A game that played with your emotions?

Name a game that brought out a geniune emotion out of you in a good way, or a game that tested your morality. Can be from other generations.

Morality, for me Bioshock and Braid come to mind. There's some interesting choices you're faced with in both of them.

The strongest emotion out of a game for me though, may have been in The Darkness. That scene almost makes you want to go out and fight someone :) And it made the end that much better.

Before I even saw what you posted, I was going to say The Darkness.

Not many people seem to apprechiate that game, though. =[

Definetly Mass Effect. So many of your decisions heavily effect the outcome of the story.

Whats this? I was gonna go out and get bioshock next week but you have sparked my curiousity now..I would say rainbow 6 because it sucked when losing someone thats been through the hard times with you even so betrayed by someone who was there with you all the time aswell...revenge!:xSantesyu

Bioshock is an example of both of these, there's definitely some tough choices you're faced with, and many surprises along the way :)

I think this is something that makes a game good and compelling enough to play to the end. This will have to be Grand Theft Auto IV for me. It challenges society on all levels and most obviously through the radio shows. Faults of all people and society are displayed in extremes through the people that you do missions for. All while you are just one man searching for the American Dream.BrutalPandaX2

Not many people picked up on it, way too many people rushed through the game. The scale of it is amazing, and the amount of subtleties they dropped is just unbelievable. It's those little things that make me love Rockstar. GTA4 was an experience to me more so than a game. And that's a very good thing.

I think COD4... You play through the whole game with your team and then you get to the end and after what happens its just like you lost a REAL friend.kgansor

Oh yes, I forgot all about COD4. After the ending I just sat there and tried to fathom what the hell just happened.

KOTOR and Mass Effect.

On my first play through of RPGs like that I try to make the decisions that I would make if I was really in that situation. Because of that I get really attached to the characters and the story. When bad things happen or i'm forced to do something that I really don't want to do to a character, it actually makes me feel bad for a few minutes afterward.

KOTOR SPOILER!!!!!!

Having to kill Mission was something that I really really didn't want to do and I remember it bothering me for the rest of the game.

I was to say going Paper mario:the thousand year door but i think that game just made me feel good dont remember it really playing with my emotions. let me look at some of the games on my gamer tag....

....ok so i came up with eternal sonota, saints row, bioshock and too human(not in a good way)

metal gear solid 4, only if u played the other metal gears though.

when sunny said "when will snake be back?"= tear's almost...

Bioshock, Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, you know all the typical games.

But I'm really going to say Eternal Sonata. This game is actually my favorite on the system. And the story was quite touching. The ending (all 45 minutes of it) was very well done and made you wonder, plus the characters tugged at your heart strings.

Halo 3 was like a punch in the face for me. If you haven't played it all the way through, stop reading here, NOW.

Anyways...here's the thing...I've played Campaign mode on Halo (all 3, combined) for a grand total of an hour, because I never owned an XBox until I got a 360 a few days ago.

BUT, my cousin, all my friends, and one of my husbands, are all major Halo freaks. My husband is so obsessed that he buys the books the day they're released, spends a lot of time writing fan fiction in his head, had his own Halo clan, etc. You get the idea.

So I've heard the stories of Master Cheif, Cortana, the Covenant, etc. as though they were tales of treasured friends.

So, my hubby & I stay up and go to Wal Mart at 6am to buy Halo 3 on opening day. No problem. We borrowed my cousin's XBox and are ready to roll. I start falling asleep after 2 hours, so he puts me to bed and keeps playing.

A few hours later, he comes in and wakes me up and starts telling me what I missed. Then he gets to the "end", IE: the memorial service. And he mutters "And the monument had 117 carved into it", and immediately tears are bursting from my eyes and my chest is tightening.

Because it's Master Chief. He CAN NOT die. Not after everything. Not after getting Cortana back. No, no, NO!

So, when he looks up at me with tears in his eyes and whispers "John died", I am wailing like an idiot.

Seriously, it was a pathetic sight to behold, because ya' know, he's crying because his idol is dead and I'm balling my head off over a character that I've never really played that much.

I dunno if it's like Emo Nerd Rage or what, but yeah, it was really sad.

However, I knew he couldn't be dead, and immediately popped onto Google and found out about the REAL ending...buahahah!

So yeah, I'm an overly emotional idiot who takes her games too seriously :) This isn't the only game that's made me emotional, but because of my lack of XBox-ness, it's the only XBox one I can really claim.

lol huh

Lost Oddsey, Mass Effect, and Phantasy Star Universe (thats just for the XB360, The main three iMO are FF7, FF8, and FF10 they do wonders for me)dengel54

Whew your right about that lost oddsey man

Shadow Of The Colossus ending.knolte4fun

Nice. Ico for me...Fin.

Mass effect. The story and the music made it a very emotional game.

especially after some of the decisions.

On 360? Mass Effect. There were some great moments in that game, like talking to Sovereign for the first time, or hearing the Prothean's story from the AI in their mass tomb. The most emotional experiences in Mass Effect, however, where with your squadmates. You get to know the main characters very well, and I for one really came to care about what happened to them. Then you have to make decisions that put them in danger. That's something that a person in my line of work (military) has to deal with, and it was impressive seeing it done so thoughfully in a game.

Outside of 360, Baldur's Gate. I've never played a game that was so epic, but so personal. Same comment for Torment and Knights of the Old Republic.

On a completely different note, I should I say I almost cried the first time I played Quake. The graphics were so stunning.

Oh, and I did find the ending of Halo 3 touching, where he goes to sleep, saying "Wake me, when you need me," and she just watches him in the dark.

On Xbox360 I will go with Mass Effect - it seems a popular choice! For me though, by the end of that game I really CARED about my character. I played with a female Shepherd (I am a girl!) and I loved her, she was hard as nails!! :lol:

Of all time I would have to say ICO - man that game was beautiful!

Metal Gear Solid 4
