>game tries to make you feel emotional
>it fails completely
what games do this?
better question would be what games DON'T do this
I'd have to go pretty far back to find a game that actually made me feel anything other than a boner for characters
The last of us
>>332333005
I can accept when a game does this once because not every story is perfect.
but when Fire Emblem Fates does this a few times within a short time, it gets extremely annoying
>>332333005
Undertale
>>332333005
Mass Effect 3.
>dream levels with oh so sad dead child
Brothers: Tale of two Brothers or whatver that shit's called
>game has a tragic event that is actually sad as fuck
>you played the game years ago and have forgotten most things about the game except that event
>to this day it still brings a tear to your eye if your thoughts linger on it
>Spec ops
It just made me angry for trying to guilt trip me
Most games.
Also what >>332333497 said. What a fucking predicatble, forced piece of shit that game was.
>>332333497
man, that was such a fucking trite emotional blackmail
>dude you have to bury your brother aren't you sad dude
>>332333457
Who the fuck came up with that?
Did anyone honestly give a shit about that kid? he dies so quickly you don't even have enough time to give a fuck but no, you gotta have nightmares about some little shit you barely even saw and had no reason to care about.
>>332333005
MGS3
it's literally
>feel bad for this person who has been doing horrible things to you the entire game
Literally every death in Fates is like that.
God, why is the writing so terrible? Even by Fire Emblem standards?
>>332333005
I actually did feel kinda sad, but only because of the fact that Lilith's Temple was still there and she still took food.
>>332333358
Who could have figured it out?same desu
>>332333457
this was pretty forced
Katawa Shoujo. I didn't feel even slightly guilty for doing Rin's "bad" route.
She was a jackass the entire way through and Hisao deserved better. Sometimes you just need to walk away.
>>332333457
Also this.
TFW you try to make the sadness of a chapter revolve around some dumb bitch who swan dived off a rock but the players feel bad for the generic NPC commander instead
>>332334907
This
I couldn't give less of a fuck about the Boss.
>>332334907
This was pretty nice until some idiot barehanded the sausage. Whole meal ruined, enjoy your foodborne illness.
>>332335537
This desu. The only time I felt bad for an NPC's death in FE that wasn't an enemy unit was when Eliwood's dad died.
But the "Loyal general that is a perfectly nice guy but you must kill" archetype always gets me.
>>332335537
This makes me wish capturing was in Awakening now.

The others two not so much.
>>332335164
I got a good laugh out of the meat I offered fading away. I was less sad about her death and more that I might lose out on 300 gold every so often, but luckily that's still there.
>>332333254
I hated this scene.
>Oh man it's a cute girl, and she's your daughter, and she's dying
>Feel sad now please
>even though this was incredibly predictable because Ellie was the one in all of the pre-release material
>even though this character had no development other than being your cute daughter
>even though cute girl dying is one of the cheapest emotional sucker punches ever, right next to dying dogs
>>332335537
Because it showed that when blinded by rage, on a war you end up killing good people who were just following orders.
Gangrel was right, Chrom was the same as him.

>she doesn't even exist in the story scenes in any fashion outside of setting up My Castle and the scene where she dies
What the fuck was even the point?
the god child in ME3 was forced as fuck

>>332336482
>Crying irl for vidya
I have never cried for a game. I don't understand people who have. Most of the time the stories are bland, generic, too surreal, and the characters not well characterized enough to feel them. Like an emotional uncanny valley.
I don't cry too much for movies either. The only movies that have left me crying like a little bitch were the Hachiko one andToy Story 3
>>332335537
Awakening was so bad but this was probably the only good chapter in that trash heap.

If I hadn't invested a stupid amount of time into the ME series, I'd have dropped 3 after the first mission.
TLoU was just another generic TPS zombie thing.
>>332336921
Play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky.
It may not make you cry, but it addresses most of the issues that you've listed (helped by the fact that its a damn good game).
>>332333457
God the ptsd dreams were the cringiest shit in the world.
Game should have just ended with a drunk Shepard telling the Catalyst to fuck off like this.

