Tearjerking moments in video games

Wow...this thread is one year old now, and it STILL gets responses?

Heh, once in a while, I do *something* right. ^_^

And to keep this valid, yes, I have a recent moment from a video game I've played which got me teary-eyed. It's the opening cinematic of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Initially it didn't have an effect on me, but the 7th time I sat through this intro, I finally took to time to seriously listen to the words spoken by Old Snake, and they...they really got to me. And as for the carnage that takes place in the middle of and after his internal soliloquy, it makes what Meryl said in the first MGS game so true:

"War is ugly. There's nothing glamorous about it."

Nothing else needs to be said.

I'm glad somebody else is touched by the beginning of MGS4.
I took several viewings before it hit me, but once it did it made me get a little teary-eyed ^^;

I guess no one has EVER felt sad looking at the "Game Over" screen? <.< (Or The End too, that works)

That scene is abotu 100 times better if you have a female character that looks like sigorney weaver... trust me, I discovered that by accident on my first playthrough...

Ripley: [referring to the doll] Look, no bad dreams there.
Newt: Ripley, she doesn't have bad dreams because she's just a piece of plastic.
