When I ask for / respect whatever you have to say I'll let you know, until then don't butt into these pathetic arguments that don't concern you - particularly if you're going to be so patronising - you haven't played the game in question and therefore don't understand why I am challenging the other persons comment - an opinion can be wrong, when someone does not understand something about the game in question and therefore is making an opinion based on something they do not understand as is the case here.Angerwing said:
That was one horrible scene... It felt so real because of the great way how the character was introduced and written.darknight910 said:
I belong to the generation that played FF7 when it first came out. So for me Aeris' Death wasn't as streched as it's now.

COD MW2 where that CIA guy you're playing gets shot. Way better than the part where commander A'hole Shepard betrays you without a reason
Gundam Side Story, for the Dreamcast. When you kill Veesh in the final mission. And in Zelda: Link to the Past the boy with the flute, when he turns into a dead tree.
roach and ghosts' deaths in MW2
miranda keyes' death in halo 3
king cailin and duncan in dragon age
wrex in mass effect (it was my choice... but he was gonna mess up my best made plans)

L.... for fucks sake, best anime character ever
First of all, you seemed to butt into his opinion sharing with no problem, so why can't I butt into this?D_987 said:
He didn't enjoy a certain convention of the game, and that made him not want to continue with the game. That's his opinion. You can't turn around and say "But that part of the game makes sense, you MUST love that part of the game." Because it just doesn't work like that. You don't have to understand anything in this situation. A part of the game of the game he didn't like. He's not wrong about that, and just because some fanboy tells him his opinion is wrong, doesn't mean his opinion will ever change. This isn't something he misunderstood, but something he didn't enjoy. And if you say he's wrong about that, then you're thicker than I thought.
You need an answer - go look at his original reply to my comment - I can't recall the exact page but it's around somewhere and it warranted a response - as did his reply after that - it's called a debate. What disrupts a decent debate are people that come in and disrupt it - especially when they know nothing themselves.Angerwing said:

Actually you're wrong...again... - his initial response was "I didn't like this game it was emo". Slightly different from what you're saying. Besides which, an opinion is one thing, bashing a game because he doesn't understand it is different - this again stems back to the fact you have o idea what we were discussing and therefore can't properly engage in discussion bar repeating petty lines about opinion.
Nope, but calling a game "emo", most certainly does warrant discussion, such as "how"?.
No - he's saying he didn't enjoy the game because he didn't understand it - hence the whole debate in the first place, in which I corrected his more moronic comments.
Heh, that is sly, your basically saying "if you argue back and prove my flimsy argument about an argument I know nothing about, about a game I know nothing about wrong, then your thick". Nice one - real classy, you're still wrong though - no amount of bullshit can hide it.

This is what he said.
See that? That there's a reason as to why he didn't like the game. That's purely opinion based. I know you're confrontational, argumentative, but really you're just arguing a pointless point. If he doesn't enjoy the game, then that's it. No need to go on a tirade of abuse at the guy for expressing his opinion. Saying he's what's wrong with gaming because he didn't enjoy a game, and denounced that game when it was relevant?
Back to:
I see what you did there. First of all, he bashed an aspect of it which he didn't like. Perhaps he didn't understand it, perhaps they didn't implement it well into the game. I don't know.
But "repeating petty lines about opinion", I guess you're right. Opinion is way over-rated. Now I'm going to leave this forum to read Twilight and take cocaine. I don't really want to, but who cares about 'wants' anymore.
Why, thank you.Dr. Paine said:
Really? That's interesting, and I may actually feel motivated to play X-2 now. Have they linked the Ivalice-verse to VII yet? Because my pet theory was that Cloud's appearance in FTT was time travel, and Aeris's church was a Church of Glabados, and I was sort of hoping it would be canon eventually for the sheer irony value.
On topic, you got me thinking about another gaming death that made me very sad, and that was
Anima. This isn't so much one moment the game throws in your face so much as it is having a bit of time to think about what the game's told you about her and piecing it together. First, she and her kid are exiled by her husband for political reasons. Then she comes down with a terminal illness, and noting that her son has next to no chance of ever being accepted by society devises a plan in which she will sacrifice what is left of her life to give her son the ability to temporarily kill Sin. He'll die too, but he'll be remembered as a hero. Then they actually make it to the place where all this is supposed to happen, and the crazy undead chick in charge of the process tells them it's pointless. Anima goes through with it anyway, but her son (who is like, eight, maybe ten at the time) decides that he doesn't want to be a part of something that killed his mom for no real reason and spends the next two decades going crazy, ultimately becoming the major villain of the game.
So by the time you actually see her, the symbolic representation of her soul looks like something out of Hellraiser, and her dying words (which really brought the whole thing home, thus the thread relevance) are "Thus I atone." All the aeon deaths are sort of sad, but "Thus I atone?" Dear God that's bleak.
...Way to turn my feeling of heroic triumph into my feeling like the cop in "suicide by cop" Anima. Seriously.

There's a much more delicious way of solving that one..Joos said:
When Mission goes "I know there is still good inside you! Don't do this!" over you executing her, reply "You.. you're right."
The next conversation alternative gives you this gem:
"I can't kill you, Mission. However, Zalbaar can if I ask him to. Zalbaar.. kill Mission."
Wookie life-debts are interesting things.

I never felt more dark-side than at that point.
I think when Big boss finally died at the end of Metal Gear Solid 4. I cried a bit when that happened...he was such a cool character..>
But roach and ghosts death in mw2 was extremly suprising. I thought shepard was gonna help you. Instead he pulls out a pistol and shots you in the stomech.

Jenny in The Darkness. It was just kind of... Unexpected. The way that you're held back by the Darkness and you're just forced to watch is kind of awful. The Darkness taunting you afterwards makes it worse too.
And then Jackie kills himself as well.
Bit of a Player Punch. XD
