Hmmm. . . maybe the stories won't be as "good" or whatever, but if you allow them to, the stories can have just as great of an emotional impact on you. IMO of course.

Not even close, there hasn't been a single game where the emotion is somehow different than "oh cool" or "that sucks." There hasn't even been a fraction of emotion in any game as there has been in movies like Requiem for a Dream. Not even close.

Why do they have to hit that level though? I can tell you I care A LOT more about Alex Vance than I did about Duece Bigalow.