>>332334590
I guess they wanted to give shepard some actual character development, but it was 3 games too late and executed terribly
>>332335537
Bullshit, anyone who thinks for a moment has zero sympathy for this idiot. He chases Chrom down to ask for his surrender, promising he'll protect them.
Protect them? From his own King? How?
If Chrom had listened to this retard then all the Shepherds would have been executed within a week.
It's clear he doesn't want to fight and his men don't want to fight, yet instead of just "not being able to catch up with them" he forces them to match at top speed to cut the Shepherds off and die pointless deaths.
He's an idiot and he got all his men killed for no reason.
Emmeryn was far more sympathetic if you paid any attention to the story (beyond "hurr she's dum, peace is dum")
>>332336452
Walhart is Chrom's foil, not Gangrel and even then Chrom rejects the comparison. He's nothing like Gangrel and Walhart's brutal tyranny disgusts him.
Every cinematic game where a character or several characters die within half an hour.
Dom's death in Gears of War made me laugh

>>332334019
And they actually force you to get him impaled, really. There's a point in that spider fight where the spider just stops fucking attacking you and starts running away, but the fight literally cannot end until you pull the last leg off of the crying disabled spider that the game is obviously trying to make you feel bad for at this point.
It's so fucking obvious and contriving that it makes me mad that it was so highly acclaimed.

Literally a waste of space, what was the fucking point. Seriously people need to be fired, it's bad enough the writing is shit but to actually waste development time on her is bull.
>>332337634
It's kinda the whole point of the Valm campaign. That unlike Plegia they had in some senses a common goal with Ylisse. Could possibly have been reasoned with.
Plegians were cultists and bandits, Valmese did a lot of terrible things but their army was just soldiers fighting for a cause they believed in (or money)
ITT: Edgelords
Thanks for the cringe /v/!
>>332333604
This holy shit. I couldn't believe the amount of praise this game was getting when it was released. The game runs its theme into your head like a fucking drill with how much it tries to go "WOW LOOK WE MADE YOU SHOOT ALL THESE PEOPLE TO WIN DO YOU FEEL GOOD NOW BITCH LOL DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE SHIT?"
Even the fucking loading screens had comments calling you a fucker for playing the game. Please, fuck off, you're not being smart or high-art or emotional or whatever the fuck it is your trying to pull. You're not Apocalypse Now.

I pretty much ignored the story from this point on
>>332333457
You're an idiot if you think these were suppose to make you cry. If anything, they were there to show that Shepard had doubts that he/she would succeed. Nothing about these were to get a tear out of you.

>>332336865
This. I did not give a shit. Even if I was not expecting it I would not have cared because Aeris is an overrated, bland character. To make matters worse, its technically not Sephiroth killing her but Jenova.
Everyone knew Zack was going to die in Crisis Core and its way more emotional simply because he is a more likeable character and it was executed well.
>>332337681
>he forces them to match at top speed to cut the Shepherds off and die pointless deaths.

The Last of Us.
In the very beginning of the game, I was constantly wondering when they were going to kill of Joel's daughter, and when it actually happened I didn't really feel anything. Its like they put her in the game solely to get a cheap emotional reaction from the audience
When you're with Tess, I was just wondering when they were going to kill her off or get rid of her because she isn't with Ellie and Joel on the front of the box, and then I didn't care when they actually decided to kill her.
>>332343641
>there are people that use this scene as b8
Fuck off. Please?
>>332342969
It certainly doesn't help that the game shits on you if you don't like her.
>Aeris gets pissed if you want to rescue Tifa from corneo but is fine if you don't want to
>Aeris having low relationship points gets you the date with Barret

