Any video games that moved you emotionally or saddened you?

I would have to say Final Fantasy VII was one of the tops that saddened me when ariesth died.
Descended Chuck Norris. Who delivered a kick, which could shattered bones. Into the crotch of Indiana Jones, who fell to the floor, writing in pain, as Batman changed back to Bruce Wayne. But Chuck saw through, through his clever disguise, so he bust Batman's head, in between his thighs.. :shock:

Final Fantasy X, the ending... the music... the story... all of it.
The only game to ever make me shed a tear or 100.
Aerith... or Aeris...
I was really depressed when I realised my brother had dropped my original Gameboy in the toilet trying to play Faceball 2000 whilst taking a leak. (I kid you not)
although i wasn't sad acuttly i laughed when Merryll got shot in mgs, whore deserved it. XD
Then I played Crisis Core: FFVII.
The way the game integrates an actual important gameplay element (the D.M.W. system) into telling the storyline made me actually sit up and pay real close attention to the final ending sequence. Also the last fully pre-rendered FMV was completely awesome, even by Square Enix standards.
Also, despite the nature of the ending, the music was by no means sad or despondent; in fact, it was actually kind of cheerful and yet it fit so fucking well that I still remember the events of the sequence vividly, clear as crystal everytime it shuffles to it on my foobar playlist. No other game/movie I've played or watched has ever as brilliantly orchestrated a denouement as this game had imho.
I really pity those who haven't gotten to play it yet because it really is that awesome. And it's on a PSP, a (relatively) unloved console.

Also, I felt kind of bad for Garcian at the end of Killer7.
Shadow of the Colossus - all of it.
Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call - The whole setting and the role you play, coupled with well-written dialogue and a sense of real impact on the world's future, create a powerful and memorable experience.
Ookami.
This.
Also, Shadow of the Colossus. Agro
And FFX's ending was pretty sad also.
Oh yeah, the Meryl dies thing in MGS, which has been rendered non-canon now.
Probably more I'm forgetting.

How could you not like Okami?
Actually it's probably best if you don't explain

Yeah I posted that in another thread yesterday. Quite possibly my favorite moment in any game, ever.
But another game that got me emotional: WoW. Now I know you'd be like "WTF?!1!" but hear me out. My girlfriend started to play the game, and made it to Stranglethorn Vale. I warned her about PVP and stuff, but she went there anyway. I was running from Darkshire to the Hunter's Camp to meet up with her on my mount. As soon as I got there I saw her running towards me with 3 Horde attacking her... And she fell to the ground. I immediately dismount and proceeded to whoop the living shit out of them while they were /spitting on her corpse and laughing. I spent about 45 minutes camping their corpses, all the while laughing and dancing on them.
I've never got so angry in a video game before. :P
Max Payne (2)
Shadow of the Collosus
Many other things have subtly moved me but those are the top ones.

I haven't played The Darkness, but I think I have to rent it now after reading that spoiler.
Tassadar's death in Starcraft. To a lesser extent, the human general who kills himself.
Max Payne had a good ending, although if I played it again the bad writing might ruin it for me (I replayed the sequel, and it's definately something that affects you much more when you don't realize how overdone the writing is).

It was full of happiness and flowers. Every time the whole land bloomed with colour? I cried tears of joy.
Also, you have not seen the final sequence.
By the way, you just gave me an idea for my future essay. Thanks!
Might not be nearly as emotional now that you see it coming. When I saw it, I just sat there like
I cried to see Peach get kidnapped yet again.
LEAVE PEACH ALONE!!! She is a HUMAN!!!
I also agree with this. One of the few times I've genuinely felt that way towards a game.
MAX PAYNE SECOND DREAM SEQUENCE SPOILER:
https://medium.com/@alascii
When Celes (read, ME) couldn''t keep Cid alive, and realizes she may be the only person left alive on the planet, decides to try and end her life. Sad, melancholy stuff.
But...
Anyhow, the most emotional games I've played were probably PoP: Sands of Time, which is one of the most well plotted games ever.
And in Windwaker. I been pissing around loads just sailing for fun* and doing side quests, but when
Bollocks to the kiddy bollocks, it was one of the only games where characters had readable, and believable emotions.
* fuck you sail haters.
P.S. Poll thread.
2009 is a year of Updates - one every Monday. Hopefully. xx
I concur. Fantastic ending, leaves me choked up every time. I wish Metal Gear Solid 3 existed as a novel so that I could share it with my friends who don't care to play or watch a videogame for fifteen hours, it's a great story that is unfortunatly restricted to an often overlooked medium.
And while it didn't make me feel genuinely sad, in BioShock
Easy to the point of trivial gameplay combined with RIDICULOUS hand holding make a game that a retarded spider monkey could play and probably complete without thinking too hard.
Boring uninteractive environments that pretty much have no character outside of LOOK TREES AND BLOOMING AND SHIT!!! I mean its just grass and shit, there is basically nothing to do. If you want an example of a beautiful area in an adventure game, go to Windfall Island. Actually I take that back, the beginning town and the main city were very beautiful, but everything else was boring. Also it was about half as interactive as the zelda game it tried to be. And twice as easy.
Also its one of the worst examples of the japano problem
"We need to go the city!"
"To the city?"
"Yes to the city!"
"How do we get to the city?"
"You want to get to know how to get to the city?"
LET ME DIE

I also became somewhat emotional in Final Fantasy 6 in the world of ruin. When I first played that, when I was like 10 years old, I actually thought everyone might have died, and it was a whole new world that was much less linear. Celes trying to jump the cliff... Cid dying (my first playthrough)... Terra having given up... It was all so deppressing. I actually hated Kefka as an avatar as everything bad, and wrong in our real life world.

Also, Max Payne 2's ending (and most of the game) is a thing of beauty. Didn't make me cry, but goddamn. That was a very emotionally charged game, to me.
