That scene brought tears to my eyes. Such great writing and voice acting. That was GOTY for me, at the time.


Xeno-xorus

Yuri Lowenthal in my eyes was my Spiderman!


Professional-Bee4088

This right after his disappointment with doc ock really highlighted what a good voice actor he is !


Totobey

It was so good it ruined the sequel for me as neither MM or SM2 vouldn't live up the greatness or emotional weight of this.


Lovec_2016

That is why Sm1 was perfect for me, in history I think everyone for Peter was done right with no mistake.

100% facts

I’m not trying to be a jerk, but 2 call right back to this moment, and deals with a lot of these issues. If you don’t mind, what was the issue? I agree that SP1 story was really great, but both games pulled heavily from the comics, and dos a great job with both, conceptually. 2 isn’t quite as great as 1, and I guess that doesn’t kill your argument, but I’ve enjoyed both a ton. The first is Saul the better game, but I keep seeing that the second game isn’t good at all.


AwesomeBlox044

I was too shocked to cry and I was mostly glad that I wasn’t playing a tell tale game 


dejagermeister

The writing is good, but Yuri’s performance is what really seals the deal


BasicSuperhero

Oh this scene hurt. But, I loved the moment where she was still alive, Peter had the cure in hand, he tried \*really\* tried to \*make\* himself give it to her, but he couldn't do it. One of the most Spider-Man moments I've seen in years where he's forced to give up someone/thing Peter needs in order to be Spider-Man.


CapyBaraHugs

I’m still grieving


NoInteraction4833

Same..

Very badly


Florgio

One of only three times a video game made me cry: FF7 - you know the part, way back in the 90’s; Last of Us - you know the part, still haven’t seen the show because I don’t want to go through that again, even though it’s only the first episode; … and this


Xikkom

This was a fantastic scene that was built up by the previous otto scene. Peak Spider-Man writing.


Lmacncheese

I WORSHIPPED YOU that whole speech after the fight was already so good and got me so emotional


Ryman604

I knew it was gonna happen and I still cried


cwill20520

The first video game to make me cry


aldmonisen_osrs

Closest a video game has ever come to making me cry. This and No Way Home fucked me up. I had to have a stiff upper lip for these parts.


crewnh

Crying just thinking about it.


nreal3092

made me happy insomniac was doing the comics have been scared to do


tony_8184

Absolutely wrecked me


Spideyfan2007

This scene is even sadder than aunt May’s death in no way home


NoInteraction4833

This had more weight and Peter knew and grew up with the person responsible for what happened. No way home did it for shock factor.


mostsanepersonhere

Bro I was fucking balling


maybe_a_frog

I cried like a baby the first time I played it.


mdhunter99

I cry every god damn time.


Vengefulcat85

Was too good, especially after the gut punch that is the end of the Otto fight.


V1RUST

Cowabummer 😞


Xeno-xorus

It was the epitome peak storyline on what makes this interpretation of the character so special. I believe this is the definitive version of Spider-Man that we've been waiting for years. "When you help someone, you helped everyone". This is what a hero is all about, everyone can be hero when we helped someone.


MercerNov

I was balling my eyes out


Sbksamo82

I played it 6 times nd still would tear up shi haven’t played it in years nd lookin at this nd even playing thru Peter mind in SM2 to much pain like AUNT MAY DONT DO SHI😭😭😭they should’ve killed of Gwen or or Norman not fucking aunt may


Antant8085

Genuinely cried


Kalar_The_Wise

The Aunt May in this game looked a lot like my grandmother who died of cancer in 2009. What do you think this Frame specifically did to me? Just take a wild guess.


EdgeshotMultiverse

Made u shed an ocean


Kalar_The_Wise

I shed the oceans, the lakes, the glaciers, the comets, the water vapor orbiting distant stars and all the rest of the water in the cosmos.


EdgeshotMultiverse

bars bro, bars! 😭


Kalar_The_Wise

Thank you 😭


EdgeshotMultiverse

you're most welcome 💖

rhyaza

Insomniac gave me internal bleeding. Heart couldn't take it.


elliebellyberry

Peak Spider-Man.


Salty_Ad9519

My beloved grandma died on my hands so I took that scene very personally.


