When the 3rd part of The Lord of the Rings came out, I went to the premiere. It was shown as a marathon. The first two parts started in the late afternoon and the premiere was at 0:01. After about 9 hours, you get pretty connected to the characters, the story and all the emotions in it. It was tough for me to keep my eyes dry during the last few moments of part 3
I am a pretty pathetic person; pretty much everything makes me cry. Mainly movies though, because I'm not trying to hard to stay alive that I don't get a chance to cry, so stuff like Schindler's List, Gran Torino, Let the Right One In, Billy Elliot...pretty much anything. And books make me cry too, mainly when the mentor dies. Music as well. It's so embarrassing when you suddenly get all teary because you had your iPod on shuffle on the train and 'Hurt' came on.
Elfen Lied, believe me, had a lot of those moments.
Nana getting dismembered
Mayu's past
Lucy's dog being beat to death in front of her
Koata's sister and father being murdered in front of him
I could be here all day, really.

Hurt is a really good song. In the right mood some songs can really get to me tooBetancore said:
I cried at the end of Sands of Time, but keep it to yourselves.
The Prince and Farah are so well-written, and the story is just told. There's nothing forced, it just feels so real and human. I'll always give kudos to Ubisoft for that.
I know Jordan Mechner wrote it, but they still brought everything together and they did the same thing with the Assassin's Creed 2. The story in both feel bold and original, and they're just told to you without being patronising - which is why I get so angry at people who didn't pay any attention the ending of AC 2.

in the manga Claymore when Teresa was killed, they went over her character development from a ***** to a motherly figure, and also when Jean died. they were both great, and human, characters
Maybe it's just me, but I cried the first time I watched RENT, at the part where
Angel dies. He was my favorite character in the movie, it was devastating.
Jurassic Bark? Or perhaps the one involving the four leaf clover? I'm with you, man.Xojins said:

James Cameron's Titanic, when the band play "Nearer My God to Thee".
Only people with hearts of stone haven't cried to that scene.

All of these have been copy/pasted from a thread titled "Emotional vidya stories." You can find it fairly easily with a google search.
My dad and I used to play Super Black Bass Fishing on the SNES when I was younger. I hated the damn game, because I hated fishing and the outdoors in general, but it was the only game he could really get into.
We used to have Saturday "fishing trips" where we'd lock ourselves in the den, make sure my mom and sister left us the fuck alone, and we'd play this game. I slowly started to enjoy it, because it's impossible to be mad at anything when you and your dad are drinking pop and beer (respectively), eating chips, swapping stories and the controller, and having fun.
My dad was more like a bro than a dad. He'd encourage me if I needed encouragement, put me in my place if I was a ****, and always had my back. As I grew older, I'd come home heartbroken from being dumped, and he'd tell me stories of some crazy ***** he'd been with in the sixties or whatever, and always make me feel better. He'd come to the bar with me, sing karaoke with me, and even once punched a guy in the mouth for trying to start a fight with me over, of all things, my t-shirt. That man was so great that, when I was ten, I saw Guns n' Roses in concert in Los Angeles with my cousin. I came home screaming about how I wanted to be Slash because he was so cool and I want to play guitar, so he went and sold one of the rifles my grandfather left him to buy me an electric guitar. I still have it, and when I played onstage for the first time with my guitar instructor in 2001, he was in the audience, crying and telling everyone "that's my boy!". Fuck, I'm tearing up. Back on-topic.
Anyways, he died in 2003, from heart problems. I miss him terribly, and just about a year ago I downloaded the Super Black Bass ROM and resolved to finish it for my pa. We had never beaten it.
I finally did and I don't think I have ever cried so hard in my life. It only took us about thirteen years, but we did it, Dad. I love you man.
My brother and I played Perfect Dark to death on Co-op.
Our favorite level was Chicago. Why? I never quite figured it out. The level just grew on us, the music, the setting, it felt right.
But I'd always play Counter Co-op with him on the map, and let him kill me until I spawned inside the stripper joint, just so I could let him in from the other side.
Mockingly, he'd start imitating an old British lady off an episode of Monty Python because the main character was British, and he'd continue shooting the dead bodies until they were painted in red or they disappeared.
He kept doing this while screaming in that whiny British voice "WHERE'S THE CREAM FILLING!?", me being an adolescent child, that filled me with laughter.
There were times where he'd force me to play with him, mainly because he had some trouble making friends, and the friends he did have were drug dealers and/or pure trouble. This continued into a downward spiral, until he finally started to get his act together and move on with his life. But I digress.
Very long story short, my Brother passed away a few years back.
Now here I am, years later, and everytime I boot up Perfect Dark once in a great while, I'd go straight to Chicago.
The rain and the music fills me with nostalgia.
And every time I meet that first detective guy, I shoot him until he's painted red all over.
But I always hear in the back of my mind
"WHERE'S THE CREAM FILLING!?"I was playing yoshi's island 2, I think it was the first world and fifth level. I was a purple yoshi and I was jumping over donut lifts; when my grandad came into the room. It was christmas, and me and my brother took deaths in turns because the game was pretty hard if you were seven. While I played, my grandpa sat down on the floor. Not the couch right behind us, on the floor with us. He asked me what we were doing. I remember turning to him. Don't really remember what I said, but I remember his smile.
My brother took a leap of faith to a falling platform, missed and fell. He died; and we were down to our last life.
My brother was dissapointed, he was so close to the finish.
My grandad just shook his head and said "that's the way it works sometimes." He scooped my brother in one arm and me in the other, hugging us both.
About a month later he died of lung cancer.
I discovered about a month after his funeral that he had recieved the diagnosis the day before he came over to my house.
My SNES was old and dusty by this stage; but I took it out from the attic, plugged it in. There were still some save files from when I was a little kid. I erased them, and started a new game.
Eventually; I got to the donut lifts stage. I jumped and ran and dived. At the end; I could see the circle of flowers waiting for me. I jumped into it... and passed the baby on. I had got a perfect score.
But the bonus didn't land on a flower.
I sobbed.
Sometimes that's just the way things work out.
I cannot read that thread without crying. Some of those stories really do touch me.
Wow.... Some of those are.... Powerfull stuff.. I'm not much of a "baww"er myself... But 2+3 were so close to getting me... Really sad stuff.
