When was the last time you teared up in a game?

efiance the ending made me tear up a little bit.
Mass Effect.
Modern Warfare 2.
When I had to pick between Ashley and Kaidan.
Modern Warfare 2.
When Roach and Ghost die. Yes, I know, I know. But I've found myself quite attached to the characters and their witty radio chatting. I really teared up the they died.
This. Having autistic kids really rammed it home too, I seriously wanted a "100 Ways To Murder Archer" minigame to follow.Drakulea said:
I had RDR spoiled for me but rather than surprise, the closing episodes were laced with nervous anticipation. While I would have preferred to go in cold, it was still effective. The song for his ride home was an unexpectedly touching as well, a nice Firefly-ish touch
(We get this topic pretty often. Just sayin'...)
Anyway, while plenty of games have taken a good ol' tug on my heartstrings, the only two have ever managed to elicit a moistening of the eyeballs
One was the ending to Ico. The part involving the row boat.
The other was the 'I remember Me' side mission in Mass Effect 1.

The ending of Braid moved me (the actual gameplay ending, not the weird text logs)
And the ending of Half Life 2, ep 2.

I get what you mean! I didn't tear up, but I thought it was so lovely and unexpected. It's sad they only did it once, but at the same time if they put unexpected music in regularly it'd have much less effect.IzisviAziria said:
I'm not sure if I've ever teared up at a game, not that I'm an unemotional person (tv shows make me tear up and cry rather often) but there hasn't been a game to make me actually tear up. Been emotional a few times though. A few of them were in Red Dead Redemption actually - the side missions were pretty deep sometimes. When that guy, Sam I think, dies and you have to deliver his letter was quite sad, and when that man kills the woman who you helped save earlier (it's in Mexico, you take her to the convent and find out the man came and took her) that upset me a bit, I was a bit "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KILL HER?" but I didn't tear up.
An emotional bit in Modern Warfare.
So yeah, the woman you put in the helicopter at the beginning, you just risked an extra few minutes in the city to save her life. You probably regret that. Walking/crawling around as your character dieing of radiation poisoning, is rather... harrowing.

I think in this youtube video the sound is just a tiny bit out of sync, but oh well.

I have honestly never teared up in a game, although i have been immersed and felt emotionally attached to characters I never cried. Although the closest I have probably come would have been over the game Tale Concerto way back in PS1 days.
