Choosing between Tali and Legion, and by extension the Free Geth and the Quarians, when I had insufficent charm points to bring them together. Its even more gutting because now I know both ways, I lose Legion, another friend to add to the list. And not being able to really stick two fingers up at the Reapers in any meaningful way didn't help >.<

in Mass effect 3 (endgame camp) you can hear a conversation where a medic is instructing a civilian over the radio in providing first aid for some guy who got his leg blown off
It was so painful to hear I actually had to get away...
See, now I read the title and took it the wrong way than was explained in the OP. Basically, whenever I play a game it causes discomfort and pain. Not so much of an emotional connection. However:
Choosing the "Destroy" option made me feel a little guilty about the Geth (don't really care about EDI ), until I reasoned that people wouldn't necessarily destroy blueprints and the Cruicible wouldn't affect VI.
Also, minor point, but can people actually mark their spoilers? It's all well and good to just throw up a spoiler tag, but how would people know what the spoiler is without reading it? If you don't know, it's {spoiler=Title}Text{/spoiler}.
OMG MASSIVE SPOILS!!
Just so it doesn't just read "Spoiler: Click to View", is all.
Having to "kill" Repta in Red Faction 2. He's your ally for quite a bit after Tangier ragequits. When i got to the level and "killed" him, I felt pretty bad, only to realize he comes back as Repta Plus, who is a real pain in the ass to kill.
I can never be mean to my dog in the fable games, either I mean hes my dog how could anyone be mean to him.
Mass Effect 3 had lots of emotionally charged moments with the characters for me probably far too invested in the whole game but the one below left me feeling really bad.
The fall of thessia in mass effect 3 was horrible, pretty much knowing you failed and did it badly and lost the asari home world and got beaten by Cerberus all at once. Just the whole brutal failure every single time.
Renegade playthroughs on mass effect have a lot of just being a dick and then a bit of seriously fucking people over for your own ends... will need to be in the right mood to get through 3 with all my being an asshole finally coming back to bite me in the butt, but I was determined to see both sides.
Games that make me physically uncomfortable: the inevitable torture scene in every MGS game. The button mashing makes my hand cramp up.
Games that make me emotionally uncomfortable, which is more in keeping with the OP: can't think of any. Maybe playing something really fan-servicy or gory in front of my mother or one of my aunts would do it, but I can't think of a game that's really made me uncomfortable on its own. It's a game, not real life.
Edit: For those who don't get the MGS reference, the player character is the one getting tortured, and it's a segment where you have to rapidly mash the circle button to get through. It's a James Bond style "how is he going to get out of this?" torture scene, not a post-9/11 "this should be making you uncomfortable" scene.
At first seeing this thread, I thought you meant physical actions that made you uncomfortable. For example, I found it uncomfortable doing the Shoryuken motion on the right side of the screen on Street Fighter.
Oh well, here is mine anyways.
I accidentally defended Jack when she was having an argument with Miranda. I actually felt pretty bad about it, since Miranda didn't like me anymore. I didn't want to play the game for nearly a month since then.
Also in regards to the spoiler tags.
Please can't you just put the game that you are spoiling in before someone has to click the spoiler? For example just cover what you're spoiling on the cover of the spoiler tag, or if you don't know how, just cover what you're spoiling before you put it in the spoiler tag. Because either you're pretty much spoiling it anyways by people wanting to see your post, or people who are even likely to have finished the game won't want to read your post in worries of spoilers.
It's even worse that some of these posts spoil the game in the first sentence within the spoiler tags, with no warning beforehand. You might as well have not put the spoiler tags in at all...
Lots of morality discussion in here, but I can say with authority that the one thing that makes me feel genuinely PHYSICALLY uncomfortable in games is "heights". I'm acrophobic, so if your game has me clinging to a little ledge or performing acrobatics at some absurd height my palms become instantly sweaty and my testicles try to climb back up inside my body.
I actually had to stop playing Mirror's Edge pretty early on, I just couldn't take it.
Here's a good test to see if you, too, are afraid of heights!

i had to let mordin sacrifice himself. i mean, that's just not cool. that along with thanes sacrifice was pretty saddening, especially the end scene with his son.
the andrew ryan incident in bioshock also did unnerve me a fair bit.
Alien vs. Predator, playing through the alien campaign.
After you finish the face hugger segment, you run around as the worm, and "Must find fresh meat to grow. Small mammals are good."
Basically just a lot of platfroming and killing the odd insect... until you hear a cat mewing. And an icy pit slowly formed in my stomach. There was a cat in a box, meowerling pathetically. It was not a happy cat. And the game wants you to... eat it.
Long story short, I still haven't finished that game.
A daedric quest starting in Markarth has you lure a priest into a dungeon and to a shrine, where he is killed. You then eat him, along with a group of other cannibals, all of them making fun of the whole thing, one hinting at eating her husband ("My husband recently passed, very sad. He had such wonderful... taste."), another at serving human(oid) flesh to the customers at his inn.
You even get a ring that gives you a stat buff whenever you eat someone.
And that's why I hated the uproar about the "killable children" mod.
