Kennysplash Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 There are times when I just feel a range of emotions about the games I play, especially towards the characters. These emotions include pity, sadness, happiness based on the game and storyline. So games stir your emotions?
Scorpion Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 Games can make us feel strongly about the characters and stories, in a way that's different from movies or books. It's a special mix of storytelling and connection that stays with us.
The Blackangel Posted February 1, 2025 Posted February 1, 2025 Until I was introduced to RDR2, no. But now I bawl my eyes out when Arthur dies. I hate Micah, the same as everyone else. I feel an emotional connection with Arthur. In the Van der Linde gang, I’ve found the family that I didn’t have growing up. When it all collapses, I’m devastated. Which is why I tend to not go past chapter 3 anymore, assuming I even take it that far. You can see Pearson feeling like me when he looks at the gang photo he has hanging up in his shop in Rhodes. He misses it with every fiber of his being. And I do too. I can barely play the epilogue, because it breaks my heart. I’m probably too emotionally invested in the game, but I honestly can’t help it.
killamch89 Posted February 2, 2025 Posted February 2, 2025 It depends on the game. Games like RDR2 and especially Spec Ops: The Line are two of the games that have ever moved me emotionally.
