Can Videogames Make You Cry?

I cried when I finished LoZ:OoT for the first time. So sad that I had finished it, and so happy that it all got sorted out.
you kill Amanda
I really don't foresee Metroid giving me the same "no one look at me!!" moments that Braveheart, Heat, Magnolia, Dancer In The Dark and Crash gave me.
But it'll truly be revolutionary if/when that happens. Better storytelling is prerequisite.

Yes, in quite a few games actually.
MGS games get me every time... 1: sniper wolf, 2: Emma (she was annoying but otacons pain was the trigger), 3: the end... of the game (i was gutted), 4:... there were several instances.
Shadow of the colossus and ico had their moments.
There have been a couple other titles but many more have made me somewhat emotional.
It's always down to the story though, gameplay has no real impact... i remember playing an awful game for the ps2 (it was free so i played it though out of boredom) that had a heart wrenching moment in it. I think it was called Oni or something, i can't remember exactly. These games have had a lasting impact whcih is probably why i have a better appreciation for the medium then some.
Then again i might just be a pussy.

Earthbound made me come close, but only because I started to think about it as a movie. Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4 came pretty close for me
.
There are few games that could do it to me, though.
Edit: I found one game that does it to me: King Kong: The Official game of the movie, during the King Kong segments. For some reason, trying to save the screaming Ann makes me just tear up a bit, and I fight all that much harder against the T-Rex and whatnot. Seems to be the only thing that makes me cry.
That scene in MGS4 when Snake Put that gun Barrel in his mouth, I really thought he was going to die

I've never cried. Some my eyebrows have wrinkled a bit but i've never cried. Its hard though as movies rarely make me cry. If one would it would be an unbelievable achievement.
I can't watch this without crying. Fuck you, Lost Odyssey. And yes, I have been posting that like crazy, why do you ask?
The ending of Baten Kaitos made me very emotional, almost tear-filled. Also, the ending of Silent Hill Shattered Memories made me and a friend of mine have that "oh my gosh" reaction. Other than that, a few games have made me feel a little bit emotional but not too much.
Final Fantasy Tactics got me teary eyed a few times but I think that's about it.
curse you, Delita!!
