The most emotional moment for you in a video game

[ZeroMachine]

Completing MW3. Along with all the twists and turns throughout the game, and the other MW games. The story of MW3 especially really does mean a whole lot more if you have played all previous games. I'm glad I finally spent to £40 purely for the campaign, even though I don't play the multiplayer that much like I used to with previous games.

You are going to get SO MUCH CRAP for that. But, as someone that doesn't see all these plot wholes everyone keeps claiming the MWs have, I totally know what you were talking about SO satisfying. If I were there, I would have joined in on the cigar smoking. And I don't smoke.

But that isn't mine.

Mine is the end of Chrono Trigger. Saying goodbye to everyone. And that music just adds to it.

Spoiler alert? Like at all?

Jesus the game is 7 years old, after a while you don't need to spoiler yourself.

Hey, Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father!

Spoiler

OH COME ON!

Spoiler

I kid, I kid. But to be fair, not everyone had a chance to play every game with a good twist/ending. It's simply a thing of common decency. Spoiler tag any spoilers, please. It's why it's there.

To the Moon, both finding out the significance of the rabbit, and virtually the entire last two hours.

I think like maybe one other person on these forums has actually played this game, and everyone scans these lists looking for shoutouts to stuff they've already played, but this little indie gem is worth checking out, especially if you're the type of person who likes to have a sad little cry with your games from time to time.

Agreed. Also a really strong moment. Playing Bastion and To the Moon back to back was a real treat.

The entire finale of Mass Effect 2, and the moments leading up to it. I had grown so attached to the game's characters that the thought of losing one of them made me seriously stress out. I got out with all but one character (it was Zaeed, so he wasn't even a "real" character.) The feeling of relief as the credits rolled was very memorable for me.

Runner up: my younger, noob self letting Wrex die in Mass Effect. I freaked out. (Don't judge. I like Mass Effect, okay?)

In Fallout 3 when I was forced to have an operation I didn't want, I was actually really angry in real life that someone did that to me... to my character, if I was denied the opportunity to shoot the surgeon I don't think I would've settled down for the rest of the day.

I'd say killing the boss in metal gear solid 3, the fact you had to manually pull the trigger makes it so much harder.

That certainly rates very high on my list. Along with losing Agro in Shadow of the Colossus and the destruction of Kharak in Homeworld.

Finishing the mission "Curtains Down" in Hitman: Blood Money with a good stealth rating.

The mission isn't too difficult, but it was hard enough that I couldn't just go in, guns blazing.

I killed the actor who played the Executioner, disguised myself as him, and then waited for the cue to kill the target. Once the deed was done, this started to play:

Hell just broke loose. The second target, comes running over to the dead first target, and I killed him as he was running with a falling chandelier. This was one of the first times in the Hitman series that I moved as slowly as possible, just to take in the music.

This turned this game from a pretty good stealth game to THE stealth game.

MGS3's ending is a heavy thing, MGS4 almost as strong.
But the horse in Peace Walker... I was freaking crying...
EDIT: Oh, and Cole's gf in INfamous.

 

[Daeric]

For me it probably has to be the enitre ending sequence for FF7:Crisis Core.

Sure I knew what was going to happen, but they got the music, the mood and everything just right to get me going.

 

[soren7550]

I want to say when in Fable 3

Spoiler

Walter gets possessed by the Crawler, and you have to kill him. His last words to you made me cry for a better part of the night.

 

[AngloDoom]

The Darkness.

I don't know how, but that game made me fall in love with Jenny. Just sitting there with her watching the TV, while occasional shifts in the camera as she started to get more and more comfortable and fall asleep in your lap...instantly made me want to keep that girl safe and out of harm's way.

Spoiler

And then they fucking killed her and I swore vengeance on everything that so much as stood in the way of me and the bad-guys. Even the Darkness itself. Not a happy AngloDoom.

Aww man! You just ruined Star wars for me!

Most Emotional Part? I can't remember the mission, but in Medal of Honor: Airborne, when your airdropping in, a troop says "Hey, what do you get when you cross a Nazi and a Cockroach? A--" Then a bullet pierces the bottom of the plane and goes right through his head.
I paused, set down the controller, sat there in shock for a second, then came to a realization. What was the punchline? The rest of that mission was fueled by anger.

MGS3's ending, though I mean the epilogue where Eva explains everything and he stands over the grave. Fuck that is emotional.

Ninja'd by OP

I guess that makes three of us.
EDIT: Sorry, four of us

It's a tie between Metal Gear Solid 3, the scene in which

Spoiler: There can be room for only one Boss, and one Snake...

Snake finishes off The Boss with a single round from her own Partiot after she encourages him to,

Instead of an "awwwww" moment I'm gonna go with one that made my eyes widen and go "wow" aloud.

The beginning to Bioshock 2 (it helped I started with the second one and not the first for some unbeknownst reason and didn't know what was going on yet. It actually added to the game).

Spoiler

When Lamb tells you to pick up the gun and shoot yourself. Seriously gave me shivers.

 

[phereck]

NIER. Emil.

Boom. So sad, so touching. Great story and game.

Same game
but the wedding death scene, I actually cried at that part
and the ending (ending 1) got me a little

 

[Mister K]

The ending of FFX. Six times I saw it, six times I shed a tear.
Why???!!!! Why couldn't Tidus and Yuna live happily ever after?!!
I must admit, though, this way the ending would not have been as emotional as it is now.

In before comments: FFX-2 NEVER existed. EVER. PERIOD.
