[QUOTE="wasted_wisdom"][QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"]MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Just joking. Half Life 2 Episode 2 and Halo 3 made me very sad when I first saw those "moments". You serious? So now one is gonn'a mention how the end of MGS4? Snake with a pistol in his hand? No one's gonna' mention when he crawled through that place to shut down the system? That burning place? How akiba and Meryl proposed to each other and how they almost got killed fighting frogs? No one's mentioning Raiden and how he almost died? Really? Does this qualify as a spoiler?

I have yet to have played a game that has made me feel sad the same way movies do. The Darkness, Half Life 2: Episode 2, Shadow of the Colossus... I mean, the games have "sad" moments, but have never had any impact on me emotionally. I have never gotten that lump-in-throat feeling, and I have never had to have started wiping my eyes and come up with a lame excuse.
EDIT:
---------SPOILER---------
The closest thing to me being affected emotionally in a game, was when Agro didn't make the jump.
FFX made me pretty sad. I always get sad whenever I play that freakin game. The soundtrack itself really brings out my emotions. And for those of you spewin out spoilers, there's a such thing as a [spoiler] spoiler tag [/spoiler] You can ruin the game for everyone else -.-
Anybody who is over 15 and cries over video games needs to get out more.

Not true. I'm generally an active person, I hang out with friends a lot, but Gears 2 and MGS3 really touched my heart. Well in that case you're hanging out with the wrong people.

An impressive show of comic skills.
No game ever made me cry, as far as I can remember.

So because my friends are apparently "wrong" and I'm not some cold hearted jerk, I'm wrong? Tell me, who are the right friends? Douche-baggey, emotionless morons who have like lots of underage sex and light beer? Or my friends, the ones that have always been there for me, and ones I've had so many good times with. I suppose you laughed during Pixar's Up during the beginning while everybody else was in the theater was crying.

I had nightmares about being trapped in that hallway... Sure the game can get cheesy sometimes, but when it needs to be well-done, Kojima really hits you hard.

What's wrong with laughing when others cry?
...Strange, that came off to me as somewhat satanic. Let me get this straight: You laugh, LAUGH when you're surrounded by people distraught with emotion during a scene in a movie where a man's soul mate dies and he's completely lonely for the rest of his life. Haha, really funny. Do you like laughing at starving children with AIDs in Africa?

Dragon Age Origins can be very touching and sad depending on some decisions you make near the end of the game. I won't get into the details but if you've finished it, you know what I mean.
The first time I talked to Vigil in Mass Effect was very emotional

Actualy,now that you mention it,all that talk about him turning off life suport for non essential personel, leading only to a few scientists surviving out of millions of protheans was kind of sad.
Never felt sad in a video game. The main character having an emotionless presence in-game kills my 'sad' or 'angry' emotions in a game. Whenever an indie game does it, I can't help but feel they were doing it just to be clever ordo what the big boys aren't doing.
Ican't feel for characters who are on one hand caring in a passive cutscene moment,and the next they're no different to Marcus Fenix.
Oh hell, almost none. Writing and characterization in video games is such garbage that whenever pathos is attempted, it falls flat because I can't bring myself to care about the characters.
Only 2 come to mind:
The title screen of Ocarina of Time, especially after you've beat the game for the first time. Notice that this is because of the music and my memories of how good the game was, not anything story-related.
The good ending of Persona 4, one of the only games I've ever played (...yeah, I'll go with "played") with really good characters and writing.
The near ending of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. When [spoiler] Farrah dies. I may have been personally annoyed by her, but damn was it sad seeing the Princes love affair die. [/spoiler]
[QUOTE="Messiahbolical-"]Auron dying + Tidus fades away at the end Definitely a bittersweet ending. Hmm yess when you find out that Tidus is what he is and how it ends! Yeah that was pretty much evil man i was like oh god MUM MUM computer game make me CRY :(
