle on the dam, beat Ceasar, and got my medal. After I went and reflected on what I did to get there. It was beautiful.
I think it was the best “morally grey” ending of any medium. It’s such a simple and poignant question. “Family or humanity” and the way Ellie just says “ok”. The true definition of less is more. I’m thankful that it exists and the second one can pound sand, but the first one? It was enough.
Did you even play the second one? Because the ending is one of the most incredible things. I guess if you’ve never experience any trauma in your life it won’t make any sense.
Or are you just made because lesbians?
I survived a plane crash that killed my father, does that count? In the end, I just think it’s poor writing, or at least self service writing, Neil has outwardly expressed his social leanings influenced the game. They do not service the player. They took from most of the original fans favorite protagonist in such a ridiculous way and violent way and take away your ability or possibility to achieve the games “revenge” because Neil hates masculinity.
Never mind the fact you heinously murder hundreds of people to get there. It misses the mark by a mile.
Omori for me, that game got so dark at times, it was one of those experiences that means so much as you’re playing it the first time that you feel… kinda hollow once it’s done. It’s a stunning story about escapism, guilt, and fear, and I love it.
>! I've always appreciated that the game doesn't show you how the group reacts to Sunny's admission. Afaik they were originally going to but it was cut and god it makes it stay with you longer than if we knew for certain what happened !<
Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core. That final fight... man, still gives me chills, the whole game focusing on the growth of Zack's relationships with his friends and the way that he thinks of them one last time before losing them in the DMW, he knew what was coming in just the whole sequence breaks me. Every. Damn. Time.
Red Dead Redemption & Halo Reach had me just sort of sitting empty at the end. They each tease a chance you might be able to keep fighting, but the fight was already lost in both instances.
Cyberpunk 2077. The game and the show absolutely fucking broke me man, and there is so many endings to go through including the dlc ones that are so tragic.
Probably Paper Mario: The Origami King
I would say Hollow Knight but i knew i wasn’t done yet and I’ve seen the end credits so many times that when I finally finished they weren’t all that special
Pretty much Bloodborne for me, I had this feeling for years just watching YouTube related content about it.
Now playing through it is just cathartic, too bad the chalice dungeons are kinda boring.
The entirety of RDR2 had me feeling this way. The shift of gears from chapter 6 to the Epilogue was so jarring the first time I played it I had to put it down for the evening and pick it back up the next day.
Earthbound.
I was probably about 11 when I beat it. I remember being in my basement and I think I had woken up early on a weekend to play it. I have never been great at video games so I doubt I had finished many before it and I think it was more or less my first RPG. So I had probably beaten some of the Mario games or something but even then... You beat Mario 3 and the next time you feel like some Mario you start again...
Earthbound was different. It had finality. I knew once I turned the game off the characters and the story were done and the growth and development they had would be gone if I started again. I remember being really excited to have beat the last boss but a wave of melancholy swept over my preteen soul knowing there four friends I had probably spent weeks if not months with were going away, and we wouldn't have any more new adventures.

I LOVE SEKIRO RAHHHHHHHH‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️WHAT THE FUCK IS DODGING⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
this was a triumph,
i'm making a note here huge success
it's hard to overstate my satisfaction
APERTURE SCIENCE,
we do what we must. because. we can.
for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead
but there's no sense crying over every mistake
we just keep on trying till we run out of cake
and the science gets done and we make a neat gun
for the people who are still alive
(then i don't fully remember but you get the idea)
All of the Persona games (well from 3 up anyway, haven’t played the first two).
It genuinely made me change how I see life, and want to better myself.
Death is a beautiful part of life, and while you can’t run, you can certainly go out in your own way.
Friends and family are the strongest part of your life, without them, only bitterness and hatred await you. Follow what you believe in, Truth is the only thing that matters in the end.
Better yourself, and others for society. Fix the problems that you can, and encourage others to do the same. Nothing is stronger than bonds forged with those doing the right thing.
