For sorrow and regret it was going dark side in KOTOR. Eventually you get forced into either killing Mission or going light side. Mission was my favorite character and I think I paused at that dialog choice for like 5 minutes before deciding on which one I would do. KOTOR was the first RPG I ever played that had such a huge amount of selectable dialog and cutscenes and a lot of the stuff in that game still sticks with me and best ever due to nostalgia.

Tough one. Either the ending to Red Dead Redemption, the In Water ending to Silent Hill 2, the end to the final fight with The Boss in MGS3 or pretty much the entirety of the Fortress of Regrets in Planescape: Torment.

Spoilers ahead.

It's a tie between John Mastron's death, nearly wanted to cry and Saskia in the Witcher 2. Her speeches filled me with this... patriotism towards a place that doesn't even exist.

Sadness.

Lost Odyssey:The funeral, and every dream.

ME1: The "I remember me "mission with the background of a colonist.

MGS3: The ending.....

Horror:

DA1: Hearing the brood queen ryme the first time.

DA2: It have one statement that can describe this feeling from the ending of this game. It's is mixer with disappointment, saddens, anger, and dread....

...... God damn it , Anders......Why!!!?????

Fallout 3:The ending of the Pit. Knowing that I had to damn a group of people to save them....

Fear:

Dead Space.....I could not walk out at night easily when I was playing this game.

Rage:

Old Snake vs Liquid Ocelot was quite an experience, definitely emotional as far as Im concerned. The music, the whole fight scene and the talk between the two. I have to admit, I did shed a tear...

Shadow of the Colossus...the cutscene before the final boss. :(mrmusicman247

Right there with you buddy, that scene got to me a lot. Now I feel sad...

The part in Shenmue 2 when you find out where the name Shenmue comes from; it os absolutely most beautiful moment in a video game I've ever seen.

Metroid Prime 1. I was filled with happiness because I just beat that epic game, but also sadness because it was over.

Final Fantasy X, MGS3 and SotC all left a slight emotional impact on me. The games stayed on my mind for weeks after completion.

Wiimotefan

Good call on FFX.

I'm racking my brain because I know there have been moments in gaming that really did get to me but over the recent years I've become so god awful jaded towards my favorite hobby my emotions have become a dull monotone.

I recall Shenmue getting to me a time or two, but that was a decade ago I played the game. Hard to recall.

You should probably tell everyone what the spoiler refers to. Otherwise everyone is going to click it out of extreme curiosity or avoid it all together. I had my fingers crossed hoping that you didn't find LA Noire too emotional. :P

You know it's too bad they really had a chance to do something off the wall to make that a much more emotional experience. They totally coped-out at the end though when happy days started shining again! If that was me in Sazh's shoes Vanille wouldn't be prancing around for long. More games and RPG's need to once in a while make the game say "Man you thought being on the run sucked? Well someone just got dead!"

The emotional moments in the fire emblem series, where my blunder costs a unit their life aside, I have to go with a DS game. The World Ends With You to be precise. the ending where... [spoiler] Neku learns that Joshua used him to play his game for the fate of Shibuya. then to screw with him, they have a dual and Neku finds himself unable to shoot Joshua. Neku then wakes up alive in the place where he began the game [/spoiler]

It would have been awesome. Especially if it was Hope instead of Sahz. I liked Sahz. lol

Knights of the Old Republic had a lot of good ones.

Knights of the Old Republic II also. There were some great characters such as Kreia, Sion, Atton, Hanharr and of course, the Disciple.

Dragon Age: Origins had those too. When nearing the final battle especially so.

And there's also Mass Effect...

Yeah even Hope had a good area to go all dark on us. Would have been epicly ironic considering he got Alexander as a summon.

There were some emotional scenes in Nier, particularly those involving a certain character that isn't part of your party towards the end of the game, especially in the second playthrough.

Except for Leliana Song and Nature of the Beast, there is no well done emotion in DAO....the orphange quest fell flat at the end as well. DA2 had [spoiler] death of Hawke's mom and siblings, Merills entire story thread, and the murder of the Viscount's son [/spoiler] . Then there is Bethany's VA performance at the end...wow. DA2 is a stronger story regradless....DAO is just LOTR with gore, nothing more everything less.

Final Fantasy 3 (VI) Opera scene.....first and most emotional scene to affect me.
My 2nd would be legend of legaia the day after scene in rim elm...just amazing they did far more from an emotional standpoint with their textures and characters then we ever saw in FF7 (i'm comparing cause people are all ff7 was so emotional yet Cloud doesn't cry once via textures or CGI)

The only game I can think of that emotionally impacted me before is FFX

Lost Odyssey, first dream sequence. It's just so sad...baaaaaaaw. The music and text always gets me.
