Games that made you "emotional"

Closed

As in games that made you really sad and maybe even want to cry - possibly leading to tears.

Here's my list, in order of their ability to manipulate me:

The Walking Dead
To the Moon
Mother 3
Bioshock 2 (not 1) (Some support, in case you heard the ridiculous claim that Bioshock 1 has a better story.)
ICO
Chrono Trigger (Maybe. Can't remember how effective it was, really.)
Mirror's Edge

No spoilers, please!

A very spoilery article from John Walker on Rock, Paper, Shotgun about games that made him cry. He adds To the Moon to his list in another article. I haven't played the games he talks about.

Why has NO ONE EVER played Nier? That game has the best story EVER. You WILL cry and you WILL be depressed when you beat it. The Story line was extremely well thought out and the game play is amazing too. Best game ever IMO.

Final Fantasy 6 has one of the most moving storylines. Every single character had their own heartaches. It was the last good story in a mainstream Final Fantasy game.

I would 6 and 7 are the only ones with very good stories I've played, but I've missed a few.

I have recently beat FFVI and like FFVII, both are overrated. If you said that if because you havent play so much rpg's I think.
