Forums - Gaming - Things in Gaming That Make You Choke Up

DON'T EMBED ANY VIDEOS OR I WILL HATE YOU TO DEATH.

Figured I'd throw that up there.

Okay, now. All of us are tenderhearts; don't lie. You'd cry at Care Bears the Movie if you could work up the courage to watch it. Accepting this about ourselves is an important step toward being well-adjusted people.

Now, we all have things that get our goat in video games. I'm touched by the forgiveness sequence in God of War III. Few things really make me choke up, though. Some do. I'll share.

Probably the thing that makes me choke up most reliably is the credits theme for Link to the Past:

I don't know why it does it. It's not my first Zelda, nor my favorite. But something about it is poignant in a way that very few other musical pieces are.

Let's talk about some things that strike a chord in games.

GUYS HERE IS HOW TO MARK SPOILERS:

When you write a spoiler, go into the HTML box (click HTML). You will see the text you want to spoiler.

Put this around your text:

<span style="color:#000000; background-color:#000000;">This is the text you'll be spoilering!</span>

Now if you put that into HTML, you get this spoiler:

Our princess is in another castle.

It's just that easy! Just highlight it to read it! Hurray!

I choked up during Uncharted 2 and Valkyria Chronicles, but those are the only two I can remember.

Exactly. Kind of the same with Uncharted 2.

I only choked up when I lost a Final Fantasy 9 60 hours savegame file..

That was what I was going to post, the sickening thud of the bullet really gets me.   For some reason U2 didn't get me though, just VC.

U2 wasn't as powerful for me as VC was, mostly because my mind was racing about how this wasn't happening, and lo and behold!



My opinions on Valkyria Chronicles are unimportant!

The end of the big army showdown in Red Dead Redemption really gets my goat, though



Shadow of the Colossus.

Can't really think of anything else, at the moment.
