The final zones for FF14 Endwalker and the most recent one Dawntrail had me sobbing (endwalker more so, but both did it).
Baldur's Gate 3 had a few moments as well.
Dragon Age: the Veilguard did as well, as did parts of DA2 and DAI on my most recent playthroughs.
There's probably a couple more but I can't think of them right now!
There was this challenge in VVVVVV that left me with tears of rage in my fro
Lol fuck that game. Also, I love that game.
I can't believe no one is mentioning Chrono Triger few days after it was named as one of best video games. Geez I cried a lot with 2 finals.
Ending of the Transistor, I did not seet that coming. I just sat there in stunned silence for a few minutes.
I've only seen it in the s thread once, and just up voting it didn't seemed enough. I've played the majority of games people are mentioning here, some of them are quite sad and hit you like a punch in the stomach. Another one I also didn't cried but felt very strongly about it and I don't think I've seen it mentioned here was Life is Strange, there's one particular scene that got me very hard.
All of this is to say, I don't usually cry on movies, books or games, it's not a "boys don't cry" kind of thing, I don't have a problem with crying or with getting in touch with my feelings, I just don't cry very often or for any reason. However, I don't know if it was the story on its own or the blinking mechanic but Before your eyes had me crying, and wasn't just a couple tears either, I only held myself together because I couldn't leave the game until it finished. That game was an experience, I recommend going in blind and using the camera.
The Last Of Us Part II.
Revenge. Revenge never changes.
What's done is done and it can never be undone.
It is such a tear jerker. So good
TF2, when I get repeatedly owned by the same enemy. Especially if they're a soldier with love heart cosmetics.
Yes, once after accidentally wiping my Donkey Kong 64 save when I was like 5 and then during Horizon Zero Dawn, I think during RDR2, Life is strange and probably some others. Btw I also made plenty of people cry during the N64 split screen days so that part evens out nicely.
The end of God of War (2018).
Sekiro almost but not because of the story
Played through Before Your Eyes and it absolutely broke me. I'd 1000% recommend using a camera and going in blind. Very emotional experience.
As a kid I cried out of frustration while playing Dragon Ball Z Budokai during the Super Saiyan Goku vs 100% Full Power Frieza fight. It was just a massive difficulty spike that I'd constantly struggle with. My mom would make fun of me for it for a long time.
For anything more recent, I did cry in Danganronpa V3 at the end of the fourth trial. It was the only time my favorite character in one of these games died and the reason it happened sent me into a batch of sadness that lasted a few days where I just refused to keep playing the game.
Final Fantasy 14.
RDR2, when Arthur stopped to thank his (dying) horse (near the final mission). I got a lil choked up.
Yes, multiple times
Most recently it was "In stars and time"
Borderlands 2 TTAODK expansion
The ending
IYKYK
Halo CE ending with Johnson and the Elite. Got me as a child, and also as an adult. Halo 3 nearly got me too.
In my second play-through of CP77, I played as a female V just so I could romance Judy. It was great. Even went so far as to decorate V's apartments with pictures of the two of them together. So when the end came, I was not emotionally prepared for ...

... the revelation that Judy had decided to leave NC and V.
While I can't say I cried, it was probably the closest I've come to crying because of a video game.
Yes. Every dark souls game
I've teared up for some. In Sound Mind made me think of my cat who was recently deceased and was more special to me than any of the other pets I had. And then there was the ending for Outer Wilds, and the... fuckin' everything in Ori and the Blind Forest.
Maybe an outside one here, but when Dragon Age: Origins was still new, I was much younger and hadn't had a serious girlfriend yet. And in general, I got quite a bit more attached to characters in games, including the romantic interests especially.
Spoilers ahead if you haven't beaten the game
spoiler
At the end of the game, my character died and I had romanced the character Leliana. The end screen shows a somber note about Leliana being heartbroken and wandering the world missing the character.
Something about that really struck something in me and made me extremely sad. I think it's probably the only time I've ever really cried because of a video game.
I can't actually find a reference to this ending online. The wiki isn't 100% complete. Otherwise, I would have linked the blurb here.
Now a days I struggle to connect with characters in games. They will never be as real as my friends or my partner, so it's hard to form such an emotional connection as I did when I was a teenager.
It didn't quite make me cry, but the ending of Planescape Torment got me right in my feels.
I'm late but here's an oddball.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time
If you've never played the mystery dungeon games, you never really see your character actually speak to anyone. You have internal thoughts you can read but when you talk to others you just kinda wiggle around.
After you beat the final boss, you finally see your character speak with your partner and god damn it hit hard when I was a lad.
FF7. Loved Aerith's character, lots of time learning the background, near endless fights to save her, then cutscene. 45 hours went to 70 pretty fast after that. I wanted revenge on that fucker, and I had Holy.
Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC. One last fun ride with a bunch of friends before the final reckoning.
For added gut punch: romance Thane.
The ending of Crisis Core thoroughly wrecked me.
Hey, would you say... I became a hero?
