So Gears of War made my Girlfriend cry

[Nomanslander]

Since when did Gears' story become a tear jerker?

I thought Gears was all about the...

 

[Kurokami]

Women?

The life long question. One day we'll figure it out.

 

[Nouw]

I cried at that point I think. If you mean the death of the Stormtrooper bit. I didn't like wail, just dropped few tears

 

[Kurokami]

I teared up a bit when

Spoiler

your family gets killed in the human origin in Dragon Age. Especially when you find Fergus's son dead, after refusing to teach him how to use a sword the day before.

Damn you, Bioware *sniff*

OT: If she's crying at Gears, you should let her play FFVII. End of disk one waterfalls, my boy.

You've just made me cry that I hadn't played through all the origin stories. (I was human but mage)

(Spoiler?->)
This is pretty off topic but how good was the stories, particularly for the character origins, I really liked seeing my brother play through the Dwarf noble story, only to consistently say something along the lines of "What's the point of helping them? They're all gonna f***ing stab me in the back anyway!". It was hilarious

 

[Mister Awesome]

fuck gears of war 2 made me cry on a few occasions, it was probably the part with dom and his wife

 

[Cowabungaa]

I nearly cried at that scene too, that shit was just harsh. And yes, I too second that I'm glad she didn't walk in on the worm bit. Or even worse, the bit where you're inside the worm.

Awesome.

I got Shadow of the Colossus for christmas.

My ENTIRE family watched me play through the first 5 or 6 colossi without telling me to stop using the tv. It struck them heavily. From that day on they never criticized my video game playing.

This only makes me more and more curious to Shadow of the Colossus, even though I already sort-of know what's going to happen in that game (don't spoil anything though, I might be wrong). Dammit Sony, give that game an HD remake.

That scene made her cry? You need to get yourself a less sensitive girlfriend. If my (theoretical) girlfriend cried over something like that I'd dump her for being a wuss.

My girlfriend cried because I killed a moth. Yeah.

I don't think I've ever managed to emotionally involve any family in my gaming but quite often I'll be playing a game on the Xbox, and when my mother comes in she's always like 'Wow, those graphics are amazing. It almost looks real'.

Moths are God's children, you monster.

Anyway, I wish I could make my family care about video games. My dad will occasionally appreciate a game's graphics, but that's as far as he'll go.

Heh, nice try with the edit but I saw the foul murderer comment ^^
It was a tiny one which would've died accidentally scraping its wing on something anyway.

End of Half Life 2: Episode Two.

That shit was sad, closest to crying I've been in a game.

You forget, she then played Gears of War 2, a lot.

Sometimes, ends justify the means, if her being too sensitive led to her playing Gears...

This.

What the hell? It's not even dramatic, especially if you haven't sat through the rest of the game first.

Now I'm a pretty emotional person, but no game I've played (except one) has ever rocked me to the point where I felt chocked up. And that wasn't Dragon Age or Mass Effect or any other game where you might expect immersion to do the trick. No. It was Metro 2033.

i Recommended the game to my Sister and she called me right after she made it to this scene..whats cool is that Gears of War is seen as a masculine game but still manages to have a strong effect on a whole of society. I like how games play with emotions for me it creates a lasting affect

Women love drama. So what? I don't see how it could be implemented into other titles...

Bowser: You may have defeated me, but i still win this. I crippled Peach. She will never be able to move again. Her castle will be her new cell. Mouhahahahahaha!
Peach: Mario... Mario. I can't feel my body anymore.
Mario: Ev...every.. snif... Everything will be all right. All you need is a mushroom, princess. You hear me.
Peach: I won't be able to rule my kingdom like this.
Mario: BBBOOOOOOOOWWWWWWSSSSSEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

So today i was replaying Gears of War 2, my Girlfriend came downstairs just to insult the game and me lol i had just reached a very sad part of the game (not gonna spoil it you'll know what i mean if you played)and after watching it my Girlfriend Mary proceeded to cry...

Spoiler: My reaction to the above story

I don't get it. I wonder what she would've done during an actual dramatic scene. Gears of War makes woman cry...It should be a headliner. Of all the games with dramatic scenes, it HAD to be gears.

Still awesome how an experience like that, converts your girlfriend to fight against dinosaur related mole-people with you.

I never cried because of a game. The only game that should have made me (FF7) failed because of wrongly proportions and years of playing Sonic the Hedgehog. I'll explain.

You are a women so I'm pretty sure you know where your heart is located. Watch that scene.
Look where the sword came out. Its about 2 inch below the breast. He didn't hit her heart, he hit her stomach. That said, her dead is funny because when you think about it, she could have been fix.(not plot wise, a sacrifice was needed to call holy) So, she died by drowning. I can't see that scene:

Spoiler: Without that song:

 

[ThePizzaGuy556]

I have to say that part in FF7 was dramatic back when i first played it a few years back but now for me it seems to have like no affect...i better go replay this ***** 0_0

Ah, I just edited it because I thought "monster" sounded cooler in the quote than the old fashioned "foul murderer."

Still, moths are awesome.

Awesome.

Okay I know SotC was meant to be very emotional, but it really did that?
Holy shit, I have to check it out. Like... now. I was always planning on getting it at some point, but I kept putting it off. Not any more.

 

[ThePizzaGuy556]

i Might have to go get SotC as from what ive heard before was that it was a sucky game with no story but i guess ill have to play it and see for myself

 

[WilliamRLBaker]

I did too...I dont care what anyone says your with that game from game one, hearing dom talk of his wife and all this and he finds her and...*tears up*

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

Now imagine if you got her to play Lost Odyssey.

My sister did, she cried several times during the course of the game, and said the dreams were some of the most emotional things she has ever read.

I love that game!
