All females know men don't have emotions and don't cry. We're like robots. Ask my wife. We ball things up until we explode on some unlucky soul that is unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I've never cried during a film,book, game or any other form of media.
The darkness. I can remember beating it and not being able to stop crying afterwards for a good five minutes or so. Still get a few tears in my eyes when I hear Jenny's theme. THIS. Though I didn't actually cry cry, jesus that game was sad. Other particularly sad moments I can think of... The end of Red Dead Redemption (the first ending, obviously).
I nearly cried at the end of Ocarina of Time, but I was too young for that to count.
The bad Catwoman ending was sad, but it was actually the regular ending that got me
the Joker just can't die. The idea of either him outliving Bruce or vice versa is just really sad to me, as they need to bounce off each other to keep the whole Batfamily vs Arkhamfamily dynamic working. Also in the comics (pre-reboot) Joker's personality is so complex that despite all the horrible things he does in some stories he's the "good" guy and you really root for him. Plus, bizarrely, he actually makes Gotham a little lighter, as the idea of having a group of villains where the top dog is obsessed with simply sparring with his nemesis means that the most genuinely ruthless mob guys and Hush-type villains are kept in check. Batman has actually brought him back to life using a Lazarus Pit before, so that was where I was expecting it to be headed. But when I realised he had actually died... ;_;
Yeah, as you can see I get quite emotionally invested in fictional worlds, Gotham in particular.

he will be back alive for the next game probably in the begining/second act by a lazarus pit or something else... also he isnt dead in comics continuity (well at least if he was/will turn up dead in the current "detective" story line he will return soon enogh since he is shown in dark knight (which happens like 4 years later)
and idk i just dont get emotionally invested in fictional worlds...

Yeah I have the opposite thing to that in that the writing of something has to be atrocious for me not to care. Comics, books, games, films... I get very attached to characters very quickly. Not to say that I don't understand your viewpoint, I know a lot of people who do the same, but it's just something I never really experience.
Not sure if I need the spoiler tag at this point but it can't hurt...
I didn't think he would be what with Mark Hamill retiring from the role, also I thought maybe the Lazarus Pit might have been in some way defunct because it's full of Basil (I know that's not how it works in the comics, but I *think* that was what the game was driving at when he glooped into it, and as much as Bruce doesn't kill and Harley would do anything to revive him I can't see either of them dragging him to Nanda Parbat (which I have probably misspelt.)
Also in the post-reboot comics I know he's alive and well, I just didn't include them because so far they have not wowed me. Though I have a pet theory and you seem to read comics so may I ask you; do you think White Rabbit from Batman: The Dark Knight is Linda Friitawa (aka Fright) from the 2004 Winick story As the Crow Flies? It would make sense as they keep saying the toxin is similar to Scarecrow's fear gas and she is an albino. Plus, stranger things have happened, like Morrison making Lord Death Man comic canon.

so there are answers for your questions:
in the end of the day the joker will live thats not even a question
i can totally see harley drag him to a lazarus pit even if its in antartica
i havent read the story you are talking about but DC said its a new character maybie just a new persona though cause it was described as a "new villian"
Pretty much the entire finale of Shadow of the Colossus moved me. Starting with that one crumbling bridge before the final colossus. :'(
Final Fantasy 9 also had quite a few sad moments. Like that one pre-rendered cutscene with Vivi watching as his fellow black mages get destroyed by the Black Waltz. The fact that there was only music playing throughout the whole thing made the scene very powerful.
And don't get me started on the ending. Fucking beautiful.
Then there was Valkyria Chronicles.
"We'll go flying real soon Is. I promise..."
Seriously, Isara's death came out of almost nowhere.
First was after the Toroko boss fight. I was like... okay, boss fight over, you're back to normal size now. You're gonna be all right again. Right? Toroko? Torokooooooo!
And the other time was Curly Brace sacrificing herself for me when we were drowning. Most emotional "item received" text popup ever.
I have a few, they seem to always be Japanese style games.
Okami made me actually tear up, second would be Final Fabtasy 9. I haven't even played Zelda windwaker and I still almost teard up. I'm surprised at myself that the mario galaxies almost make me tear up. Seriously, I can believe in the nostalgic tear up from mario 3 and world but the galaxy's? Why must my emotions feel this way?
Well, indirectly LoL. Last game of it I ever played. I'd started off alright, but had been consistently getting fucked over too much for it to be bad luck. So after that last atrocious game, I felt tears of frustration, that I was truly awful at something (LoL is to date the only thing I have ever been able to say I am bad at), and tears of sadness that for fucks sake I am crying over League of fucking Legends.
So, pissed and frustrated, I noticed I had a PM. It was some guy I didn't recognise, thanking me for showing him how to embed videos. I will remember that moment of laughter and weeping forever.
Yes, I am a sad bastard, but oh well.
