I moved some keywords into the spoiler tags, since they can cause people to expect something specific, whether right or wrong.
For example if you say a character's name and then follow it up with a spoiler tag, ppl may suspect the character to die, etc.
We have a spoiler discussion thread for this game btw. But if the focus here is games that make you cry, then that's fine.

There were a couple of scenes in Yakuza 0 that were pretty rough. Someone was definitely cutting onions in my room.
And the well known scene in the first TLOU at least got me misty eyed.

As for TLOU2, I didn't cry 

Spoiler!

during the first major tragic scene. It's because I felt like the way it was carried out was too rushed considering what happened, so I couldn't 'appreciate it' enough to get emotional in that way. Instead I felt angry at some characters. And I don't have a lot of faith in the writing now, but I'll see where it goes.

But I almost teared up a bit during some of the related follow up scenes.

The theme of the first game was Love, while Part 2’s is Hate.

The way I see it, what you felt was what ND wanted. Through their narrative mastery, they’re succeeding in making us feel that anger and hate. I’m still quite early in the game, but the way they’re building things up, from a storytelling point of view, I think the journey will be an emotionally exhausting one, more-so than the first game. Because hate and anger, and the desperation and sadness that often go hand in hand with those, are heavier feelings to carry over an extended period of time compared to love.
