"War ... war never changes". The ending to 1997's Fallout, being turned away by the overseer after wandering the wasteland, still cuts deep today.

The entire opening to Bioshock had me scared to leave the bathysphere and begin the game.

Sumpfkraut,

That and the video where you are being captured and put into a vat of a green glowing substance.

not sure whether it counts but the ending to lisa the painful fucks me up to this day. the whole game is full of moments like it but the ending hits hardest

gerowen,

Two that really stick out:

  1. Final Fantasy X, the ending when Yuna rushes to hug Tidus and falls through him because he's starting to fade.
  2. Life is Strange Before the Storm. (Spoilers) The ending with the camera flash. I played the first game. I knew Rachel died. But I lost myself in "this" game where she's alive. Forged a wonderful romance with Chloe and everything. I remember it was like 3AM when I finished the game and when it faded to the shot of Rachel's phone sitting on the table with tons of missed calls and the camera flashing in the background, I just involuntarily blurted out "Oh FUCK YOU!" It was a painful reminder that no matter how happy you make her, she dies in the end.
original_reader,

“Neptune One rocket… online.”

"“What is a wave without the ocean ? A beginning without an end ? They are different, but they go together. Now you go among the stars, and I fall among the sand. We are different. But we go…together.”

Goosebumps. Thank you, Subnautica!

DoctorOdds,

So many to choose from in the Metal Gear Solid series, but the one that sticks with me the most is when Vamp stabs Emma Emmerich, with the setting sun over the ocean in the background. Perfect scene

Mullet85,

I really love Snake and Otacon's cool guy handshake in MGS2 as well

The trailer for Dead Island made my wife cry.

fuzz,

Aeris’ death in FFVII. I’m sure there are more artistic cutscenes in others games I’ve played, but that one was the first one I remember punching me in the gut. And the soundtrack…

Gears of War 3, Dom doing the unthinkable to protect his brother. I was utterly shook for days.

BobKerman3999,

Also when he finds his wife, or what’s left of her

The end credits of Ending E of Nier: Automata

I don't know if you can exactly count it as a cut scene, but if you do, it is an emotionally overwhelming experience.

Ending A already hit me hard, but in retrospect it made the other endings hit me even harder, when you finally understand what really happened.

The opening scene to Ori and the Blind Forest. Was not expecting such an emotional scene right off the jump.
