Persona 3 and 4 were real bastards on that regard... Got teared up at the ending of Walking dead, MGS3, MGS4, Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the abyss. They're probably more... But yeah, my memory is crap, sorry.

Dragon Age Origins and the Grey Wardens. They fight without any thought of gain for themselves and risk death just to join the group.
The grey warden stuff gets lost under EVERYTHING ELSE trying to be so dark, edgy and depressing. Why no tears for the mages? Why no tears for Morrigan and what she has to do to save people from her mother?
At least Mages weren't treated as bad as the elves by the end of the first game. They were civilization's punching bags.

No tears for Morrigan cause I couldn't not kill kids without getting disapproval.

Mass effect 3: No more info needed.

Halo reach: What? why? how? the time at which Kat died, the music did not help. And the last level, one vs all, such a great ending...

Borderlands 2: After Angel was killed and Rolan was, shot, in the back. I did not see it coming and I like the guy, Also made Jack all that more hateful.

I think there are other games and other scenes, but you get the idea, I am no iron man when it comes to crying...

Cried while playing Lost Odyssey... but my mom had died not long before, so I was already rather emotional. If any of you've ever played it, you know it can be a pretty depressing game; you might also guess what set off my tears without my having to figure out how spoiler tags work, hehe.

I tend to shed tears from pride and accomplishment more so than sadness.

Half Life 2 "Little Rocket Man" achievement. I stood up, saluted and shed a few when Gnome Chompsky made it into space.

Beating Viewtiful Joe on the hardest difficulty.

Biggest one was Ace Combat 4, Megalith. The music, the radio chatter, the mission itself, the ending. Big freakin' bucket of tears.

Side note: For movies, Joy Luck Club. I wept like a little girl at that ending.

No, not at all. But I did get sad in NUNS3 when Minato and Kushina say their final words to Naruto, as they're dieing from the Fox claw punctured through their bodies. (Never saw this scene in the anime or manga, so it was fresh for me when I saw it in the game)

Lots of games. I cry a lot at Tales of the Abyss.

I cry over A...a... him. I cry over I...I... him as well.
I cry every time I hear this song to be honest.

I cry all the time and over a lot of games. But to honest, hardly anything is as emotionally evocative for me as this song.
First game that ever made me cry. This music alone is enough to make me tear up a little. Tales of the Abyss was a really great game, I'm so glad it was finally released in Europe.

Not sure if there are any other games that made me cry. Lufia 2 was depressing as hell, but I breezed through that one. Professor Layton Lost Future made me really sad though. It combines beautiful animation, a well written story and stunning voice acting in a way that made me care so much about the professor over the 3 games leading up to the ending of the third.

Valkyrie Profile, there's this woman who loves the ocean but her parents died at sea. One day she's down at the ocean and a wave drags her out to sea and she drowns, she had wished to be with her parents and that's how her wish came true.

Final Fantasy X, when Yuna does the sending for the people of Kilika.

Front Mission 3 when your sister sacrifices herself to destroy MIDAS

Fable when I killed my sister to keep the sword, reminded me of my own dead sister and I felt like I had just killed her.
Seriously, use the spoiler tags. You are exposing important plot events here and it's not certain everyone has played the games you are talking about. I have just got Valkyria Chrnocles and now I am going to try to forget what you said about it before I am going to play it. It's a matter of a few extra seconds and you avoid spoiling the games.

I didn't spoil it because the game came out over a decade ago.

Mass Effect 3, with some of its death scene brought a tear to my eye, but the real waterworks only came on during Unreal II: The Awakening's ending. Classic!

From what I can recall from my memory the most recent games that made me cry/tearjerk/shed a mantear were:

Mass Effect 3 on multiple occasions:

Thane - "The prayer was not for me Commander"

Mordin - "I am the very model of a scientist salari...boom"

Tali romance on Rannoch gave me a happy tear jerk.

Walking Dead:

Lee's final scene with Clementine was one of the most sentimental moments that I couldn't stop myself from sobbing all throughout that dialogue.

These are the only ones I remember recently. Nothing wrong with crying when there is an appropriate time for it in certain circumstances, it's only human to do so.

That does not mean no-one is going to play it. I played Lufia 2 13 years after it was released for the first time.

If you are going to reveal a major plot event ALWAYS use spoiler tags. Don't care about the age of the game. It should also be noted that you did post Final Fantasy X spoilers, which is spoilers to a game that is being released later this year for those who either missed it the first time around or wants to replay it. So age is no excuse here.

Not in quite a number of years, and never out loud... but I do remember back when I was 14 (1995) and playing through Final Fantasy VI for the first time...
I was still reeling from the game's depiction of a magical apocalypse, wondering if the game had outright killed any members of my party, when I failed at a minigame that the game doesn't exactly tell you you're playing... and killed Cid with bad fish... then what appeared to be the last remaining protagonist (who was one of my favorite characters... still is, actually) attempted suicide.

...which covered two ways that I had lost friends in the few years before that: wasting sickness and suicide.
...in short: it wasn't really the game's fault, but it mirrored a couple of recent losses in my life, so I choked up and shed a few tears before wrestling myself back under control. I voted manly tears. Been a long time...

Oh jeebus, that was another one that squeezed manly tears from my teenage self. Dat ending, man... probably the heaviest hitter of its generation.
...okay, I admit it... the choking sensation still shows up a tad when I contemplate the story with this song going. Christ, I beat this game over 15 years ago, the cartridge is practically enshrined.

my apologies, I have since edited the post. I thought after 10 years it was okay. I know not to post spoilers for games that came out within like the past 3 years but I thought a decade was fairly safe.

I think Bioshock: Infinite is probably the closest I've come to crying, and yes I've played the Walking Dead/Mass Effect 3/most of the other games listed in the first few posts that people said made them cry. (SPOILER:) When Booker cries out, "Give me back my daughter!" I got pretty misty-eyed.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronices Rings of Fate. Inexplicably.

Then the Walking Dead, at multiple points throughout the story, To the Moon (not the ending, but the reveal right before the horribly forced gameplay section).

I have never found a game to be engaging enough to be worthy of tears
It's just games though as I think I teared up over a book once
