Moments in gaming that made you cry?

[The Root Beer Guy]

The infamous ending of Episode 2, mainly because the voice acting was so convincing.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

When the hunter attacks Alyx in HL2:EP2. I wiggled my mouse desperately to try and help her, but to no avail.

You didn't cry at the ending? :O

Spoiler

The ending of Ep2 is the only time I've ever shed a tear in a game. She's so well characterized I totally felt for her at that moment, and I liked Eli too... Saddest game ending ever :/

Will be interesting to see how they make Alyx cope during Ep3 IF IT'S EVER FUCKING RELEASED >_>

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Mother 3. Just...Mother 3...to say any more would be to spoil the waterfall of tears...

Also see: Elite Beat Agents: Mission "You're the Inspiration." Fail this, and you have no soul.

Watery eyed, but not crying. I'm much more attached to Alyx then Eli or Gordon.

Well I liked Eli but for me it was Merle Dandridge's convincing performance and the phenominal animations, as well as her sobs as the screen faded to black... Really got to me. Especially as the scene before is quite happy and upbeat as though you're heading towards a goal and things seem to be working out.

I can't remember the exact bit, but some of the scenes in The Longest Journey have reduced me to tears. I'm not sure why, there's just something about that game. No other game has ever made me cry.

The end, I'm guessing? Gets me all teary every time simply because it's an awesome game, and I wished the journey was even longer.

Fallout 3, I've played through it quite a few times now, and I still can't get through that ONE scene without crying my eyes out... You know which one...

Also, the end to Okami made me quite teary-eyed.

Any buddy dying Far Cry 2 is a huge loss.

Spoiler

If a buddy is mortally wounded you have the choice of giving them a morphine overdose to ease the pain or put a bullet in between their eyes, its your choice, and you pull the trigger.

Goodnight, Sweet Prince.

Its doubly hard to do because they're only in the area because they came to rescue you, and the squirming they do while yelling at you to "DO IT, FINISH ME OFF" is unsettling.

 

[Urgh76]

Bugenhagen's Death in FF VII so sad...........

 

[DigitalSushi]

Fallout 3, I've played through it quite a few times now, and I still can't get through that ONE scene without crying my eyes out... You know which one...

I wanted to shoot that scientist *****, strange thing is that scene gives you "The Metroid Effect" were you suddenly become unstoppable, you can almost feel the AI shitting themselves at the sight of you.

Same goes with the boss of Resident Evil 2, he kills Sherry's chances of an antidote so the fight stops being scary, he's piss easy first time round because its all about payback.

 

[Ieyland]

I think this has been done before. About two weeks or three. But oh well...

Also, I don't cry about games. It's hard to feel much for a character you tea-bag other corpses with.

Ah, not again, gimme a break.

 

[Aggressor and Usurper]

Also Emma's last cutscene in MGS2.

This.
I got emotional at some of the MGS2 scenes, but this one made me cry.

 

[Guffe]

This is not about me but my little brother. We were playing Mario Sunshine (I think he was about 10) and he just couldn't get past the part where you must wash up the beach from all the slime, he got really frustrated and then our dad came and played the exact part on his save in 2 minutes. My brother asked dad to play it for him and he refused, in a sarcastik way, and my brother started crying like hell ^^. He made it later the same day thou and everything was forgotten.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

HL2, when Eli... you know
HL2 again, when Alyx is wounded and...oh well
Shadow of the Colossus, when you ride Aggro to meet the last colossi and...that thing happens
Valkyria Chronicles, at several points actually, but the ending had me crying in a girly way
Heavenly Sword, the ending, awsome yet sad
Dreamfall ending, (I need Dreamfall Chapters like NOW!!!!!)
Warcraft III when Arthas killed the king (these were actually anger tears)
In Infamous when you had to choose between saving a bunch of people or your GF...tough times.
The beasts in MGS4, some of their background stories are pretty harsh


Yeah, I am a sensitive guy

 

[Rhayn]

I've had several watery eyed-moments, but only one where there was one actual tear going down my chin. That was in Dragon Age: Origins.

Spoiler: DAO ending spoiler

My character kills the Archdemon, there's the whole funeral-shebang where I already get fairly emotional, and then finally during the epilogue texts it mentions Leliana, who was my love interest, and what she ends up doing afterwards. You know it if you've played it, I've forgotten the exact text.

One single tear... Beautiful...

And then I went back to my old, angry self.

 

[Wolf-AUS]

I didn't cry, so much as feel sad at the end of PoP sands of time on the ps2.

 

[Mullahgrrl]

Grimfandango-Lola.

Almost made me get why manny had to work at the DoD.

 

[Slash Dementia]

No game has made me cry, but the only one that has come extremely close (if no one was home, I might have) was Lost Odyssey.
You know...the part in the first disc where someone dies and people start crying.
