If you didn't notice already, I've been with gaming for about 12 years now. That's about 80% of my life right now, and I had moments that made me cry when there were reveals, releases, or even a moment in the game that made me cry. Hello Wandering Traveler and welcome to another Community Writing Challenge!
My earliest memory of my gaming passion came out with a white hot happiness was a Christmas morning. At the time I was a big fan of the game Metal Slug (Still am) and I heard three months before that they released a game that had all 6 of the Metal Slug games in one plastic case and disc. Once I woke up that Christmas morning, I saw tons of presents and this was the first time of any Christmas that me and my sister had that many presents, the sight of almost 20 presents that year almost brought us to a crying happiness. I opened everything and didn't find that game. I mean, I got Super Mario Galaxy and The Twilight Princess in one present, but I couldn't find the game I wanted for about 4 months by then. Looked in the stalkings to see if it was in there, but I couldn't find it. My dad asked me if I got what I wanted. I just replied, "I got the things I wanted, but I didn't get Metal Slug." He smiled and told me to look in the stalking by my bed and found that game. I almost cried for how much I felt! That kid in the picture is crying about getting Minecraft while I got 6 games in one.
As I got older (About 12 years old at the time), I looked at the world differently and actually felt some emotion about life's hard times. It was the time I got both of the Bioshock games at the time, 1 and 2. I felt like I missed something when I played the first Bioshock a few years back from then, I wanted to see if I missed something. So I played the game from beginning to end. Of course I got the good ending where you save the Little Sisters and show them the surface. Once I got to that, I almost wanted to cry. It was so touching, you saved the sisters and showed them what they have been forbidden to have as a child and in return, they made sure they were there with you until the end. Still haves me shed a tear just thinking about it.
Another just about 4 years later, was an E3 event. I was a big fan of both Elder Scrolls and Fallout. I played them both through it's lengths and gave me lots of found memories I love to treasure as a gamer. I heard the company that made their latest games Fallout 3 and Skyrim, I was excited to see what they had to show off. I saw Dishonored 2 coming to us and thought that was awesome. Not a moment of tears, but it made me and my dad jump up in happiness. Once I saw Todd Howard walk to stage, I knew he was going give us something awesome. Once he announced the Fallout 4, a game that was a lost hope and a hoax for years, was finally coming to us on consoles and PC. I screamed. I couldn't wait. Once he should us the reveal trailer, I could remember everything I had done in Fallout. Disarming that Atom Bomb in Megaton, a choice to kill that talking tree, everything memory was cycling back to me as I watched that trailer. I bursted out crying. Being a fan of a game is big deal if it made 2 years of your life. And that's the soul reason why I cried. I know most of you call that game a waste of money or a waste of time to play, but I love that game. I do not care if you say it's as awful as crap, I love this game and I will love every bit I explore in it.
Those are my stories! So what made you cry? What brought you to tears? I bet I can name one!
I hope you enjoyed this and 'til next time...
