10 Impactful Moments That Made Gamers Cry (With Joy)
5. Finishing Dark Souls For The First Time
So youve made your way to the final boss of Dark Souls. After already slugging your way through seemingly impossible sections like Sens Fortress, Smough and Ornstein and even the buggy as hell Blight Town, the end is in sight - yet youve still got one more ridiculous challenge to face. However once youve actually finished the game youll no doubt be full of conflicting emotions. The joy that youve finally beat the legendarily hard title, the sorrow that youve seen everything the game has to offer, and the emptiness that you might never play anything as hauntingly engrossing ever again all hits you as the credits roll. Although a few games boast defining endings that stay with you forever, its rare that a title ever imbues the player with such a conflicting feeling of satisfaction and despair like the ending of the original Dark Souls.
