A game ever made you get emotional?

Spoilers be in this thread.

Now, its not embarassing to cry or cheer at the movies, or get emotional at books, but with games, its some kind of taboo. Good storytelling should have the same effect, no matter what media it is presented through? I wanted to know how many people got really into the emotion of certain games story.

For example, at the end of Star Wars: Republic Commando, when Sev dies, I thought that was a really powerful moment, as the game had really built up those characters, and it was very moving. And just after that, when the invasion force arrived, it clicked as great storytelling.

Mass Effect was another one, I was shocked when certain members of my team were killed off, and the decision between ashley and kaiden was a powerful one, I stood looking over the edge for ages deciding what to do. Also, the end of that game had me truly cheering on the good guys during that epic fight, andfinding out shepard is alive is a great moment, even if cliched.

Anyone else found storytelling so good sometimes that they got REALLY involved?

Shenmue. atreyu27

Agreed with Shenmue.

MGS got to me, the sad ending anyways.

Halo, Cod4 and Mass effect made me emotional

And also the Jak and daxter games on PS2

I cried when Zelda:OoT was over. I just didnt want it to end. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it. IT WAS JUST SO EPIC!RyanShazam

Mass Effect, the characters felt real enough and the lines were well written. A bit cliché but I think that was what they were aiming for seeing how it's an homage to sci-fi from the 80's. Too bad the pop-up took me out of the game at story critical moments (I hate you U3 engine).

I also played Shenmue 2 and thsi thread makes me want to replay it again. It's a bit boring but you really are thet character, you cant costumize him or anything but you and him make a journey through some great invirnments. Shenmue is something different, it's not for everybody but I woudl really recommand it as it's an original experience.

The Darkness

Big Spoiler!!

I must admit i was a massive fan of SGT Johnson in halo and when he lost his hat i got annoyed and when they left him i got realy lary lol

The Darkness is the only game to ever have me in near tears, the story is just so well told, I almost yelled "NOOOOOO!!!!" when *spoilers* his girlfriend was killed by the leader guy (haven't played in awhile I forgot their names) :Pxgamer40

when i played chronicles of riddick i felt like a badass escaping prison.

KOTOR and MGS 2 were very epic and emotional. It freaked me out when Colonel Campbell went crazy. With Gears of War i felt like i was a small part of a big war especially at the end when it shows the outro and one of the Locust is talking saying the war aint over.

Oh, how could i forget halo 3!

[spoiler] Johnsons death...that was sad. [/spoiler]

The whole story of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare single-player campaign was soo great that you couldn't help but to get involved which was an emotional experience throughout the entire game from the beginning to the end.

Metal Gear Solid 1st one, Where sniper wolf kills merel got me a bit emotional. The ending of halo 3, finally it comes to end which i didn't want it to.InFaMous_Si

Sniper Wolf never really did kill Meryl, but the part in which Wolf dies, the dialogue and the music (PS1 and PC) got to me.

Chrono Trigger.

Usually I don't get attached to games (not by choice, I'm just not emotional. I get no responce from movies or books either, at least not an emotional one)

But I will admit I cried at the end.

NO game makes me emotional, i mean if you get emotional to a GAME you are problably a psycho. Like for instance kids who play games and get emotional go out and shoot people.szafto

Uhh

no.
