A game that went to your heart?

[blood77]

The first KH where Kairi and Sora are on that little spit of land, finally reunited, but suddenly things start going to hell and they break apart.

Sora: I'll find you!
Kairi: I know you will!
Me: *bawls* YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO THEM!

Also the ending scene of FFX where Yuna runs towards Tidus but he's already fading and so she runs right through him and collapses on the deck of the ship. That really got to me, as well as Auron walking off during Yuna's final Sending, while his theme plays and he fades away.

Lastly ... the last scene of FF9 where Zidane surprises Garnet by being the cloaked figure in the play. It was girly and probably seen from a mile away, but it made me tear up. I was so happy for them. XD;;

My feelings for KH can be sum up with this:

But as far as the main topic no I have never had a game tug at my heart strings.

Hey everybody
what game shot your heart? A game that just pounded its way into your heart and stays there until today?
For me I would say 2 games and series
First game: Shadow of Memories: This game totally knocked me over, I really didn´t know what it was about. Then I found out it was about cheating death and a really intersting plot in my opinion albeit a bit confusing hehe
Second game: Project Zero (Fatal Frame): I loved and still love this game for being so damn scary and being the gaming imbodyment of Japanese horror
Third: The Ace Combat series: I don´t know why but this game series just nailed it for me, I loved flying around and I love the stories in it as well and I think that I most of the games you actually connect with your fellow aces even your enemies (Ohh Sundred skies how I loved thee)

How about you guys and girls?

I can agree with you on Ace Combat, good stories there.

But Halo 3 is what i <3 the most.

Hey everybody

Umm, well I can't say I know exactly what you're after, but I guess if I interpretate it as a game which I instantly loved and still cherish today, I'd say Sacrifice. A weird blend of third person RPG and RTS, sort of like Warcraft 3 played from a World of Warcraft perspective.

I got the game with my old computer, along with No One Lives Forever and some other game I can't recall the name of. I played NOLF and ignored the others, then a few years later I decided to give them a chance. The latter game was like it's title forgettable and dull, but Sacrifice... I played through the tutorial and was mildy amused, but once I was done and started on the single player campaign... holy cow! The story gripped me instantly, and the freedom to choose which missions to play got me instantly hooked. I had no idea.

Now, to be honest I don't play it that often, but it has a special place in my heart, because no other game has been so suprising. I mean, I was expecting zero from this game, but it turned out to be a fantastic title.

Every day I find a new thread about the game that you loved most, or the game that touched your heart, or the game that could make you cry, or the game with the best sound track...

And you know what?

Every time it comes up, I always answer the same: The Baldur's Gate series. I laughed, I could have cried (Oh Jaheira! Unleash your wrath on Jon for what he did you Khalid!), I was awed, I was shocked, and most importantly: I was entertained. Truly...truly entertained. I've said it before, I just said it now, and I'm sure to say it again: The Baldur's Gate series is the best RPG series I've ever played, and I'm beginning to think it'll never be topped.

Oddworld.

Seconded. The first Metal Gear Solid as well. ALl the Sonic the Hedgehogs up to SOnic Adventure. The first Silent Hill. And Robotron 2084.

 

[ZforZissou]

Half Life 2 if only for the music.
And visuals
and story
...and everthing else...

I agree with everything you just said.

 

[aRealGuitarHero707]

I'm gonna throw out the ending to Final Fantasy X, no matter what gets accomplished in the game, knowing that the two main characters will never be together really hits home
plus the soundtrack for the game is one of the best for Final Fantasy period

I would say the thief series. I loved those games so much that I play a thief class whenever I play an RPG. I'm serious, THAT'S how influential they were on me.

- Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, pretty much a given.
- Doom 1 and 2: Also a given.
- Battlezone Series, the two games here (not the Atari version, and DEFINITELY not the Battlezone for the PSP, thats not Battlezone) are not exactly the same, but are related. Anyway, I love the gameplay dynamics of both games, the storyline in the first, and the graphics of the second. Plus the ease of modability, combined with the challenge of working around the non-released sourcecode, make these games a complete favorite for me.

I know this is different but Mass Effect.
while in my first play through i didn't know you either killed Wrex or talked him out of killing you. I'm like no no onono non don't die seriously I re-loaded 4 times trying not to kill him. I was very annoyed, so I re-started maxed charm and saved him =D I was happy again.

lol I know fkin sad but hell if I'm gonna play a game I might as well enjoy it.

 

[El_Zilcho]

Shadow of the Colossus, the bleakness, beauty and isolation that came with the environment as well as the interesting take on gameplay and storytelling really made it a special game in my eyes.

 

[Keivz]

Panzer Dragoon Saga. If you've played the game, then you know why. If not go to:

and download the 'Goodbye' clip, to see why.

Planescape: Torment. It had me at the intro sequence. After that I never wanted to put it down again.

 

[Dommyboy]

Lost Odyssey - If you actually take the time to read the dream sequences you end up feeling amazingly sorry for Kaim and the other immortals. Sad, sad stuff.

The writing in the dreams were absolutely brilliant. Brought a tear to my eyes more than once.

 

[Hoppetussa]

No More Heroes and Wild Guns.

 

[The_Deleted]

Shadow of Memories was fantastic.

 

[ragecandybar]

Definitely Majora's Mask, and most specifically, the Song of Healing from it.

It gets me every time. :'(
