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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Only thing that comes to mind is the ending of half life 2 episode 2. Everything is going fine, there's restored hope for the human race, and then BAM you have to helplessly watch Eli getting killed by an Advicor. I felt so sad for alyx... How it slowly fades to credits to the sound of Alyxs crying was a pretty powerful ending.
The end of Silent Hill 2... It was the only thing I ever seen or heard in video game history that ever made me cry.
The amount of sorrow you hear in Mary's voice as her full letter is being read... followed after all of the things you had to go through... I broke down, I refuse to think there is anything more deeply profound than this. I loved that scene with all of my heart.
Every sacrifice, or apparent sacrifice, in Final fantasy 4... It really gave the impression that your band of heroes were willing to give absolutely everything in order to stop Golbez, be it for revenge or the fate of the world...
But if I had to pick one it would have to be (Tellah storyline Spoilers ahoy gentlemen)when Tellah finally cast meteor... That was a huge moment in my opinion.

Anyway, if we're not just talking emotional responses as in the kind that makes you feel sad, I'd say any game (mostly one with a first person perspective) where a situation happens to arise where for whatever reason I end up running with the enemy audibly giving chase behind me. Not much else freaks me out more in a videogame.
Be it running from the Gargantua in Half Life when you need to fry it using the two giant tesla coils or more recently in Skyrim when I was running for it out of some Dwemer ruins and I could hear one of those brutal Dwarven constructs clattering along behind me. Horrendous!
Also, going way back, the final moments of the game Outcast had me feeling two conflicting emotions within the space of about 5 minutes of each other. First, I was gutted at the death of one of the principal characters and then moments later I was in knots at this ridiculous sequences of a bunch of the game characters dancing in the middle of this combat arena. Way to lighten the mood!
I was pretty emotional when Ezio met Altair(sort of) in AC:R and because of what happens in Assassins Creed:Embers. The end for two amazing characters, especially Ezio(probably cause I got to control him in 3 games).
slightly off topic: I'm a little miffed about every post being depressing, emotional doesn't instantly mean depressing or sad.
For me it would be fighting henry in no more heroes. Not the ending or the lead up to it just the fight with henry. I was so angry that this jerk, this total foil to travis who only showed up now for the second time is mocking me and beating my ass. Every time I suplexed him joy and relief rushed through me and every dark step was fueled by adrenaline. I was almost disappointed I beat him since it meant the end of the fight. And of course
Stepping aboard the Normandy after thwarting the Reapers, Collectors and Cerberus while keeping my crew alive brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes.
Sitting in my underwear at four in the morning, slightly sloshed, nodding at my tv...I mean crew with tears in my eyes is one of my greatest gaming moments.