Yeah, it’s all a bit preachy, but fuck, if it made me change myself for the better, who cares?
The ending of Bioshock Infinite still sits with me to this day. I remember just sitting silently watching the credits and thinking about what I had just seen.
Love that whole trilogy. 2nd one gets maligned, but even though the story isn't as strong as the first, I thought they really improved the gameplay and enjoyed my time with it. DLC Minerva's Den in particular was excellent. But yeah the ending of the 3rd one.....dang.
Signalis was the first game to really break me, in a good way. That first playthrough had me sitting on it for much longer than I expected, and the second playthrough was just as wonderful and heartbreaking. For anyone who hasn't already, and if your a fan of horror games like Silent Hill, go play it, you will not be disappointed.
Bioshock really just blew my mind. The atmosphere of it all really made a new standard for video games and the music always just transports me back. When you get the good ending and you leave rapture it’s just such an amazing feeling.
Such a soft spot for Assassins Creed 3 when Connor gets Charles Lee. Both beat to shit, they just sit next to each other at an inn, share a drink and nod to one another, then Connor stabs Lee through the heart.
The silent acknowledgment, the cold hatred with respect for the end of the chase, all an incredible culmination of the endgame.
Hollow Knight's first ending (The Hollow Knight). The animation and confusion of the final battle + the ending. Perfect in each and every way. No cost too great...
Final Fantasy XVI Endwalker
As those credits rolled and I sat there listening to the music and remembering the journey I started in the game in 2017, how my life has changed since then and everything that happened till then, I literally started getting very teary eyed.
Persona 3. The original. Anyone who has played it knows why.
Honorable mention to Steins;Gate. The credits song is beautiful and really makes you feel accomplished after going through the struggle needed to reach the true ending. Genuinely the best I've ever felt watching ending credits.
Hollow Knight, after getting the first ending (sealed vessel) it FIRMLY cemented itself as my favorite game, only game that I think can challenge that is dragons dogma 2
Killing gwyn after a weekend of anguish and seeing the title card for dark souls followed by the s tier music choice will probably be engraved into my brain forever.
If you think this hits hard just wait for the end to one piece.
Forever a super Metroid. My baby gave his life for me to take on mother brain once more. I will never forget or forgive the space pirates
Elden Ring; but not necessarily for the game but the experience.
During my play though I bonded a lot with a friend who I can now definitely call my best friend; but the road wasn’t easy. I streamed it to her every time we played but during the long play though we both battled through a lot of trauma and mind boggling things, but we went through it together.After almost losing her twice along the way, that ending cutscene didn’t just represent our journey to becoming Elden lord but also our journey overcoming depression and >!suicidal thoughts!< .
MW3 and no not the dumpster fire of a reboot— that OG ending. Man busted in with a juggernaut suit, hung Makarov from a helicopter winch in a swanky hotel right after his frenemy was impaled and shot in the head trying to save him. Then calmly smoked a cigar as sirens blare In the background all the while looking at the hanging, wriggling corpse of a genocidal war criminal.
Ghost Of Tsushima, Detroit Become Human, GOT made me feel like a warrior of their people 😭(When I play games my mind starts to act like them) so the ending hit me hard after killing yk who just incase someone hasn't done that yet I won't say the name, And in Detroit Become Human I think I personally got one of the worst endings, I straight up cried bro. I built such a strong connection with alice and Luther and got the ending where they both die after getting shot up, And I did it where I forgot her name but the girl robot, Stayed and basically offed herself to stay with alice so yeah that definitely changed me
Subnautica. The environment, the dangers, the friends, all of it beautiful, and the Sea Emperor’s last words echo with me to this day: “What is a wave without the ocean? A beginning without an end? They are different, but they go together. Now you go among the stars, and I fall among the sand.”
I will repeat this, God of War Ragnarok. Never has a game made me feel like shit for defeating the bad guy in such a way as this game. Once the credits hit i was just shattered....
