    Only MGS3 and MGS4 have done it to me.

    SPOILERS AHEAD

    The end of MGS3 where Big Boss learns about what The Boss did and salutes her at the cemetery made me cry.

    The final fight in MGS4 where Snake and Liquid fought. It was really graphically brutal, and I couldn't bear to see Snake get mauled like that. And this was before you actually got to play!

    Some games have moments that are kinda sad.

    *SPOILER*

    Like in Halo 3 when sarge dies. but nothing that has made me cry or anything like that.

    Yes, but not for the usual reason. There have been a few instances when I kept replaying the same difficult part, and then finally, barely scraped past it, only to die again before the next checkpoint or whatever, and have to go back and re-do to the difficult part again. Situations like that have made me cry... or at least, cry out.

    I've been moved by games but I've never cried during one, I can't come up with one off the top of my head but I know that it's happened.

    I am an emotional train wreck when it comes to game stories. I get into them. Sue me.

    Tear jerker moments:

    1. FF7 - duh
    2. Halo 3's full, past credits and all ending - I bawled like a baby
    3. Zack and Wiki's ending (teared up, if you haven't played it, shut up)
    4. MGS 1 and 2 moved me, but no tears...those composers are damn good

    There's 2 or 3 others from further back, but for the life of me I can not remember.

    I got REAL worked up thanks to CoD4. The Midpoint shocker as well as the ending. Hell that whole last level was paced so damn well that I was experiencing the excitement and my adrenaline was pumping as I was trying to get away.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    That was a good ending. I definitely wasn't expecting that to happen.

    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time also had a touching ending, especially when Princess Zelda took the ocarina from Link and sent him back in time to be a child again.

    Same here. Especially the beginning of where they kill his dad. Also the beginning of Shenmue II when he's on the ship, heading to Hong Kong.

    Oh yeah, and Lan Di will pay!!!!!!!

    When I was like 6 and would replay a hard part over and over and never won, I'd get frustrated and cry. My mother would be like "ok thats enough, shut it off."

    Other than that I never cried because of a storyline or anything like that. I did feel some form of emotions when reading some of the flashbacks in Lost Oddysey. Other than that, I never really got too emotionally involved in any games story line. RPGs, I'd say, would probably have the most affect on people due to its story driven nature.

    The first time I beat Ninja Gaiden for the NES I went on my hands and knees, thanked God and cried like a woman.

    Videogames never made me cry although I played a lot of RPGs. Probably it is my age. The older you get life pokes a lot of holes in your heart. 'Emotional' game situations pale in comparison to real life problems and sufferings.

    Videogames are still more about challenges than emotinal identification with the story. Movies and novels make me cry sometimes.

    mostly just in anger when I was younger and would fail. I have felt moved (even near to tears) by games before
