I see that this is a really old thread, but I had to make an account just so I could comment. I go through this with nearly every good game I play. I am going through this really bad right now for I just beat The Last of Us. It's nice to see that I am not the only one who goes through this, and I like the idea that it is that we become attached to the characters, plot, and world after inviting them into our lives every day for some time. inFAMOUS 2, Assassin's Creed III, L.A. Noire, Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 2 (havent played 3rd yet), Heavy Rain, Indigo Prophecy, MGS 4, Dishonored...the list goes on and on. I love playing the games, and I get really excited when I get close to beating them, excited for the conclusion, always forgetting about that empty feeling that comes with it until it finally hits me. I actually go online and do searches about the endings of the games to see what others thought, it keeps me feeling like I'm still a part of it's world some how. I can't play the game again though to get rid of the feeling, like you guys said, it's never the same. Like with Heavy Rain, I [spoiler] screwed up the first time and got Shawn killed by going to the wrong location. I replayed the last part so I could get the location right, but the cutscene of him being dead is the one that kept in my mind as the one that actually happened, and that's how the world went.
