Has a video game ever made you shed a tear?

[darthmunky]

I think my eyes watered in Halo: Reach but not a legit tear.

I'm very moved about World of warcraft .

Bastion spoilers... this will ruin the best part of the game, don't watch this if you haven't played it!

THAT nearly had me in tears. I felt a lump in my throat for sure.

Never cried because of a game.

Nor I, but both Final Fantasy IV and Terra's Theme from Final Fantasy VI made me really despondent. I think Legend of Dragoon had a few compelling moments, although I haven't played it in a decade.

FFVII - Aerith's death
ICO - just after the credits finished
Shadow of the Colossus - just before the final Colosi

I love it when a game can tug at your heartstrings

I love it when a game can tug at your heartstrings

Agreed.

I got misty during the demise of every single colossus, to be honest. The swelling strings and choral music really affected me. 90% of the time it's the soundtrack that cuts through me in video games, movies, whatever.

In Final Fantasy VI, Daryl's Epitaph and Cyan's family... guhh. I just watched them again on YouTube and they still hurt!

I remember being pretty moved by Gamma's ending in Sonic Adventure, too.

The scene with the computer named Vigil on Ilos in Mass Effect, who describes the Prothean demise, is another powerful one. And although I've never been able to choose the Renegade action against the Rachni Queen, I watched the clip on YouTube and it made me shed a tear for her.

By the way, all you sensitive guys rock. Stay just the way you are.

I've always been sensitive and I'll stay that way, I'm a bit shocked at all the guys here that claim "I'M STRONG MEN DON'T CRY" .

I cry VERY easily from almost anything, happy or sad. This happens for real life stuff and also movies, TV, games, etc.

Now when it comes to games, story is generally pretty weak. Also, I don't really care about story in games anyway.

That said, I was crying a lot from the sad stories in the Ouendan and Elite Beat Agents games. Those of you who played those games will know what I'm talking about. In each game, there is one sad story. It always got to me, even the fucking American one. Not only did the opening story make me cry, but I was crying even more during the songs themselves.

MGS4 Ending made me cry, Mass Effect when you have to pick which crew member dies made me a bit depressed for a bit afterwards.
