The Witcher 3 is probably the game I have cried the most while playing. From the opening cinematic I shed tears because I found it so beautifully made, I cried when Geralt reunited with Ciri, I shed angry tears when I found a particularly gruesome crime scene during a quest.
Tap for spoiler
When Vesemir dies, all the tears
When I thought Ciri died, tears again
The fucking Velen OST makes me cry sometimes.
And I’m only taking about base game here, I haven’t finished any of the DLC’s… Which I know are fantastic so there are still more tears to cry, so… I think I’m gonna go play just now.
(Some) videogames are just another way to consume stories. their interactive nature makes your imput as a player matter, and if the story is good, (like with any other medium) you get invested in the characters, the world and what happens to those as you progress through the story.
