...Am I the only one who completely missed any sort of connection to the Companion Cube? To me, it was just another cube like the ones I'd been given before, only with hearts on it. Did I just miss something?Cucumber said:
I felt sad during Gears of War 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode 2. I've never cried during a game though.
The only movie I've cried during was watching Of Mice & Men when I was around 10 years old.

I cried at the end of Final Fantasy 9-- not ashamed to admit it. That last cut-scene was just so touching.
I personally lived myself into the Portal experience so much that I felt like one with the main character. And GlaDOS constantly tells you that it's your friend. It is also the only thing in the game that actually wont look like it will hurt. I also believe the Cube is the only thing colored with a warm color (pink) in the test chambers. Everything else was just white...orannis62 said:
And thats why I loved the Cube. It really felt like your only friend...
I got as immersed in the Portal experience as anyone else, but I can't empathize with an inanimate cube just because the robot trying to kill me tells me to. If it was the only cube, as in, none of those storage cubes existed, then I'd have felt connected, but to me it was just another cube with the only outstanding things about it being a heart on it and being told to love it. I just don't get it.Cucumber said:
No, I felt that way about the cube to (i.e. didn't feel anything at all).orannis62 said:
On the topic of crying: AFAIK I have never cried during a game. Though certain painful scenes in some games have been known to bring back events from my own life which cause near-tear situations.
But why shouldn't it be ok? There's the huge push for women's rights and crap like that, but suddenly if a man is emotional about something he has invested a lot of time in, there is a problem if he cries about it!? Sounds like someone was pushing for some ratings.
Fair enough. I just wish that I could understand it, because some people I've talked to go on like it was the best relationship in the history of gaming, and I feel like I'm missing out.Cucumber said:
1) No I've never cried over a video game
2) Yes if the story is really that good but, if you're crying because of something stupid like... your favorite neighbor in Animal Crossing moved away then no.

I've not cried during a game or a movie, but I have cried before, so I know it's in there waiting to happen.
And sure, crying is a perfectly healthy reaction.

1) Yea, I sweezed a tear down my face for games for various reasons, weather its for the amount of time I have spent on a game, or being conected to a character that died.
2) Its sure as hell okay to cry, its called being human
Ohh and Hi everyone
