Ten Games That Makes Japan Cry (Three Are Erotic Games)

[wraggster]

Numbers time! Japanese game site Dengeki Online is running results of a poll that was composed of 86.3 percent men and 13.7 percent women with an average age of 25.46 years old. Questions included things like "Have you cried during gaming?" or "What game are you looking forward to?" In the poll, three of the games that made Japanese gamers cry are"adult visual novels" — two of them are erotic game ports and one is a straight up PC erotic game. That's not that surprising as many Japanese gamers do play erotic games for the story. No, really.

Barbarian on the Amiga made me cry - I can't believe I paid 20 quid for that rubbish!

[fpcreator2000]

Blast Corps made me laugh when I got the last platinum medal and I received the last promotion.

"You can stop now".

That was hilarious!!!.

Otherwise, I never cried, nor have I ever been brought close to tears, while playing a game.

Most RPG's I've played are too cheesy for me to become emotionally attached to that level. Don't get me wrong, I love the stories involved with those games, otherwise I would not play them at all.

agreed Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core

Dude, no matter what you do Zack dies..... /sheds tear

[goshogun1]

I am 29 ,and the end of Crisis Core made me start crying. It's funny, because even though we all knew what was coming, we were still deeply saddened. Especially when his "reels" started blanking out, showing him going brain-dead. :(
Oh yeah. Arc the Lad 2 was very sad. Don't know if I cried or not, but I am sure some did.

[jrsmaster411]

I've never cried or even come close, but I've heard of a lot of people crying during the ending of ico

:rofl:

[geise69]

Haha...but which Barbarian. The 2 player fighter or the Psygnosis Barbarian. Both made me cry since I bought both of them.

[Sonny_Jim]

I remember a friend of mine crying at the end of Megaman 2 but that might be just the difficulty level.

[Accordion]

Never cried at a game. But ICO and SotC make me feel physically sick with guilt every time.

[Baboon]

You'd have to be a pretty emtional person to cry at a game? lol


Haha...but which Barbarian. The 2 player fighter or the Psygnosis Barbarian. Both made me cry since I bought both of them.

Hey the 2 player fighting barbarian game was class with the gore and chopping off heads etc. :D

[robman84]

Yeah, the 2 player fighter was ok ( I think I had that on the speccy). I was thinking about the Psygnosis one. Pure garbage.

I suppose being more serious about it, ICO and probably Shenmue got to me emotionally.
