Have you ever cried over a game?

I've never actually cried over a game, but I got wibbly at the end of Metal Gear Solid 3, and at the end of the Tuchanka and Rannoch missions in Mass Effect 3. The first two of those also earned a salute.

The perfect run in SMG 2. It was a hot summer day, and boy, that didn't help.

Yes I did. It was in Fire Emblem Blazing Sword when Ninian died

It's not so much physical crying, but the battle against Kanonno, even its prelude and aftermath in Tales Of The World had my heart cry out.

Several.

Okami and Okamiden, Asuras Wrath, all the MOTHER games...

Several others, too, those are the ones that made me cry the most, though.

Yeah, me, with no concept of perspective or anything, might have cried over The Alpha series Final Bison. Maybe not but I did come across badly scribbled drawings of his mutilated corpse once.

I know I cried over Mario Kart 64 though, because the controller wasn't working and everyone laughed at me for sucking at the game. That still happens today, I just don't cry over it anymore. I still can't beat Final Bison either but I don't care anymore, I've found better games.

I cried over Haze. Tears of laughter. Some scenes are so narmy I nearly choked from laughing.

Several other cases like that happened, but Haze's big bad dying scene nearly killed me.

I guess I shed a single tear of rage over Dark Souls ' Seath bossfight.

Dragons Dogma 's last scene with my main pawn nearly wetted my eyes. I got attached to my dwarf pawn.

Tears of laughter? Oh man...Shenmue 2's dubs, Sonic Adventure cutscenes, and the X-men arcade beat em up. I just totally lost it at Magneto. I seriously had to put the controller down for like 20 seconds because I was laughing so hard.

Games I've played made me experience a wide array of emotions but crying? Never happened. Don't know why.

Out of frustration, plenty of times as a kid. I remember poignantly a time when I went through a bunch of difficult crap in Dynasty Warriors 4 (back when the series knew challenge) to unlock a character, and after I had done it all to perfection, the character still didn't unlock. I was so frustrated I bawled manly child tears.

Then I kept playing and found out you didn't unlock him until you finished the entire Musou mode.

Out of sadness, not a lot, the most recent time was playing Chrono Trigger. Mostly at the scenes involving Frog and/or either of these tracks. And a little after beating it, because I wanted more. A lot more.

That's probably the most emotional a game has ever gotten me, and I appreciate it.

No, not really. I've come close to choking and my eyes watered at several particularly powerful scenes. But that's about it, no actual crying as far as I recall.

My eyes have watered enough times that I've lost count. That happens to me very easily. If a game is good enough, it's almost guaranteed to happen at least once.

Actual crying, though? Not as common. The only ones I can remember off the top of my head are the end of Kingdom Hearts: Days and the end of Final Fantasy IX. The latter ended up as happy tears by the time I was done. Days, though, had me crying through the credits.

I might have cried for one or two other games, but I can't think of them right now.

Nope.

I'm not the type of person who cries a lot, but certain games have occasionally made me tear up a bit, like, for example, the endings of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Phantom Hourglass, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy XIII. In the case of IX and XIII, the ending themes kinda made the whole thing all the more emotional for me, I guess. xD

I just began Kingdom Hearts Coded, as my old file disappeared. The opening alone, with all the memories from Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, plus the subtle nods to Chain of Memories and Days' heart-rending story and ending, was enough to draw a couple of tears from me.

Tears of frustration and sadness over Donkey Kong Country when I was very young.

The frustration came from losing all my lives in that danged Snow Barrel Canyon stage, and the sadness came from the music that plays on the Game Over screen (the fact that I had not saved since the beginning of World 2 made things worse).

Never really cried over actual Tear Jerkers, though.

My 1980s teenaged self might have squeezed out one or two frustrated tears after the dozenth late-night death playing the original Zelda ... but I was so tired and punchy, it's hard to remember clearly.

And about ten years back I almost had a moment after getting the good ending for Myst 3, but managed to get a grip.

Minecraft.

Example:

"Lala, oh, i just relized I forgot a few torches. Let me-"

SSSSSS-

BOOM!

Game Over You Died!

Title Screen

The ending of Final Fantasy X.

There must have been other times when I was a kid, but the only one I remember for sure is the ending of Secret Of Mana, when the sprite fades away, so that the human characters will never be able to see him/her again.

I remember a few years ago my mom teased me about it, remembering that I had cried at the end of a video game, and then I explained to her why it made me so sad (really, fading away so that you can still see and touch the world but nobody you knew or loved can ever see you again is much more heartbreaking than just dying,) and it made her cry.

When I was a wee child, the non-final final boss of Sonic Heroes (Egg Emperor) drew me to tears of frustration. I eventually prevailed, and a glorious day it was.

As for Tear Jerker moments, the true endings of Persona 3 and, oh boy, Persona 4 had me bawling.

The end of Bastion nearly got me. Play it immediately.

If cried at the ending of Ōkamiden. I knew the ending was coming because I'd spoiled myself, but it was just so sad that I bawled my eyes out. And then, just when I got a grip on myself Kurow joined Chibi in the scene with all the party members and I just let loose again.

On the other hand, I nearly cried tears of frustration in Kid Icarus: Uprising over the final boss's fourth form. And Cynthia's Garmchomp in Pokemon Pearl and Platinum.

Well, I haven't cried per se, but I know I have wept a little bit at the end of Metal Gear Solid 3 (the 3DS-version, for those who want to know). :'(

Pokemon can be so damn frustrating. CRITICAL HIT! CRITICAL HIT! ____ HURT ITSELF IN ITS CONFUSION! ____ FLINCHED! ____ FLINCHED! ____ IS IMMOBILIZED BY LOVE! ____ IS PARALYZED AND IS UNABLE TO MOVE! CRITICAL HIT! ____ FAINTED! PLAYER IS OUT OF POKEMON! PLAYER WHITED/BLACKED OUT!

There are times where even today I'm still screaming at my gameboy(more in disbelief than pure RAAAAGE or tears though) because the RNG decides to just be a dick and have me get crit 3 times straight or have a crucial move miss so I lose.
