/v/ - Video Games

If a game make me feel sadness or ennui, I turn it off and throw it away, so I generally don't remember what they were called. Life is misery, games exist as an escape. They should all be as happy and distracting as possible, at least as far as me playing them goes. You folks with happy lives that need to play misery simulators to know what sadness feels like…well, good for you, enjoy them I guess.

The Dead Sea and the Tower of Geddon in Chrono Cross.

>ennui

Why is this word seeing a resurgence?

This thread fills me with sadness over what will come next

The Noble Cerberus segment from Nier. The Wolves literally represent the White race, and were destroyed by the shitskin immigrant hordes because of their altruism and mistaking a good human known to him for a typical human.

Only games that have filled me with ennui are boring fucking simulators or bad Harvest Moon games that make me question why I'm wasting my time with them.

The 3rd birthday, and not in a good way. Even discounting how it shat on Parasite Eve, it was just so relentlessly dour and mean-spirited, not unlike Drakengard, but without the creativity.

If you mean sad as in intended by the creators instead of just being a parade of unfun fuck ups, Yomawari 1 and 2. Seeing little girls at the height of their innocence and naïveté get confronted to the reality of death is simple but effective.

>Dragon Quest Builders moved me to tears.

That final area was incredibly bleak. When ever I replay that game again I'm going to take my time and purify that whole area.

Why does Krusty look like Ross?

Aside from a sense of "what now?" that you get when a spectacular game is over with, it's rare that a game makes me feel sad.

There was this one substory in Yakuza 0 that had a former criminal change his face to protect his family from yakuza. Even after everything's done the guy's family still sees him as a stranger.

>>16467967

I don't like my games to depress me but they aren't just an "escape". Otherwise they're no better than drinking or taking drugs.

Like most things in life they ought to challenge you in some way.

I don't know why but lullaby music or anything that sounds like it's from a music box will make me cry if I listen to it for too long.

>>16468021

Games where you can visibly make the world a better place are always nice. One of my favorite things in Majora's Mask.

>mfw cried to infamous 2s bad ending

>mfw cried to the ending of white phial quest in skyrim

same, planetarian hit me the most

>>16467914

Final Fantasy 9 has a few scenes that moved me to tears, like when Freya finally finds the end of her quest or the Not Alone scene, even when Vivi finds his Grandap's cave all scenes that just hit me right in the gut.

>>16467914

Final Fantasy X. Then they go fucking ruin it with X2.

A few times.

Xenogears when you enter a house in a town that got bombed and find a rocking chair with some toys around it.

Demon's Souls when you fight the maiden Astrea.

MGS2 when Otacon hears the parrot talk about how Emma missed him.

Probably some more that I can't remember, but those are off the top of my head.

Pretty much this entire game.

>>16468146

Oh and the true end scene in Heaven's Feel with Illya and likely twice during Lily's route in Katawa Shoujo.

That should be it, I think.

The scene where you kill all the children in Nier.

I felt pretty bad, but whatever. Give me those delicious screams.

>>16467977

Bad thoughts and bad feelings come from living.

There's no dopamine from life, only from escapes like vidya.

>>16467977

Vidya provides an escape that is sometimes able to uplift me from crippling depression. I don't need any more bad thoughts, I'm immersed in them all day every day.

>>16468079

>Otherwise they're no better than drinking or taking drugs.

If I could pirate booze and drugs instead, I would.

>>16468030

>expect it to be washing machine

>it's washing machine; The prequel

I'm not crying you're crying.

>>16468110

You are one sad man anon.

>>16468039

**Little Busters is like anti-depression though. I love getting to the (Pre-EX) ending and telling Kyosuke to go fuck himself because my/Riki's ending is better. It's a fucking fantastic feeling to say "fuck you, not good enough" and actually one up the wannabe magnificient bastard. It also ties up Riki's arc of trying to catch up to how cool the guy is by actually surpassing him.

Best Key game by far, fite me.**

Let's all just pretend my spoiler tags worked

>>16468197

You can play the low-tier armchair psych all you want, but we both know that you don't know what you're talking about. I've been this way for 19 years. Nofap, lifting, running, and going out and getting laid didn't change a thing. I accept it, and I manage it with vidya and drugs. When it becomes unmanageable, I'll eat a bullet.

>>16468236

Consider reading Mein Kampf.

>>16468236

>trying to find happiness on things external to yourself

that never works though

both nier games had tons of sad moments

earthbound was messed up

ff7 was messed up in a ton of ways, aeris death was the least of it

the witch and the hundred knight was really fucked up too. completely unexpected. was 2 any good?

>>16468236

You just gave up and you know it. If your lifestyle was right it wouldn't end with a sudoku

>>16468278

happiness comes from within. depression makes external distractions unenjoyable like a kid that outgrew playing with toys.

The opening to Homeworld was very moving.

>The subject did not survive interrogation

>>16468331

i do that sometimes. then come back later to read the conversation that took off. usually if i want to know more about something i'll make a general thread.

>>16468337

I wouldn't blame you for making a thread with a preface like "Hey anons, I don't know much about X game series. Any advice?"

But this here kind of thread requires a little bit of input from OP if you ask me.

He might as well have greentexted

>tfw games make you sad

>What's her name, /v/?

I hate being the party pooper, especially when anons make actual use of the thread, but when did effort die around here?

The ending of AssCreed Black flag almost made me cry because all the 40 hours or so that the game lasts you are doing pirate things and then suddenly you see that all is over and wont come back, you killed a lot of other pirates, other were dead any other way, and you leave your old life back.

Sadly this content is after 40 Hours of gameplay of a repetitive game plus the sections at the office of abstergo. This scene really impacted me but I wont re-live it because of all that effort.

why the fuck is this anchored?

>>16468132

Oh the memories… *and tears*

>>16468236

>low tier armchair psychology

Some would call what that anon said, common sense. Shit happens, only a few people are dealt good hands at the beginning of their lives.

whoever bumplocked this thread is a massive faggot

>>16467977

imagine condenscing challenge, thought-provoke, satisfaction, immersion, brainstorming, decision-making, puzzle-solving, adrelaline-inducing, into just the word dopamine.

I don't mind a game which can make you think or move you emotionally, but I rather play videogames to have fun and not feel sad.

Long past time for v2, no kike mod edition.
