No reason to cry at the good ending of infamous 2. Or am I the only one who saw that lightning bolt?
Oh I saw it too, I just thought that Zeke's eulogy was deeply moving. And now I've started calling everyone brother.

I actually preferred the Evil ending in Infamous 2, because it just felt like the better option in my mind.

OT: Infamous 2's endings were quite emotional, although not tear-jerking to me.
A few games have made me cry though, and these are: [SPOILERS, obviously]
Red Dead Redemption
I never expected to become attached to John Marston to the degree that I did, but when he met his end at the hands of the army, I felt sincere sadness.
Final Fantasy X - Not going to spoiler tag this because it would involve me pretty much transcribing the ending. Suffice it to say, the ending is bitter-sweet, to say the least, and left me bawling.
A few more have left an impression on my emotional side, as did Infamous 2 above, the likes of which are:
Kingdom Hearts, as a series, although each instalment has its fair share of heart warming or heart wrenching moments.
Yakuza 3 & 4 (I missed the first two, so I can't tell you), because of the rich story and likable characters, even if it gets a bit convoluted at times.

Is it sad that the part I found most emotionally distressing in all of the Kingdom Hearts series is when Winnie the Pooh loses all his friends and can't remember who you are in II?

Not at all. I'm not a Pooh fan, so it was really just an obstacle to be overcome in my eyes.
I prefer the end of Roxas' story, or the final episode of Birth by Sleep.

I can't believe Aerith hasn't been mentioned yet.

OT: I cried when I accidently upset Prince in Animal Crossing. I was younger then.

It was during the mission "Easy-Going" where I thought to myself "this is awesome, this is something I can imagine my friends and I doing" (minus the Blast Core thing and all) and that to me, cemented the relationship with Cole and Zeke, which made the evil ending SO much harder. This guy went through everything with you (I'd even argue he never really betrayed you,) defended you against people who hated you and stuck by your evil ways to the very end where he finally says "damn man, this is wrong."

Few games have really made me appreciate the character's friendships.

Several times really, to be specific the ending of Okami. I won't go into detail as it would probably require a fair bit of explaining, but it really did end on a wonderful note.

If that is the case then we can be 'sad'(in both senses of the word) together. I admit that series has somehow always managed to be emotional in it's storytelling for me. Not really sure how though.

For me the closest a game came to making me cry was the end of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. That made me tear up and that is the closest I came to crying from a game. That ending is really depressing.
This. Professor Layton and the Last Specter also go me pretty emotional, though it didn't have me in tears like Unwound Future.

I think, for me, it's because it's a mash-up of all the things I loved as a child and a lot of the games I've loved as an adult, all set to a fantastically emotive soundtrack that does an impeccable job of merging the feel of Disney movies and Square games...

A lot of young people posting here. Or so I hope.

As for the question, no. No game has come even close. The medium isn't that far yet.
I'd take issue with that statement, there are some fantastic storytellers working in the industry that have already created incredible games. And for the record, I'm 24, although I fail to see what bearing age has in this.
