Biggest emotional response?

[ShadeOfRed]

A game hasn't really made me feel a huge rush of emotion recently, but FF6 really took the cake.

Spoiler

From Cyan's entire kingdom being poisoned, just Gau, Kefka's destroying the world right to the very end where you "sound like you're from some self-help book."

Biggest? Hard to say, I've played a lot of games.

Off the top of my head, however, Final Fantasy 7.

My biggest emotional response was when

Spoiler

Tai Dies in Gears 2

Seriously, that got me pretty good.

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.

It's funny though. He was actually the only character I didn't want to die.
Also surprising he died due to one thing. He wasn't red-shirted at all other than being a new character.

Other than that I'm pretty much an emotionless jerk who giggles when my allies die if for no reason other than they are in my way when alive.

The part in Bioshock when you enter Andrew Ryan's office, I began to question whether it is fate or choice. It is safe to say it freaked me out.

This.

Zeno clash was awesome and that part where auxometer (or however you spell it) ran in to a tree made me sad.

This experience I havent shared with anyone, for it was too emotionally scarring for me. I was playing Fallout 3, following Liberty Prime with Dogmeat at my side. Dogmeat got a little over zealous and charged ahead to attack an Enclave soldier, and a stray beam from Liberty Prime blew dogmeat into a thousand little dog-bits. I had to pause the game and give myself a moment.

take a good look at my avatar, it's pretty self explanatory

I would have to say mine was with Condemed my first time playing it the first thing that ran at me I screamed...... I played it at like 2 in the morning and woke up everyone in the house when I did.

Playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. : Shadow of Chernobyl and getting the fake ending where you go blind. That just gave me such weird feeling because I was so immersed in the game and that was what I wanted to ask to the wish granter too. It felt like the game read my mind!

In Crimson Sea...
That romantic bit with Sho and Shami.

And in KOTOR II...
When Visas reveals her feelings for the (male) Jedi Exile.

I know that this doesn't exactly bring the manliness out of me, but...well...

Screw off.

on fallout 3, there's a place called the dunwich building, and as you enter deeper and deeper into the building, you find a man's holotapes and you can listen to him try to find his father, yet slowly turn into a ghoul as he goes deeper into it. finally he finds his father, who has become one of the ghouls, and he becomes one as well. that one ate at me a little bit.

hmm... i honestly don't know... I imagine if any game triggered an emotional response it was FF3 but i can't think of a specific case.

 

[WrcklessIntent]

I'm gonna have to agree with the nuke stage in CoD4. I was just like why... when i was playing it and then i went into a massive berserker fury in the next mission

 

[TheOnceandFutureKing]

I could make a joke about Devil May Cry here (you know what scene I'm talking about)but if I had to pick one video game moment that gets to me its in No More Heroes when Dr.Peace is singing if for no other reason then I like that song.

 

[SebZero]

Tales of Symphonia, either when

Spoiler

Zelos dies

or when

Spoiler

everyone has their own "self-sacrifice" scene. Those really tore at me. Except Regal's. "You shall not pass." Just made me laugh.

When that dick Imran Zakhaev shoots Gaz in the head. when Price threw me his peashooter, i emptied all 3 clips on him. Lets just say ive never been happy of Russians, so this didnt help the bastard one bit.

 

[Disaster Button]

The "A Slave Obeys" scene in Bioshock, powerful stuff.

i found it amusing. nukes can go fuck themselves. Zakhaev killing Gaz was a sin in FAR higher scales.
