I shed tears when I realized Star Ocean 4 was terrible and it was too late to return it.
Come on, son. That shit is QUITE THE FUCKING SPOILER.
-_- and I'm playing. And acidentally read it while quoting.
A picture of Nanako and the word "I LIKE PONIES"
Fuck. Less and less I feel like visiting threads in the Gaming session.
That's a great track. Though I think the saddest thing in Demon's Souls is Maiden Astraea's and Garl Vinland's story.
I agree, it's completely careless. Made even worse by the fact P4: The Golden is coming up, and many who haven't played the PS2 version will be playing it for the first time when it hits Vita.
Some people have no idea how to properly use spoiler tags.

Fantastic game outside of the horrible story/characters/cutscenes.
That's not how spoilers work. Thank you.
Haha, yeah, I always find that amusing. Spread the spoiler around some more.
Nice edit on Dokish, by the way. A little girl liking ponies. Like *that's* their target audience. Please.
I didn't really cry, necessarily, but the final puzzle in Limbo,
. I dunno, just imagining myself in that nightmare... And what it would take to triumph over all of that shit. I have dreams like that all the time, so it struck a chord.
Also Portal 2 ending, for the same reason.
when you go slow-mo through the glass while that buzz-saw, the last obstacle in the game, reaches out for you as you sail over it..

Crisis Core:When you are fighting that unwinnable battle, "The Price of Freedom" is playing in the background and your memory roulette thing is fucking up big time
That didn't make me cry, but it was extremely well done.
FFX nearly does at the end, but only if I'm in the "right" mood, otherwise it doesn't affect me.
Can't really say any game has though. I want their to be a game that makes me cry, preferably something sad, but I doubt it'll ever happen :/
Uh...
Well I have some good news for you, bro.
And Shadow Moses in MGS4. Hooo boy. They nailed that chapter.

Ending of Klonoa when I was a kid. More recently, there's a bit at the end of Nier which really tore me up.

MGS4. You know.

I take that you are talking about Sakura and Blanka's ending.

Imagine telling this to someone in real life and the odd looks you'd get.
This pretty much, and that wasn't the only LO short story which got to
me. Game was worth it just for the thousand years of dreams stuff.

I wish games could make me this emotional. I also wish movies could do this too. I can't remember the last time any form of media made me cry. I'm also dead inside like someone else said. I've played so many games after hearing about how emotional people felt playing them and how they nearly came close to tears or cried, and then when I play them - nothing...
Although I can think of one time that I came close, I bet no one else has this one:
Metal Gear Solid 2.
This is the only time a game has brought me close, but not quite there.
Even MGS3 didn't do it for me, and I love that game.

When Emma Emmerich died. But it wasn't the fact that she died that got me. I was actually pretty meh about that. It was when Otacon was walking away with her bird and then suddenly he breaks down and starts crying uncontrollably, it was that very moment.
The slow motion shots. The music, good god the music was impacting. The voice acting was great. I really felt sad for Otacon. But what really got to me was the way EE's poor bird flew off, all alone in this Big Shell, after having lived its whole life (probably) in a cage, with no one to care of it anymore, and no knowledge of how to find food on its own. That poor helpless bird.

Persona 4 also got to me.
But not the part spoiled at the start of the thread.
End game spoilers, Don't read if you have not finished the game
Also MGS3 of course.
FF6, you know what I am talking about.
Wonder Boy in Monster Land, when I got all the way to the end and the red moving stairs glitched out on me.
Most of all?
The ending to Kingdom hearts 1. When Kairi

At one stage, I had a moment where I was convinced Nanako was going to end up being the killer. I thought this because she was always watching TV so figured the world was created by her. This all would have been caused because of the way her Father was treating her, and I was picturing the scenes and feelings I would have when all this was revealed.
As a father with two daughters, these type of thoughts just really get to me. If you feel that way and like the emotion, also watch the movie 'where the wild things are'. I thought it was a kids movie, but it was beautiful in it's way.
Of course none of that happened in the game... so it was ok.

I don't think it is fair to judge people's emotions, especially without offering your own idea of what is 'better'.
Having said that I agree I didn't find the scene particularly emotional. Firstly I was always a Tifa man, but second I was just thinking they would revive her with a phoenix down. Seemed to me they had all just forgot I had like 50 of them. As such it took me out of the scene a bit.
To clarify on exactly what it was in Wind Waker that got me:
First playthrough, back in 2003 (I was like eleven when I played this):
Then my most recent playthrough, back in October. To give some context, I'm a studentfrom India, studying in the US, and shitty stuff was happening, and I was really homesick:
And then I realized how beautiful I find Wind Waker on so many levels. Its graphics get a lot of praise for being ageless and beautiful... but its story is incredible, and its very human, and at some level, I think it resonates with all of us.
First playthrough, back in 2003 (I was like eleven when I played this):
At the beginning, when you leave Outset Island and say goodbye to your grandma.
Then when you go underwater to Hyrule, and see the frozen kingdom, and finally understand what's going on. Coming straight from Ocarina, it got me for some reason/
But the biggest one was the ending. When the King sacrifices himself for Link and Zelda, and wishes for their future... I mean, I remember crying and jumping for joy when the credits were rolling. No other game has ever evoked such a response from me.

Link says goodbye to his grandma, and leaves Outset. It made me tear up right then and there. Because now I knew how the story will end, and I knew he's never going back, he's never going to live his idyllic life in the village with his family ever again, that once he steps out into the world, he'll be changed forever, his life will be changed forever... and that struck a chord with me, and made me homesick...

It has nothing to do with other people's emotions, she had near 0 character development. Not sure how you could really care.
Also, who is "Aerith"?

People did care though, a lot from the sound of it. Just because you can;t see it, does not make it invalid.
Yeah that guy is an ass. Fuck.
That's cool, and I'm saying their opinion is shit. They're free to have their opinion though.

Man I think the edit is even worse than the original. He just needs to delete the picture and do something like this.

blah blah blah spoilers go here, I havent even finished the game myself but knowing what I know now pisses me off.
when shedied due to namatame
That whole segment was probably the most emotional experience I've had playing video games.
This is a great example of how not to tag spoilers.
Good thing I already finished that game.

Shenmue II
Good lord, that fucking game... Yep. I think it's the only one that ever got me to cry. That was years ago though.
Not flat out crying but yeah I got misty eyed at alot of scenes. Fantastic game.
Yep
I was in a brief period of shock after that. Powerful stuff.EDIT: ME3 had its moments. RDR and the MGS games come to mind as well.
The only game I've played to make me tear up because of how beautiful it was though (like the OP said) was Journey. Absolutely gorgeous game.
I thought the overlong tunnel of goodbyes was pretty sad. It was good BioWare reminded me I was playing a video game by sticking a turret sequence in there!

A poem, by IceDoesntHelp
I cried,
Oh yes I did.
I was playing,
A game.
Mario was,
Its name.
I jumped,
Off the Yoshi.
Oh yes I did.
That was,
The end of him.
The End.
I hope this touched you as much as it touched me.
BRB, need tissue.

I have never cried with any game (or movie or book for that matter), but many of them have gotten me very emotional. One I recently played was Mother 3, and the part that moved me and made me emotional was, specifically, this scene. That phrase was the one with the most impact, though. That game is beautiful...
I haven't played the Mass Effect games so I can't comment on that, but they seem to have moved quite some fellows to tears. I definitely want to check it out now.

Goddamn it. Add Mother 3 to my list as well.
