What game has evoked the most emotion in you?

[Rockman900]

The story of ME1 and ME2 were indeed great, but for me not really that emotional.

I remember when I first felt like: 'OMFG'. The climax in KOTOR1. I mean, really man, that stuff was emotional. I played a good guy and those bastards should not have laid a finger on Bastilla...

Since then my emotional responses to games are very very rare. Yeah I was 'struck' with the ending of CoD4, but it wasnt emotional. I just need to get a feeling from the crew with who you fight with, usually I cant care any less.

 

[Tharwen]

Yes. When someone ended my minesweeper game this morning. I was livid.

 

[aarontg]

FF7......kidding, Id'e say dragon age origins as I accually found the characters interesting and I accually cared about what they thought of me.

 

[Tarranium]

My emotions came up in the ending of Dragon age.

And in Mass effect 2 all my guys died and it was a first playthrough also all of them were loyal and Jack was my romance.

The end of Halo 3.

Fallout games endings.

 

[Billion Backs]

Arkanoid

Noooo DOH, you monster!

 

[UnusualStudios]

Pokemon Rescue Team, the end bit. Or Mass Effect

 

[Dapsen]

Brütal Legend.

Spoiler: Big plot spoiler, if you haven't played it/played it through.

When Ophelia jumped into the sea of black tears

It made me quite sad, and slightly depressed.
+The music (Mr. Crowley i think it was) matched the scenario perfectly.

Fallout games endings.

Same with the DA:O and Halo, only games that made me feel emotional.

That may be because i don't play many games...

 

[WayOutThere]

In Mass Effect 2 when

Spoiler

Kelly Chambers dies. I had been working on a relationship with her all game and after seeing her die like that I felt genuine loss.

That is the only example in all my time gaming (nothing insubstantial) that I can think of.

 

[aubreym]

My absolute favorite would be "Grim Fandango"

an old game, but by god, it was so beautifully told and a wonderful adventure

 

[Kiju]

I'd say Ace Combat V, when Chopper dies.

It was that sort of...like...sadness/anger that fuels you on to seek revenge, and seek it out now. I don't think I've ever flown so well in a flight-sim.

Very...very few games can beat that one for storyline and drama. I'd love to see anyone try.

Final Fantasy X made me feel really good while playing it. I'm not sure what it was about it, but the entire game felt very good.

Nostalgia only makes it better, and remembering it reminds me of good times in my life.

Metal Gear Solid.

The whole series. Aside from the first one, I've cried in all of them.

4 especially. I actually just replayed all of them in a row and cried in all of them.

Not often you see a double ninja one after another, in the order I was going to say them.

On topic. I was never moved to tears in either game but both did draw me in, make give a shit about all the characters and not want to skip every cut scene, I actually looked forward to seeing the story progress.

me too, tidas dying

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

Actually no game in particular. I've never felt emotion in games...

Except in The elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Shivering isles expansion, in the Crucible of New Sheogh "Final Resting"... There's a man who asks you to kill him. After reading the little paper at the end of the quest and seeing the effects of the ring, I was just... I couldn't explain it. I was sad that I had killed him, even if that's what he wanted :/

 

[Penguinness]

Hmm can't really remember now. I remember bits from dragonage which I completed yesterday.

In the final stages of Dragonage

Spoiler

When you're about to set into Denerim to tackle the Archdemon, you get the final talks from all your party then you set off towards the gate with some good music blaring at you and soldiers lining either side cheering you on. That was quite good.

Another one from Dragonage

Spoiler

When you visit the werewolves and decide to go kill the elves. When I was masacaring their village alongside the werewolves I was grinning the whole time.

 

[PrototypeC]

No matter how sickeningly often I come around to Silent Hill, I find that it doesn't fill me with the same emotions anymore. They did the first time, but like every game I've ever played I rushed through it a little faster than I should have.

The game that gave me the most physical emotions and bittersweet memories was the full .hack// series. I found myself getting more and more involved and almost forgetting as I played that this was only a simulated MMORPG, and my comrades weren't real. I did everything I could in all those games, and unlocked things like more characters that I had to woo to get things from them or get e-mails from them. Characters died (fell into comas out-of-game) and human lives hung in the balance... there was devotion, heartbreak, comraderie... all those things that other games have tried to force on me without success. Some of my favourite characters I had to watch fade away and had to fight to win them back.

Oh yeah, those were memorable times.

Might want to add spoilers for those that haven't played the game yet.

Also, that part didn't actually move me that much, except that I knew the game was pretty much over at that point.

 

[mrfusspot]

World in Conflict, for exactly this scene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOK7r1pa74M]. Every time, I bawl like a baby.

Or the first Modern Warfare, during the

Spoiler

scene after the nuke drops

. First time playing through that, I just sat mouth agape for a second, thinking "Good, God."

 

[Dr. Paine]

... I'll just come out and say it, Metroid Prime made me cry.

Not much, but reading all the Chozo Lore at one time caused a few tears. It seems so damn cliche, but that game made it work. It's also the most immersive game I've played, to the point where I almost fell off the bed when fighting Meta Ridley and trying to dodge him.

Next in line would be a tie between Bioshock and Portal. Or, if we can count 'headwall inducing rage' as emotion, FFX.

Spoiler

Not the whole game itself, just Tidus. I have never been so happy to see a death <_<
