When was the last time you cried and/or teared up during a video game?

I cried significantly during the endings of Metal Gear Solid 3,Persona 3, Xenosaga 3(long cry the ending last 1 hour or more)and Yakuza.
While I've never cried, I can recall a few times where I have teared up a bit.
Sergeant Johnson's death at the end of Halo 3
Kaiden's death in Mass Effect (well he died the during my first play through, because I went back for Ashley)
Wrex's possible death in Mass Effect (he too died on my first play through, although it did teach me exactly why the charm skill is so important)
There are several moments in other games where I just feel a depressed feeling over the loss of a character, no matter how insignificant they were to the plot. STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl had a lot of these moments:
Returning to the rookie camp at Cordon to find that Wolf had left to go into the zone... and then finding his corpse being crudely cremated by some Loner stalkers in the Warehouse area a few hours later, that struck a cord with me. The list of these goes on.

Mission 3 of the original Homeworld... Adagio for Strings was the single most perfect choice of music I've ever heard in a game... Nothing's ever got to me like that scene. With the picture of Kharak in the background, reduced to a molten glass orb in the stars...
I wish other games were so good they made me tear up. That really sold Homeworld for me, nothing that happened after that put me off the game, no matter what. Even that damned derelict that stole my entire fleet, I still loved the game.

When I realized the cake wasnt a lie and it was wayyy down at the bottom of the lab and i was way up on the top. oh the irony. the next portal should be the mission to save the cake.

I teared u end of Disgaea Hour of Darkness at the end when Flonne died.
I swear, that is the best game ever.

I cried about halfway through the first level of fallout: tactics. That's about the time I realized that the franchise was officially dead.
I felt worse after the end of FF7. Seeing the world saved and ending on that last shot of Aeris, basically right where we started, really hit home.
I saw it coming that someone was going to say they thought ff vii was crap. :/ Yes, a lot of people do like that game.mastersppd said:
My guess is he meant to say the last game before Mass Effect came out, that made him cry, was FF VII.
The ending of CoD4 made my eyes water, and the death of kaiden/ashely made my eyes water a bit. Apart from those two there isn't anything I can remember.
Respectfully, I cannot imagine that one would cry due to a videogame. In frustration at the asinine quality/waste of currency, frustration and etc - Yes.
My FINAL answer is that the gameplay/content of a videogame has never caused me to cry.
(After a moment's thought): OK, OK... like a long-forgotten, newly rediscovered friend, revisiting a game of my yoot and hearing the musical soundtrack might have brought back fond memories of times-gone-by and inspired a tear in my eye. But I haveta say that strictly speaking, this would be a tear of nostalgia, not a tear focused towards the game. Forgive and disregard my initial sentence pls, I guess I CAN imagine someone finding a tear.
