Persona 4 got me real choked up near the end. 
 
Now, if tears of laughter count, a couple of parts in I Wanna Be The Guy had me absolutely dying.

No I've never cried because of a game but I have been pretty bummed after certain things happen in some games like the death of Emma in MGS2 or the ending in MGS4 (at one point i thought there wasn't gonna be anymore solid snake so that was a bummer), that's all I can think of off the top of my head I'm sure there are/will be others that will bum me out but never cry (never cried because of a movie either so I guess that's part of it).

Mother 3 got me at the final boss. I didn't see it coming.

What a great game.

Mother 3, and I don't think I should explain to anybody why a single chapter in the game made me cry for hours. Or why the first chapter's ending is positively evil. Just thinking about Hinawa... I gotta go...

The first Mafia made me tear up a bit. I didn't watch very many mobster movies, so I didn't know any of the cliches that are in them, so it was a pretty big surprise to play through. I was also only like 12 or something.

I've never cried due to a video game but I've probably felt the most emotion from Shadow of the Colossus. I wouldn't call it sad. I just know that as the game went on, every time I killed one of the Colossi, I felt something drop in my stomach.

The scene with Sniper Wolf and Otacon and the monologue from Naomi when you take the freight elevator down to Rex for the first time made me all misty eyed.

No game has made me cry but games have made me sad.  Three games that come to mind are the ending of Red Dead Redemption and Half-life Episode 2, when Alyx was injured and at the end.  The last game that almost made me cry was the ending of Portal 2 but that was because the ending made me very happy.  It felt perfect.

I haven't cried at a game but I did piss myself playing one once. 
I was playing OoT and fighting Queen Ghoma. I really needed to go but I was engrossed in the game. 
I held it in as long as I could but, eventually, the inevitable happened. 
I finished the fight and then changed my pants and trousers.

I really, really hate to admit this, but the ending of Crisis Core really got to me. I hate to admit it because I thought the rest of the game and the story was kind of shit, but man that ending was powerful.

I was never moved to tears, but GTAIV still sticks out in my might as a game that carried a lot of emotional weight. There were so many shitty situations that Nico found himself in, and I think they did a great job conveying how uncomfortable he was with them. Sometimes you could see it in his face when things got tense or socially awkward. Other times I'd pick up on the fact that see passed up on a lot of vice (drinking, drugs, etc.) in cut-scenes. Of course, there's also the long-term build-up of frustration and vengeance as things gets more complicated.
 
Mind you, that all gets a little broken when you decide to run-amok and cause chaos. But if you make the investment and "role-play" the game, you get the bigger picture.

Nope. Never been even close. Games still have a considerable way to go still to actually evoke any tears from me.

When I was about 8 my Pokemon Blue cart corrupted and lost my save game. Pretty sure that was the only time.

Not in a touching way. I screamed and cried during the first boss fight with Bowser in Super Mario 64, though. 
 
 I was pissed.

i'm pretty sure Lost Odyssey is the only one, that game was beautiful and heart wrenching at times, i think it brought a tear to my both for sadness and happiness, and the treasure hunter achievement brought a tear to my eye in frustration ;-)

I dont know how a video game could ever make you cry. I mean, I think there are some great games with pretty great stories and stuff, but it takes a whole hell of a lot to get me invested in something enough to make me tear up. There have been a few movies that have made me tear up a bit and I would say that it takes a brilliant script and amazing acting to pull that off because it rarely happens. Video games simply dont induce anywhere near that level of emotion because they are still fairly immature when it comes to narrative elements.

Now, I will admit that when I was in second grade I cried because my parents force me to stop playing pokemon because I was OBSESSED!!!!!!! But I dont think that really counts :P

There are only two games that come to mind. Chrono Trigger, but I was 6 the first time I played it. Final Fantasy X's ending made me tear up a bit too.

The end of Red Dead Redemption with John Marston got me good.  Usually games get me pissed off at the antagonists tho like in GTA4, I was so pissed at the wedding scene I wanted to just destroy everyone in that drive by.

In Dragon Age, toward the end. It's not really a spoiler to say that the game builds to a climax, you have a final exchange with your companions before the last encounter...some of their comments made me weepy.

No, there aren't any good examples of videogame drama that can have that effect. At least on me. And if I see this thread again, I'll probably cry.

Definitely this. 
The P4ER on the whole had moments that not necessarily had me tearing up but definitely getting a little choked. Equally Nier and Enslaved had their times.

Not really. Kind of misty-eyed during some parts of Lost Odyssey though.
