what's a good game to play if you want to feel empty inside as you watch the credits roll?

>>723757595 (OP)
Nine sols, I can't even look at the credits song without feeling depressed

ready or not

The original NieR

>>723757715
Seconding this. Also Outer Wilds.

>>723757595 (OP)
Reading all the wheel of time books. Fuck thats a book hangover like none other.

>>723757715
came into this thread to reply with nine sols

Literally any porn game.

RE4 (not the DEmake) because then I know that it's over.

Are the ones after the author died any good?

Rez.

>>723758550
I only felt that because it was the first fantasy series i read, looking back its a pretty lame series. Mat and Thom are the only cool characters.
>>723759612
They are meh, if you are still invested in the story i'd say finish it but its not worth rereading everything just for them.

>>723759612
People absolutely love them. Personally I thought the first Sanderson was atrociously awful. Extreme good vs evil trope ruining characters. Book 2 and 3 are much better but both more woke and Perrin focused so still a downgrade. That said the end was great so...

>>723757595 (OP)
source of that image?

>>723759824
Well I agree on the only good characters, plus Verin, I wouldnt call it lame. It had a boomer comfyness to it, no matter how much he meandered.
Also the brutal hangover is from the crazy long investment the series is. Its longer than diskworld. There are 2 longer series I think, but not if you only include 100k ratings on goodreads.

IT BROKE ME memes aside, Mother 3 can get to you, especially the beginning and the end

This image is just a bit too clear for me. Could you make it crustier?

People who WANT to be feel empty inside via media consumption have never truly felt empty inside in their entire life.

I didn't feel empty. I just kept saying wow that was kino over and over and then bought the dlc so I could keep playing

>>723768401
>>723768152
Just added to my wishlist.

>>723768401
I don't know, anon.
With how many times the game tricks you into believing it's going to be the end, only for there to be more. Getting to the actual end really left me empty.

>>723757595 (OP)
Most good games, I get anxious the closer I get to finishing one i'm really enjoying because I don't want it to be over.

>>723759885
If we're talking the original sure, there was quite a bit of soul and mystery that made you want more.
And then you got more in the sequels and it just wasn't as good.

>>723768152
The game was satisfying to finish, the emptiness was only because I was just shown THAT at the end and wanted more.

I thought all of Cyberpunk's endings were bittersweet at best.
>>723759694
I can agree with this. Although no matter what, it's really fucking weird.

I dont know why but I got really emotional during the ending and the eel/turtle sequences.

>>723760668
Hope you have a blast!

If you're depressed enough, any game will do that.

>>723765502
Meanwhile, I keep trying to fill the emptiness with games and keep getting the post-game crash every time I finish one...

The Darkness
And I don't even mean the credits of the game.

Play this, and every time you struggle with a boss put the baby in the oven

nine sols is pure, pure kino. possibly my favorite game ever
when i realized the messages from the little sister were half a millenia ago i almost cried

>>723765502
> want a cool 10 second scene
> build 3 animatronic heads hooked up to an early computer so they all go through the same set of motions for easier compositing
> make 3 masks of varying levels of decomposition, which are also chemically set up to actively degrade during shooting
> get antique clothing experts from the smithsonian to help make 3 sets of steadily degrading clothing
> film all 3 heads going through the articulated motions
> use a computer, in 1988, to digitally composite the three takes over eachother in a staggered way, a process that took upwards of 9 hours per FRAME
> for a single 10 second long scene
They genuinely do note make them like they used to.

SOMA

This game taught me there is always more empty with each playthrough.

ignore the shartyfags that get super fucking uppity over this game for some reason. if you liked omori, you'll like endroll too

>>723774960
This.
Happens every time I finish a game that made me even slightly happy and the realization of it being over kicks in...

>>723759694
Seconding this. Any Icepick Game except for CARGO! will do though: Pathologic 1, 2, The Void, Know By Heart, I'd argue even Knock-Knock! will make you feel that way, though I get why most people would not get behind the last one.

Also, Cryostasis, Penumbra Overture+Black Plague and Bastion. All three have some of the best, most clever and most "touching" endings I've seen in games.

seeing that last bungie message inflicted my soul profoundly as a teenager

>what's a good game to play if you want to feel empty inside as you watch the credits roll?

You're faking it. I feel empty inside even playing uplifting shit because I know I just wasted my life on something unimportant.

>>723784210
>We have the crow at home

>>723784465
When was The Crow about Italian mobsters?

>>723765502
I am empty inside.
I didn't shed a tear at my grandparents funerals, yet i got watery eyes when i read/watch sad media.
Yeah, i'm a fucking sad excuse of a man.
I'm scared that i wouldn't even cry if my mother die.
Fuck this shit.

Bunch of nigger loving faggots.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of War post-patches that removed the retarded mtx system.
It's laughably fanficy in how it tries to fit with the movies' lore, but i have to admit it did felt liberating finishing the game and knowing Talion could finally move on.
That sequel bait at the end of the Elthariel DLC though feels so random, not sure why they couldn't let also Celebrimbor die.

>>723784465
Who died during the production of the darkness

>>723765173
Good shout, I should've seen the ending coming, too. Fuck.

>>723760560
i didn't have the same impact like Eathbound. it's not bad, just not as good.

>>723787681

I'm probably going to finish book 14 today, only a hundred pages left.

>>723760828
He did say original dude

>>723780364
Cryostasis definitely did not make you feel empty inside if you did things right, it was a rather uplifting message in fact.
