Video Games in general sparked my love of creativity. Mainly my love of stories, how they can vary, how differently they can be told, etc. Though I certainly have gained a love for creativity in general. To call so many things a form of art feels to me, a way of underselling so much. To call all those things, works of creativity, truly sells them. A drawing is not just a collection of colors. A book is not just a collection of words. A picture is formed from ideas that were birthed in a human mind, and put into visible form. A book is written from ideas that were also birthed in a human mind, put into readable form. We put pieces of ourselves in what we make. Whether it be writing, drawing, coding, building, and oh so much more, there will always be pieces of us involved in creation. Whether it's visibly there, or not.
U already said what need to be said all I can say is now what u commented is absolutely true and u put it beautifully u have my deepest heart warmth respect my guy 😌😌😌
Every time I see the scene where Arthur Morgan says to the nun "Im afraid" it looks just like my dads eyes when he was dying from cancer. Crushes me every time. That looks of trying to be so strong, but being so scared of what you know you cannot stop.
Arthur is one of the most realistic main characters of a game imo, because he has flaws and fears, and he struggles with things similar to us, like accepting reality. He is truly human.
There's something profound about seeing strong characters break...reminds us of our own humanity...we're all just trying to make it...trying to find the light in the darkness...

Each of these games means something different to each of us. The lessons learned, the way they fit into our own lives. Each one we played isn't just a clip, but a memory too.
2:04 battlefield one. It is the game, where the campaign, tells us the true horror of war, and the sadness. I cried at the end of two, because, if you didn’t, you have no heart.
Of course. Without the context you will miss out on the emotional impact. It is nice to see some new scenes though. I love this concept but it seems every single video uses the exact same song and the exact same games. There are plenty more scenes and plenty more games out there that are just as moving.
@@trickzclipz5910 I think I've play all campaigns except Vanguard (own it), Black Ops Cold War (own it too) and the latest MW3 2023 (own it, though). Infinite Warfare is definitely one of the better campaigns, loved it. But, the multiplayer was trash.
The Fallout 1 ending crushed me when the overseer said “Your a hero but you have to leave” and then you see your character walk off into the wasteland defeated and hopeless.
All the sacrifices made, all the pain and suffering, just to be turned away by the ones you saved. Betrayed by those you sought to save, you have nothing left but the horrors of the wastes. The Hell you knew became your new home.
Games aren't just meant to be played they are meant to be enjoyed. I can't tell you how many life lessons I've learned from video games alone. I saw the characters in these stories as my heroes and more when i was a kid. Games like Black ops 2, MW2, FNAF, Minecraft, Scrap Mechanic, the Halo franchise and many more, they made my childhood. They will always have a place in my heart.
Ecstatic to see outer wilds receive some recognition in one of these kinds of videos. That game truly made me think about life differently. “It’s the kind of thing that makes you glad you stopped and smelled the pine trees along the way, you know?”
One thing that stuck with me since I first experienced it was a scene from Halo Infinite where you rescue a dying Spartan. Your controller starts vibrating to his heartbeat. So, as the cutscene progresses, the vibrations pulse weaker and slower, until it finally stops as he dies. You literally feel his life slip away.
I know. I loved Spartan Griffin. I- I felt true pain, because seeing a Spartan due, isn't just watching a soldier or human die, you are watching an ideal- and a person who is dedicated to the safety of humanity. "Spartans never die, they're just missing in action."
My personal philosophy is that primarily, games should be fun. That's why they're called games, people play to have fun. But damn, if that game makes you feel something on top of that, something real that can't be replicated with another entertainment medium for the way it can connect you with the world and characters by **putting you** (or putting you in control) in that world, that's one hell of a bonus IMO.
dude i feel the same way but with mass effect 3 all my hard work throughout the series eventually pays off and humanity survives, but the person i play as does not. (along with dr falicier from princess and the frog my man admiral anderson)
@@Greene362both last of us games the scene in the 2 game where you flash back to Ellies birthday and he asked if he did good i fucking cryed so hard I never had a dad who did that
I’ve cried too more video games than anything else. I didn’t have many friends growing up and now that I’m an adult I don’t have any but man some times when I play those games I just don’t feel so alone anymore.