wat
>>332333005
Every western game that try to be emotional fails hard at it, i don't know why.
pratically everything telltales did after the walking dead
Mass Effect 3
>>332343941
In all fairness, it's able to guilt-trip you because it's specifically designed to be literally impossible to stumble into the genocide route. However effective that is, totally subjective, but still.
>>332343806
God, you're an idiot.
First off, you already knew about the death, 2nd, Joel's daughter does not die simply to get emotion out of the audience. You do know Ellie is around the same age as Joel's daughter when she died, right?
Are you getting the connection or do developers have to continue to dumb up their games for people like you?
>>332344774
You know, I have no problem with the neutral route and especially the pacifist route. But the genocide route just annoyed me.
>>332333005
Life is Strange.
By the end I really didn't care for anyone because i was over it
>>332345035
I'm not sure why you're so mad that I don't like your game, Naughty Dog
>you already knew about the death
I'm not sure what you mean by this
>Joel's daughter does not die simply to get emotion out of the audience
It's at least half of the reason. She has no development. Her death isn't sad and she's a pretty pointless character
>>332333005
Rdr
>sees Martson death
>"I heard this was emotional not gay"
>>332333005
All of them, really. I've never once seen a good script in a game. Which is likely because actually talented developers use game design, not literature or cinema, to tell their stories, while hacks try to copy their favourite crappy tv shows.
>Reminds you how to dowse every other hour.
>"Master, there's a 90% chance that chest the cutscene two seconds ago focused on is important."
>Has zero emotional growth.
>Has zero interaction with Ghirahim, which might have been an interesting exchange.
>Those stupid-ass harp segments with her "singing."
Oh but I'm supposed to give a single remote fuck when she has to sleep forever within the Master Sword after just ONE cutscene where she isn't annoying as shit? Not happening.
>>332336331
That scene wasn't supposed to have a huge emotional impact though. It was supposed to set the tone for the game and establish Joel's character and motivations early on.
>>332334907
I hate vegans, but I think there's too much red meat for one meal
>>332341848
Probably the loading screens like "Do you feel like a hero yet?" and "Do you even remember why you came here?" and "How many American soldiers have you killed today?"
>>332337053

Or maybe it's a sign of good taste in fiction and habit of reading/watching good material ?
Story telling in vidya is absolutely devoid of feelings, the only feelings present in it are the one we put in.

All video games in general. Video games are still decades away before we will ever see something genuinely well written and emotional like what the best of what literature, films and even music have to offer. It's still too young a medium after all.
I mean the guy got what was coming to him
>>332346161
Post one of the harp segments? I never played the game, but there's a lot of good porn of Fi where she's extra THICK or chubby.
>>332342564
>There was still so much more I wanted to talk to you about
>>332337053
I have cried for far more books than vidya and movies.
Not crying for Hollywood cashgrabs and children toys is completely acceptable. Some movies are preety good and are meant to make you feel for them, but that is the much lesser part of the movies most people want to watch (and no, forced retarded hollywood romantic drama don't fall in that category)
>>332343941
>WAHHHHHHHHH, A GAME MADE ME OUT TO BE THE BAD GUY BECAUSE I KILLED LITERALLY EVERYTHING I POSSIBLY COULD, WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>332349742
rip
>>332341848
they can't into the concept of narrative. They probably expected just another FPS or tacticool mission game and instead got a story told to them.
>>332346812
Literally this. Joel is a character distinct from the player, he feels the emotions and it's supposed to give you a glimpse into Joel's character, emotions, and motivations. Think a little critically.

once I saw two floating books trying to have a dramatic moment, I started cracking up. How did people like this shit?
I feel like I was supposed to feel bad for him but it was just too much too suddenly compared to his portrayal in Painful to the point that it was genuinely distracting.

FUCKING WHY
>>332354502
Because, despite cutting Fates into three pieces to maximum overjew, they still cut shit out.
I cannot believe I fell for the NuFire Emblem hype. Literally the only thing that made it better than Awakening was Conquests gameplay. The characters were largely shittier, the story was somehow shittier, and the music was about the same.

The Lee thing was so fucking forced and bullshit, not to mention the only dialogue options when Clem asks "can we look for my parents?" are no, no, silent no, and [LIE].
Fuck you TellTale. If Lee gave half as much of a shit as I gave about that girl, he would've at least tried, but nope. Here, have a shitty fucking villain who's a more flagrant pedo than I am, now sit here while he tells you how awful you are for making those decisions with minimal chance to talk shit.
Stupid bullshit still makes me mad. The only thing more insulting would've been a live video of the developers telling you you're an awful person.
