I thought of another few moments (yes, my memory is a bit on the bad side when I'm sleep deprived)
The ending of Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, the Zoni and Clank was just a major stab to the heart.
Final Fantasy X's ending, most people cry because of Tidus and Jecht and their tragedy, but mine was because of Auron. Seeing this stoic warrior monk just fade away after learning his story, honestly brought me to tears.
The whole last part of Red Dead Redemption. Goddamn man, manly tears were shed. I can honestly say it was the first and only time I've been moved to tears by a video game.
ive never cried from a moment in a game, ive only ever really had that feeling of loss after completing an excellent game, knowing never again shall your experience of the game be the same as that first playthrough.
ahhh... Halo, Mass effects, gears, Amnesia (questionably though, my nerves were so taut through that game it gave me headaches)
The Good Ending to Infamous 2 made me cry a little bit. It was such a moving and beautiful way for Cole to go out as the hero: making the ultimate sacrifice in the most unselfish manner.
As of yet no, I got choked up at a couple of scenes in Gears of War 2 and 3 (I think you know which ones) but I haven't cried yet...and the weird thing is that I actually want to find a game that CAN make me cry...my fingers are crossed for ME3.
Zone Of The Enders, Kojima's tribute to Gundam (or the free game that came with the MGS2 demo). Not everyone liked this, mainly because the protagonist was a whiny little cist, but the theme song was so nice I learned it on the piano but isnt as nice without the singing in Japanese. It kicks in at the end when this polite patient robot explains how she has to sacrifice herself in the future and in fact was always designed to and all delivered in a stoic monotone. Then her voice cracks at the end when noone's listening and I like to think that's the double meaning of the ZOE title logo of Jupiter's orbits, it looks a bit like a robot's eye. It's not but that's just me.
I crack up at any veteran badass character sacrificing themselves e.g. Gray Fox. And anything with a weak shy character flipping out in righteous fury
And Klonoa. Yeah, it was manipulative, overcooked and in a kids game but Klonoas grandad dying was so unexpected when the whole game was cheery and chibi up till then. Underrated platformer by the way.
All females know men don't have emotions and don't cry. We're like robots. Ask my wife. We ball things up until we explode on some unlucky soul that is unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I've never cried during a film,book, game or any other form of media.
The darkness. I can remember beating it and not being able to stop crying afterwards for a good five minutes or so. Still get a few tears in my eyes when I hear Jenny's theme. THIS. Though I didn't actually cry cry, jesus that game was sad. Other particularly sad moments I can think of... The end of Red Dead Redemption (the first ending, obviously).
I nearly cried at the end of Ocarina of Time, but I was too young for that to count.
The bad Catwoman ending was sad, but it was actually the regular ending that got me
the Joker just can't die. The idea of either him outliving Bruce or vice versa is just really sad to me, as they need to bounce off each other to keep the whole Batfamily vs Arkhamfamily dynamic working. Also in the comics (pre-reboot) Joker's personality is so complex that despite all the horrible things he does in some stories he's the "good" guy and you really root for him. Plus, bizarrely, he actually makes Gotham a little lighter, as the idea of having a group of villains where the top dog is obsessed with simply sparring with his nemesis means that the most genuinely ruthless mob guys and Hush-type villains are kept in check. Batman has actually brought him back to life using a Lazarus Pit before, so that was where I was expecting it to be headed. But when I realised he had actually died... ;_;
Yeah, as you can see I get quite emotionally invested in fictional worlds, Gotham in particular.

he will be back alive for the next game probably in the begining/second act by a lazarus pit or something else... also he isnt dead in comics continuity (well at least if he was/will turn up dead in the current "detective" story line he will return soon enogh since he is shown in dark knight (which happens like 4 years later)
and idk i just dont get emotionally invested in fictional worlds...

Yeah I have the opposite thing to that in that the writing of something has to be atrocious for me not to care. Comics, books, games, films... I get very attached to characters very quickly. Not to say that I don't understand your viewpoint, I know a lot of people who do the same, but it's just something I never really experience.
Not sure if I need the spoiler tag at this point but it can't hurt...
I didn't think he would be what with Mark Hamill retiring from the role, also I thought maybe the Lazarus Pit might have been in some way defunct because it's full of Basil (I know that's not how it works in the comics, but I *think* that was what the game was driving at when he glooped into it, and as much as Bruce doesn't kill and Harley would do anything to revive him I can't see either of them dragging him to Nanda Parbat (which I have probably misspelt.)
Also in the post-reboot comics I know he's alive and well, I just didn't include them because so far they have not wowed me. Though I have a pet theory and you seem to read comics so may I ask you; do you think White Rabbit from Batman: The Dark Knight is Linda Friitawa (aka Fright) from the 2004 Winick story As the Crow Flies? It would make sense as they keep saying the toxin is similar to Scarecrow's fear gas and she is an albino. Plus, stranger things have happened, like Morrison making Lord Death Man comic canon.

so there are answers for your questions:
in the end of the day the joker will live thats not even a question
i can totally see harley drag him to a lazarus pit even if its in antartica
i havent read the story you are talking about but DC said its a new character maybie just a new persona though cause it was described as a "new villian"
