The most emotional moment for you in a video game

[Anaklusmos]

In Fallout 3 when I was forced to have an operation I didn't want, I was actually really angry in real life that someone did that to me... to my character, if I was denied the opportunity to shoot the surgeon I don't think I would've settled down for the rest of the day.

I'd say killing the boss in metal gear solid 3, the fact you had to manually pull the trigger makes it so much harder.

That certainly rates very high on my list. Along with losing Agro in Shadow of the Colossus and the destruction of Kharak in Homeworld.

Finishing the mission "Curtains Down" in Hitman: Blood Money with a good stealth rating.

The mission isn't too difficult, but it was hard enough that I couldn't just go in, guns blazing.

I killed the actor who played the Executioner, disguised myself as him, and then waited for the cue to kill the target. Once the deed was done, this started to play:

Hell just broke loose. The second target, comes running over to the dead first target, and I killed him as he was running with a falling chandelier. This was one of the first times in the Hitman series that I moved as slowly as possible, just to take in the music.

This turned this game from a pretty good stealth game to THE stealth game.

MGS3's ending is a heavy thing, MGS4 almost as strong.
But the horse in Peace Walker... I was freaking crying...
EDIT: Oh, and Cole's gf in INfamous.

For me it probably has to be the enitre ending sequence for FF7:Crisis Core.

Sure I knew what was going to happen, but they got the music, the mood and everything just right to get me going.

I want to say when in Fable 3

Spoiler

Walter gets possessed by the Crawler, and you have to kill him. His last words to you made me cry for a better part of the night.

 

[AngloDoom]

The Darkness.

I don't know how, but that game made me fall in love with Jenny. Just sitting there with her watching the TV, while occasional shifts in the camera as she started to get more and more comfortable and fall asleep in your lap...instantly made me want to keep that girl safe and out of harm's way.

Spoiler

And then they fucking killed her and I swore vengeance on everything that so much as stood in the way of me and the bad-guys. Even the Darkness itself. Not a happy AngloDoom.

 

[Kreett]

Spoiler alert? Like at all?

Jesus the game is 7 years old, after a while you don't need to spoiler yourself.

Hey, Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father!

Aww man! You just ruined Star wars for me!

Most Emotional Part? I can't remember the mission, but in Medal of Honor: Airborne, when your airdropping in, a troop says "Hey, what do you get when you cross a Nazi and a Cockroach? A--" Then a bullet pierces the bottom of the plane and goes right through his head.
I paused, set down the controller, sat there in shock for a second, then came to a realization. What was the punchline? The rest of that mission was fueled by anger.

MGS3's ending, though I mean the epilogue where Eva explains everything and he stands over the grave. Fuck that is emotional.

Ninja'd by OP

I guess that makes three of us.
EDIT: Sorry, four of us

It's a tie between Metal Gear Solid 3, the scene in which

Spoiler: There can be room for only one Boss, and one Snake...

Snake finishes off The Boss with a single round from her own Partiot after she encourages him to,

 

[Kapri]

Instead of an "awwwww" moment I'm gonna go with one that made my eyes widen and go "wow" aloud.

The beginning to Bioshock 2 (it helped I started with the second one and not the first for some unbeknownst reason and didn't know what was going on yet. It actually added to the game).

Spoiler

When Lamb tells you to pick up the gun and shoot yourself. Seriously gave me shivers.

 

[phereck]

NIER. Emil.

Boom. So sad, so touching. Great story and game.

Same game
but the wedding death scene, I actually cried at that part
and the ending (ending 1) got me a little

 

[Mister K]

The ending of FFX. Six times I saw it, six times I shed a tear.
Why???!!!! Why couldn't Tidus and Yuna live happily ever after?!!
I must admit, though, this way the ending would not have been as emotional as it is now.

In before comments: FFX-2 NEVER existed. EVER. PERIOD.

I'd say killing the boss in metal gear solid 3, the fact you had to manually pull the trigger makes it so much harder.
Or dom's death in GOW3, I mean the music and the feeling, it was something gears just hadnt pulled off to that point.
Your views?

Thanks for that, OP. Thanks for not spoilering the Gears of War 3 spoiler. It wasn't like I was planning to play that as soon as possible, and at the moment I'm just tight on money. Not at all.

OT: I'm not sure that any game has made me really emotional, to be honest. I guess I felt bad when I made that one guy in Rivet City commit suicide in Fallout 3. I immediately loaded a save, I felt so bad.

Penumbra Overture:

Spoiler

When you have to kill Red. Not only do you kill your only friend in the entire game but now you're even more alone then when the game started.

 

[Theplatypusqueen]

The ending of the first Prince of Persia. The look on the Prince's face when he kisses Farah and then rewinds so she won't remember it kills me to this day.

 

[Pyramid Head]

Incinerating my Companion Cube. Jah that got me...

I kid. It's a toss up between the first time i fought Malus in Shadow of the Colossus after

Spoiler

My horse died getting me to the confrontation in the first place, and by that point it was coming clear that the ritual was corrupting my character and that raising Mono may cost him his life or his soul.

Plus, the music they played added to what was great atmosphere as i felt i was up against the most threatening Colossus who was just toying with me.

Or, it could be the final fight with The Boss and the ending cutscene where the music played and you found out what her real assignment was. I think that was the only time i ever really regretted gunning down a final boss, which is a bit of an accomplishment since most video game bosses are cartoonishly evil and have no real motivation.

The end of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.

Followed by the Trailer for Dead Island.

 

[New Vegas Samurai]

It's a little melodramatic...
But RDR made me tear up. Just the moment when Marston's decision was final, and that all he had was the resolve to walk out that barn and

(SPOILERS ALREADY IMPLIED)

Face army men was enough.

 

[Westaway]

Call of Duty: United Offensive (the last good COD game by the way), first mission of the British/Resistance campaign.

Sitting in a bombers turret (or different ones after a while) and hearing the planes all around you screaming on the radar as they've been shot down and burning/exploding.

Only time I've gotten tears in my eyes from a game.

I object, Call of Duty 4 was the last good CoD. Not that united offensive was bad.
