Biggest emotional response?

[Jerich0]

There's no denying that games have come a long way as far as storytelling and immersion are concerned, so I wanna know what event in what game caused in you the biggest emotional response? It can be happy, sad, pissed, whatever you want.

 

[APPCRASH]

Fallout 3 ending. Honestly no one told me and I didn't have a usable save to return to.

There was a fire fight.

 

[TheLastCylon]

Probably in Lost Odyssey

Spoiler

When Kaim's daughter dies

 

[Robert632]

the biggest emotional response i got was from mirror's edge, because i thought it looked stupid, but it was accualy quite enjoyable.(yes, i count surprise as an emotional response.)

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

Early morning on a Tuesday in Fallout 3. Dogmeat died.

I walked the wasteland as its only living inhabitant by the end of the week.

 

[Sporadic chaos]

Spoiler

Probably when Eli Vance gets killed at the end of HL2 Ep2.

 

[XSA37]

My biggest emotional response was when

Spoiler

Tai Dies in Gears 2

Seriously, that got me pretty good.

Oh god, that too. I'd forgotten about that one.

Ummm homicidal rage? Granted, I can't say much considering the fact that I had an hour to kill today and decided that killing off the entire populace of Megaton and robbing them was the way to go. (It was fun } )

 

[NeutralDrow]

It's a tie.

Tearjerking sadness: Tsukihime, Ciel's route, where Ciel tries to kill Shiki...and <color=white>can't make herself do it.

Utter horror: Tales of the Abyss, after Akzeriuth. Watching that little boy, trapped under his father's dead body, sinking slowly into the miasma while crying for help, and there's nothing you can do...

Absolute fury: Tales of Symphonia, Tower of Salvation. <color=white>Colette loses her soul, Remiel reveals what the Chosen's purpose is and points out just how stupid she and every other human is.

Yeah I mimicked Marcus in saying NOO!

I literally put down my controller and went "I don't want to fight anymore" Then the bullets started flying and I figured that it was time to not die.

I did the same thing in Fable 2 actually. It was hard to heal my dog in the middle of a huge fight and he died. So right after that I murdered everyone in Oakvale and restarted the game from my last save.

During Broken Steel during the large fight with the Enclave, Dogmeat died. I suddenly saw the message and I started turning into the crazy dude at the end of CoD: WaW going "YOU'RE GOING DOWN, YOU F**KS! YOU HEAR ME?!?!" and started shooting everything in sight. True story.

EDIT: The guy above me apparently had an angry response to his pet dying as well. The power of virtual dogs..

Also in Call of Duty 4.

Spoiler: Minor Spoiler

During All Ghillied Up, I saw the helicopter going for Captain MacMillan and it was crashing into him and I was going "NOOOOOOOOOO!!" then I saw he was alive and made sure no one else was in the room to see me reacting in such a way.

 

[Emphraim]

Cheesy and cliched thought it may be...

Spoiler

At the end of COD4, watching all your squad mates go down, grabbing that pistol and pumping them full of as many bullets as possible was less about beating the game and more some odd sort of duty to my fallen brothers.

Either this or the when you control the soldier who was hit by the nuke. I play mostly RTS and TBS games so I don't see many emotional events in a game's story.

 

[Valiance]

Losing free-for-alls 49 to 50 when you were ahead 49 to 42 and they got the quad damage.

 

[scnj]

The big twist and 'In Water' ending of Silent Hill 2. Tragic.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Definatelt Half Life 2, Episode 2.

Nothing's come close since.

Though there was a moment in Fallout 3 when you find the radio broadcast of the guy asking for someone tohelp him and his family. Finding them was a gut wrencher.

The skeletons of the couple lying on a car hand in hand as the bombs fell was moving too.

 

[grimsprice]

probably the ending of Shadow of the Colossus. maybe it wasn't sad but it was definitely emotional.