You are not alone my friend I am like you I tried to build friendships but to no avail so when I finish my work instead of lounging and having fun with my friends who I never had as most people do or I go out for a walk with my girlfriend which I also could not have. I buy some household groceries and head back home to take a shower and have a cup of coffee after that I head to my room, turn on my computer and get my happiness among my eternal friends. Master Chief (Halo) Arther (Red Dead Redemption 2) Sam (Death Stranding) Aloy (Horizon Zero Dawn) and more
Red Dead Redemption 2 is quite literally a lesson in itself. You could be 75 years old and still learn some beautiful things about life simply through that game. In my opinion it is the best game ever designed, and produced.
as long as I've watched folks play videogames up until I could finally afford the money to buy videogames. It taught* me one thing, and that's "We all got our own Story to tell..."
@@Leo.de99 Since when did I say what games would be cool to live out. Also If its so bad why do you want to live a fake life. You dont know what you are talking about
Thank you so much for this beautiful creation! Video games have been an essential part of my life, specially Halo and Call of Duty. Master Chief And Ghost have gotten me through some of the worst parts of childhood and I'll forever be in debt of them.
I like how the clip from Subnautica is very short yet it still fits. A view of the world as you fly over it, the breath taking view. It was a satisfying end to the game.
I learned a lot of things playing need for speed series, Forza series, GT, Asseto Corsa, Ride Series, MotoGP series, F1 series, and other racing game that I cannot remember. One of a few I learned: Everyone can drive fast, but not everyone can drive fast and precise at the same time that person being faster than the previous time.
Everyone should play Outer Wilds. The game will capture the pure childhood experience of exploration and adventure then at the end of the day the universe dies, and you do it all over again, but this time to explore a different planet.
The moment where Chief sits down besides Brohammer and tells him it is human to make mistakes and we all do that, was one of the best moments in Halo history.
Halo didn't give you quite as deep a connection to the characters as most of these games, but after playing through three games, each time overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds but losing the few characters you did get to know by the end, you really earn that "Humanity, fuck yeah!" feeling when the war is finally over. And seeing the little 117 scratched into the monument at the end was enough to crystalize all those emotions of loss and triumph at the very end.
The feelings are real even if the characters aren't, its no different than how you can know what happiness is just by imagining it, you dont need to actually be experiencing it to know it
@@Menhtrol like every passionate, respectful fan should be 😉 Thanks for following up on my suggestion. It's easy to grow jaded nowadays, with all the shit going on.
Arthur was one of the saddest out of all of these.. he was a great man. When the gang turned on him, Javier didn't point his gun at Arthur. That was a sign of respect. Rest in Peace, Mr. Morgan.
Me too, not only the story is not that engaging but gameplay and quests are also boring for me, so I quited around 30~40%. Funny enough, had the same experience with GTA5. But rdr2 is stunningly beautiful and I yet want to finish it someday
RDR2 is possibly one of the greatest stories (not video game), but stories of this century. The protagonist (an antihero) is so flawed and human in his ways that we can all relate to him (and I mean no disrespect, but believe men relate to him better). He’s a man’s man; strong, tough, loving, caring, and flawed to the core looking to make some good in the world after all his sins…
Trust it’s the one of the best games you will ever play if you don’t like it no pressure but get out of the snow and get through chapter 2 then it really gets going there’s so much to explore something around every corner but don’t rush it and try not to spoil it too much that’s my biggest regret also playing red dead one after will have so much more meaning.
Video games aren’t just games, they’re stories. They’re stories that we can be a part of. They’re stories we can have an effect on. Video games have changed peoples’ lives and yet they’re still to blame for violence. Video games are an escape from the real world. They allow us to be our true selves. Video games aren’t to blame, but to give good credit to. Video games are stories, amazing stories, and nothing can change my mind.
