I’m thinking it must be a game with unskipable cutscenes to make Nick cry…

Is it the one where they said they were going to make a special nick version that made you watch unskipable cutscenes twice before continuing?

Probably Limbo, which is why he said it’s a weird remake
Maybe it’s to get HDR, so the darks are darker…

It also made him cry. Brothers was more emotional than Limbo. Or maybe Nick cried because he never got the almost no death run achievement.
Wasn’t Walking Dead Season 1 XBLA as well ? I thinks it’s either Walking Dead Season 1 or Brothers.

Somehow my gtx 1060 ti is able to run Gotham Knights at 60fps with some settings on medium while others on low without an SSD…the little one is punching above its weigh!!
What’s your CPU?
If it is Walking Dead, that will be the fifth distinct version of the game on Xbox hardware. 
(And I would play it again)
Avatar and The Game Awards for me!!

Been trying to track down a purple Xbox controllers and no retailers have them available, damn.
So what Xbox Arcade game made Nick cry? 
I asked Bing Co-Pilot and it said this:
I searched the web for the games that Shpeshal Nick has said made him cry during his XboxEra podcast on YouTube, and I found the following results:
- In episode 167, he said that he cried at the end of Halo 4 when Cortana sacrificed herself to save Master Chief1. He said that he was very attached to the character and that the scene was very emotional.
- In episode 169, he said that he cried during Ori and the Will of the Wisps when Ku died and when Ori became the new Spirit Tree2. He said that he loved the art, music, and story of the game and that it was a beautiful experience.
- In episode 171, he said that he cried during Tell Me Why when Tyler and Alyson confronted their mother’s killer and learned the truth about their past3. He said that he was impressed by the narrative and the representation of the transgender protagonist.
- [In episode 165, he said that he cried during Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons when the older brother died and the younger brother had to bury him1]. He said that he was moved by the story and the gameplay mechanics of controlling both brothers with one controller.
These are the only games that I could find that Shpeshal Nick has mentioned made him cry during his XboxEra podcast on YouTube. I hope this answers your question.

Fill me but if Steam goes down, can I play AW2? I know it’s not there, but if so, what happens?
