The Things That Made You Emotional in Gaming... Surprisingly

Dragon Age: Origins. Somehow, the scenes with my character and Leliana falling in love at camp, under the moonlight, were very moving.
Pokemon. No, really. The first time I beat the Elite Four (in each game), I sort of sit back and think "way to go, guys".
MGS4 - the last scenes in the last cutscene in the graveyard. "Maybe this world would be better off... with none."

Playing Mass Effect 2, I had everyone's loyalty, outside of Jack, but I wasn't too worried about her. She got on my nerves a bit.
But then Tali went down after I sent her through the vents as she got shot trying to close the door. Hearing Legion going "Critical Error. Critical Error" as seeker swarms drug him off. Then Grunt after I foolishly put him in charge of the second strike team taking his last breaths saying how they still gave 'em hell. It just hit me hard because I fully expected the mission to go on without a hitch. Oh what a foolish Shepard I was.
This is going to be weird, but the time a game has moved me to tears only happened twice. Once in Gears of War 2 when Dom kills..you know.. and a battle in Bad Company 2.
It was on the map Laguna Pressa on Rush, 12 vs 12 and I was attackers. It was near the end of the match and only one MCOM was left. My entire team pushed up nearly all at once. The battle that insued was amazing. It seemed everyone on both teams was fighting in one small area. The nearby buildings were demolished and a dude right next to me was sniped at one point. The fight lasted for maybe a minute max, but at the end of the battle my team had one the battle (before the enemy respawned in force) with 2 dudes left and I was one of them. I killed 5 enemies, died once and got revived and protected the MCOM along with the 1 other dude and won the match.
I shed a tear for that most epic victory.

Some of the memories in Amnesia were devastating. Especially the more revelatory ones near the end. The twist in Penumbra: Black Plague too. If you've played it... You know which one I'm talking about.
Those and the ending of Half Life 2: Episode 2... But I'm pretty sure that one was meant to be emotional.

while I dont completely agree with the 100%, it was certainly fucking depressing. This is truly the first game I spent drinking to get through because it was so emotionally draining. I do recall one dream sequence that had something to do with an old woman and a little kid and I just broke the hell down sobbing. My brother came out to see what was wrong and thought I broke his xbox, lol.LarenzoAOG said:
There was a scene in Deus Ex where killing someone held some really tangible weight.
It was the scene on the plane, where Anna Navara orders you to kill the leader of the NSF. In the heat of the moment, and without any prompting from the game, I shot and killed her instead. Never before have I been so emotionally immersed in a game as I was at that moment.
Also Final Fantasy VI.
The scene where Celes tries to kill herself was the first time I cried over a game. The hour of gameplay leading up to it was emotionally affecting as it was, but then this kicked in and proved to be the straw that broke the camel's back:
The last shot in Mass Effect 2 (more or so it was an adrenaline rush getting me hyped for ME3 --ME2 is an example of what a cliffhanger ending SHOULD be.)
In Persona 3 and 4 I always feel really bad when I turn down someone's sincere request to hang out for whatever reason. As long as it's someone I like. I have no problems turning down someone like Kenji or Yuko. But if it's someone like Chihiro or Yukari or Yosuke... damn.
"> He seems disappointed..."
Oh, beat me over the head with it.
;_;
Also, the endings to both those games. P4 ended on a bittersweetish but still happy note. P3 was just depressing all the way through. The Answer did not help.
And several scenes from BlazBlue. No one in that series is ever allowed to be happy.
And I always find it hard to pick evil options in games. I must be a goody-goody or I'll just feel bad for all the (virtual) people whose lives I've destroyed/ended.

Never get emotional over games, but it's always a bit hard to choose the "evil" options in moral based games.
Took me a really long time to think about this one but I'd have to say Final Fantasy X where Yuna and the protagonist (can't remember his name) started forcing themselves to laugh. Tears were shed that day. I thought the script was important!