I love how this video isn’t just games we all have seen, you did a wide diversity, but let’s be honest, we needed to see more god of war, and god of war ragnarok, those games hit different
@@qc6265 Sorry man, but I have to disagree. Nothing wrong with showing your opinion, but go check out the very opening of God of War 2018, go back to God of War Chains of Olympus and find Kratos reuniting with Calliope, his daughter, only to lose her again. God of War: Ghost of Sparta has Kratos discovering the fate of his mother as she has been transformed into a monster and is forced to kill her to put her out of her suffering, and then finds the fate of his brother, and just when he thought he could save him, now has to bury him. God of War Ascension shows us of what happened to Kratos as he was held by the Furies, and was able to escape because of their son, Orkos, who was pretty much the only friend he ever made in the series. Only for him to have to kill him at Orkos' own request so that he could be sure his friend would live free. God of War 3 has him as an already bitter man in the face of much loss, and yet even then, he still has something to lose with Pandora, the daughter of Hephaestus as she sacrifices herself to open the box and give him the power of Hope, even if he tries to keep her away to save her. And finally, his redemption in God of War Ragnarok. After so much suffering and failure, this man was finally able to save his family. God of War is a modern tragedy of their rendition of Kratos; a man who has lost it all, and tasted the most bitter of lows, and before eventually, finding forgiveness for his own sins, a path better than the one he made.
Just the first few words of unshaken after playing RDR2... Oof. "May I stand unshaken, Amid, amidst the crash of the world" Few songs can make my eyes water so quickly.
You are such a goat for putting Ark. it is not as popular as any of these other impactful games like TLOU and RDR2 but it is such an emotion and amazing game. The ending of extinction got me tearing up. Heck pretty much every ascension in Ark was getting me teared up but Exticntion was goated. The music and pretty much everything about it perfect. It felt like the perfect ending (we all know how that turned out)
Look into Horizon Zero Dawn, especially when Elisabet Sobeck gives her farewell speech. That shit hit me hard and deep. The circumstances and that she willingly makes that choice in order to save the what she worked so hard to acomplish.
Haha, deadman's gun... After playing rdr2, rdr1 feels different... I remember it was night when finished red dead and man the music... it hits you, you feel like a part of you is missing... It's more than a game, that's for sure
Videogames just give you the perfect window into any universe you could dream of. A futuristic warzone, zombies, dungeons and alien planets. Love, death, adventure....there's just SO much hope and dreams in videogames. I'll never stop living the thousand of lives that they give me.
Never played a video game in my life. But coming across cutscenes set to music opened my ears to a whole different genre of music. I listen daily to modern orchestral style music from the games sound tracks and bands I have never heard of before.
Finally a subnautica clip. I dont know what it is but this game just holds a very special place in my heart and i totally teared up at the end. Its great to it in an edit like this
First gaming system I owned was a Magnavox Odyssey. All games where in black and white, had no sound and though I never played one I've been told of games that required a boardgame as well to get the full experience. If you told me then that games where going to one day become some of the most influential art and media. I would've asked you to let me get some of that herion.
first quote is so true, I remember I started journaling because of Arthur Morgan and RDR2. The fact that you can just revisit an old experience and reflect on it from the future really fascinated me. Now it's a great way for me to be in tune with my emotions and why I feel the way I feel. Sometimes I still feel like I'm Arthur when I'm writing down in my journal.
Thank you, for giving me these memories about red dead redemption 2, Arthur is truly one of the best characters I've ever played, and the way he goes out, the way he breaks, truly makes me feel as if he is real, because he is, in my heart. I miss him
every good game is a lesson shown in such a way that it burns that lesson into the psyche of all who experience it... these clips show but the mark of the brand that lesson left behind
This is amazing! While I was watching, some other game scenes came to mind, and I think they'd fit really well in this. I made a list: -Lee's death in The Walking Dead Game Season 1 -Max and Chloe at the end of Life Is Strange -Hank hugging Connor at one of the endings of Detroit: Become Human -Daniel Diaz using his powers for the first time in Life Is Strange 2 -Clementine reuniting with Kenny in The Walking Dead Game Season 2 -Franklin, Michael and Trevor watching the sunset together at the end of GTA V -Ethan Mars rescuing Shaun at the end of Heavy Rain -Everyone gathered around the campsite in The Quarry -A sunset in Minecraft -The summit cutscene in Stardew Valley -A peaceful lantern night in Terraria -B12's shutdown at the end of Stray -CJ, Sweet, Ryder and Big Smoke at the drive-thru in GTA San Andreas -Vaas' speech at the start of Far Cry 3 -Clementine and AJ talking at the end of The Walking Dead Game: Final Season -Niko and Roman Bellic reuniting at the start of GTA IV
I like how this video doesn't just cover the emotional moments of games, but also the moments where there's a wonder. Video games are meant to make us feel happiness, sadness, anger, or anything.