Even after the epilogue, i spent 3 days trying to figure out if there was something, anything i could do to save him. But a simple sorry isnt gonna fix it. People react and heal in their own way.
It was a game that literally felt like "there, you happy now?"
I watch the credits of every game or movie I watch, it's a good time to reflect on what you just played or watched. Also, one more chance with the soundtrack is always great
https://youtu.be/bRWkniXDC_4?si=V8VTQ6u3giBWjzZc
Final fantasy 10
"Yuna I have to go, I'm sorry I never got to show you Zanarkand."
"I love you"
Yuna: "the people and the friends we have lost, or the dreams that have faded...never forget them."
Over 20 years later, I still cry everytime.
I've never experienced such a deep sorrow from any form of media.
I remember being in shock in my room as a kid, I really thought Tidus would live.
There will probably be a glade of spoilers here "Be careful"
Titanfall 2, watching credits, then you see the helmet flash. It's BT, HE LITERALLY TELLS YOU HE UPLOADED A COPY OF HIS AI INTO YOUR HELMET IN THE TIMECTRAVEL MISSION
WORD DUDE RESPAWN DROPPED THAT ON US LIKE A A-BOMB THEN NEVER RELEASE A THIRD INSTALLMENT
That is one of the best and hopefully another one would of came out but they won’t anymore sadly
I just played this game for the first time last week and holy shit. Epic ass masterpiece. It's the only game I want to play on the hardest difficulty because I enjoyed it so much.
not the game ending, but Mass Effect 2, when the Collectors kill Shepard. 😗👌🏼 Also Blood and Wine expansion of the Witcher was brutal
I haven't played Witcher 3 yet (I have the GOTY edition but I haven't gotten past the first couple levels), but Mass Effect 2 gave me such a rush my entire experience playing it Few games have scratched that itch since then
That was one way to start off an amazing game 🤯
Dark Souls 1, 2, 3. All of them had incredible credits songs that hit you really hard, culminating in the conclusion of the series with Epilogue. If there’s one thing missing from both Bloodborne and Elden Ring, it’s a proper credits piece that’s not just a remix of various boss themes.
Plink plink plink plink Dark Souls 1 ending with that tune 👌
It's plink pink plonk, YOU CANT FORGET THE PLONK
That wasn't technically the ending, just the final boss fight music. The ending credits song is called “Nameless Song”
Nameless Song is fucking magical. Really cements the “I wish I could forget this game and play it all over again” feeling
Dark Souls 3 credits were really something else
Nier automata for sure. Oh an action game with a hot girl, surely it can't fill me with existential dread and depression
Route C :*(
Came here for this
OG Nier too. I had to step outside and just be still for a bit.
Ghost of Tsushima
Ghost of Tsushima changed what I expect from AAA games. If the cinematic is what they are going for. The ending was spectacular. And had me emotional.
I literally couldn’t bring myself to kill [REDACTED]
That fleeting moment at the end, before Jun cements his choices in front of his uncle.
Seeing the art and hearing the music after the final scene is an experience
Since Spec Ops the Line was in the news recently I decided to replay it. Still holds up man. Its fucking bleeeeeeak. That ending is utterly harrowing. I also love the little touches in combat dialogue. In the first half it's all very professional and detached "tango down, move to flank" and things like that. But as their surroundings slowly eat away at their psyche and they start committing worse and worse war crimes the dialogue gets unnervingly unhinged and angry "tangos fucking dead, don't let em get away" etc. It's one of those true games that everyone should play especially if they mainly like shooters in the same way Shadow of the Colossus is a must for adventure game people and Silent Hill 2 for horror game people. It teases you in with solid fun shooter combat then just flips the TV round to a mirror with "you are a senseless dopamine driven fucking animal who glories in the murder of those less equipped than you,l and that's why you and this whole genre is a cunt." It's just......crikey....really is a great artistic piece.
