I recall a preteen version of myself bawling over Shadows plunge down to earth in Sonic Adventure 2s final moments, and yes, Im man enough to admit it.The ending of Skies of Arcadia and certain moments in Valkyria Chronicles always get me a bit worked up, and more recently one of the route endings in Virtues Last Reward had me glassy-eyed and dazed for the rest of the night. I may have even shed a red-white-and-blue tear when world-hero and 50-mission Ironman vet Andrei Atlas Kusnetsov saved humanity in XCOM. Hes Russian, so thats doubly impressive. Gone Home is not one of those games."