MGSV made me want to read about all african civil wars and other conflicts from the cold war. It also kind of teached me that sometimes there is no right or wrong in war. Also taught me the strenght of unity and team, reflected by the diamond dogs. These guys all spoke different languages and they still managed to be one of the best PMCs in the world
That one quote from Hideo Kojima is the truest statement I think you could make about video games, and why I never believe anyone who says gameplay is the most important factor in a video game.
Honestly i thought that this would be another boring "its just a game video" but when Deadmans Gun started playing at 3:49 i changed my mind. I just killed Dutch in rdr1 and came back to the farm and it pains me knowing whats going to happend next. I love that you featured more games here that are not that known.
The feels I got from this video will be engraved into my mind for years to come. Thank you for making this true sign of the feelings, memories and ties we gamers make to the stories and characters we learn to love.
Seeing humanity in Master Chief makes me tear up, man. Halo: CE is what got me into video games and seeing such a strong character show weakness... just damn.
Chief has been through hell and back since his journey first began, I am just glad our Spartan hasn't given up, because he isn't just a soldier or an ideal, he is our hero, and there is a human behind that helmet.
Thank you for remembering Outer Wilds. The video is really good. I'm sure if you played Nier you would have added it as well... Judging by your taste, I can very easily recommend it to you, both Automata and Replicant, although I personally prefer Automata
@@donsleythegoat The sense of exploration Outer Wilds gave me was like none other, all works so seamlessly and there is always something interesting around the corner. Regarding Nier. The first episode of the anime adaptation came out just yesterday but to be honest the game presents the story better so far so I say stick to the game. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
This video is incredible. A true testament to all the emotional scenes in video games that got is hard. to be honest though I believe the COD zombie clip was a little out of place, but Battlefield 1's emotional scene are severely underrated so thank you for respresenting my Alma mater of Video Games.

All the sacrifices made, all the pain and suffering, just to be turned away by the ones you saved. Betrayed by those you sought to save, you have nothing left but the horrors of the wastes. The Hell you knew became your new home.
dude this might actually be the best "its just a game"
@Kellen felt weird to see ethan but not BT :(
@Kellen same here, but even that final moment from bt should show up at least once. Good vid on him tho
Games aren't just meant to be played they are meant to be enjoyed. I can't tell you how many life lessons I've learned from video games alone. I saw the characters in these stories as my heroes and more when i was a kid. Games like Black ops 2, MW2, FNAF, Minecraft, Scrap Mechanic, the Halo franchise and many more, they made my childhood. They will always have a place in my heart.
Ecstatic to see outer wilds receive some recognition in one of these kinds of videos. That game truly made me think about life differently. “It’s the kind of thing that makes you glad you stopped and smelled the pine trees along the way, you know?”
That game is borderlands 2 for me
"It's not about changing the world, it's about doing our best to leave the world the way it is"
One thing that stuck with me since I first experienced it was a scene from Halo Infinite where you rescue a dying Spartan. Your controller starts vibrating to his heartbeat. So, as the cutscene progresses, the vibrations pulse weaker and slower, until it finally stops as he dies. You literally feel his life slip away.
I know. I loved Spartan Griffin. I- I felt true pain, because seeing a Spartan due, isn't just watching a soldier or human die, you are watching an ideal- and a person who is dedicated to the safety of humanity. "Spartans never die, they're just missing in action."
Outer Wilds was such a beautiful game.
its perfect
Ori and the Blind Forest really deepened my appreciation for music and made me think about what love (especially parental/familial love) really is
My personal philosophy is that primarily, games should be fun. That's why they're called games, people play to have fun. But damn, if that game makes you feel something on top of that, something real that can't be replicated with another entertainment medium for the way it can connect you with the world and characters by **putting you** (or putting you in control) in that world, that's one hell of a bonus IMO.