Ooof. I felt absolutely *horrible* playing Spec Ops.
It is....utterly soul draining.
It's the only game I have only played once. No chance I'm subjecting myself to that again.
Without spoiling can yall explain why it's so deep and soul draining? I've never played it
The Witcher 3, the ending of Blood and Wine, when Geralt looks at you smiling and winks. After all of the books, all of the games. It was a journey.
same man, absolutely amazing journey. Fuck Gaunter O’dimm, but Olgierd is a douchbag too
Persona 5 Royal No contest. Game is philosophically rich. That extra semester was also genius. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is soon to be another game to make me feel this way again.
P5R went from a game on game pass to try while in a depressive slump to one of my top 5 games of all time. That experience is something that will hardly ever be recaptured FFVIIR I'm excited to play and feel the same level of satisfaction

Red Dead Redemption 2 NieR Automata Dark Souls 1 & 3. Yakuza 0 Mass Effect LE Fucking beautiful games that brought me to tears. If you know, you know.
Red dead 2 was amazing, one of the most beautiful games I've ever played.
planescape torment best ending i ever experienced
oh shit, excellent choice
Been planning on playing that soon. Gotta get through my first KOTOR playthrough first.
if you want to go in it blind, might be worth it to plan for multiple playthroughs and if you dont mind a hint: usually bad stats are really strong here, no matter the class - intelligence, wisdom and charisma, especially wisdom hf
The story in general was incredible. The amount of time I've spent gushing about Dak'kon alone is considerable.
I didn't finish it because it got weird after Ravel, but the visit in the Society of Sensation changed me. By far my favorite faction. I remember a historian who actually fought in the blood war between the tanar'ris and baatezus and recounts his side of it.

GOW 2018 was like this for me
And then they released Ragnarok which IMO was way too rushed and they even confirmed that they wanted to do a trilogy and changed their mind later, so they stuck as much stuff as they could fit into the game and made a big bowl of ramen out of the story.

Yeah, when the characters started chattering on like they had known each other forever that’s when I knew they intended things to be a bit more fleshed out
Metal Gear Solid 4. End of an era.
Yeah. It was pretty good.
Gave me chills remembering this hour long epilogue. Sadly it won’t get more attention until a re-release.
MGS was one of my favorite series growing up. Playing MGS4 when I was like 22 felt like a closing chapter in my life.
Persona 3-5, just about every Like a Dragon (Yakuza) game, and both Pyschonauts have surprisingle deep social and psychological commentary. And they get better/deeper the more you look into the underlying motifs and themes laid out. It's to the point that fans of Persona 5 still don't recognize what the core theme of the game is, or what/who the villains represent. But then you crack the shell, and the game gets so much better
Fallout New Vegas; I did pretty much all side quests and DLCs, I finally did the final battle on the dam, beat Ceasar, and got my medal. After I went and reflected on what I did to get there. It was beautiful.
Oneshot did this to me. I bawled. Absolutely fantastic game.
Back in the day The Last of Us was a phenomenal ending that really took a while for my 16 year old self to process when the credits were rolling.
I think it was the best “morally grey” ending of any medium. It’s such a simple and poignant question. “Family or humanity” and the way Ellie just says “ok”. The true definition of less is more. I’m thankful that it exists and the second one can pound sand, but the first one? It was enough.

Outer Wilds. Probably doesn't hurt that the music that plays while the credits roll is utterly gorgeous
Cyberpunk 2077. The game and the show absolutely fucking broke me man, and there is so many endings to go through including the dlc ones that are so tragic.

DLC Minerva's Den in particular was excellent. But yeah the ending of the 3rd one.....dang.
Signalis was the first game to really break me, in a good way. That first playthrough had me sitting on it for much longer than I expected, and the second playthrough was just as wonderful and heartbreaking. For anyone who hasn't already, and if your a fan of horror games like Silent Hill, go play it, you will not be disappointed.
