I just played To the Moon for the first time, and really loved it for the emotional story. What are your best emotional games?

Mine are To the Moon, and the Metal Gear Solid series, particularly 3, and 4.

Love , one of my favorite games of all time. It tricks you with it's name, but by the end of it I want to punch my monitor in anger.

I get really frustrated because I get to the last level with only 80 of my 100 lives remaining. Then I lose them all at the absolute last part and feel an overwhelming sense of despair. But then like a noob I start it over in 'unlimited lives' mode and beat it in 30mins and I get really happy...until I find out there are people that can beat the game without dying, and others that can speedrun the damn thing in like 6 minutes with losing just a handful of lives. Then I get sad and depressed and don't play the game for a month or 2.

  • The Walking Dead
  • Dust An Elysian Tail (the very only game that made me regret and feel bad about killing a boss)
  • Planescape Torment
  • Spec Ops The Line
  • To The Moon
  • Bastion

And I really want to try Lisa The Painful RPG. It looks grim and full of feelings

Not a single one... I don't know. Video games are such terrible story tellers it's hard for me to actually feel anything most of the time. Or maybe it's just the fact that I'm playing. I'm a rather emotional person and I've had my share of tears with numerous movies, books and even music, but not once with video games. :/

I dunno. I play most games for the fun factor rather than the "emotional" factor.

Though I would say Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale definitely gave just the right kind of emotions- joy and happiness! Seriously, if more games were filled with happy optimism as this game is (instead of being sob fests where character X dies and we're shown their loved ones crying over them) maybe humanity wouldn't be as miserable as it is. :D

This quote resembles me:

"The last time we saw The Walking Dead it was lying in a pool of blood, waiting to rise again as some sort of brain-hungry second season. The bastard game hadn't so much jerked the tears from my eyes as attached wild horses to the ducts and had the muscular beasts run toward the horizon for a couple of hours."