No film has ever come close to making me feel as devastated as I did at the end of Red Dead Redemption 2. Video Games ARE Art.
Video games are art
dude i feel the same way but with mass effect 3
all my hard work throughout the series eventually pays off and humanity survives, but the person i play as does not. (along with dr falicier from princess and the frog my man admiral anderson)
The Last of Us Part 2 for me, but RDR2 is up there for me.
@@Greene362both last of us games the scene in the 2 game where you flash back to Ellies birthday and he asked if he did good i fucking cryed so hard I never had a dad who did that
I’ve cried too more video games than anything else. I didn’t have many friends growing up and now that I’m an adult I don’t have any but man some times when I play those games I just don’t feel so alone anymore.
You are not alone my friend I am like you I tried to build friendships but to no avail so when I finish my work instead of lounging and having fun with my friends who I never had as most people do or I go out for a walk with my girlfriend which I also could not have. I buy some household groceries and head back home to take a shower and have a cup of coffee after that I head to my room, turn on my computer and get my happiness among my eternal friends.
Master Chief (Halo)
Arther (Red Dead Redemption 2)
Sam (Death Stranding)
Aloy (Horizon Zero Dawn)
and more
Truly
I am crying right now because i can relate so much to you
@@ismailch6668 Same ❤
Red Dead Redemption 2 is quite literally a lesson in itself. You could be 75 years old and still learn some beautiful things about life simply through that game. In my opinion it is the best game ever designed, and produced.
It is honestly a true masterpiece. I don't think we'll experience anything quite like it for quite some time.
But, who knows, maybe GTAVI will top it.
Same❤
Me: “oh this isn’t all that sad”
“I’m afraid” RDR2 clip:
as long as I've watched folks play videogames up until I could finally afford the money to buy videogames. It taught* me one thing, and that's "We all got our own Story to tell..."
"I gave you all I had, I did" - Arthur Morgan
A million likes for including the outer wilds. An under appreciated gem.
" Take a gambe that love exists, and do a loving act "
The best games I played in the last 5 years that I'll remember for life:
Hollow Knight
Outer Wilds
Cyberpunk 2077
Elden Ring
Death Stranding
Death stranding was very overhated
Outer wilds is a phenomenal game with such great story telling and visuals
Losing Jackie Welles guts me every time.
Outer Wilds is my favorite of all time
Hollow knights ending hits different
"get a life" they said... Little do they know, that I'm a gamer - That I've had the privilege to have lived a thousand lives...
But its not real, I would rather live it out myself
@@tangent.arc38618 life could be a simulation too. Nothing is real. The reality is whatever you want
@@tangent.arc38618 so u want to fight in wars ? Kill people? You don’t even know what you are talking about
@@Leo.de99 Since when did I say what games would be cool to live out. Also If its so bad why do you want to live a fake life. You dont know what you are talking about
@VideosByLukes Nobody on their deathbed ever wished to play more video games
Thank you so much for this beautiful creation!
Video games have been an essential part of my life, specially Halo and Call of Duty.
Master Chief And Ghost have gotten me through some of the worst parts of childhood and I'll forever be in debt of them.
Games like the last of us, just hit so different. It’s hard to come back to reality from those.
Last of us is the greatest peace of art imo
I like how the clip from Subnautica is very short yet it still fits. A view of the world as you fly over it, the breath taking view. It was a satisfying end to the game.
THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING COD IW AND BF1! MASTERPIECE CAMPAIGNS!
I learned a lot of things playing need for speed series, Forza series, GT, Asseto Corsa, Ride Series, MotoGP series, F1 series, and other racing game that I cannot remember.
One of a few I learned:
Everyone can drive fast, but not everyone can drive fast and precise at the same time that person being faster than the previous time.
The lack of Mass Effect with Mordin singing "Scientist Salarian" is criminal.
Everyone should play Outer Wilds. The game will capture the pure childhood experience of exploration and adventure then at the end of the day the universe dies, and you do it all over again, but this time to explore a different planet.
The moment where Chief sits down besides Brohammer and tells him it is human to make mistakes and we all do that, was one of the best moments in Halo history.
