made me cry several times. 1) i cried cuz i sucked at the game and kept losing all my money by dying too often. There are no difficulty settings that I am aware of. it got better. 2) i cried because of the story. it was not really sad, but it made me feel things and think for myself. Both the main story, the side-quests, those non-explicit in-game story telling through art and gameplay - all of it. 3) i cried because i had to kill beicoli. I fell in love with her voice throughout my play-through and I felt actual pain inside when I pulled a trigger on her for the first time. But I was too enraged that she dared to steal Puppy that I shot her again after she told me where Puppy was without hesitation. 4) i cried just after i became good at the game. I felt proud of my skills for a moment, dodging and deflecting bullets, spinning like crazy and focusing on trick-shooting birds. But then it was revealed that some birds refuse to fire at you because they are pacifists and did not want to fight the war, they were drafted. I couldn't then pull a trigger on a bird with a white-band on their wing anymore. It affected me deeply and it made the gameplay much more engaging instantly as now on top of all the difficult, I had to focus and not shoot any pacifist birds 5) i cried as i was trying to be the best parent i could for the puppy, there is always something more I wanted Laika to say to her, something more to do with the people at the camp, something more to help end the war to make the world Puppy lives in a little better. But in the end of every major mission I felt like it's a vain victory. And it shows because nothing goes better in game: there are always more birds in the world and less hope in people. I went in the final mission ONLY as I felt like I could not do anything else in the camp. After I made sure there is nothing else on the map for me to see and possibly do for Puppy. I knew the game would end and I wouldn't get another chance. So I cried as I went in the final mission about me separating from this world and going up in the sky possibly never to return. 6) i cried because even the ending made me feel so small. nothing really changed about this horrible world through my actions. But I was also proud of what I did for the people in the village and of the sacrifice Laika makes for her daughter and where we live. 7) i cried after i finished the game because i realized i did not have to do 3 as I was scrolling through the achievements in Steam. it made me see the rage that really took me over as she stole Puppy from Laika. I felt like there is nothing I would not do to get her back and moreover I felt that I will kill anyone who actually threatens my family. Seeing that the band could've reunited at the camp at some point made me think that if I listened to her song till the end... I could've brought her back. She was as scared as anyone else and simply wanted to live a better life. But I killed her thinking I had no other choice... but there was 8) i cried because in another achievement i saw that I haven't actually brought all the gifts I could've gathered for Puppy. Knowing I could've done something more for her made me feel disappointed in myself on top of me not accomplishing something significant with the main story-line 9) i cried because i am really alone at this point in life and do not have anyone to share this experience with fully. this is the busiest time of my life since I am a fresh graduate. and i have friends, a girlfriend, a family, coworkers, and yet I am not in any position to feel safe or not judged for trying to enjoy a videogame in my spare time.Show moreShow less
