Sikatiiker Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Which moments in gaming made you feel it's all worth it? What made you disappoint in wasting lots of time with gaming? I'll start. I managed to avoid Assassin's Creed the movie this far. Now I watched it, kind of liked it a bit and now I want to play the Ezio stuff all over again. Building your collection of weapons and fortress and giving Ezio the most important waking hours of your life for weeks and then getting in touch with those who came before was the break point for me back in the days. That made me really enjoy gaming instead of just playing online shooters and retro games for nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaserPL Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Many situations in The Last Of Us. Especially the ending or Spoiler Sara's death. Edited July 16, 2017 by Stevieboy added spoiler tags 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbey97 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Mine would be all of the story in The Last of Us as that just really got to me. I still can't play it without crying. Another for me would be when I replay one of my old games so for example, Alias, Harvest Moon, The Sims, as they make me feel happy/nostalgic and they always remind me of when I used to play them when I was younger (and absolutely fail at them ) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffle-Sensei Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 The ending to LoZ: Twilight Princess made me pretty emotional the first time. Still my favorite Zelda game. Other than that the endings of any of my favorite games usually do, like recently the ending of Persona 5. Just makes me so sad that the journey with all your friends is over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMDE Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I know you guys talk about in-game story related stuff, but eh, for me it's stuff like learning they were working on Tombi 3 and went bankrupt. Or how disappointed I was when I first time played Rayman 2, especially knowing what Rayman 2 initially going to be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Spoiler saving Ellie in TLOU/losing Joel's daughter, though Naruto: UNS4 had plenty of emotional moments. I dunno, Horizon had a lot, especially when Aloy's a little girl, or when she loses Roth. Or, the plot twist on Black Ops' campaign -- REZNOV!! Aside from that, I guess I've missed out on story-driven games. Edited July 16, 2017 by Stevieboy added spoiler tags 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NullRay85 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Metal Gear Solid 4 Big Boss, Solid Snake, Liquid Ocelot, Raiden, Otacon's individual epilogues was an emotional overload since all of them were well-written and memorable characters. Dust: An Elysian Tail Dust's death really had me almost in tears since I liked Dust and he managed to grow on me rather quickly. Final Fantasy X The "death" of the badass, Auron. It was a tragedy that he died many years prior to the game, but his strong willpower allowed him to "live" on as a guide for Tidus. By the end of the game where Yuna was ready to give him closure, I was pretty bummed since I knew I lost a valuable party member and a kickass supporting character.

Gommes_ Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 The ending of shadow of the collossus destroyed me. I never felt so many different emotions when this masterpiece was over. No other game ever accomplished that. On a side note, Life is strange, the first ending, was great too. The cinematography and the final song were outstanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Joker88 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Sad Moments The Walking Dead Season 1: the final scene made me cry... one of the hardest decisions ever made in a videogame... Final Fantasy X: The Sending after arriving Kilika... the Final Bossfight plus the following sequence until the game ends... Life is Strange: Final Decision Good moments Just Cause 2: destroying buildings, seeing big explosions...

princefan2407 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 There have been mentioned many great moments here, which I have also experienced. My biggest personal breakdown appeared because of... Silent Hill. The moment? Spoiler Death of Lisa Garland. Bleeding eyes, creepiness spilling out of the screen, "innocent woman" literally devastated by the burden of her sins, unconciously approaching Harry with terrifying, open attitude... Not mentioning uncertain ending and a diary left. And that track, simple, yet unbelievably painful track. I cried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBloodmoney Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Pretty much all of Lone Survivor was very moving. Also, some of the side quests in Nier: Automata are extremely bleak and moving. @Stevieboy - what is the expiery date on spoilers for this site? Most of the games mentioned are over a year old, I would have thought if anyone cared about spoilers for these games they would have played them already? Not to mention the fact that it has already been proven that people enjoy movies/ books/ games more if they have been spoiled for them: https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/spoiler-alert-spoilers-make-you-enjoy-stories-more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a story is spoiled for someone in a story driven game then it doesn't matter how old that game is. Also, the argument that if a game has been out for a certain amount of time and the person hasn't played it yet that it must mean they don't care about spoilers is unwarranted. Plenty of people have huge backlogs, or are waiting on a game to drop to a certain price before buying, or haven't had the time to play it yet. There are plenty of reasons why they might not have played it yet. Basically, a spoiler is a spoiler regardless of age. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate spoilers, and it's actually put me off completing games for extended periods of time since the payoff felt no longer worth it, and made me leave websites for douche bags who consistently bought strategy guides early just for the sake of running to forums and intentionally spoiling games. Hell, I don't even like people who start to recommend a movie/game/book/whatever and just start listing off every major plot moment to you, like somehow that's going to entice you to see/read/play it (we all know "that guy"). To you I say: no, keep the spoilers to yourself. Anyway, Uncharted 4's ending was very emotional, but I think it's because it was a very good ride, and it was very sad to see it just finally conclude.

So people who, like me, primarily post using the mobile site (which does not have the ability to use Spoiler tags) they cannot make reference to, say, Spoiler Aries dying in FFVII or Spoiler Raiden being a main character in MGS2 or Spoiler Darth Vader being Luke's Father or Spoiler Jesus being resurrected after his crucifixion just in case people still haven't got around to finishing these stories? That seems a bit excessive. Edited July 16, 2017 by DrBloodmoney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems a bit excessive. Well, I've never played FF VII so the first one is a spoiler for me. The second one would be a minor spoiler for MGS 2. Plenty of people have never seen The Empire Strikes Back, so that's also a spoiler for them. It doesn't matter if it seems excessive. The bottom line is a spoiler is a spoiler regardless of age. Spoiler tags should still be used when discussing plot points, that's what they are there for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
