Someone mentioned the Darkness. Very good example. The story definitely carried me through the gameplay. Which wasn't horrible, but the character development was excellent.

Enslaved had some great moments too, in particular finding Tripp's village.
Shame about the ending to that game.

I'd love to have been in the meeting where the writers went, "now, we have this really interesting character-driven story, but what I was thinking was that about 2/3 of the way into the game, we could completely ignore that and not resolve anything to do with them at all."

OT: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

Enslaved should have been taking notes, because that's how you do a poignant story, write a developing relationship between two characters, and carry their full character-arcs through the game.

The years that would shape my tastes in gaming: 1997-2000.

umm, probably picmin 2, since i never played the original. i couldnt stand the sound they made when one died, especially if they drowned, and the little soul flying out of their body just got to me. thats why i never beat it. couldnt stand going underground to watch them die.

Halo: Reach was pretty hard to play for me, as HALO had been the first franchise id ever stuck with in video gaming. The fact that you knew you were going to lose from the beginning was the worst part. And the last cinematic ... just like don't freakin' leave me!

persona 3
only game who's ending can make me cry every single damn time
that and it's also the only game I've played that actually made me care about the characters
I haven't beaten the game yet but i have beaten Persona 4 which has 2 of the saddest moments i've ever seen *SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER* It's when Nanako dies, and when you get the good ending where everyone says goodbye to you at the train station. T-T

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. The only game that ever came close to making me cry at the end.

i get very easily touched by games, so there were a lot of games that touched me,

but one i'd like to point out is red dead redemption,
i don't think there's been any other game where the protagonist had died in such a way. i honestly couldn't believe it, i was waiting for john to cough up some blood, open his eyes and live on, or at least give his wife and son some last words. rockstar really grabbed me by the heart and kicked me in the face there.

I did feel slightly sad leaving aperture labs in portal 2, but you also feel this overwhelming sense of victory, and you start remembering what you did to get there. Portal 2 is truly an amazing game and if you didn't enjoy a single part you must be incredibly shallow or dead.

Tales of Symphonia. Never had a game made me cry before, let alone twice in the span of 20 minutes.

When I thought that the characters were getting killed off I started tearing up, until it was just Genis and Lloyd. Once I thought Genis was dead I started actually crying a little. Then after a bit and it turns out that they aren't all dead I started crying and laughing maniacally because of how happy I was. That game really go to me like no other every has.

The earlier Silent Hill games. Didn't care much for the ones after 3.
Mass Effect series too.
Splinter Cell Conviction.
