Games that had an emotional impact on you?

The ending of Portal 2 made me cry.

Not sure if anyone here has played it, but Heavy Rain on PS3 was an emotional roller coaster unlike any other!

Metal Gear Solid 3, that ending... I couldn't pull the trigger :( And when I saw Snake crying at the grave, I wanted to cry myself...
Final Fantasy X,
Persona 4 & Persona 3 - but I prefer the story in P4.
Shadow of the Colossus - This game is just pure awesome, I couldn't believe what an impact it was to me to lose Agro (the horse),
Okami - such a beautiful game, it's not only a game, it's a f*cking masterpiece.

sanitarium. great game!

Penumbra - Scared :(
Professor Layton and the unwound future - sad ending q.q

Prince of Persia: SoT and WW. Haven't played all the way through Two Thrones.

Mass effect 2, made me cry xD

A great deal of games actually..

Planescape Torment was the most powerful one for me.

That's what i remember right now, there were others that i can't remember right now though. I can expand/explain later if anyone's curious, but now i have to go.

Ok, I will try to list some Steam games:

• Bastion: I almost cried with this one. It was so immersive. It was like a really good book.
• Bioshock: I fell kind of scared to play and find creatures from nowhere. It beats all Resident Evil any day.
• RotMG: It makes me rage when I die an idiot death on level 19.
• Spiral Knights: Makes me really happy when I am pwning cute things with friends.

Chrono Cross. Helped shape my views on life and the world.
Metal Gear Solid 2 and especially Metal Gear Solid 4. Just.. wow. Absolutely unbelievable. The last thing you control in 3 was pretty tough as well.

Then I guess Demon's Souls, I actually felt proud of myself after I finally got through a spot that gave me trouble. When I beat it it was amazing. Oh yeah, SCREW YOU FLAMELURKER.

Metal Gear Solid 3. The manliest man who ever manned follows up the most heartfelt speech about why everybody who's not The Boss should be grateful for The Boss because they'll never be as great as The Boss, with the manliest tear from beneath his eyepatch BECAUSE HE JUST LOST AN EYE LIKE TWO DAYS EARLIER.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH MANLY SADNESS BONER ACTIVATE

DEAD SPACE ! :DDD dam scared the shit out of me at some points

Lost Odyssey made me cry.. seriously that game..

Chrono trigger. Not crying, laughing, shouting etc but thoughts. It had a really good story.

maybe Dear Esther, 1 hour long, but really emotional story... Also try Alan Wake, the story will twist you mind!

Thief. All of them.
Arcanum.
Planescape Torment, Baldurs Gate.

I recommend them all. Their stories got me involved and touched me like a good book. And the killing was nice too ^^ unless of course you had to get in and out without the whole police station noticing you.
Sigh... seems like I am too emotional for my own good :D

Portal - Portal 2 - The World Ends With You - Kingdom Hearts

These had a great emotional impact on me.

Serious Sam 3 ;_;

Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, Portal 2, FFXII, Okami & Ratchet and Clank series :3

Even after reading the names in this thread, I realised that I never had a strong emotional experience in a game. Which in itself makes me sad for the medium.

Anachronox -
ARe you sad?

My top favorite games, of course. GTA4, Mirror's Edge, Mafia and Cave Story.

Seeing as I already played FF7 I knew what was going to happen so the end wasnt very dramatic. It did help that they gave you the illusion that you could change things though.

I would have to say for most people it would be HoN/LoL/Dota and the emotion would be anger.
