Has a videogame ever made you cry???

I cry at movies, I have stated that in many film threads in off-topic.

Movies are more tangible than games with 2D or Polygonal characters. You people have way too much time on your hands to sit around crying at a game.


bleh.

People cry from books too.  It\'s not a tangable human that people get attached to, heck people get attached to dogs and fish.  I think it\'s great that games are written well enough that players can feel some sort of connection to the characters they control.  How boring games would be if we didn\'t feel connected in any way.

Beasty,

What Trog said. What difference does it make to become emotional over a game or a movie? A movie might be more \'real\' but in the end, they\'re both fictional. If a game can make me emotional, then more power to it.

Movies do that to me because they are realistic portrayals, or reenactments of real life. I should know, I AM me.

Games, especially fantasy ones would never make me cry, just because the characters do not seem realistic. A book could if it is deeply emotional (read: Where the Red Fern Grows). But I don\'t think a Star Wars book, etc. could.

I\'m sure you haven\'t gotten attached to every movie either.  Plus, some people get really involved with their games, adding to the experience.  You probably get more attached to games that don\'t provoke much emotion other than excitement, or fear.  That\'s all.  Diff. strokes for diff. folks.

excitement? yes, because I am playing, and most likely winning (if a 2D fighter or other 2 player game!)

fear? Heck no, I\'m not 10 anymore. I have seen way too much sick stuff in my life to be scared anymore, especially over some polygons and sound effects. (read: scary game = Killing Time when I was 10, last, and probably only, game to do it to me)

Ah well good for you, it\'s nice to see that you have evolved and am able to emotionally detach yourself.  I mean that in a good way. . .honest.

Hey Beast Man...just chill, it\'s okay if one becomes emotional over a game...it\'s not unhealthy.

well i was tough when i was younger ! i was never emotionnal ! but see what girls do to ya ! now  i have tears build up in FF7 , FF8 and FF9 !  damn why Aeris why ?  and Rinoa so cute ....
and Zidane my hero !

Woh ! I see this thread has grown
fairly mature. to add : If cartoon movies
like Disney\'s or Dreamworks\' can make
ppl emotional then games can too.

I sometimes get emotional if I see some
big breakthrough 3D graphics, because
I know what kind of effort it took. In comparison
to an Art like painting 3D is very new, thus making
\'today\' and the near future very exciting times for
me.
When I first saw Terminator 2 when it was launched
I got emotional at the scene where the T1000 walks
out of the burning truck wreckage in the beginning.
It was just so damn beautiful.

What\'s wrong with you?

I think that if people don\'t get emotional with a movie, such as Tom Hanks \'The Green Mile\', then I think your heart is made of stone.

It is irrelivant as to if you are male or female.

I mean, I am the jock of the school, and I cried in Sound Of Music.

Tell anyone and I\'ll kill you...

What\'s wrong with me ?  I still find the T1000 the
best liquid morphing 3D animation up til today !
Making things in 3D graphics that become more
realistic looking every decade is one of mankinds
efforts. It\'s kinda like saying : " look God, we Humans
can \'Create\' realistic things just like U now ."
And look at me now... busy with Maya.

The point is , it\'s all about my personal goals in life which include
making something great like the T1000. Thinking about
reaching that craftmanship someday makes me emotional.

Hehehehe
