In DA:O in the city elf orrigin (female in my case) My charachter wasnt exactlaly as thrilled as her fiancee about getting married to him, but he was nice enough
anyway when she gets kidnapped along with the other elves he comes in trying to save you and gets killed
anyway thats the REAL thing however is after its all over and you get recruited and all that..you have a "wedding ring" in your inventory.....its just a weird kind of thing, It didnt feel right selling it even though you can, I actually held onto it in memory of him, even though it was obvious my charachter didnt actually love him
that and in Red faction Gurrella I'm having moral delemas..aparently doesnt earth need the rescources on mars? I mean I feel for the people who are suffering on earth..I know this is kind of silly, but it feels kind of like AVATAR when if you think about it the main charachter is pretty much say "nah fuck earth, I wanna live with the blue people!" but Im sure its not the same thing here

Everyone I know felt nothing at that final scene those heartless jerksSoranMBane said:Wheatley's betrayal in Portal 2 hit me really hard. It was the first time the whole betrayal twist had actually felt like a betrayal, because I'd genuinely become attached to him and because it obviously wasn't premeditated; things just sort of happened that way, and up until that point he'd genuinely been trying to help me. I couldn't help but break down crying when he apologized at the end.
In God of War 2, when you accidentally kill the last spartan. I realized then that Kratos is the last spartan, and I felt sad. But it didn't take long for that to turn into rage, and made me want to slaughter Zeus all the more.
Weirdly, a couple of things from Saint's Row 2. I re-discovered them while finally playing the game through without cheats:
When taking down the Brotherhood, the mission where their gang kidnaps Carlos and drags him along by a chain behind one of their trucks. The cutscene when you stop them but he's already dead is just... I didn't even like Carlos that much but it still made me sad.
Again, the Brotherhood missions. When you kidnap Maero's girlfriend Jessica and stuff her in the trunk of a car before Maero crushes it with his monster truck. It actually made me hate The Boss a little bit. Killing her yourself is one thing, but making him unknowingly do it then walking away smiling to yourself while he mourns for her is just twisted.
Aisha dying to save Gat's life, then him getting stabbed in the ensuing fight scene. Even though Aisha didn't do much in the story, her getting killed by that Ronin chronie was pretty damn sad.
At the graveyard, where Gat just beats the shit out of the kid who was running the Ronin then stuffs him in a coffin and buries him alive.
This would have been for me too, except for the fact that i happened to have left a boom shield on the exact spot where his wife is, so he delivers all his lines to a shield and hugs it and everything. I lol'd so hard.Lord Beautiful said:
Sorry, but I figured with games as old as Final Fantasy 6 and 7 the people who don't already know what happens will likely never find out as they are probably not fans. That said, I didn't know the spoiler code until not too long after my post.Thaius said:
By the way, do you know how to change the text in the spoiler box? I don't want it to read "Spoiler: Click to View".
Hmmm, the start of Mass Effect 2 really through me for a loop. Seeing my ship blown up wasn't easy to watch. But in terms of real emotion, like, almost tears: Heavy Rain. Practically the whole game, but the impending death and/or death of a child really bugs me out and when it's your kid involved, it just, ugh. makes me all weepy and stuff.
The entire bit were you go up to Jenny's apartment in the beginning of The Darkness unexpectedly provoked a lot of emotions in me, and it really attached me to Jackie's character. It was the experience that really sucked me into the game, and since I felt a connection to Jackie all the way from that early stage, it made the story really appeal to me.
I really hope the sequel doesn't get cocked up

Well yes, obviously. That's an obvious part of the character of them in the game, but that's not the point. I know they were brainwashed, but does that change why they were an emotional part of the game for me? Negatory.creationis apostate said:
I just know that some people are still catching up: I only played FFVI about a year ago. It's one of the best games I've ever played, but I wasn't playing games when it came out, so I didn't get to it until now. Admittedly the Aerith thing is pretty common knowledge, but still. I'm a writer myself, so I'm harder on spoilers than most people because I know how upset I would be if I put tons of work into making a story effectively surprise someone and people just found out beforehand.KaizokuouHasu said:
And yeah, here:
Again, just take out the asterisk and you'll be good to go.
I don't think one evil act makes a person evil, personally. I feel like there are shades of gray. It's implied from that news article that she finally snapped after his abuse and stabbed him in self-defense-- yeah, she went way too far with about 36 stabs, but she was freaking out in the heat of the moment. Plus, she feels insanely guilty about it-- it's not like she killed him without regret. Because of this, in part, she constantly mentions how she's a bad person and eventually kills herself.Mackheath said:
TL;DR: She had several good reasons to do what she did and still felt bad about it after it happened-- this, I feel, means she isn't an evil person.
Portal 2... a few parts.
I'd also say several parts of Mass Effect 2 got to me... watching the Normandy go, of course. Then there were the loyalty missions, all of them were pretty touching in one way or another. Thane's romance path also had me choked up a couple times. And, of course, getting through the end of the game with no casualties, and saving the crew, that was a moment of true greatness.
When GLaDOS was being pulled into that pit and started screaming. I wasn't exactly a fan of Wheatley- he was slightly annoying but entertaining- and I did not want to stick the little idiot in charge. After he put GLaDOS into a potato and started going mad with power... well, revenge was the only thing I wanted. I was pretty happy to see Wheatley got stuck in space, and that ultimately, GLaDOS did win.
Atlas and P-Body. Just Atlas and P-Body, the whole development of human traits as they go along. Especially since it was me and my brothers playing, we always had fun trying to kill each other, but the best moment was when you earned the 'hug' action. We were going in blind, and had to figure it out on our own, so that part was just a little more emotional than it should have been.

xD that's awesome. I don't think I've ever had something glitch like that.Derek_the_Dodo said:
