It ties the whole ultimate fate of sucummbing to the darkness that more damning too. Of course there's no choice, but at the time I wasn't even aware, i mean how could i not kill him? The darkness was getting more and more powerful, so I knew what was coming but damned if I was going to let him live. So yeah, great ending...
I felt sick as hell and this instantly made me feel better.CuddlyCombine said:Anything from Mass Effect is bound to make me burst into tears. That game is just sex, damnit.
OT :
Mona's death in the regular ending. Max had been through so much shit, he deserved at least one good thing in his life. That was blown away by a bullet, again. When he crawled back to her, I saw a completely broken man. I have never felt so sorry for a game character.
Thank you, Remedy, for allowing me to drown myself in denial and hope for a good ending after completing the game on DOA difficulty.

When Sheperd burns you alive. The look on his face, the cold, ruthless stare, the heartless triumph in his eyes...Fascinating.
Also, every single minute of Mass Effect 2.
Oh yes, that level in Elite Beat Agents completely blindsided me: a genuinely emotional moment in a game of wacky awesomeness. Dang, that was awesome.
But I'd have to say the most emotional moment in gaming for me was when...
It is moments like this one that make me pity JRPG haters... they will never experience this. Sad, really. Just sad.

... Aerith was killed by Sephiroth. But not just that scene: the boss fight afterwards. Usually for a fight against part of Jenova, that awesome Jenova theme would start up and get us all pumped and intense for the epic battle. But not this time. Aerith's theme was playing throughout the entire death scene, and when Sephiroth accused Cloud of pretending to care and left the Jenova piece to battle, the theme kept playing. I didn't fight that boss to proceed, I didn't fight it because it was awesome, and I didn't fight it because I was pumped: I fought it because I was sad, and angry. I fought it for her. Amazing moment.

Gaz getting shot in the face made me shed manly S.A.S tears, which resulted in heavy swiss-cheesing of Zakhaev.
that or Shepard burning you and Ghost alive (well, at least you alive). the worst part was that he was so fucking cold about it. i was happy to dart-board his face.

Metal Gear Solid 1, Sniper Wolf. Not just the sadness, but the real emotional tug of her backstory and character.
Halo. Finishing it gave me a real sense of completion (Halo 3 that is)
Mass Effect. I really did get attached to the characters, all the way through the story. My favourites of course being Tali, Garrus, Chakwas, but the entire world they built really sucked me in emotionally.
Silent Hill 2. I know it's hackneyed, but I really do have it in my 'most emotionally rending' list. It's a massive mindfucking heart pounding tale, not just an interactive story, an actual tale.

Not to mention the exquisitely done opening sequence, leading you on, thinking that it's gonna be a happy-go-lucky and quirky game about a kid who's a bit of a bumble, and then taking that whole image and smashing it with a strip of torn dress, two twins shivering after being half-drowned, their in-shock mumbling about how they were powerless and couldn't help her...Well played out emotion all the way through.Mr.PlanetEater said:

Oh, we've played it. THe legions of Avid Mother fans are a testament to that. I wish copyright laws weren't such a butt to deal with over here.KillerMidget said:
But yeah, The entirety of Mother 3 is the most emotional video game moment ever. I laughed, and I cried.
The final battle and the end of Chapter 1 were sad, but what really got to me was Chapter 6.
When I watched it for the first time, I was bawling like a newborn baby. Then I watched it again. And I cried again. I felt sad in the way only a caretaker can.
I was surprised at how Mass Effect series has gotten me to be more emotional about some of the decisions I make, based on if characters die or when some sort of watershed occurs. Its really good storytelling from BioWare- as we have come to expect
