I had a few moments in ME1 that got me misty eyed, though ME2 did a good enough job throttling my emotional attachment to my Shepards by the throat that the biggest emotion ME2 raised from me was an eyeroll or 100.

Not even Chuck Norris would have had the balls to choose "no one" for the Suicide Mission. Go Shepard!

Hahahaha, TIM fell!!!



I ASKED FOR THIS lol

 Unfortunately I get overly emotional easily in games & when reading books (not movies though. Not sure why). I wept several times in ME1 and ME2.

But nothing made me cry like the alternate ending where Shepard dies at the end of failed Suicide Mission in ME2. I bawled probably for several minutes into the credits... I cried for (almost) each squad member that died... and my dad laughed at me lovingly cus I called him on the phone to whine to him that Shepard died.... yeah... not my proudest moments, I'll admit.

Still, even though it was immense sadness and sorrow I felt by that ending, it resonated with me... probably something I'll remember for a very long time in my life.

Regardless of what occurs in ME3, happy or sad ending, I know I will probably cry harder than I ever have for a game or book... because I will know it is the last time I'll ever get to have a new adventure with my beloved friends (Shep & crew).. I know there won't be more stories of Shep and the gang, and that will have me in uncontrolled weeping at the end, no matter how joyous the ending might be.

Great now I'm all misty eyed just thinking about it. Damn it.

WTF is going on!!  hahaha

I may shed a manly tear.

Manly tear? What's that? Does it have another muscly tear rippling off of it or perhaps it burps / passes wind as it runs down the cheek?

all of the above, but they only happen once in a lifetime

[onelifecrisis]

Hmm, I'm trying to remember if ME ever made me cry. Certainly not ME2 (kinda hard to cry when half the cast get replaced by imposters wearing their faces) but ME1... actually no I don't think ME1 did either. Nope. Bioware...

YOU HAVE FAILED

Except at making memes.

Men only get to cry when they lose their woman.

So, everything else is a manly tear, i.e., I have dust in my eye.

Never seen that before. The bit where Shepard has no head is awesome.

There's only one game that ever made my eyes misty, and that was at the end of Red Dead Redemption.

[C9316]

I've never cried when playing ME1 or ME2, but after I beat ME1 for the first time I felt this feeling in my chest. Like it was a feeling of victory, and I was breathless. This also happened when I beat Halo CE for the first time.

My reaction at the end of RDR: "Finally he's dead! Can I haz Jack now?"

John was a very boring character. But Jack is funny and witty one. They game should have had him as the protagonist.

Mass Effect has yet to make me cry.

This  doesn't make you cry or at least get a bit misty-eyed?  I never understood how anyone who played the whole series and sees that doesn't get at least a bit emotional over it... don't misunderstand me, not criticizing you, just don't personally get how some become emotionally hardened to stuff like that. I loathe to think it may be a gender thing? Where's Cheez? Need to ask her if that part made her sad.... though somehow I doubt it did.... legend has it Cheez was forged in the fires of Mordor... 

There are now 3 people I know of on here that have Youtube channels. 

To be honest I'm a tad surprised there aren't more. I personally subscribe to quite a few ME related youtube channels, but very few of them, as far as I know, are BSN forumites (or at least not regulars)

I mean the END end. When the credits roll after you finish the last mission with Jack, how absolutely nothing happens. Just you and a man's corpse in a river, everything having amounted to absolutely nothing. Deadman's Gun plays, then Exodus in America, but with just the piano. I ALMOST teared up a bit. I found it very beautiful.

A very similar scene in Dragon Age 2 nearly got me after talking to Bodahn in Act III when he tells you he's going to leave because he's getting old, and it's just Hawke staring into the fireplace utterly alone after all the years.

when i finished gears 3 i stoped a moment then went back and played the all in order one after anouther in a marathon.... i had to, as if to honor all the time spent with thoso games. for mass efect i will almost certinly do it again than what i don't know it tore me up to lose gears, a game that i feel that i changed the outcome of...i just don't know.

[LadyofRivendell]

I'll probably be crying, which I do surprisingly little of for a female. But I've gotten really attached to these characters.
For some reason, games are the easiest for me to cry about, followed by books, and then movies/tv. Virmire probably would have made me cry had I not known it was coming. Dragon Age: Origins had two particularly depressing endings that really hit me. Outside of Bioware, Uncharted 2 and Crisis Core (FF7) got to me, but that's about it. I'm fully expecting BW to pull out all the stops for ME3.

I'll make sure to stock up on chocolate

When I looked at your post I thought "this will be Special Mission I bet".

Clicked on it.
Read the title.
Leaned back.
"F*cking nailed it."

 Wow. All these people who weren't brought to tears by Mass Effect at any point... I must be the queen of simpering pansies or something

I doubt it's going to more emotional than Gears 3, which was not that emotional a sendoff at all.

Mass Effect didn't stir you up over the years? Gears of War seems to have only stepped up emotionally a few times in the first two games, and while I was nicely surprised by the maturity and emotion that spread into the finale, I overall and expecting to feel hit harder with Mass Effect. I think the vision and concept of Mass Effect is a big part of the attachement. The spacefaring of humans has been a love of mine since Mass Effect first presented it.

I will be sad and hopefully the cutscene will be more emotional than the previous endings. I'd like some acknnowledgement of this being a goodbye. Hope they take the Oscar-worthy epic approach, rather than a Blockbuster trilogy ending. 

I don't have the same expectations I used to have of Mass Effect anymore. In the end, there was no such thing as the promised choice/consequence, which ironically even Gears did better with their LT/RT-moments. In the end, we simply kept getting the same black and white story and morality. There is no more loss, no sense of danger, no emotional engagement at all. Just fanservice to the max.

It just doesn't entice me as much as it did anymore, nor as much as it could, or should.

Makes me want to play MGS 4 again. Goodbye Solid Snake.

This.  In my opinion the best "ending" to a series and its characters.  Sure, I had to watch half a days worth of cutscenes, but that was a half day well spent.

Ah...tell me about it. It was 6am the day I finished after playing almost 5h straight. The writing and directing of Kojima is sometimes bad as hell because of overexposition to his (brilliant) concepts, but damn it was emotional. Not only saying goodbye to Snake, but Raiden, Colonel, Otacon, Ocelot, etc. I don't know if ME3 will top that, the relationship with MGS was way longer, but I think it'll be as much as or even more emotional. I feel that Bioware will be able to make better in the writing/directing department.

Edit: But I know for sure that I'll feel that emptiness, hollow inside me. I always do when I finish stories that I am very deep into. There will a sense of completeness, ending, but there will be sorrow too.

I felt a little forlorne in ME2 as Shepard's body is floating off into space, but then the Six Million Dollar Man montage flies in and it's more about awesome from then on in. That's how Mass Effect tends to strike me and that's how I enjoy it, succeeding against terrible odds and roaming the galaxy. That's why I hope they don't cheap shot us with forced dramatic choices flying out of nowhere like I'm watching an episode of 24.

[Zakatak757]

Holding back my emotions in life has not only made me good at it, but pretty much stopped emotions entirely. Nothing brings a tear to my eye anymore, regardless if I try to think depressing thoughts. It sucks.

[who would know]

That would. Crying is good for you.