Halo didn't give you quite as deep a connection to the characters as most of these games, but after playing through three games, each time overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds but losing the few characters you did get to know by the end, you really earn that "Humanity, fuck yeah!" feeling when the war is finally over. And seeing the little 117 scratched into the monument at the end was enough to crystalize all those emotions of loss and triumph at the very end.
Non gamers: Your feelings for these characters, they aren't real.
Gamers: THEY ARE REAL TO ME!
The feelings are real even if the characters aren't, its no different than how you can know what happiness is just by imagining it, you dont need to actually be experiencing it to know it
"It's real to me, damnit!" Be sure to check the video were an emotional pro-wrestling fan shows his passion for the show and respect for the art.
@@tojiroh just watched it
He seems like such a sweet guy. 😊
@@Menhtrol like every passionate, respectful fan should be 😉
Thanks for following up on my suggestion. It's easy to grow jaded nowadays, with all the shit going on.
non gamers: is just a game
gamers: not to me, not anymore
Hans Zimmer music makes everything epic
didnt know hes done game soundtracks
@@user-ph3vt5eo6l only the crisis series and call of duty mw2
Arthur was one of the saddest out of all of these.. he was a great man. When the gang turned on him, Javier didn't point his gun at Arthur. That was a sign of respect. Rest in Peace, Mr. Morgan.
I tried playing RDR2 a couple of times and just got bored. This video inspired me to give it one more chance.
The story does get better and better the more you play it
Me too, not only the story is not that engaging but gameplay and quests are also boring for me, so I quited around 30~40%. Funny enough, had the same experience with GTA5.
But rdr2 is stunningly beautiful and I yet want to finish it someday
RDR2 is possibly one of the greatest stories (not video game), but stories of this century. The protagonist (an antihero) is so flawed and human in his ways that we can all relate to him (and I mean no disrespect, but believe men relate to him better). He’s a man’s man; strong, tough, loving, caring, and flawed to the core looking to make some good in the world after all his sins…
Trust it’s the one of the best games you will ever play if you don’t like it no pressure but get out of the snow and get through chapter 2 then it really gets going there’s so much to explore something around every corner but don’t rush it and try not to spoil it too much that’s my biggest regret also playing red dead one after will have so much more meaning.
Bruh you spoiled yourself one of the greatest scenes ever💀
Video games aren’t just games, they’re stories. They’re stories that we can be a part of. They’re stories we can have an effect on. Video games have changed peoples’ lives and yet they’re still to blame for violence. Video games are an escape from the real world. They allow us to be our true selves. Video games aren’t to blame, but to give good credit to. Video games are stories, amazing stories, and nothing can change my mind.
I love how this video isn’t just games we all have seen, you did a wide diversity, but let’s be honest, we needed to see more god of war, and god of war ragnarok, those games hit different
In the sequel ima add more god of war
Perhaps even horizon. Towards the end of the game Aloy walks towards her "mother's" corpse and that's a heavy moment.
No we don't. Do you only know one game? There's zero emotional scenes in God of war
@@qc6265 Sorry man, but I have to disagree. Nothing wrong with showing your opinion, but go check out the very opening of God of War 2018, go back to God of War Chains of Olympus and find Kratos reuniting with Calliope, his daughter, only to lose her again.
God of War: Ghost of Sparta has Kratos discovering the fate of his mother as she has been transformed into a monster and is forced to kill her to put her out of her suffering, and then finds the fate of his brother, and just when he thought he could save him, now has to bury him.
God of War Ascension shows us of what happened to Kratos as he was held by the Furies, and was able to escape because of their son, Orkos, who was pretty much the only friend he ever made in the series. Only for him to have to kill him at Orkos' own request so that he could be sure his friend would live free.
God of War 3 has him as an already bitter man in the face of much loss, and yet even then, he still has something to lose with Pandora, the daughter of Hephaestus as she sacrifices herself to open the box and give him the power of Hope, even if he tries to keep her away to save her.
And finally, his redemption in God of War Ragnarok. After so much suffering and failure, this man was finally able to save his family.
God of War is a modern tragedy of their rendition of Kratos; a man who has lost it all, and tasted the most bitter of lows, and before eventually, finding forgiveness for his own sins, a path better than the one he made.
@@qc6265 crack? is it crack youre smoking?
