This is the best "its just a game" video ever made

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.

"This fire...what a warm and beautiful light it makes. [...] Whatever comes next...I do not think it is to be feared."

"Despite everything...it's still you."

I loved this compilation, an unusual arrangement, but they work very well together overall. So many games and differing stories can combine in our heads to inspire us and inspire creativity, or philosophy, or plain dumb fun. I'll raise a cup of Sap Wine to that. The good stuff, not the daunting digestive challenge.

The first time a game ever struck me in the heart. I was playing Final Fantasy 7. I spent hours leveling up my party, including Aerith. I looked up the strategy guide to get her final limit break and ultimate weapon. I felt so achieved because she was a great healer. Major life saver. The party member I always counted on. Then when her scene came with Sephiroth, I couldn't save her....Time stopped. My heart sank. It was the very first time, a game made me gently place down the controller, and break down crying as if I was saying goodbye to a close friend. When I had accepted what had happened, I spent the rest of the game filled with anger alongside with the other characters in the game. When the final battle came my way, I...did...not....show...mercy...I had my characters set up where no matter what Sephiroth did, Knights of the Round was around every corner. A limit break was locked and loaded, and when the credits rolled, I cried and took a break from video games for a few months.

Hey man it's cheating when you use that song.
And yes. Oh God above yes. Yes.

Arthur Morgan was a true legend. I was depressed when I saw him die

No cyberpunk = mistake

This is really insidious. OP took an actual good video you all have good feelings for and edited it with alt right shit like the Far Cry 5 taking guns away guy and the CoD zombies parody scene. Fuck this

My it's just a game moment:

"Jim?"
"It's okay. I got you."
*cue uplifting ethereal female vocal music*

StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty

Me: 😭

You asshole just hit me right in my feels

All that and no Gears Of War

The moment I heard deadmans gun I knew it was over. I'm not making it through this video withing crying

At the end of the day games are a medium for witch to tell stories and they’ve told some good ones

I spent the whole time going what why this game omg Arthur 😢. This huh? No Arthur...😢 Call of duty really? "I gave you all i had" crying 😢😢

in Poland we say "once, that was". they don't make games like that anymore that arouse such emotions, pure tears of happiness or sadness.

A time when you see the perfection of the game publishers' actions not counting on hyper profit, but on normal profit.

ONCE , tHAT WAS 😢

why isnt valiant hearts here? "War makes men mad"

Video games will always be better than movies . God bless the true ones out there . Aren’t many left . The real ones ………

Best ever video

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"

This made me unreasonably emotional. I am sad I am just another brick in the wall, with no purposeful emotional impactful story. These games are amazing but they make me so depressed about my own life

Creativity and imagination is the biggest thing of life it’s what created just about everything. Creativity and will. It can lead to mistakes or your best creation yet, it can be beautiful, it can get ugly, it is the way we express ourselves to showcase ourselves. To show our skills, our interests, everything. One seed can lead to forest. And that’s what is beautiful about life. It’s not just a spark. It’s life itself, what we were given as a gift to show who we are.

Israel and women invading male spaces destroyed video games

I'd like to wish that these games, these stories - bring us together in moments. Regardless of gender, age, who we are marrying or voting for - these stories are ones we experience together. And if you ask me - that's pretty profound. Here's to gaming friends, there's nothing like it.

It Is never Just A Game 😥

I like the Pearson ending, he got out, survived, but misses the life and the old gang.

Say what you want about Battlefield 1, The storyline is emotional as heck, And even in the multiplayer modes, it still gives you that feeling of Hopelessness, Explosions surrounding your general area, hearing the screams of fallen men, the Dreadful sound of a Behemoth entering the warzone, Especially if its an Airship, while its the worst Behemoth in the game, It is by far the most imposing and intimidating, especially when it's shadow is casted right over you

I need some mass effect

Why doesn’t anyone ever put Titanfall 2 in these videos? "Trust me."

Why ?! Why ?! Why?! Why all that kind of videos have not any scene of "METRO" game series ? Whyyyyyy ?!

very weel done! Fir elden ring i would have put the scene with godfrey having his son morgott in his arms where he says "It's been a long while Morgott..." and when dying his grace points at the tarnished as the last son's wish for his father.

My god when i heared 14.3 billion years later it hits you like a tsunami

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.

Where’s the clip where Cayde-6 dies

their movies

hell yes! outer wilds 4 times!

Its a crime not to put minecraft here

Not all games make me cry but some of them are really masterpieces that maked me cry and i do not cry easily

As someone who watched their parent slowly waste away with lung diseases, RDR 2 was devastating the first time I played it.

Some games have made me cry since the 90s.
Many of these made me quit before the end due to not being a fun game and not caring about the characters at all.

I didn't cry from my playthrough of god of war Ragnarok but I cried when I watched it again, especially the scenes with atreus and kratos, reminds me so much of my father and I relationship.

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.

Shout out to Mafia 1... The Ending always gives me goosebumps. It shows that every decision you make in your life has consequences... Every Friendship you made can fade away as fast as you can think.

every time i see arthur saying "i'm afraid" I want to cry😢😢😢❤❤

forgot the ender dragon exploding in the end

Titles a lie

I named my son Arthur

You forgot Detroit Become human. You included in video.

Halo reach was the greatest video game representation of sacrifice.

Death Stranding is a Masterpiece, but it requires you to slow down and contemplate, something most players these days can't or aren't willing to do because of the fear they might look inside themselves after a long time.

The struggle of life.
That's all there is...all there will ever be.
A blessing...a curse.
