Greatest emotional investment

[Madame Adequate]

"What games made you cry?" is a fairly common question amongst our rabble. I'm not sure why, it's not like sadness is the only emotion which exists or can be stirred by games.

So in this thread, we're going to discuss games that had an emotional impact on us, and those we are/were emotionally invested in. (FFFFFUUUUUU RAGE doesn't count.) Not just sadness, but anything!

GO~

Radiata stories or Tak the Great Juju Challenge always made me LOL

[Jessweeee♪]

Persona 4 made me feel every emotion ever!

Mass Effect
I can't even explain how attached I got to the characters.
o.o

Metal Gear Solid. I'm working through 4 right now, so I can't say what emotional effect it will have overall, but Snake Eater was a very powerful experience all around.

friggin metal gear solid

i was 13 or 14 when i played the first one so it kind of destroyed my emotions

and i was really old when i played snake eater but when the starsailor song came on i still had to sit myself down and think for a bit

Tears welled up a bit when Anna died when I was playing FFIV DS yesterday. While I'm not fond of the voiceovers, that particular scene was rather well done, and hit the emotion just right.

.Hack//G.U. for me. I didn't watch Roots first so I really had no idea what was going on. So yea they mystery was there for me. And then in Part 2 my favorite character went MIA and it was really sad. Especially since they kind of played it up like maybe, just maybe he was going to make it in time. But nope. That whole scene was so heart wrenching. And then finally at the end of Part 3 it made me go awww.

I must be a cold, heartless sonuva bitch because I don't get emotional during video games.

Just a suggestion: since most of the comments in this thread will have to do with deaths of video-game characters, it would be best to use spoiler tags along with the name of the game you'll be spoiling.

I rarely ever feel sad during sad moments in video-games. The only one I can really think of off the top of my head is Chrono Trigger when (SPOILER)you revive Chrono with Marle in your party.

[Momiji]

FFIV's been out for 18 years. I don't think the death of a very minor character should be a spoiler.

[SomethingBig]

Theeeeen for more recent games.

[Shattered Dreamer]

Metal Gear Solid 3 the ending had a great emotional effect on me. Fifa when you hit the post a million times then lose to a goal in the last seconds of play annoys me to an immeasurable degree.

Pretty much, yeah. Though the closest that have come to emotionally affecting me were Lunar SSSC and Suikoden II, both of which had fantastic stories and character development, so that I really cared about what was happening.