As someone who watched their parent slowly waste away with lung diseases, RDR 2 was devastating the first time I played it.
Thousands of hours and a thousand times more memories, and I wouldn’t give them back for anything.
Well… that’s not quite true…
Outer wilds is such a masterpiece, I'm so happy to see it receive recognition
No way you put OW clips onto this. Fuck they gave me goosebumps, thx.
Edit: OH GOD THE ENDING.
5:12 OMG YOU DID IT, YOU INCLUDED IW..... IM SO HAPPY RN THIS ISBMY FAVORITE COD CAMPAIGN, ETHAN WAS SUCH A GREAT ROBOT
Of any videos that should have more exposure/views is this! So much character and heart! Great job
i'm a grown ass man, but 4:52 ended me... 😢
Same but I'm 17
I cried my eyes out in two games, The Last of Us Part II and RDR2, and because of that they are my favourite games ever
Just the first few words of unshaken after playing RDR2... Oof.
"May I stand unshaken,
Amid, amidst the crash of the world"
Few songs can make my eyes water so quickly.
They fear love because it creates a world they cannot control.
This is why I love gaming. Great video and a great tribute to the stories and the journeys we get to be a part of❤️
You are such a goat for putting Ark. it is not as popular as any of these other impactful games like TLOU and RDR2 but it is such an emotion and amazing game. The ending of extinction got me tearing up. Heck pretty much every ascension in Ark was getting me teared up but Exticntion was goated. The music and pretty much everything about it perfect. It felt like the perfect ending (we all know how that turned out)
Yes finally someone mentioned ARK……….
Thank you 😭
Look into Horizon Zero Dawn, especially when Elisabet Sobeck gives her farewell speech. That shit hit me hard and deep. The circumstances and that she willingly makes that choice in order to save the what she worked so hard to acomplish.
Bro I swear the Ark Ascension is the saddest game experience... ESPECIALLY when it all goes crumbling down like that.. RIP H.L.N.A 😢
YES! The Outer Wilds song at the end was beautiful
This was indeed "the best 'its just a game' video ever made", brought me to tears, nostalgia and the memories flowing back
Haha, deadman's gun...
After playing rdr2, rdr1 feels different... I remember it was night when finished red dead and man the music... it hits you, you feel like a part of you is missing...
It's more than a game, that's for sure
Omg u put the infinite warfare last scene I loved that campaign so much
Feels like I'm watching my teenage years again lol
I see this and it reminds me of what a friend once taught me
"Life goes on but memories stay behind to make a mark"
Videogames just give you the perfect window into any universe you could dream of. A futuristic warzone, zombies, dungeons and alien planets. Love, death, adventure....there's just SO much hope and dreams in videogames. I'll never stop living the thousand of lives that they give me.
I'm not crying, you're crying
IM NOT CRYING YOUR CRYING
😢
Never played a video game in my life. But coming across cutscenes set to music opened my ears to a whole different genre of music. I listen daily to modern orchestral style music from the games sound tracks and bands I have never heard of before.
This was amazing, thank you
Finally a subnautica clip. I dont know what it is but this game just holds a very special place in my heart and i totally teared up at the end. Its great to it in an edit like this
First gaming system I owned was a Magnavox Odyssey. All games where in black and white, had no sound and though I never played one I've been told of games that required a boardgame as well to get the full experience. If you told me then that games where going to one day become some of the most influential art and media. I would've asked you to let me get some of that herion.
Ark was a big part for me, hell a lot of these games were, but nothing can overtop CoD and Ark... God man. They were more than just games.
Powerful stuff great vid! Red dead really got me. Dom's demise from GoW was a huge moment too
You've made me tear up , thank you for one of the best videos ever made ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
first quote is so true, I remember I started journaling because of Arthur Morgan and RDR2. The fact that you can just revisit an old experience and reflect on it from the future really fascinated me. Now it's a great way for me to be in tune with my emotions and why I feel the way I feel. Sometimes I still feel like I'm Arthur when I'm writing down in my journal.
this was beautiful and i think someone was cutting onions
Thank you, for giving me these memories about red dead redemption 2, Arthur is truly one of the best characters I've ever played, and the way he goes out, the way he breaks, truly makes me feel as if he is real, because he is, in my heart. I miss him
yeah, its still just a game... you re the ones that give it meaning.... the awesomeness is in all of you, the game just reminds you of this fact.
every good game is a lesson shown in such a way that it burns that lesson into the psyche of all who experience it... these clips show but the mark of the brand that lesson left behind
This is amazing!
