The story of games can make me cry, for example when Roach got burned alive in MW2
Not so much because of gameplay, I only get angry at gameplay

Can Videogames Make You Cry?

Can't say I have. Closest I ever came to feeling an emotinal moment was during a Cutscene in Mass Effect, but it was more of a rage moment more then anything.
It was my first playthrough and I accidentally killed Wrex. Worse part was he was my damage dealer with his high shields and powerful guns.
I get choked up a lot in certain games, though the only one that made me tear up was at the end of Disc 1 in Final Fantasy VII. That just killed me (as it were).
Final Fantasy VII had some moments where I was quiet sad, and Wing Commander had its moments.
I wouldnt say outright bawling my eyes out, but when a game really does well and gets you to emphasise with the characters in game (mostly RPG) then it just means the game was that good when you do feel a twinge of sadness.
... then again I get sad when I reach the end of a good book, or a tv series I was enjoying... or the end of a good game and realise thats my ticket spent, I could go back again..but its not the same.

The end of Mafia (On the PC), and the end of Baldur's Gate 2 (Pre-Throne of Bhaal) when everyone was shouting their final battle-cry to Irenicus in hell. Especially Jaheria's, since she was my romance interest, and she was still pretty pissed about Khalid.
So was I, actually. I loved Khalid.

The closest I ever came to crying due to a game was the end of MGS4. I didn't actually cry but I got a little choked up. That's the only time I can recall however.
I cried like when I was a little kid. It was pathetic but goddamnit I was MOVED by that. I was actually swearing Kojima, you BASTARD under my breath in that last moment with The Boss. Why he made us do that...Korten12 said:almost at the ending of MGS3.
I haven't cried before, but there have been a few games that almost made me cry. Final Fantasy VII with Rex XIII's father and Aries dying, different parts in FFX, and the end of Crisis Core. That one really almost did it.
I've only cried over a video game when I've been staring at the t.v for 4 hours straight, damn you halo and your bloom! I have been pretty much everything else he mentioned though, frustrated, angry and scared, and the frustration has gone to the point when I'm at tears (I really need to learn when to give up and put the game down, but I won't be defeated, damnit!) but I have never felt saddened by a game.
Ending of FFX. Yuna runs through Tidus as he's fading away, falls to the ground, and then just proceeds to lay there for a while with this devastated look in her eyes.
