Good posts, people...definitely piqued my interest in some games, namely Death Stranding!
I'm impressed that people have been mindful of spoilers. It's almost like you loved the experience enough that you want others to share in the magic!
TLOU and TWD aside, I've only broke down crying in 3 different games, and they also happen to be my top 3 favorite games of all time (Final Fantasy XIII ending, Dragon Age: Origins for a personal reason, and Mass Effect 1 because at the time it was a million miles away the best game I'd ever played). I wanna cry more, dammit!
@RogerRoger we've just been replaying it and I feel like mgs4 really wraps up the story well but realistically we are only half way through. The games from here on out are good in terms of gameplay but not as emotional in terms of story. I think next is peace walker, rising, ground zeroes and phantom pain (in order they came out)
Might actually get around to playing the original metal gear and metal gear 2 which I've never played before. I've also never played snakes revenge, metal gear solid (ghost Babel) for game boy colour, metal gear acid 1 and 2, metal gear survive, the "digital graphic novel" for psp and portable ops plus which I've read is sort of a story-less gameplay expanded standalone version of portable ops
@ralphdibny Yeah, there are moments which certainly evoke emotion in the latter half of the series, but the sadness and tragedy of MGS4 is never matched; it's usually excitement, fear or tension played to perfection in those games you've yet to play.
I've had the Metal Gear Ac!d games sitting sealed on my shelf for years (and I really mean, years... got them back in 2010, I think) and in this current lockdown, I'm drawing ever-closer to finally giving them a look-see. If I do, I'll tag you in any thoughts I may have.

@RogerRoger good stuff I look forward to hearing them!
Speaking of fear and tension, one moment in mgs 4 in the snowy canyon on shadow Moses (where you fought Vulcan raven in the tank in the original MGS), I just walked closely to a random rock and all of a sudden it just jumped up and it was a gekko (the walking tank thing) and it made me jump out of my skin! Frightened the life out of me!
@ralphdibny Kojima is excellent with atmosphere like that. I'm no fan of horror, not by a long shot, but a lot of the horror-esque elements he included in The Phantom Pain really got to me, including the creeping mist whenever the Skulls showed up, and the field hospital where you encounter Skull Face and then fight the Man on Fire. Masterful manipulation of tension, something the eerie, empty quiet of the open maps can really utilise when they want to.

Never cried to a game but a moment that got to me last night was in Code Vein after restoring the first ancient vestige, it really got me in the feels for some reason.
The very first game that made me cry was Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core . Still remember that day so clearly.
There’s been a bunch of games since.... . Most recently I’d go FFXV, NieR Automata, Uncharted 4 & Yakuza 0.
It’s almost always the ending that gets me. I’m not one to tear up in the middle.
Also whenever simple & clean plays in Kingdom Hearts I become a sniffling mess😂😅.
EDIT: Some great comments!
Which reminds me that I definitely had tears of joy when I finished & platinumed Persona 5.
Persona 3 had me emotionally drained- that’s the closest any game got to Crisis Core.
The Last Guardian made me cry happy tears- what a wonderful game that was. Played it just after my first dog died. The perfect game, at the perfect time.