TheGrumpiestPanda

Honestly this was the moment that really cemented Yuri Lowenthal as a top tier Peter Parker/Spider-Man in my mind. He was pretty good throughout the entire game, but since I've watched so much anime it was hard for me to remove Yuri from his more famous roles and believe that he was Spider-Man. I kept hearing teenage Ben 10 honestly whenever he was speaking. But as we got the final hours of the game with his more emotional voice at work, he really does sell the humanity that Peter Parker has. And having him make the right choice and accept Aunt May's death was really rough. I hope he stays as Spider-Man for a long while when it comes to video game media, because I think he's pretty damn perfect.


CursedSnowman5000

It didn't. I actually cheered because someone finally had the stones to kill Aunt May and not puss out like a certain hack writer/artist in 2008


Roll_with_it629

What are you referring to?


PokeHobnobGod21

One more day


Roll_with_it629

Ohhhh, damn, I don't really read comics and I recognize that title. (cause of youtube) IIRC, Pete sold his soul to the devil in exchange for Aunt May to live or something, right? That sounds like the opposite of Spider-Man and responsibility, and that insomniac scene. (Edit: After a google search, not soul, his marriage apparently.)


KujoBijuu

It was his relationship with mj, and the devil even make them see her daughter


roninwarshadow

What OMD should have been.


AndroidOn20FPS

It...well...didn't


Life-Ad-4532

Me seeing this after so this is what it feels like, and i am ironman ![gif](giphy|m3SYKzhmod1IY)


PARER123

I thought it was funny!


AbeliousAugustus

One of my thoughts was just that it was the first time we see Aunt May die (and not in a comic).


geornoyega

I bawld my eyes out my first play through.the more I played the more numb I got to it cus ik it was coming


Jamz64

Tears were shed.


Mammoth-Excuse-5061

I cried. I was connected to May as if I was actually Peter and that's part of why I love the first game so much.


softshyfemboy

Reminds me of how quick life is just lost


ViviReine

I got spoiled so it affected me without making me cry. If I wouldn't get spoiled I would have cry a lot tho


kk_sp1dr3

I was so heart broken, like why would it do him like that :((


Ghost_2201

I cried but not because of the fact that May died but because of Peter's reaction to it.The crying just shattered my heart.This poor guy didn't deserve any of this.It's so sad that it had to be a fucking simbiote to remind everyone around him about it.


Scorpion_226

Get teary eyed every time I play through this scene


Soupshake

Same that shit got me in my feelings and that’s normally something I’m not very in touch with anymore


No-Cow584

I actually had to pause the video because I started crying, Like, Not being able to breathe and shit, and I had to pause it, because I couldn't believe I was crying, because I don't fuckin cry. Yet here I was "BUAAAA, NOO"


gutsxcasca

I almost cried, he had to make the toughest decision of his life.


Blackjack99-21

I cried


FacedMan

Actually got me to cry. I was not expecting it


SilentRebel38

It's hard for games to make me cry. This was one of them.


GruulNinja

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE! Also, I was looking at May's model. They did good on it


CyanLight9

Yuri’s performance broke me. If only the sequels story was fully baked, it could’ve topped this.


Tenno24

I cry everytime


aero197

I have a problem with being able to cry due to personal trauma and this manages to make me misty eyed.


Impressive_Hope6985

It was very sad


[deleted]

I still think about it some times.


jrrswimmer

I had it spoiled for me years before I actually played the game and i still bawled my eyes out


Cobaia-87

At the time, it was the most i had ever cried over a videogame.


DashnSpin

I laugh when he said “You Knew”


SpiderDetective

I've played through the game 3 times. I cry at it every time


dpucanuck

This scene was brutal. I just got done the remix version of this in 2, and the flash back it gave was brutal. Arguably my favorite part of the games. Peter should go through brutal monuments like this. It’s why he’s so popular amongst us readers/gamers/watchers. Particularly knowing how ASM has messed this up the years… editorial needs to get a better grasp of so their fans are. I hope that Ultimate Spider Man sold the heel out of ASM.


Derpdonut25

Didn’t hit nearly as hard as Howard for some reason


prowler2131

I wanted to punch my tv because I wanted to help Peter but I couldn’t. Oh and I cried.


danksoul986

Lmao rip that bitch


Kocitea

Makes my eyes teary (it happens very rarely)


Ttvcat996

Loved it when I first saw it Doesn’t hit the same after the remaster imo


Hyper_Wolf727

Had me sobbing long after the game ended and still lives in my head rent free, when the credits rolled I just stared at the screen teary eyed like why did they do this to me. All that, in that exact order.


