If you believe any 40-50+ year old male who come from a time many moons ago, us men aren't meant to cry. We're meant to be the hard-faced no-nonsense blocks of ice that can't shed a tear for the saddest of moments. 'Meant to be' being the operative phrase here. Would you admit it if you'd cried at a game? Did you cry manly tears of woe when Aerith was slain by Sephiroth? Did you tear up at the concluding moments of The Walking Dead? For many, they'd never admit that they'd done just that. I've cried loads of times at games. I'm a big softy though. I won't watch a film with dogs in cause it'll inevitably be heartbreaking. Final Fantasy X's ending is the one that got me the most - I blubbed like a little baby girl until the credits rolled.
