Games that had an emotional impact on you?

So there's a thread like this and no mention of Katawa Shoujo? Rin's "neutral" ending left me quite depressed (yeah, neutral my ass, that thing was freaking depressing). But still, that's some great writing that game has.

Then there's To The Moon. Without spoiling it, it was an extremely emotional game, but the ending just pissed me off.

Other games that were mildly emotional were Bastion, Cave Story, for whatever reason Don't Look Back (on Kongregate) and Half Life 2: Episode 2. I'm not even listing the scary ones because I know just the insane amount of hidden, really scary gems (none of which is Dead Space-like, nor anything near that).

Assassin's Creeds are so epic they make me cry ;D
Mafia 2 was also pretty awesome.

bulletstorm and cod mw3 :'(

Cave Story, Final Fantasy 5, DragonQuest 5, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3:Fes, Half-life, and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor.

Mass Effect 1 & 2
Final Fantasy VIII
Mafia The City of Lost Haven, best games that I've played and I still remember them so well.

cs and max payne 1, 2

I don't know... none? Maybe Red Dead Redemption, why did I have to kill so many squirrels?
So many characters with such pathetic lives... really cynical game, sadly very real. You're a sucker if you think everyone you help will go out and be happy.

The end of Metal Gear Solid 4. Seeing everything come to an end, and just, the final moments were crazy emotional.

all The final fantasy series up to 10. And i enjoyed FF 12 aswell.

Metal gear series.

I enjoyed kingdom hearts aswell :).

True story.

Condemned: Criminal Origins scared me and Mirror's Edge / inMomentum can make me cry out of joy.

Here is a small list of the games I remember right now:

Planescape Torment

Fallout 1, 2 and 3 [Dad :'(]

Portal 1 (can't play portal 2 yet)

Team Fortress 2 (I remember the old UPDATE! days with a tear in my eye)

Killing Floor ( That shitshitshitshit feeling when you are the last man standing against 50 or more zeds with scrakes and FP around)

Prince of Persia (The cell shaded one)

Mafia 1 ( I love Tommy)

Half Life 2 Episode 2 :(

Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

BIT.TRIP RUNNER

Bastion, Half Life 2 Episode 2, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4.

Pong. When that other paddle hit the ball back at me, I just... well I'm not too proud to say that I cried a little.

Pokemon Red & Crystal ;_;. And Saints Row: The Third... OH! And Portal series.

Mirrors Edge

Nier: Gestalt. That game by the 4th ending almost made me cry. The story is fucking beautiful, the music is amazing, and the game itself was very fun. Annoyingly barely possible for all achievements, but fun.

Heavy Rain on ps3 made me cry... few times ;((

The ending to Red Dead Redemption was sad

Persona 3 and 4.

MGS3, Tales of Abyss, Kingdom Hearts saga (yeah), Chronno Trigger, and i can't think of any other.

Deus Ex: HR, Mass Effect 1/3, Assassin's Creed, The Witcher 2, Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge. I can't really remember a lot of older games really having an emotional impact mostly because they tended to shy away from cinematic or narrative-driven ideas for technological reasons. I really enjoyed the first Deus Ex and the Monkey Island series though.

Dantes inferno, gave me a sad the whole game.

Grandia 2 - great RPG. I played it many years ago. Made me cry few times. Wonderful story.
