Probably, but I've been able to put my shoes in their place before and feel it. The feeling is obviously stronger with real life events, but that's life. I suppose I just know it's bits of code and data, which doesn't affect me as much. Which is surprising that I felt anything at all, as I am generally - while in Role-playing Games a saint, but - a maniacal master-fiend of proportions unheard of in games like Saints Row. The defibrillator is my friend.Eythan said:Your not a horrible personMr. Grey said:Geeze, I don't know if I want to play this game anymore... that was depressing.
I enjoy Dead Rising 2 because it goes over the top, it's whacky with a touch of tension and everything seems to stick. But that... that I don't know if I can go through in a game, generally speaking I play to be entertained not holding myself in the fetal position crying out of sadness -- I prefer to cry out of fear, thank you very much. It did actually reach me, though, so that's worth something.
But man, that bummed me out.
[sub]For the record, I didn't cry... but I probably should have and that I didn't makes me a horrible person.[/sub]i will admit this is quite a sad trailer, I myself don't have any kids so I dont know how it can feel to imagine that it was your little girl or something but yeah, i would imagine that this would be worse to parents than to people without children?
And after reading the below post...
... I have to say you certainly know how to sell the game. In fact, reading your post pretty much confirmed I should pick it up as I'd actually like to see if they can take this seriously. Most of these games never are, which is disappointing -- to an extent, Dead Rising 2 is fun after all. But yeah, I was taken aback by it -- especially given I've played Dead Rising 2 as the latest zombie game and the premise came off as it but grittier. Guess I didn't know it was going for an honest atmosphere too.XxRyanxX said:I just want to let you know- you're not a horrible person for not crying. It just means you dealt with it differently. Everyone has their own way with taking things in, which even the ones who do not cry can feel worse then someone who does cry. Just depends all the same.Mr. Grey said:-SNIP-
Besides that, I agree with you- the video is literally tragic and one of the first trailers I ever saw of an upcoming game that actually got to me. Not some awesome action scene, or a funny ad.. it literally took me by surprise with how sad and moving it was. Not to mention making it based on Zombies is a big props to the Company that was able to make this meaningful. I actually teared, because they actually showed emotion and didn't censor the girl being attacked. That's not common at all in games, believe me.
Dead Rising was cool of course, and I really enjoy playing Left 4 Dead (1 and 2) because they are crafty with the Zombie invasion. This game however.. will show much promise, more then what games aim for (like graphics, fun, entertainment, ect.) I can take this as an actual movie if I felt like seeing the game as that. Anyhow, we're only human so just be yourself
OT: If the Dad saw this, he must of been pretty hurt to see that girl in the game die, thus thought of his daughter so his reaction was expected. However, if he stood in watch, he probably embraced the idea and probably will show love and support for his daughter, caring more about her cause anything can happen. I sure would of done that no doubt. Just can't wait for this game and see how much depth it goes into overall.
Still, I'll miss the ability to attach a machete to a broomstick. If only I could dress up as an elderly janitor... I'd be living a story that should be told.
