Always hear people talking about how they cried over stuff but me personally I never really cry over anything.... Honest and believe me I have seen the stuff that people consider they ball their eyes out over Example Walking dead, Clannad etc. Inside I basically feel like "Well that's sad" I never really feel the need to cry. What about you? do you actually cry over games/TV shows?

I well up, and occasionally get the "tears streaming". I've only openly sobbed a tiny handful of times. And never remotely to the level that I have during periods of actual emotional devastation.
I do. Hell, I remember my first time crying over a videogame or a movie.
The first movie that made me cry was The Green Mile. I was just 10 years and holly hell was I touched by the story of poor John Coffey
And the first game that made me cry was my favorite Front Mission 3. Liu, you poor, poor bastard.

No, not anymore at least. I used to when I was a kid. But honestly, the only thing in a movie that's gotten my eyes moist recently is the first 15 minutes of Up. And that was several years ago.

I may or may not get overly invested in the fictional lives of fictional characters.
But as far as genuine crying, I don't do it a whole lot, but I do do it more than most people I know. I get teary-eyed a lot, but it takes a much more than a simple sad or happy moment for me to cry tears of sorrow or joy respectively. Still, I probably watch/play at least one thing a year that I become emotionally invested in enough to go beyond just getting a little teary -eyed.

Yep. I don't recall ever necessarily being reduced to out and out rivers and tears, but I've definitely been impacted to the degree of getting misty eyed and even having a few tears fall on occasion.
I think most people use the term hyperbolically. I've never been driven to tears, but games and movies have given me very strong emotions and I've felt on the verge of crying before.The music they play helps a lot with that.
Man does Jim Butcher know how to hit you in the feels, that man is evil!. Changes got me close to a tear or two once or twice but it was Skin Game that finaly got me. Will not say more in case you have not read it yet but if you had a tear at Changes, Skin Game will got you as well.MisterShine said:
Movies:
Toy Story 3: that movie really got me at the end. Not just because of the movie itself but the fact that Toy Story was the first movie I ever saw at the movies.
Games:
Mass Effect 3
Morden, Thane, Legion, they died but Vega lived!? No justice in the universe!
Final Fantasy IX
I don't care what anyone says, ViVi DID NOT die! He was not at the reunion party at the end because hewas too busy driving sports cars and dating Supermodels!
Nothing on TV has ever got me but there were a few moments in Babylon 5 that came close. So many characters that you have grown to love getting completly screwed over by fate.
I cannot recall an instance of feeling the urge to cry from a piece of media. I find it a little strange seeing people actually cry when watching or playing something. The most I can recall feeling is a little flitter of feeling at really strong moments.

I've never yet. I've felt an emotional tenseness in my heart on rare occasion, but that's about the most I've ever gotten as far as "feels" go in media. I'm pleased with this, since crying is not a very enjoyable affair.
Yes, yes I have and do. If the moment is moving enough for me, I'll give a few tears. I know its not real, but I've found that fiction is good rehearsals for difficult real life situations. I also feel that having a good cry here and there is good for releasing pent up emotions and stress.
I can't say yes or no. I've misted up, maybe had a tear or two fall, but I've never full-bore balled over anything from an artistic medium.
Oh, god yeah. I'm gonna be vague so it can't spoil, but enough so people who do know what I am talking about.
Walking Dead Season 1 got me (Poor Kenny, Poor Clem, Poor Lee and Season 2 felt really weak compared to the first).
Mass Effect 3 got me. Fanastic music, and having about 70 hours of bonding time with the characters helped to make me actually want them to live.
There was this bit in Homeland involving a phonecall in a prison that got me.
I cried when the racoon picked up a stick in Guardians of the Galaxy.
I cried when Sam carried Frodo.
I cried for Harry Potter when he lost both of the people who protected him. But not when the annoying thing died.
I cried about 40 times for FitzChivalry or the Fool.
I cried when Leonidus asked for his queen.
Yeah, I cry loads when it comes to films, books, games and such. Because I don't cry in real life, it can be nice to have a release.

Yes I do, the latest was in Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger. There were two very emotional moments in the last nine episodes. The second to last were the worst.
The previous time was in Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger when a similar thing happened. I don't know why but Japanese kid's shows about superheros in spandex can be very emotional and heartbreaking for me sometimes.
The two main antagonists for most of the series died against the final boss in order for the main characters to win. They had just become friends and the one had finally admitted his feelings for the other (who was crushing on him the entire time .