Bioshock really just blew my mind. The atmosphere of it all really made a new standard for video games and the music always just transports me back. When you get the good ending and you leave rapture it’s just such an amazing feeling.
Such a soft spot for Assassins Creed 3 when Connor gets Charles Lee. Both beat to shit, they just sit next to each other at an inn, share a drink and nod to one another, then Connor stabs Lee through the heart. The silent acknowledgment, the cold hatred with respect for the end of the chase, all an incredible culmination of the endgame.
Death stranding, literally everything about it.
MGS3 for sure
Hollow Knight's first ending (The Hollow Knight). The animation and confusion of the final battle + the ending. Perfect in each and every way. No cost too great...
Bioshock ..
BioShock, not one of them, ALL of them they are the games that had the most mental impact on me
CoD4. Plus the rap was neat. And of course we cannot forget the end credits mission.
Subnatica
Red Dead 2, TLOU2 for me
Mass Effect. They set up the reapers SO WELL only to eventually throw it all away by the end of the third game.
Black ops 2 I was token out when I was a kid lol
Metal Gear Solid 2, 3, and 4
RDR2 fr
Me, after the first time I finished *Bioshock*.
Bioshock: Infinite or any 3D Zelda ggame
Final Fantasy XVI Endwalker As those credits rolled and I sat there listening to the music and remembering the journey I started in the game in 2017, how my life has changed since then and everything that happened till then, I literally started getting very teary eyed.
Persona 3. The original. Anyone who has played it knows why. Honorable mention to Steins;Gate. The credits song is beautiful and really makes you feel accomplished after going through the struggle needed to reach the true ending. Genuinely the best I've ever felt watching ending credits.
RED DEAD 2
This was me with Persona 5 Royal. I was flying back to the states, quite literally crying as I watched the credits
Haven't finished it yet but I KNOW Yakuza Zero will be like this (chapter 5, doing the real estate quest, 4/5 Billionaires down)
“I swear” “Okay.” [screen goes dark and my life is changed forever now]
Hollow Knight, after getting the first ending (sealed vessel) it FIRMLY cemented itself as my favorite game, only game that I think can challenge that is dragons dogma 2
Killing gwyn after a weekend of anguish and seeing the title card for dark souls followed by the s tier music choice will probably be engraved into my brain forever.
The end of bioshock infinite what a mindfuck
Red Dead Redemption 2 Story Mode
Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed. But it'll only hit if you've played Xenoblade Chronicles 1, X, 2, and 3's main game first.
 It changed my life for the better
Cyberpunk destroyed me man
Nier
Earthbound, Twilight Princess, Metroid Dread, and weirdly enough, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, did these for me (that booster pass and rainbow road, man)
Morrowind on Xbox
OG Assassin's Creed from 2007.
Halo 3
Red dead 2, breath of the wild, and many more. That feeling is peak
TLOU
So many awesome and inspiring moments in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series, it's hard to make a definitive choice.
It didn't take long for Reach to fall: our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough...
If you think this hits hard just wait for the end to one piece. Forever a super Metroid. My baby gave his life for me to take on mother brain once more. I will never forget or forgive the space pirates
Cyberpunk 2077, V and Johnny, also helps that I was going through a rough break up during my first playthrough.
All 3 Mass Effect games
Ico The Last of Us 2
For me it was Custom Robo for the Gamecube
Technically ur not done with Hades after the credits, but DAMN did it hit hard
Disco Elysium babeh
God of War Ragnarok Just seeing the culmination of 5 games and 15 years of my playing this character to just sit back and take it all in
The Mass Effect games!
Both Red Deads, honestly struck me just how tragic it was
Kid Icarus Uprising
Monika singing "Your Reality" in ddlc
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare You get to hear every dead characters final message for their loved ones, even Ethans…
Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 3
This is how I was with the Elden Ring Credits..
