I cant say I have - but I would if Vagrant Story 2 appeared...

If this doesn't make you then nothing will

Fix it.

Crying over announcements is one thing.....but over a 'remaster' and a glorified DLC of a 6 year old game? Geez!

BTW....was everything in that direct a sequel, port, remaster or spin off? Ok, I think DecaPolice was new and that stupid fashion game....but I think EVERYTHING else was rehashed crap.

Humans are emotional creatures. Right, Leo?

 

[Jim Ryan other Clone]

People got emotional during the Nintendo Direct?

The Direct from yesterday?

The one with fuck all?

ZELDAAAA

 

[Lokaum D+]

Ppl cry over a boat in a cartoon, the world is full of soft ppl

 

[Tomeru]

I don't cry.


I shed tears.


I did get erect when FF7R was announces though. I'm like that. A man.

I remember when they announced Final Fantasy 7 Remake and a bunch of Gen Z streamers lost their minds. Screaming crying etc

I was like “Dudes, I’ve had the original game since I drove to the store and bought it new at release, why the fuck are you screaming like it’s the 2nd coming?”

I was there. I was fully gripped in the Sephiroth weeb fan club. I imported action figures to hang on my wall. I was there. Trust me, FF7 isn’t the best one.

The best ones are 4&6. And I’d even say 8 and 10 are better. And I say trust knowing fully well the issues 8 has.

 

[Hayabusa83]

Imagine crying over a bunch of roms released on a subscription service lol... Consumers these days are pathetic.

 

[SweetShark]

I clap after sex.

Spoiler: Clap clap clap

 

[RainblowDash]

Games bring that much joy, it’s that simple.

 

[calistan]

Now it's just people crying into a camera for likes and clicks. It's acting. I was at Nintendo's pre-E3 show in 2004, and that one was pretty intense and obviously a total surprise to all in attendance.

 

[TheCed]

Most of it is Youtube fake reaction stuff.

Reaction videos get clicks. So if you over react, you get more clicks.

Don't get me wrong, I understand having a reaction to something really unexpected or a long awaited anouncement. But if you react like this avery 2 or 3 trailers, it's for le clicks, nothing more than that.

I don't believe I've ever cried for an anouncement, but I do remember the Cloud and the Sephiroth Reveals for Smash got me to physically stand up and then being very exited for a few minutes before sitting back down.

 

[WitchHunter]

Watching the direct live, a bunch of people were like “omg im literally crying!!” When they saw something they were excited for. Then i saw reaction videos where people were actually crying. Maybe im just a heartless old man, but shedding tears over game announcements seems way over the top to me. I feel like these are the same people who un-ironically say “lets gooo!”. Am i just a cranky old man, or are these reactions actually way over the top?

Brainwashed idiots, basement dwellers in mommy's dungeon. So living in a bubble, sleeping on Yoda pillows, having waifu girlfriends in vr and of course granma wipes their arse when they want to fart, but accidentally shit themselves . : DDDD

Or...

Yes you’re cranky, I’ll cry for real when the MGS remake gets revealed, I’ll cry even harder if it looks like shit…What can I say, I love MGS

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Like anything else, it just depends if you’re a cryer or not.

I myself never cry, like ever. But long-awaited game announcements, just like a movie or book that makes one cry, either happy or sad tears. I’d imagine it’s like that

And, you know just because you don’t cry or I don’t cry, it doesn’t mean no one else should

 

[Hurahn7]

I don't understand this shit either. I watched the direct8 after it was over so I could skip over the filler. I saw the Metroid announcement and I raised an eyebrow because my wife was playing it Wii and I was playing it on Wii U. We both started over and much prefer playing it with Pro Controllers.

 

[Bigfroth]

I always assume in the reactions with an extreme close-up on the face that right out of frame is a large onion cut up on a paper plate.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Don't judge me... I did cry at the end of Gravity Rush 2.

And also when they played their songs in Japan Studio VR.

I'm tough-minded, but Gravity Rush does make me cry... And I'm not ashamed to admit it.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Real men only cry during sex

I would cry... Only if I knew I got someone pregnant by accident.

 

[GenericUser]

Tears are a sign of emotions. A thing, certain people still possess (rumored).

 

[nightmare-slain]

Only time I'd cry is if Bloodborne 2 or a PC port of 1 is announced.

 

[GeekyDad]

Spontaneous nostalgia for being breast fed as a baby?

 

[Camreezie]

Soy allergy

 

[SweetShark]

Huh, I made a joke about buttcheeks clapping but I never wrote what I think about this.

To be fair I think crying is overreacting and I can't see myself crying for an announcement.
But screaming with excitement? Oh boy, YES! The recent announcement that made me scream was "Hades II" and I felt goOooOooOOOood...

 

[German Hops]

Because we're bitch-made.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

As has been said, views. I can't stand "reaction" videos like that.

 

[RaduN]

People will do literally anything for attention and money these days. Anything.

...even cry at game announcements..

 

[Games of Today]

I was borderline crying when Six Days in Fallujah got announced again after a 10 year hiatus.

 

[AJUMP23]

They place far to much value on things that don't matter. Their life has not developed well rounded meaning. Also some people over react for the clicks.

 

[Umbasaborne]

As has been said, views. I can't stand "reaction" videos like that.

Agreed, its so fucking cringe and transparent, watching these morons fake reactions for engagement. Get a real job

Absolutely not. 6 is definitely up there but I will die on the hill that 10 sucks fucking ass... Damn man going from the cool dystopian setting, the horror and psychological themes of 7 to literally 40+ hours of a bunch of dudes with abs hanging out on the beach was some BS as a child. (And don't start with Lulu, she's a busted up hoe.) Plus in all seriousness the rock-paper-scissors battle system makes random encounters a chore. Ditching ATB is the one good thing the game did

On topic though I've never cried during a game announcement. That's absurd. It's either performative or these are people with emotional disorders of some kind.

[SirTerry-T]

I only cry pearly tears of joy.
Not from my eyes.