While I was watching, some other game scenes came to mind, and I think they'd fit really well in this. I made a list:
-Lee's death in The Walking Dead Game Season 1
-Max and Chloe at the end of Life Is Strange
-Hank hugging Connor at one of the endings of Detroit: Become Human
-Daniel Diaz using his powers for the first time in Life Is Strange 2
-Clementine reuniting with Kenny in The Walking Dead Game Season 2
-Franklin, Michael and Trevor watching the sunset together at the end of GTA V
-Ethan Mars rescuing Shaun at the end of Heavy Rain
-Everyone gathered around the campsite in The Quarry
-A sunset in Minecraft
-The summit cutscene in Stardew Valley
-A peaceful lantern night in Terraria
-B12's shutdown at the end of Stray
-CJ, Sweet, Ryder and Big Smoke at the drive-thru in GTA San Andreas
-Vaas' speech at the start of Far Cry 3
-Clementine and AJ talking at the end of The Walking Dead Game: Final Season
-Niko and Roman Bellic reuniting at the start of GTA IV
I'll remember these! Maybe I'll put them in the sequel to this
I like how this video doesn't just cover the emotional moments of games, but also the moments where there's a wonder. Video games are meant to make us feel happiness, sadness, anger, or anything.
MGSV made me want to read about all african civil wars and other conflicts from the cold war. It also kind of teached me that sometimes there is no right or wrong in war. Also taught me the strenght of unity and team, reflected by the diamond dogs. These guys all spoke different languages and they still managed to be one of the best PMCs in the world
That one quote from Hideo Kojima is the truest statement I think you could make about video games, and why I never believe anyone who says gameplay is the most important factor in a video game.
Honestly i thought that this would be another boring "its just a game video" but when Deadmans Gun started playing at 3:49 i changed my mind. I just killed Dutch in rdr1 and came back to the farm and it pains me knowing whats going to happend next. I love that you featured more games here that are not that known.
The feels I got from this video will be engraved into my mind for years to come.
Thank you for making this true sign of the feelings, memories and ties we gamers make to the stories and characters we learn to love.
Seeing humanity in Master Chief makes me tear up, man. Halo: CE is what got me into video games and seeing such a strong character show weakness... just damn.
Chief has been through hell and back since his journey first began, I am just glad our Spartan hasn't given up, because he isn't just a soldier or an ideal, he is our hero, and there is a human behind that helmet.
One of the best one of these videos I've seen in while. Perfect background music, and an amazing selection of games. Almost made me cry.
I don't know of any movie or book that made me feel what Journey did. Absolutely incredible.
This made me cry while I was smoking tree🥹😭🤣 the music complements the scenes too much for me to hold in the emotions
That's all the reasons why i love playing games! Thank you!
The inception soundtrack makes it even better !
Truly the best "it's just a game" videos ever done
Thank you for remembering Outer Wilds. The video is really good. I'm sure if you played Nier you would have added it as well... Judging by your taste, I can very easily recommend it to you, both Automata and Replicant, although I personally prefer Automata
Yeah that game is my most favorite game ever. I was looking into Nier before but I just never had the time to play it yet.
I feel like people don't really appriecate outer wilds as a masterpiece that much. Thats why I included it in the video
@@donsleythegoat The sense of exploration Outer Wilds gave me was like none other, all works so seamlessly and there is always something interesting around the corner.
Regarding Nier. The first episode of the anime adaptation came out just yesterday but to be honest the game presents the story better so far so I say stick to the game. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
This video is incredible. A true testament to all the emotional scenes in video games that got is hard. to be honest though I believe the COD zombie clip was a little out of place, but Battlefield 1's emotional scene are severely underrated so thank you for respresenting my Alma mater of Video Games.
The best games I’ve ever played that genuinely moved and changed me as a person and honestly they’re so underrated. Mass effect 1-3
