Carville87 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 So what does evoke a more emotional response for you? For me its Tv Shows i get far too invested in characters i end up really worrying about them. So what is it for you the 100 hour RPG, the 5 Season Tv Show, the great Movie or the amazing Comic THEM FEELS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xVolloxx Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Tv Shows While games & movies sometimes hit me in the feels quite hard Tv Shows usually get me very often , after watching hours and hours seasons and seasons i get attached to the characters , therefore i feel for them . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meacham Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I would have to say Tv also. I mean a certain character on SOA at the moment. I like him, I got worried towards the end of the latest episode. Same with Supernatural with "Spoiler" Dean. Happens with most shows I watch to be honest. I guess that's what makes good shows though, like-able characters. Not to mention all the other components, good story etc. Edited October 9, 2014 by Meacham93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Games, I was actually near crying at the end of... Final Fantasy XIII-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDRAG-K Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 TV shows, because they keep you watching for a few years. So you have to get invested with the characters. Movies would be second, games third, comics last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFinalEmblem Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 For me, it's definitely video games. Usually when I play, I get really invested in the story and characters, as well as emotionally attached to them, so in times of devastation, or great redemption and epic scenes, it's really gets me to feel the same as that scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarDarniTron Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Definitely Games and Movies, emotional attachment is bound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Tooth69 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 TV shows. I'd love to say comic books but death is usually a publicity stunt and/or a joke in comic books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyondthegrave07 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I picked games because of games like Dark Cloud 2, Final Fantasy X, and Journey, but movies are a really close second. I mean, have you've seen Gladiator? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royalredpanda Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I put movies since those are the only things I've ever cried for lol. Mainly movies about animals. Ones like Hachiko or the one that was about a cat, but I can't remember it's title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma999 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Games definitely but just a selection of games those evoke emotions on me. MGS, Last of Us, Bioschock, DMC 3, AC II,etc.. Movies also makes me feel emotional for the characters but with games it's diferent. You take control of the situation and if it's possible you can change the ending of the story.

Saltyie Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I think games can make you much more attached to characters, look at TLOU or The Walking Dead for instance, but they require much more work and crafting to make them work. TV shows and Movies can attach you to characters much easier and faster, but I don't feel as attached to some characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flop Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Anime here counts as TV Shows, right? If so, anime. Rarely do games make me cry, but I think I've gotten FEELS overpowered OVER 9000 with video-games. But I watch more anime, and I cried more during anime, although it takes awhile until I get invested in my anime. Jeez, I don't even know how many times I cried throughout watching Naruto, or almost did cry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoshi Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I voted movies, but video games are a close second. I just have a higher percentage of movies that make me feel than games right now. I can only think of The Walking Dead and the deer fawns in Tokyo Jungle. Animals tend to get me in movies. If humans in movies do, it's usually when they're showing a crying kid in the middle of a zombie attack. I don't watch many dramas on TV, usually just cartoons or comedy. I'd rather use my TV for movies or games than commit to a show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sra-000 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 My vote would be for games, but it has to be the right kind of game and done well. Obviously, someone probably won't get too choked up over a platformer! In really good RPGs and even some action games with a good story (think Uncharted, Last of Us), the emotional investment is heavy. Mostly because I'm controlling the character, the attachment is higher for me than with T.V. shows (although those are a close second). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quintriplet Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I think games mostly, especially with developers like Bioware where it's so character heavy, I find games keep me more involved because I'm actually doing something and adding to the story, I tend to get bored or restless with tv and movies, if anything they are generally background noise for gaming or other stuff.

willmill97 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Tv Shows, because you get invested into characters over many many hours... And when they die.... Woww.... Dem feels.... Movies don't really for me much, unless it's The Shawshank Redemption or 28 Weeks Later Edited October 9, 2014 by willmill97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildstwawberries Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 TV shows. I'd love to say comic books but death is usually a publicity stunt and/or a joke in comic books. I trust the mad titan when he talks of death 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyluckyboyy Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I think i cried at MGS2, MGS3 and MGS4 i get really emotionally invested in those games 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemiak Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) For me it's actual books. Ive literally cried at the end of several of my favorite books. I don't read manga or comics so I can't couch for them, and I rarely watch TV. I occasionally get invested in a really good game or movie though.

Yami Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'd say games. I mean, you controlled them the whole time. To me it's even as if it actually were me ! That makes me get so attached to the characters. That + resemblences in personality (e.g. : if a character does the exact same thing you would in a cutscene for instance) ! Combine that with a matching soundtrack (games usually have better ost's than any other medium imo) and voilà, tears shall be shed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hishomie1 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 TV shows for me. I know so many good shows out there that have either made me cry or really feel bad for a certain character, like Supernatural, Breaking Bad, SOA, and Arrow. Even though video games and movies can hit home(Batman Arkham City, MGS4, InFamous 2, TWD, The Dark Knight, Saving Private Ryan, etc.) trigger some unwanted emotions, they just don't hit as hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepgear2 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 There has been many a movie that caused tears to well up, but none that literally made me break down. Thus, I pick games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light_Infinite_ Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Games only ,don't like tv shows and movies hard to get attached for me , in games i feel fully invested and in the world i get a more epic feeling a feeling that im in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
