        Yes, several times. The first one that comes to mind is The Last of Us Part 2.

                    Last of us part 2.

                    To the moon.

                    I may have teared up at the end of Half-Life 2.

                      My brother mained Mordecai in the first game. That part ruined him for days

                      A different part ruined me. I mained Roland.

                        FFX. When Titus and Luna were playing/swimming in the lagoon/lake/whatever and being happy. If memory serves correctly, at that point in the game, it was very clear that Luna was going to be sacrificed to keep Sin from destroying the world, and she had accepted that as her duty like the other summoners before her.

                          My partner is chronically ill and Karlach's ending in BG3 made me sob because I was romancing her and it hit very close to home

                            Maybe an outside one here, but when Dragon Age: Origins was still new, I was much younger and hadn't had a serious girlfriend yet. And in general, I got quite a bit more attached to characters in games, including the romantic interests especially.

                            Spoilers ahead if you haven't beaten the game

                            ::: spoiler spoiler
                            At the end of the game, my character died and I had romanced the character Leliana. The end screen shows a somber note about Leliana being heartbroken and wandering the world missing the character.

                            Something about that really struck something in me and made me extremely sad. I think it's probably the only time I've ever really cried because of a video game.

                            I can't actually find a reference to this ending online. The wiki isn't 100% complete. Otherwise, I would have linked the blurb here.
                            :::

                            Now a days I struggle to connect with characters in games. They will never be as real as my friends or my partner, so it's hard to form such an emotional connection as I did when I was a teenager.

                                Outer Wilds, both at the end and when I found the DLC spoiler character. Good tears, though. It's beautiful

                                  Final Fantasy VII, the original one. Stopped playing it for a couple months.

                                    I've teared up for some. In Sound Mind made me think of my cat who was recently deceased and was more special to me than any of the other pets I had. And then there was the ending for Outer Wilds, and the... fuckin' everything in Ori and the Blind Forest.
