Have you ever cried because of a video game?

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.

Absolutely not! I’ve never played The Last Guardian. (Yes)
Trico may not exactly be a dog, but Trico is still a very good dog

RDR2. RIP Arthur Morgan.
Arthur knew what he signed up for; and I had come to accept what I could see coming at that point.. But his horse's death hit me fucking hard.

No. Why would you ever get so emotionally entangled in a video game?

Wuthering waves had me tear up a few times actually. They have some really good stories around their characters, tie that in with some of the best music I've heard in a game and it just plays with your emotions.
I'm sure anyone who has played it knows the encore story lol
I'm almost 40 years old and have been playing games my entire life, like way too much, and I can't believe I'd actually be saying wuthering waves, a freaking predatory gacha game, is probably in my top 5 best games I've ever played when considering overall quality along with how fun it is. I only found it like 2-3 months ago and I've already put over 200 hours in it... There's a joke that Kuro games is a music/anime company that attaches a game to their art.

As a kid I cried out of frustration while playing Dragon Ball Z Budokai during the Super Saiyan Goku vs 100% Full Power Frieza fight. It was just a massive difficulty spike that I'd constantly struggle with. My mom would make fun of me for it for a long time.
For anything more recent, I did cry in Danganronpa V3 at the end of the fourth trial. It was the only time my favorite character in one of these games died and the reason it happened sent me into a batch of sadness that lasted a few days where I just refused to keep playing the game.

The Witcher 3 is probably the game I have cried the most while playing. From the opening cinematic I shed tears because I found it so beautifully made, I cried when Geralt reunited with Ciri, I shed angry tears when I found a particularly gruesome crime scene during a quest.
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
When Vesemir dies, all the tearsWhen I thought Ciri died, tears again
:::The fucking Velen OST makes me cry sometimes.
And I'm only taking about base game here, I haven't finished any of the DLC's... Which I know are fantastic so there are still more tears to cry, so... I think I'm gonna go play just now.
