      I know people that do, but I never have. I know a lot of people get emotional over kingdom hearts but I've never actually played it lol  :cry2:

        Has anyone else ever gotten really emotional over a video game?
        I know I was watching a trailer for Kingdom Hearts 2.5 remix and I was on the verge of tears.
        Just curious

        Just finished the prologue to The Last of Us - almost burst into tears. Graphics and acting are incredible in the game!

            Hmm.. I'm not na emotional person, i think frustration is the most common (you want to beat that boss no matter what, or pass that level) sor the uplifting I guess "journey" probably is one of the games that will make you have the feels.

              Final fantasy X and VII made me kind of sad. Powerful stories.

                It's rare for me to get emotionally invested in games, but it has happened a couple of times. Planescape: Torment is one example. It wasn't so much the main story that affected me, but the stories involving the side characters, especially Dak'kon's and Ignus'. Bioshock is another example. The whole fate of the splicers and many of the game's audio logs were quite touching. The sequels didn't really manage to come close to that, in my opinion.

                  I think as I've gotten older I have been getting more gripped by gaming. The first big one that I at least remember was in Final Fantasy 7 when Aeris dies. The music they played during that scene I can still do now. Great scene.

                    There's a lot more emotional / story-driven games on the market these days.

                    Life is Strange is a pretty good one if you can get past all the teen talk.

                      The post contains a little spoiler for FFVI ok?

                      I got emotional in FFVI, after the world gets changed. The way Celes was left alone with that man, and she feeds him until he dies. The thought of her getting into a high mountain and throw herself off the edge, was really powerful.

                            I've cried at the endings of so many video games. The most hard-hitting for me have been MGS3 and MGS4, Final Fantasy IX, and Nier (the original, not Automata, although I did cry at the end of Automata too)

                            I think part of it is the wistful "omg it's over" feeling that amplifies it for me, but also I think it's just generally easier for me to get emotionally invested in games (assuming they have a good narrative).

                              Silent Hill 2

                              ! , when we watch Maria die the first time I felt guilty about not being able to save her, I was shocked when she suddenly appears again unharmed as if nothing had happened at all.. and then that ending, so horrible and devastating, it made me feel empty inside.

                                Been getting emotional on Outlast 2 currently…BECAUSE IT'S SCARY AS FUCK.  I have felt nauseous a couple times lol

                                I suppose feeling sad would be Life is Strange.  Holy crap does that game really pull you into the story.

                                  Journey.

                                  A breath-taking game, you basically just walk through a desert, hoping to reach your destination. There is no talking in Journey, and there is no fighting. You walk and jump, and you let out a single tone…

                                  It seems like its nothing... but dear jesus, I was heavily invested on an emotional level by the time I reached the end.

                                    Kingdom Hearts has me invested each game.

                                      Final Fantasy 8, 9 and 10-2 (the 100% ending)
                                      Maria ending in Silent Hill 2

                                      I can't remember KH1, but I'm just going through with it right now, as I bought the 1.5+2.5 edition last month.

                                          I got attached to MGS and Final Fantasies of course. Loved the games, they made me. But I think it's not getting emotional over it. I mean they didn't make me cry or anything like that but they were a huge part of my life.

                                          The games that really made me sad and all stressed up about what's gonna happen were definitely THE WALKING DEAD, HEAVY RAIN and above all LIFE IS STRANGE. They're the fucking killers. LiS episode endings are just too much. Literally, there are so many moments when you're like FUCK what did just happen, why did it happen. The soundtrack didn't make it any easier.

                                            Are we only talking about getting teared up emotionally? Because I'm already on my 4th controller of the year.
