When was the last time you cried and/or teared up during a video game?

[hippo24]

when the ending for dead rising didn't leave any room for a sequal, I cried my balls off....now im a girl...

KOTOR 1, darkside ending on top of the temple and when you return to the ship, I won't spoil it for those who haven't played it, everyone who has knows what I mean.

Also Oblivion, Dark Brotherhood, The Purification. I didn't cry but it was definitely tough.

For those of you mentioning KOTOR 2, the cut content is even more powerful (party members killing each other based on your actions), if Team Gizka ever finishes we'll see it in all its glory.

The Purification mission was the funnest and coolest one. I laughed my ass off! Dunno what was so sad about that one.

It might have been all the killing that choked him up. I, however, had a blast doing that mission.

I would have to say GTA IV at the church. It's even worse when you choose the money, I'm kind of glad I chose revenge instead.

don't think i've ever cried but the ending of Shadow of the Colossus made me feel quite emotional, the desperateness of the situation and the way it was done was so haunting.

Ogre battle 64 when Yumil died (Been a long time I dont remember if its the correct name)
Also the Bad ending

I didnt cried for Conker in Conker's Bad Fur Day, but coudnt help to feel sorry for him. ( you know surrounded by idiots all the time).

Oh yeah also got a bit emotional going through the ending cutscene of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath.
Yes I know the plot's a bit disjointed but something about the ending made you sympathise with every character in there (except for the chicken people and the damned evil squid).

I second Rusk; never full-blown wept, but the entire end scene of Shadow of the Colossus (plus Argo plummeting to his untimely doom) certainly had my face looking like D:

Earthbound. Even well before the ending.

I don't remember any other game, movie, book, or any other form of media that had any noticeable effect. Maybe as a kid or something, and I can't remember it, I don't know.

Frequently get something in my eye in Lost Odyssey. Especially the Dreams of a Thousand Years, and the ending.

I can't say that I've ever cried during a video game (I don't usually find them all that emotionally compelling), but if I ever came close, it was during "Brothers in Arms: The Road to Hill 30". The part when the main character's best friend, George Risner is killed was the most emotional scene I've witnessed in any video game ever.

I don't understand why no one (that I know of, I just sort of skimmed the posts here) has mentioned it. Maybe it's just me. Or maybe it's because I can count the number of people I know who have actually played this game on one hand.

im gonna have to agree with every1 who says Shadow of the Colossus
i was anticipating a cliched happy ending and what i got was...sadness
but a well done sadness

 

[jake09050]

the part of GTA IV when your at romans wedding is the only time i almost cried during a game

 

[Mr.McNinj4]

the death of Eli Vance at the end of HL2:Ep2 made me tear up

the incinaration Weighted Companionn Cube made me flat out bust up cring!

WHY GLaDOS!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!

 

[du4l1ty]

When I found out that the princess was in another castle. Oh, and the end of mgs3

Add me to the list... And, for some reason, while Risner's death wasn't all that touching, I foundseeing Leggett dying from the tank shell, and Obrieski's death got me more, emotionally. I didn't cry, but it was still a moment of sadness.

 

[Ruffythepirate]

When I was little and played Zelda: Ocarina of Time, I shed a tear in the end when the fairy (yeah, i can't remember what she was called) left Link.

 

[Pingrash]

I've never been brought to tears but the ending of Pariah probably came the closest. Your guy commits suicide because he has a deadly virus and bad people want to capture him. You don't see it happen but you hear him and the girl his with through the whole thing.
It was very sad.

I almost teared up when Jackson died in COD4, I've never had a main character die like that on me.
The ending of COD4 is pretty powerful also.
Golden Sun TLA: When Issac, Felix and Jenna found out they just killed their parents, heart wrenching, even though they're resurrected, the final scene in Vale is just as powerful even though it really is a rather happy ending.

Yeah the first time I saw Jackson's death was sad for me. I was just plain pissed off when Gaz died. He was awesome. Didn't give a shit about the black marine though.
