Ninja'd. Well, almost. I didn't actually tear up, but during that scene in Metal Gear Solid 2 with Otacon and his sister, and Raiden and Snake just standing there, it was very poignant.Zebidizy said:
"Hal . . . call me . . . call me Emma." "What's wrong with E.E.? . . . Emma? Emma!" Why does it always happen to you, Otacon? Why, indeed.
The ending of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep is pretty moving as well, provided you're a fan of the series.
These threads always give me pause for thought.
Are there really so many people out there crying as they play video games? Like, with actual wet salty tears running down their faces? Because I find it a little hard to believe.
OT: No. A few have made me feel sad, but tears are yet to emerge.

Persona 4. The train ride back home, That got me where it hurt.
And Teddie's voice-over made it even more depressing...
"Doesn't matter how far apart we are. The bonds we made will remain strong. Everyone's heart is connected to the people they know and trust. It's those bonds that led us all search for our purpose in life. As long as it's a purpose you believe in, there will always be a someone who can help you fulfill it. You, me, and everyone else; There are no barriers. Our hearts are one. Right, Sensei?"

No different than crying at a movie.Zhukov said:
And since you are more immersed than a movie, then it doesn't seem so strange at all.
I'd have to say the end credits of The World Ends With You always get me a little choked up. I'd describe why, but I suck at describing.
More recently, there's a scene early on in Xenoblade Chronicles that is just straight-out HEARTBREAKING. If you've played a few hours into the game already, you know what I'm talking about. For those of you who don't... here's a video.
Warning: if you EVER plan on playing Xenoblade Chronicles, do NOT watch the below video! COLOSSAL SPOILERS ALERT.

Thinking back on all the games I've played the only one I can think of that made me cry was the ending of Okamiden.
(Major spoiler for the ending of Okamiden. Read at your own risk)
That was back when the game first came out. I played it again recently and still got misty eyed at that part.
I also kinda want to count the ending of Final Fantasy VI but that didn't so much make me cry as it did make me feel very emotional.

I was already upset when Kurow left and then came back and turned on me but at the very end when you have to kill him? I honestly couldn't do it! I closed my DS and left it for a good ten minutes before finally manning up and finishing. And then I just sobbed through the entire ending sequence.

Well, I think that's the sign that it was very well executed. Honestly, say what you want about how convoluted everything Hideo Kojima touches is (justified because, frankly, he could use an editor), but I think it's awesome that I actually feel sorry for the Beauties in Metal Gear Solid 4 after I defeat them because of their backstory, or that Emma's death after only being introduce shortly before could be so poignant, or that Ocelot is such an interesting and complicated character in his appearances related to the "Les Enfantes Terribles" and Big Boss, and The Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3. . . I'd better stop gushing now. And not only because that has become an indecipherable run-on sentence.otakon17 said:
Suffice to say, as cut-scene heavy as the Metal Gear Solid series is, I absolutely love the amount of characterization most of the NPC's get.
EDIT: Oh, the Colossi in "Shadow of the Colossus" have very heavy-handed endings as well, especially when taken in context with the story.
I dunno if anyone has added this buuut I'll jump on the bandwagon and say the end of Half Life 2 episode 2 I have been saddened and shed a tear in other videogames but nowhere near as much as Hl2ep2.
I have a pretty good relationship with my father, so that's probably why this made me so upset when I saw it (I pretty much was a 'daddy's girl' growing up) and having the building up of Alyx promising to see her father again throughout ep1+2 made it a bit more heart-wrenching for me goddamn Valve....(you have a fantastic eye or ear... for voice talent) 
Here's the vid if anyone needs to see it, if you haven't you've been warned...

Keep in mind here that I was like 7 when this happened... I cried at the end of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the GBA. One of the major characters dies in a really sad way. I actually thought the story was really good, aside from staring Sonic characters.
