Homeworld, launching of the mothership.

Homeworld, coming back to Kharak after the outer-system jump.

Fallout in general, once it dawned on me that I was looking at the ruins of the United States of America, and the backstory that explained that it utterly failed.

Fallout 3, "There Will Come Soft Rains".

Fallout New Vegas, Veronica's questline if you convince her to join up with the Followers.

Once: when I was ten, I teared up a bit during the ending cinematic of the first Call Of Duty game. Don't judge me.

It was a pretty touching scene.

Unless tears of frustration count, no.

I forgot one thing. Add Radiant Historia's ending (regular, not best) to the list of things that caused more than just eye-watering.

Actually I think I never cried during a Videogame. I think the closer experience to cry it was the end of Metal Gear Solid 3 , I almost shed a tear.

I cried over Cave Johnson's backstory. Also, chapter five in general made me all sad. Going to play 5 and then 9 immediately after and see how I feel. The worst was Planetfall. The sequel especially. Infocom was an absolute monster when it came to those two games. FLOYD!! WHY?! D':

Mother 3; more or less for Flint in the first chapter. Because..damn.

Also, Fallout 3. Despite being criticized for linearity, the end with the picture of the Wanderer and James gets me.

The Mass Effect games hit me a few times. Especially the end of Tuchanka. "I am the very model. . . ." Son of a bitch, that's a tough moment.

Last year, I played through Earth Bound again. It's a fun, silly game. I reached the end, and I felt fine. Disappointed that it was over, but hey, I saved the whole gorram world. So I do some quick touring before taking Skye home. And then the cast of characters is shown. Aww, I won't see them again (until I play the game again, obviously). OK, but the music's fun and bouncy, and credits are amusing, so I'm still good.

And then, this frigging song plays. Oh, no you don't. I'm not going to cry, you little bastards. It's a great tune, designed to make you cry, but it's still a shitty little 16-bit file, and I'll hold it together.

"I'll miss you."

You sons of bitches! You made me cry, you bastards! Are you happy? Are you proud of yourselves for making a 26-year-old man cry? Damn you! Damn you to not heaven!

So, yeah, Earth Bound's end credits music made me cry.

I cried tears of frustration over the old space cadet pinball on Windows 95 back in the day. Also when my mom got mad at me for playing too much Sim City 2000 and made me break the CD as punishment. She bought me a replacement eventually but back then, it traumatised me man.

I cried at the end of Crisis Core, even though I knew it was coming. 358/2 Days made me too angry to cry, though.

I cried tears of joy and sadness at the end of Journey, especially when I learned what the lyrics to the ending song mean. "Do not pity me...I was born for this."

I cried over everything that happened in regards to the studios behind Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It may sound silly, but I went through the 5 stages of grief all in one afternoon drive home from school.

i started crying during tales of the abyss when ion died and how heartbroken anise was, and then again when florian showed up. it didn't help that talesofanswers on tumblr answered a question for anise, saying that she didn't recover after he died. and tales of graces f ending 1 where the party couldn't destroy lambda after all and sophie said she had to use her self-destruct function, but i really started crying when she said "being with you all has made me happier than you know." all the shin megami tensei games have made me cry at one point or another as well.

I think Ace Combat 5 was the first game I've ever played that made me cry, and my first console was the SNES.

There's just something about the whole "heroes vanish into legend" ending that gets me. I don't know why, but But Now I Must Go always gets me a bit more than The Hero Dies, at least when the former is with the implication that the hero is retiring than simply moving elsewhere. I guess it has more of a sense of finality to it, ironically enough. Plus there's that visual of the dog howling at the sky, and the song that plays afterward. That song...

Felt depressed at times when playing a video game? Yes. Crying? AHAHAHA no.

I don't really play video games for the story, and don't really pay attention to it, cause I can read a book or watch a movie for story. But I'm surprised that out of all the games that managed to sucker punch me, Half Minute Hero was one of them, considering that a majority of the quests are just excuse plots. Oh god, Cursed Hero was really depressing.

I remember nearly crying at the end of Pokemon Emerald. Goddamn that was some beautiful credits music. Drawn to Life nearly had me in tears also, for pretty much the same reason but... different.

When have I actually cried? Professor Layton And The Lost Future. Goddamnit, Claire, look at what you did to the Professor! He took off his hat and everything... ;_;

The ending of Professor Layton and Pandora's Box, Axel's death in Kingdom Hearts II, the original Fire Emblem (that is, the first international one on GBA), and possibly some other games that don't immediately come to mind all made me depressed and slightly teary eyed, though I can't remember if a game ever made me cry. o_O;

The ending of Super Mario Galaxy.

I mean, the music, the things happening...

Modern Warfare, despite it's flaws, can make me feel depressed at times. It was pretty good at making me emphatise. I do remember one part in Modern Warfare 2 and a dead guy has the elevator doors closing on his head over and over again. Was tempted to find a way to stop that happening.
Of course, when I saw it happen in the Battlefield 3 campaign, I had to pause to laugh.

The only game to make me cry tears was the first time I reached the end of Planescaoe Torment and realized just what TNO's choices were.

But Life Line came pretty damn close with tears of pure frustration and anger.
