There are two moments that evokes rather profound emotional responses in me.

when I was 8...
that Klonoa 2 ending made me cry a little
since then, I haven't cried once at a game

I've never cried from a video game.
If it was going to happen, it would've happened after I bought No More Heroes.
That game was painfully awful.

planescape torment had me crying when
I made the choice to give morte to the skull pillar in exchange for knowledge about my past. I was so into it I didn't even think I could just reload the game afterwards. Then I was so relieved when I had the choice to retrieve him afterwards at the cost of a mere 15 permanent hp.
See? Everyone has the same story...Grey_Focks said:this. no game has made me come closer to tears...except "Demon's Souls", but that's for a whole different reason.Korten12 said:almost at the ending of MGS3.
If you didn't feel something sad come over you at the end of MGS3 your not human.
I've never cried at a game, surprising because I find good movies often make me cry (Drew Barrymore at the end of E.T., gets me every time, dammit). Good music even makes me cry (Nessun Dorma - especially when Pavarotti [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOfC9LfR3PI] sings it). But video games... I've always considered frustration to be the video games equivalent of emotionality, maybe because I get very VERY pissed off at video games. The high you feel once you relieve that tension can be incredible, which is why difficult games are so great. If video games ever lose touch with this aspect it'll be a sad day.Lauren Admire said:
Got a lump in my throat from the end of FF: Crisis Core and Shadow of the Collosus. FFX actually made me shed a couple tears. ='( And the good ending in Bioshock filled my heart with fluffy warmth, but didn't make me cry. =)
All other games that are supposed to have sappy parts/ending just fail to draw me in, mostly because of poor plot/character development/annoying gameplay and I scoff at them.

Only once. It was while playing MagaMan X during the fight with Sigma when
Zero broke out of the cage he was in and destroyed Sigma's armored carrier to give you a chance to break free of Sigma's electrical bonds, causing his (Zero's) own death in the process. I fucking loved Zero
I've cried during the true ending of Persona 3. The music that followed the scene during the credits served to reinforce that as well.
Final Fantasy IX almost caused me to shed a tear as well when I thought Zidane was dead.

I'm curious as to what caused to to cry in horror at Tales of the Abyss. didn't feel anything remotely like that though I was sad at the end over Luke's decision. Only briefly though.NeutralDrow said:
Pokemon Blue when I thought that when you're beaten by the Elite 4 you lose your savefile.
That was a bad few seconds as I got back to the game.

FFVII on more than one occasion, I was only about 10 when I played it. I cried when Aeris died, the story with Red XIII and Seto.
Crisis Core's ending when Zack died ofc.
Lost Odyssey made me cry within about 10 minutes (the first dream sequence) and rather infamously when Lirum died.