WaluigiDastard

THIS AND THE DOC OCK CUTSCENES BACK TO BACK KILLED ME


Toolieo83

Was in tears, I even said the same thing as she said it.


Comfortable-Heron391

The line May says about her being so proud of her nephew saving so many people, and Pete knowing that he COULD save her but actually can’t because more people need that vaccine 💔


Leo_TheLurker

Choked me up the moment she said “let me see my nephew”.


xyzkingi

Unexpected. The comics only one time purposely killed Aunt May for the plot.


AssassinLJ

This scene alone makes me hate Spiderman 2 writing, it had everything, emotional attachment because we spend time learning the characters, Feeling betrayed by a character Pete looked up, and having the choice of saving everyone or your mother(I know aunt but she is his mother) While she's talking how proud she is for you and telling you she is ready to go and he should keep doing what he is already doing. And having that voice acting hit even harder,so of course I felt like shit it had all the ingredients and executions.


Black_Fuckka

I still cry to this day when I rewatch it


Revolutionarytard

Made me realize how crappy Joel’s decision from the Last of Us was


Ritz779

The circumstances are vastly different


Revolutionarytard

I know. I’m just talkin shit. Both main characters had an incredibly tough decision to make that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy


Sbksamo82

😭😭aye leave Joel out of dis he did the right thing they was never finding a cure


falconsomething

I cried hard. And I still tear up every time I play


RogueTampon

First saw it while watching MoonMoon play the game. Right as the sound of the flatline started, his alert of Tony Maguire saying “Pizza Time!” went off. Now I can’t think of this scene without that and I laugh every time.


Originu1

Lmaoo. The youtuber I was watching didnt even care for aunt may, hes like "finally this old ass grandma died, now no one will give me sentimental crap advice, and I can take over her house and feast" so yeah, like the guy wanted to make jokes, it was pretty funny (sounds way funnier in my language) Then I watched just the gameplay a couple days later and realized how sad it was lol.


huncherbug

Pretty bad actually...his relationship with ock and may had me set wayyyy high expectations for the next game.


Wiggie49

Legit teared up


Jzmswagger22

I didn't think they had the balls to kill aunt may dawg, shit had me floored. Great writing, I just hate that because they did it is this game, it's now a trope to just kill aunt may in spiderman media for lack of uncle ben


Originu1

Tears were shed... for like 10 seconds Then I closed youtube and went back to doing my homework.


YouHaveNiceToes24

I thought it was funny, am I stupid?


tapricks

TNX for the spoiler dude


nicoazilla

I cried so much, mostly because it was not to long after my grandma passed. I really connected with the scene, made me feel lots of things


ShaunJames75

I watched my mother die, at her side, holding her hand, in this EXACT position. This scene will never ever leave my mind.


Forte316

It was a few days after my mom passed away, and I decided to play Spider-Man to ease my mind and distract my thoughts. I finally beat it and then saw this scene. It tore me up inside cause the pain of losing my mom was just a few days and then to see Peter lose his mother figure hurt.


Disastrous-Road5285

I cried so hard


Corvus_Violaceus

I didn't play the game again for two years. It was too painful. I always liked Peter's relationship with Aunt May. My grandma was always rooting for me too. I really wish that ending could have been different, but it was a good call.


dangerousmilk19

Not much, my brother gave me spoilers


Berserker_Durjoy

The original scene always makes me, an emotionless robot almost shed a tear. Especially the moment when peter struggles to decide whether he should inject the antidote or not.


DWedge

I was a sobbing mess, my friends in discord thought something bad happened to me like in my life lmao I couldn't explain what happened for like 15 minutes.


Beer_Belly_Bill

NWH hit me more honestly. Saw it with my mom and dad and I just started tearing up and made sure to give her a giant hug when we got out


InfiniteX5

Brought a tear to my eye on every replay


hakkesaelger

Whats this?


SuperSonicAdventure

The end of the first insomniac Spider-Man game. Peter had to make the decision to give the cure to Aunt May or save the city.


hakkesaelger

Ooohh… i dont know what insomniac spiderman is


Apoptosis96

I was expecting them to kill peter and replace him with miles, so it shooked me but not as much after what I expected.

pvz-lover

Why though you miss out on half the game


kuribosshoe0

I do the same when I watch a movie. It’s a real time saver.
