For me, I cannot listen to this song without a single tear shedding from my eye.

What gaming related things, either music or cutscenes or fiction or what have you, actually brought you to tears?

The closest I've come - and it was damn close - was the first time I beat Terranigma, that gem of a game, and watched the ending.

Powerful stuff.

This scene from Okami.  Issun, you genius... 

This scene from Touhou Mother.  It was made more heart rending at the turnaround once THIS started playing on my computer.  I ended up in damn tears

The games that really got me emotionally driven were Persona 4, and...Mario Kart 64's Rainbow Road. :V The song was beautiful. As for P4, it's very easy to get connected to the cast, especially Nanako. :3c Anyone who's played
Spoiler:
the Heaven dungeon
and saw the resulting scene afterwards knows what I mean. :ohdear:

The closest I came to crying while playing a game was when playing touhou because :trumpettiming:.
Other than that I'm generally apathetic towards "touching" vydia plots and the like.

A certain character being killed in MGS4, (didn't play the game but watched all the cutscenes, theres actually so much of them it plays suprisingly well as a movie lol)

PCB, since that end is just so damned good. I haven't played it in ages though now. It probably wont have the same spark and feeling it had back then. Find that one strangely immersive, though.

The endings of both Klonoa games.

The first one especially, but the second warranted a few tears as well. (The second one starts at about 2:50.) (Spoiler, obviously.)

I also cried at that scene from Touhou Mother.

Possibly because I was so young back then, but the ending to Link's Awakening.  :ohdear:

This is rather standard, but the last fights of both Earthbound and Mother 3.
I didn't really cry, more like shed a few tears, but still.

Can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but there probably are more.

I shed a tear while playing Spiral Knights. Call me if you find a game you'd more unlikely cry over.

...wait, does crying when I accidentally erased my almost finished Chrono Trigger save count?  :derp:

Got the other ending here, didn't give much thought about it.

I've shed a few tears to some background music for being just too fantastic, but as for actual game events, not really....

.Hack//G.U. did it to me.  I got really, really attached to

Alkaid
and than that happened about halfway though the second disk.  And she was gone until like three dungeons before the end.  But worst of all, it meant Atoli was the main female character and I hated her.

Also Emotion from Pokemon Black/White.

In Bioshock,

the part where you see where the Little Sisters live
broke my heart. Also, Fallout 3's ending.

The end of narcissu. I had a friend who was in a similar situation and it was then did I know how he felt.
It repeats the same melody and crescendos gradually, peacefully, and beautifully. It would be nice if life changed like that; slowly but surely, while being seemingly unchanged from day to day.

It's weird, because I can't think of many on my own, from the top of my head, but:

Also Emotion from Pokemon Black/White.

I shall counter with this: possible spoilers if you haven't played it yet

Just this song alone.(Possible Mother3 spoilers)

Oh god, this. As much as I greatly prefer Mother 2 in every way, Mother 3 had its ways with tearing heartstrings out of your chest. ;_;

StB scene 10-2. ;_;

Oh, you mean emotionally? Umm...I can't think of any game that made me cry from what happened, but I do remember crying when I accidentally saved over my Pokemon Red save game when I was little. >.> I dunno, fiction rarely seems to be able to make me cry no matter how sad it is.
nintendonut888: Hey Baity. I beat the high score for Sanae B hard on the score.dat you sent me. X3
Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

Suikoden V ending. Holy shit I am glad I finished it with all 108 stars.

ICO ending as well. Just a beautiful game all round.

Klonoa's been mentioned already.

Persona 4 has already been mentioned, though what made me cry wasn't
Spoiler:
Nanako's death
or the Heaven Dungeon...
Spoiler:
Okay, so Bad Ending 1 made me cry because of Nanako's definitive death. But whatever.
what really made me cry was The Heaven Dungeon's Song because I connected so much to these lyrics at the time  ;_;

Though Persona 3's ending made me cry like a baby. Don't ask me why, but it did... And Bioshock 2's Good Ending,
Spoiler:
Oh God Eleanor's Lullaby  :ohdear:
