Well let's agree to disagree, we obviously have different tastes....and yes, I did shed a tear playing Lost Odyssey, RPGs are my favorite genre because more than anything I love a good story and it's most definately not the same as watching a movie.  I don't really play shooters.  The Milo demonstration showed me that gaming still has a long way it can go. 

If you've ever watched professional athletes crying after winning (or losing) the championship then you know that your point about games being about winning and not feeling are completely wrong.  Why aren't they sitting there emotionless?  After all, the only point of sports is winning, right?  No, winning is about emotion.  

Maybe its a cultural difference thing? I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. Crying is a sign of weakness, of frailty, and is instantly exploited. Thus, the emotion side is unlearned by social adaptation. If I saw someone crying from playing a videogame, I'd slap them so they'd have a reason to cry.

Athletes who cry because they win/lose are also looked down upon in our society - if you lost, take it like a man, and have the decency to congratulate the guy that beat you. If you won, win gracefully, and invite the guy you beat out for a few beers.

Most emotions are useless. Fear isa  good one, because it can save your ass from time to time. Sorrow, lament, love - all very useless.

 

Lol, you had me going for a bit there.....I actually thought you were serious for a second.
