The end of Mass Effect 3 with the self-sacrifice ending.
Fire Emblem: Awakening, when Chrom is reunited with his daughter.
Towards the end of Final Fantasy VIII, when Squall and Rinoa are finally reunited safely aboard the Ragnarok.
At some point in Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, but is was so long ago I don't remember why.

I can't say that I've cried during a game. There were a few points where I felt emotional during the mass effects and dragon age 2 and had to stop playing but I've never cried during a game. I can't even think of a movie I've cried in.
Plenty of media makes me emotional but I can't think of any that has made me cry. That said I haven't played telltales the walking dead yet and am keen to see if it can break my preverable drought.

Hmm, I can cry a lot in a good story
Mass Effect 3 during
The Walking Dead, Jesus Christ so much feels
Katawa Shoujo had some really sad moments too, hmm, what else...not sure, but I know there are more.
Mass Effect 3 during
Thane's death when his son reads that prayer, oh my god

When I finished SoulBlazer (SNES) for the first time. But I was 14 so that might have been hormones.
New Vegas too but that was just because the damn thing wouldn't work for 5 mins before crashing.

I can't even begin to name all the games that have gotten me to at least get a little teary eyed, and it can happen for multiple different reasons. As far as actually crying in a game, well, there are a few instances I can remember.
Those are the three I think of the most often. There are others, but none of them are as easy to remember, probably because they aren't as recent and I can't remember if I cried or just teared up a little.
At the end when Lee and Clementine are debating about what she should do to him: kill him or let him turn into a zombie. To realize that this was the end of their time together and to see how much Clementine had to go through at her age was too much handle.
The stargazer scene. Basically, the Mass Effect menu theme playing as the father and son talked about Shepherd's story brought a flood of memories from what has got to be my favorite series in gaming. I tried not to because my brother was in the room, but I just couldn't hold back the tears. This wasn't the only scene in the game that did it, as I know I did at Rannoch and other places as well, but it was the most memorable to me.
The very end. In a complete reversal of what The Walking Dead did, this one got me to cry for joy. The journey was over, things looked optimistic, and everyone who had been transformed into cyborgs was able to live a normal life again. After spending over 150 hours in anticipation of what would happen after it was all over, not to mention that the game did an excellent job getting you to connect to all these characters and their world, it was a joy to finally see it all conclude wonderfully. Like Mass Effect 3, there were other moments, but this one got to me the most.

Walking Dead is the closest a game has ever gotten to making me cry, my eyes were welling up in that end scene.
Oh god this.Rooster893 said:
MGS3 was my first MGS game, and I played it prior to MGS4, so I was especially saddened to see Big Boss die. At least he went peacefully....
OT: Well let's see here, I didn't neccesarily cry out loud, but I did get close quite a few times due to these games:
The ending to Klonoa
The ending to Shadow of the Colossus
Journey during the end sequence
MGS3
During and after the fight with The Boss and when you found out why she did what she did.
Valkyria Chronicles
When Isara died. I was kinda expecting someone to die in the game. But not Isara! D':
Strictly video games: Mother 3 beats all. Even knowing it would happen, I still cried like a baby when
And even though you can't make out complex emotions, the 16-bit sprites still seem to be even more expressive than David Cage's tech demo. It's not about what you have, but what you do with it - and what Mother 3 did with what it had was just indescribable.
If we allow visual novels as well: I just finished Arcueid's route of Tsukihime, and that was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. Up and down and up and down, feeling so happy, scared, sad, and like the worst human being alive - and then it ended and I was left feeling...I don't even know, but there were tears.
Hinata died. And that's only the first time. I'm not even going to put the others in spoiler tags - either you know, or you should find out for yourself.

You've gone through so much together, and now she has to leave, and you'll never see her again. But before she finally disappears, she tells you to keep living the way you were, since that was who she loved. And I completely broke down.
"It doesn't matter how much we see each other, but how much we think of each other." That's from Kingdom Hearts, but it applies perfectly to Arcueid's true ending.

I rarely cry at videogames. But I almost cried at:
1. That moment right before the final battle in Shadow of the Colossus, additionally the final battle in Ico.
2. The "Link the Fire" ending in Dark Souls and also when you realize that Kirk was only trying to get your humanity so he could heal the Fair Lady.

I put yes but i don't think i ever actual cried during a game only after like i cried when i heard this after bioshock infinite
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e4Crth_Hb8
but i don't think i did during the game.
I don't know why but i think that there might be something about games.
Like they offer experiences rather then voyeurism so we can't cry unless the character would cry.
I mean spec ops made me want to sit down and cry but i never actual did it.

MGS3 was really REALLY close. Just didn't hit home, still very well done on an emotional level.
Then I played Persona 4, and that was it. Its ending left me balling, nothing could stop the tears, it was inevitable.

I know, all been said before: Mass Effect (all 3) and Red Dead.
Two that haven't come up: Far Cry 2 when my favorite buddy went out in a blaze of glory while we were raiding a king's treasure hoard, and believe it or not, Halo 3 at "Send me out with a bang."