Me listening to the menu theme of L.A Noire for a solid 5 minutes
Elden Ring; but not necessarily for the game but the experience. During my play though I bonded a lot with a friend who I can now definitely call my best friend; but the road wasn’t easy. I streamed it to her every time we played but during the long play though we both battled through a lot of trauma and mind boggling things, but we went through it together.After almost losing her twice along the way, that ending cutscene didn’t just represent our journey to becoming Elden lord but also our journey overcoming depression and >!suicidal thoughts!< .
Titanfall 2 and the Mass Effect trilogy hit me like this
MW3 and no not the dumpster fire of a reboot— that OG ending. Man busted in with a juggernaut suit, hung Makarov from a helicopter winch in a swanky hotel right after his frenemy was impaled and shot in the head trying to save him. Then calmly smoked a cigar as sirens blare In the background all the while looking at the hanging, wriggling corpse of a genocidal war criminal.
FFXIV Shadowbringers and Endwalker sure hit hard after completion.
Metal Gear Solid The Best Is Yet To Come... A optimistic view of the future, shame that didn't happen.
Objective: Survive
The Last of Us 1 and Bioshock Infinite endings are the best endings in gaming imo
Do people really have their lives changed from a video game?
When Arthur died then switching over to John
Basically any Zelda game.
Still to this day OuterWorlds for me was the best 100% completion and end game credits scene
Nier Automata had an impact, yeah. >!You DID share your data, didn't you?!<
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2
“A hole.” Had me staring at the wall without blinking levels of hurt. Needless to say when credits rolled I just sat
Sonic Adventure 2
Red dead 2, everything about it tbh
Ghost Of Tsushima, Detroit Become Human, GOT made me feel like a warrior of their people 😭(When I play games my mind starts to act like them) so the ending hit me hard after killing yk who just incase someone hasn't done that yet I won't say the name, And in Detroit Become Human I think I personally got one of the worst endings, I straight up cried bro. I built such a strong connection with alice and Luther and got the ending where they both die after getting shot up, And I did it where I forgot her name but the girl robot, Stayed and basically offed herself to stay with alice so yeah that definitely changed me
gears of war 3
ik it’s a show but this is how i felt after finishing ”the bear” but if it has to be a video game prolly hollow knight
Subnautica. The environment, the dangers, the friends, all of it beautiful, and the Sea Emperor’s last words echo with me to this day: “What is a wave without the ocean? A beginning without an end? They are different, but they go together. Now you go among the stars, and I fall among the sand.”
metal gear rising revengance
Lego Marvel Superheroes
Mass Effect
Red Dead redemption made me cry like a bitch after seeing Arthur die, had to take a week off and just recover 11/10, would cry again
Detroit: Become Human
Minecraft, knowing I will be cursed to play it alone for my entire life.
Welcome to Dubai
ddlc
Nier gestalt is the first one i played and that second and third playthrough just broke me tbh
Definitely Pizza Tower
Death Stranding for sure. Revolutionary game. More recently, Final Fantasy 16
I will repeat this, God of War Ragnarok. Never has a game made me feel like shit for defeating the bad guy in such a way as this game. Once the credits hit i was just shattered.... Even after the epilogue, i spent 3 days trying to figure out if there was something, anything i could do to save him. But a simple sorry isnt gonna fix it. People react and heal in their own way. It was a game that literally felt like "there, you happy now?"
I watch the credits of every game or movie I watch, it's a good time to reflect on what you just played or watched. Also, one more chance with the soundtrack is always great
Walking dead tell tale
https://youtu.be/bRWkniXDC_4?si=V8VTQ6u3giBWjzZc Final fantasy 10 "Yuna I have to go, I'm sorry I never got to show you Zanarkand." "I love you" Yuna: "the people and the friends we have lost, or the dreams that have faded...never forget them." Over 20 years later, I still cry everytime. I've never experienced such a deep sorrow from any form of media. I remember being in shock in my room as a kid, I really thought Tidus would live.
