Coming to terms with the fact that you've exhausted all dialogue options of a character you've come to know and love fills me with melancholy.

>>389222661
The first Fable gives me this feeling

>>389222661
Its depressing, yes. There are plenty of games where I've experienced this, I think FF11 is the most poignant.

>>389222787
>most of your party have left somewhere never to be seen
>they're still with you, but give a generic one sentence response when talked to

Which is the worst of these?

>>389222661
That's why I try and do all optional quests before facing the boss.
As soon as those credits roll I'm done with a game.

>>389222976
>As soon as those credits roll I'm done with a game.
Same here. Once I'm done, I'm done.

>>389222787
>your favourite character dies
>you save him, but he ends up miserable
Which of these is worse?

Final Fantasy XV.

Why not just make all that shit part of the main game. I'm fucking dead.

I'm trying to 100% the 3rd gen pokemon games as a sort of childhood closure thing. I essentially only have the battle frontier in Emerald left to do.

It's sad to think that this is it. After this I'll have no good reason to play them again for a very long time.

>>389222661
I really wish i had waited until I beat the sidequests in arkham knight to beat the final boss. I missed out on so mich optional dialogue without that dick following me

Intense feels

>>389223102
>your favorite character dies
>you bring them back to life, but they just get pissed at you and either kill themself or try to kill you depending on how you treated them throughout the game

>>389223423
this is how every dwarf fort adventure mode game I play ends
I can't explain why, but there's something weirdly bittersweet about returning to the shitty little town you started out in, hearing the same cookie-cutter personality-lite NPCs you encountered on the way out say "it's good to see you again," setting down the trophies from all of your fights, and retiring the character

>>389222939
KOTOR I & II kinda, it's not exactly what's described but the contrast once you have exhausted a character's dialogue/personal story is second to none

>>389223102
>favorite character is a traitor

Fuck those feels.
Every single time I bite the bullet and go through the endgame sequences of games like Fallout or TES I lose all drive to play any of the rest of the games, it's horrible. I don't even touch the main story lines these days for fear of getting those feels

>>389222661

Dark Souls got to be like that. I played through numerous NG+ runs in Demon's Souls and DS 1, but maybe only 2 runs of DS2 and 1 of DS3.

Also Persona games. I always start again but I never follow through.

Play good games.
Half of my Xenoblade Chronicles X playtime is post game side quests, and I am nowhere near the end of them

Basically any dragon quest game

>playing Skyrim
>finish the main quest and the DLCs
>finally put on the amulet of Mara
>get married
>settle down
>store all my weapons and armor, put on some normal clothing
>sit at my table and quite the game
I try to do a closing for all my games,
It feels right for there to be ending of character's importance in a story and just have them fade into nothing.

>>389222661
>Saints Row 4
>Already feels lifeless
>Somehow feels even emptier after you beat the game

>>389222661
>Achievement Unlocked
>The Dark Soul
>stare into a thousand yards for what felt like a pure minute
>press start
>exit game

>and then he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer

>game ends on a bittersweet note
>there's a post game where all the party members continue doing random bullshit around the world with a party member who is supposed to be dead

Tales games are fucking stupid.

just wait until FROM announces King's Field V or whatever else they have cooking at TGS

>>389222661
Dragon's Dogma is the absolute worst at this.

>>389226265
When I finished the main quest in Skyrim I just climbed a mountain and jumped off of it and quit the game before my character hit the ground.

San Andreas was the worst at this. It's a very story heavy game with loads of characters. You finish the final mission on a heavy note, everyone got together for a happy ending, and then CJ just goes out and all those characters disappear so you can drive around an empty world alone with no meaning.

>>389226617
This, this so much. I played Dark Souls almost non-stop for 4-5 months until I finally got the last achievement, and then I basically just stopped. I haven't been able to play it in the same way since then.

>>389224527
I played NG+ enough times in both Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne to get the platinum, but I didn't bother even once in DS2 and 3 or DeS

>>389222661
This is how Pokemon Moon made me feel

>>389224258
exactly what I was going to say. Carth was my favorite character in KR1, but the rate of dialogue was fucking awful, and there's this anticlimactic ending which leaves several questions unanswered, even in the sequel game.

>>389222939

>character dies helping you fight a miniboss
>or is inspired by how you fought the miniboss alone and ventures out into the wastelands to be like you where they turn into a mindless beast

Finishing a GTA game,like GTA 5 or SA feels lonely and sad

Time for Genocide Route

I felt like that with horizon

I loved the game before I finished it but now I'm just waiting on the expansion

That's why I never finished any Final Fantasy before maxing out levels and doing all the optional content. I did this until XIII when I found out there is only one side quest and lost my hope with the franchise altogether.

>>389222661
I legitimately expressed these same feels when I tried to describe how I would feel if my girlfriend killed herself/disappeared from my life without us doing the things we were meant to do together like four days ago. Thanks for understanding, anon. She didn't.

The thing with Xenoblade X is that it doesn't have an "end", just a dumb cliffhanger that will never be solved, not even a conclusion open to interpretation

>>389229369
>just a dumb cliffhanger that will never be solved
Could be worse
It could've ended on a dumb cliffhanger that will never be solved despite getting a sequel because the writter changed the plot during development and somehow ending it in the same place (except expecting you to interpret it as a proper ending)

That's why I fucking hated Oblivion and skyrim. Morrowing encouraged you to take your time and the big evil waited for you.

Play a new game you fucking faggots

This killed witcher 3 for me.
I enjoyed the fuck out of it and wanted to do sidequests, but when you are standing in this giant empty castle after the ending, and there are no main characters around, it just crumbled on me, i closed it and never came back, even for dlc.

I hate that feeling of knowing the game is about to be over.

Did you do this as Marston or Marston jr?

>many hours later, return to the final boss door after having turned over every stone the game has to offer
>character is now completely OP compared to the relatively weak final boss, all atmosphere is lost and it's been so long since you saw the main story that the ending has little impact

>>389233505
It's bittersweet. This especially made me remember that part from Dark Souls after you acquire all lord souls and put them into the lordvessel, when walking down the stairs towards the Kiln of the First Flame, you can see the ghosts of the black knights wandering around with the white fog around you, and that slightly mysterious soundtrack playing

>Grand Theft Auto Vice City
>beat the game, credits roll, and you're put back out on the streets
>get that one last phone call
>keep hoping someone else calls you as you wander around but it never happens

This is what happens to games after the illusion dies off or wears out. They become a kind of heartbreaking sight.

People who overestimate replayability probably don't even appreciate the illusion (which is how a game gives pleasure), they just like having a game to occupy them for a hundred hours.

>>389233936
The Dig maybe? I dont remember the game exactly but a point&click adventure where the characters end up on an alium world where there are green crystals that can resurrect, but the resurrection comes at a cost..
