End of Metal Gear Solid where Grey Fox dies. (Original) (Twin Snakes)

End of MGS3

The end of Metal Gear Solid 4 where Big Boss dies. (Highlight to show)

There was a few other's but those were the big ones for me.

Metal Gear Solid 4 had quite a few moving moments, but the scene I remember most from that game is the Metal Gear REX sequence at the end of Act 4. Not moving in the slightest, but quite possibly the most awesome sequence I have ever seen in a game.

When i didnt get my fuckin cake....

hahaha so true... I mean how may chicks as hot as alex ten years his junior would be into gordon in fairness... there should be a 'get onto alex' button.

This may sound silly, but I found the end of Klonoa 2 quite moving. My young boy self was just yelling 'WHY DOES HE HAVE TO LEEEEAAAAVE?!" and I just cried. Then again, I was younger back then, and very attached to the character of Klonoa. I found it to be a fun game, and it was extremely cute in a way that compells me now as much as it did back then.
I'm sure there are others, I cry a lot.

Well, skies of arcadia nearly made me cry. It's that bit when....

I have to wander slightly off the path of this thread for a moment. The Ocarina of Time bit where Link says goodbye to Saria (Possibly forever) might have been moving, but for these reasons -

1. Neither of the characters emote. Link's entire reaction to the debacle is to stare unblinkingly at his life-friend, with the same expression he uses for looking at every other character

2. Link never says anything. Yes, yes, I know that's kind of the point, but still, we don't have any idea how he feels about all this.

3. Link's body language gives nothing away. Ok, at the time of production we can't be expecting IMax cinematics, but something more than stare-stare-run away to tell us how the little blonde bugger feels would be nice

4. There wasn't any build-up the scene. We're just told that Saria is your best friend, and are expected to accept it without any question. In fact, I only ever recall seeing evidence of this twice, and one of those times WAS that scene

Now I understand the emotion behind having someone close. No jaded cold-heart am I. But that scene just didn't cut it, no siree

MGS series spoilers:

The deaths of the Colossi in SOTC. They look so sad as they die... and the music...

KOTR had a great twist. That was cool. But for me, the most moving has got to be

The ending of FF3(6). I just did not want that game to end. I somehow also was surprised and delighted with the ending of FF9. Somehow I didn't see it coming 0.o

A lot of single player Warcraft 3 had some great moments. The death of Grom Hellscream I always thought was amazing.

I think 3 of these moments for me, would be the ending of FFX, MGS3 and MGS4. They Always get me.

Valkyria chronicle, the post ending especially.

I thought Fallout 3 was very moving. Gears 2 tried to be, but it was kinda forced.

KOTOR Spoilers ahoy

On Rakata Prime when Jolee and Juhani died, and optionally Mission. Tough pill to swallow, indeed.

Beating Great Jabu Jabu's Belly in Ocerana of Time.

Playing through it again, the nuke scene in World in Conflict...

The endings of all the Xeno-games. Even Episode 2. That whole game sucked, but the ending was so moving it almost maded up for it.

You know, now that I think about it, any game with a soundtrack by Yasunori Mitsuda.

Army of Two....sniff :'(
Heh, nah the endings of MGS3 and 4 make me blub everytime

I gotta tell you, when Dead or Alive 4 perfected their *cough* 'unique' physics engine, I nearly wept (but mostly in sadness and despair for the general dumbing down of gaming)

Seriously, I think the most moving moment in gaming, personally, was in Kingdom Hearts when you shut the door on Riku and Mikey since it felt like you were dooming them to death, but couldn't help but hope that they would show up again.

In Assassin's Creed, you're a descendant to the Hashashin organization and while you try to eliminate certain men from existence in the time of the Crusades, you, in the process, discover the thing that basically made Jesus the son of God.
Epic.

As a pretty devoted Christian, the part in Assassin's Creed where you come over the hilltop and see Jerusalem for the first time... I just sat and stared for a while.

Hell. YES.

Also, Sniper Wolf's death in MGS1 was a bit moving... excuse me, I have something in my eye...

That was pretty...

I think the most moving video game I've ever played was Silent Hill 2. I went through a whole range of emotions playing it, from sadness to absolute terror at the thought of seeing Pyramid Head around a dark corner. ..and when he pursues you and Maria down that dreadful hallway.

Finding out what James had done was just...wow. That was a moment. Then having to...well..at the very end....(if you've played, you know what I mean).

I still cannot play this game in the dark by myself. At least, not for more than 20 minutes. And I have played this game...a lot. In fact, I have it for my PC, my PS2, and for the XBOX. I even named my dog in Fable II, "Eddie". And I almost cried when I played Silent Hill: Homecoming and got the achievement "Shades of James" after beating the monster Siam.

And one more:

The entire game ICO. It's not a very long game, but the entire time I played I was just...terribly sad. Until I met Yorda, but then the ending came around. The ending made me cry.

This post makes me sound like a sap, but let's just say that the times I've cried because of these games counts for about 3/4 of all the times I've cried in my life. Now that...wow. I never really thought of it like that before.

The ending letter in Silent Hill 2. Pretty heartbreaking stuff.

EDIT: And for some strange reason, World of Goo, the level where you had to string them over the windmill. There was this emotional music, and I kept hitting them into it by mistake, and they would shriek, and...shut up, I'm allowed to get emotional.

The end of most games where the villain dies.
