The first mission in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. I've never in my life role played in any game ever, except in that first mission. I role played the shit out of that. So fucking epic.

I remember landing on the beach, coming up out of the water. I just stood there, blown away at the chaos and the dead bodies laying everywhere. I was pretty young at the time so it hit me pretty hard.
I remember when i got Mass Effect 2 i was fucking hooked on it.
When Garrus got eaten by space bees in my first Mass Effect 2 playthrough. I went into a tearful rage.
gears of war 2, when [sp]carmine gets acidified by those things in the giant work[/sp] and if gears of war 3 where [sp]dom dies. the song that came on DIDNT HELP IN THE SLIGHTEST[/sp]
Massive :(.
but no crying. its a videogame...
[QUOTE=Capitulazyguy;32831616]I liked Earle, probably because I decided that him hitting Elsa was just put in at the last minute because the developers realised he was too likable. Phelps was just a complete tool. "Rusty, be realistic. This is clearly the work of a serial killer. I don't care for your statistics and decades of experience, I'm an incorruptible cop! [sp](Who cheats on his wife and yells at old ladies)[/sp]"[/QUOTE]
I can see how Earle is the kind of guy were either you love him or hate him, and personally i hated him.
And Phelps is generally one of my most hated main character's in a video game ever, he is atleast on the top ten for me.
In Silent Hill: Homecoming
[sp]When a the police officer dies. Don't remember his name though.[/sp]
Ending of Infamous 2.
Basically anything in a MGS game.
GoW 2 and Carmine. Sad because he had just started to become part of the team.
Don't lie to me, you had tears well up in the end of Bioshock if you saved every little sister.
Or jees, Isaac's whole life in Dead Space.
Every single step taken in Dark Souls. Rage is an emotion right?
When the girl in Dead Island [sp]kills her dad[/sp].
It heavilly impacted me emotionally, it tooks me mutiple weeks to recover after that. I couldn't believe that a game could be so depressing and horrible. I can't believe the developers could put that in the game. I couldn't focus in school because I was thinking of that sad and tragic scene.

Don't forget this:

It was cool that the Paragon interrupt was a pistol whip the person who did this.
When Sergei turns against you in Mercenaries
Shadow of the Colossus, when [sp]Agro fell down the chasm.[/sp]
I cried when that happened on my first playthrough, but I wanted revenge on the [sp]last colossus[/sp] because I felt like it was the reason the [sp]bridge collapsed.[/sp]
[sp]It made me happy when Agro came back in the end though.[/sp]
Being alone in a snowy forest in Red Orchestra: Darkest Hour. One of the coolest feelings I've had playing a game.
Another was at the very beginning of Space Marine when you and two other space marines walk into a bombed out building and one of the dying guardsmen who's surrounded by fellow dead looks up at you as you walk by and says something like "Real Space Marines.. I never thought I'd see one." It was a weird experience of power and reverence that I really wish they'd do more of in 40k games.
Played Stronghold Crusader on Christmas Eve. Whenever you receive a message, a lord or a lord's messenger will appear in the lower right. Then I got a message from one of my enemies:
"My master wishes you a merry Christmas."
What an awesome feature.
the main character death in gears of war 3
fuck everything about that :(
When all games get released after every other country in Australia
Red dead redemption. Was just riding through the desert and came across a random dead guy on the floor and a woman on her knees next to him crying. I was wondering what the hell happened and what this was all about, side mission or something maybe? As i was watching closely she then picked up a gun on the floor and i unholstered my gun, just incase she was going to blame me and start shooting or something. She then shot herself in the head and fell dead next to the guy. That was it, all over.
[QUOTE=Hayabusa07;31501240]Metal Gear Solid 1: Gray Fox's story. [sp]How he adopted Naomi as her own sister after killing her parents, being forced to live through drugging after his original death, and that he sacrificed himself so that Snake could defeat Liquid (fighting back Metal Gear Rex with just one arm). That damn scene with the rocket launcher will live with anyone with a heart.[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]Snake. We're not tools of the government, or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing... the only thing I was good at. But... at least I always fought for what I believed in. [/sp]
Cod4 singleplayer when you kill the dog by breaking its neck, I paused the game and shuddered for a while and even now typing about it I get sad :(

That dog was a true hero.
The moment my character got fat in Fable II. Fuck searching for celery.
Sold it out of sheer spite.
Basically everything in Heavy Rain.
Half-life 2, in the citadel. After feeling like an unstoppable force with the super physgun and literally tearing the place apart, you foolishly allow yourself to be captured. When Breen is mocking you, you realise how stupid you've been. Driving around in broad daylight, leading the combine to rebel base after rebel base, causing hundreds of unnecessary deaths.
Even though you can't do it any other way in the game, I still felt ashamed that I was so stupid as to not think of the consequences of my actions - and I feel as close to real hatred you can feel for an imaginary person towards Dr Breen because he wasn't ridiculing Gordon Freeman for his mistakes, no, he was ridiculing me.
Only the best games can replicate this level of immersion.
