The first time a game made you cry.

As a kid, Klonoa. That ending mixed with that song, literally listening to the cutesy main character shrieking in desperation, begging just to be left alone with his friends...That shit scarred me, and I love it.

More recently, it's been nigh impossible to actually get the tears out of me, but I can think of a few that got me to well up. Most recent I can think of, and most fucking shocking, was WoW, with
The death of Ysera.
As a big ol dragon-fag, and a fan of the old lore, the sequence that you play through in Shadowlands that depicts those...Shit actually choked me up a little.

Though I think i did ugly cry at playing Yakuza 0 a few years ago, specifically at the car scene in the woods.

Every time a game or whatever else that does the "And you" thing at the end of the credits
I am a huge faggot for music that has a huge finish like DAMN, you just finished this thing aren't you just proud of yourself
 
I don't know the first time a game made me cry, but I can remember the most recent time I cried when I played OMORI
I had shed some tears during the true ending, where Sunny attempts to 'save' Basil, and the Final Duet scene plays, but what made me legitimately cry is reloading to see what would happen if I slept instead, since I noticed the option to do so.

Since I didn't save Basil, he killed himself, and everyone in his house is by his door mourning. What broke me is Kel's reaction.

Throughout the entire game, Kel is a really optimistic person, and all he wanted was to heal the relationship between his friends, so seeing him like this after now losing 2 of his close friends (first Mari, now Basil, and soon Sunny because he kills himself too in this ending) crushed me (:_(

Spiritfarer, though to be fair, my grandfather passed unexpectedly halfway through my playthrough.
 
I wasn't crying like that Star Wars guy. But when I got to the end of RDR2 with Arthur I was tearing up. But I wasn't sobbing. I liked playing as Arthur and I thought he had way more character in him then John did in RDR2. I still like John Marston as a character. Arthur dying was a bit hard. This was my first playthrough of the game.

The other time was when I finally got around to playing RDR1. That was back in 2018. So, the game had been around for a while, and I knew how it ended. But I still teared up a little bit when John told Abigail that everything was fine in the barn before he gets killed. He knows he is going to get killed and tells his wife that everything was fine, but it wasn't.

RDR1 and RDR2 are pretty sad games when you think about it. Especially if you know some of the story behind the characters. A lot of them came from pretty shitty situations at very young ages.

Arthur never had any kids or family other than the gang. The one kid he did have the mother and his kid ended up getting killed in a robbery for a few dollars. His final good deed was to help John Marston escape from the gang and the law. The only real legacy Arthur has is John Marston and his family. But Arthur couldn't protect John forever and the law/government came for him anyway but at a much later date. The kill John and that leaves Jack and his mother Abigail. Abigail dies of health issues I believe leaving Jack alone. Jack goes and hunts down the man that was behind his father getting killed. Basically, assuring that Jack will spend his life on the run, and he will live like Arthur and John something neither of them wanted for Jack. Meaning the government will eventually find him and kill him. It's pretty sad.

Arthur's death was really rough. Just the amount of time you spend both with and as him. Playing the game I made fun of the way he said "sure" but by the end I'd give anything to hear him say it again. Arthur husbando.
Arthur had a really well formed personality and unique voice, but the customization and morality also leant him to be an excellent player insert. So the epilogue where people say "he was a good man" really got to me. It was like being a ghost at my own funeral.
The last guy punch was doing unfinished side quests as John. They had John's VA rerecord all the same lines and used those for the cutscenes but it's so obvious from the gestures and attitude it's supposed to be Arthur. Hearing John say "sure" broke my heart.

I got a bit misty eyed at the end credits for Minsc in Baldurs Gate 2. Don't really know why, not like it's super sad or anything but reading it after playing through BG1 and BG2 hit me in the feels.

Nier ending C and D and Replicant's E, Death Stranding's final delivery. Ico, Nier Automata, Shadow of the Colossus, Twilight Princess, didn't make me cry but did hit me in the feels

That voice actress is phenomenal, it sounds like she’s not acting, like she actually is that upset and emotional reading the letter

It was Silent Hill 2 for me, as well. And I completely agree about the voice actress.
I got the Leave ending the first time I played through it, and I was holding it together, but the end just wrecked me:
James...
You made me happy.

When Brooklyn died in Call of Duty: Big Red One.

I know that's probably shitty taste, but I was little, I thought the character was likable, and it was THE LAST MISSION.
 
Super Mario Bros. I was five years old, and I ran into that first goomba over and over until I ran out of lives. Got so mad, I cried.

Only game that ever made me lose my shit was Mother 3, the game simultaneously has the most depressing beginning and ending in a game.

Also that part in MGS4 where
Snake has one last encounter with Big Boss in the cemantary always gets me choked up every time.
