>>344933718
I feel like that is the case for a lot of "emotional" scenarios. Something like "oh god, someone died, pls cry" and that is just an automatic cue for us to do so. Especially with things like death, it's such an easy emotional grab that to me, it comes off as cheap and lazy.

I have to say something for MGS4 moments. The whole thing was a big movie accumulating a bunch of nonsense contrivances only Kojima could be proud of, and it had a lot of crazy dragging ons explaining stuff that still may have ended up confusing to some. But a lot of the powerful moments came from realizing the history of the series itself. It really helps if you played through the previous titles to realize those moments, though.

The keyword is history. And what that talks about is getting acquainted with the development of things through time, possibly to the point of getting attached to something which inevitably faces some kind of loss or change, and those are easily some of the more grabbing moments in any form. However, the fault of these is that you often must be informed of prior knowledge going into it before it could effectively impact you.

Another kind of moment is the one that hits close to home, but these are very personal and not as easily perceivable to those who don't go through similar experiences, so it's harder to share these moments due to lack of insight. However, these may grab a person the hardest if he relates to it the most. Other people may say "So what? I don't get it."

Then we move to the category of "general" moments that everyone is just supposed to understand easily, like death, or someone breaks up with another person or gets his or her love rejected. Anyone can be hit by these and it doesn't necessarily have to be personal. But it's so simple that it may come off as cheesy or have relatively minimal impact especially with repetition, and that's what happens when feeding to a lower common denominator of people than especially hits-close-to-home type of moments. These are also so common that people often experience them enough that they become gradually used to it, especially if it's not so personal of a loss.

I see way too many cheesy death scenes in games that the impact is relatively lost on me.

No, because I never understood why did the metroid help Samus there.

It wasn't emotional, it was just random.

I almost ruined that scene because I climbed into the rafters of one of the buildings and hid there for about 3 hours before finally killing myself with a grenade.

You literally interact with him for all of five minutes total and in those five minutes he never establishes himself as a character of worth. He dies far too early in the Brotherhood storyline for you to care or even remember his name by the end.

Normally games just give you good ending or bad ending.
Normally even bad endings are either "oh well, you lose" or so comically evil it just doesn't work.

Age of wonders gives you all manner of genuinely depressing endings for each unique flavor of "you didn't start Keepers and you didn't listen to Julia, you moron."

Said like someone who's never fucking played it.
Earthbound has amazing writing, music, visuals, and sound design. The unity, if you would call it that, of all of the elements is incredible.
It's combat is just okay, but it's a traditional JRPG. What else can you expect from one?
You know what was one of the most interesting moments in any game I've ever played? Poo's Mu training. I can't think of a moment in another game where you MUST disregard dialogue to progress.

It would've made more of an impact if the post-game didn't pull a "BUT WAIT DON'T WORRY EVERYONE'S FINE".

Not the most emotional in gaming, but perhaps the only emotional/GOOD moment from the garbage that is ME2 is when you finish the suicide mission and they play a quick scene of Harbinger who releases the Collector leader from his mind control, only for the leader to find out that Shepard has committed genocide on his entire race with no questions asked. There's like 3 seconds of this alien we never saw before panicking and trying to hit buttons on his computer before he explodes and dies.

If you fags like that you should read the novels. Reach is tonally the only halo game that comes close to how they get and even then Reach isn't nearly as good as the first books (The Fall of Reach) depiction of the battle for reach.

Ideal reading order (assuming you've played all the games, including the spinoffs, but not the mobile ones) is:

Fall of reach > the flood* > First strike > Ghosts of onyx > Contact harvest > Cole protocol > Evolutions > Cryptum > Glasslands > Primordium > Thursday war > Silentium > Broken Circle > New blood > Hunters in the dark > last light > Fractures (not out yet)

There's an * next to the flood because it's just CE as a book, and it's not great, but it's still worth it as long as you temeper your expectations accordingly and want to see some of the little things in CE fleshed out. One of the special ops elites you kill in the eleavator on The Maw is a major character, for example

Also, I excluded the last kilo 5 book because it's complete garbage, vs just the sub par first two books in the triology (glasslands (which is required reading for better books anyways) and thursday war).

shit, forgot to quote this in >>344960134

Also, if you haven't played all the games, just inser the games into the following places

CE: play in place of/at the same time of reading the flood
2/ODST: after first strike
3 read after ghosts of onyx
Wars: after contact harvest
4: After glasslands earliest, OR after silentium, ideally if you can be patient
5: After Silentium at earliest, ideally after last light

There's also halsey's journal, which you should read after you've played both halo reach (which you all did) and read the fall of reach, since it fixes most of the apparent retcons they have between them)

Not the guy you're replying to but I played it on 3DS.
Seemed perfectly fine to me. I was actually looking up some videos of sidequests I missed and the load times on the PS2 seemed unbearable in comparison to what I had played.
I do typically prefer handheld when possible though and don't care at all if some decade-old story-driven JRPG doesn't look its best so I'm biased.

I came here to post this. I can't take "Wow, look at how sad this cutscene is" shit. When they more organically put it in gameplay though, it has a much better impact. This was one of the best because it was just you walking along surrounded by enemies unable to fight back chugging health potions like crazy. When they all stopped firing, it was an actual relief. If you look into it too much, you'll realize you're invincible, but you probably didn't realize that so it doesn't matter.

This is another good example of putting it into gameplay.

Why do you think MS to this day makes them, and there are over 20, and basically all of them have sold ridiculously well? There's a pretty substantial % of the halo fanabse that doesn't even give a shit about the games and only cares about the canon.

Try to find a single video game franchise with more lore then the Halo series. The only one that comes close is the elder scrolls, and that's mainly just due to the in game mini books.

This. This so fucking much.

I'd played D2 first and didn't notice the burning village was Tristram until I replayed it after finishing Diablo 1.

Hard hitting on my fucking thumb. My anus was not prepared for all those button presses. I was literally sweating by the end of it.

>similar things are of equal quality

Earthbound made the players empathize with RPG monsters for the sake humor.

Undertale made the players empathize with RPG monsters to teach some moral lesson.

What's more, Undertale steered the decisions a player should make by chastising them with the narrative if they chose to kill things. For Undertale to have been great, the morality should have been ambiguous.

For me Super Metroid is the best game but no, not at all. In fact I felt the boss was a little bit too easy, that's all I felt when I reached him.

See, I played many fucking games all over these 24 years of playing shit, I still like this game the best but it does have its flaws, and one of them is the bosses.

I wish I felt this way.

For some reason I just wanted desperately for Okami to be over. I was pretty impatient with games when I played through it because it was one of the first games I tackled on my backlog. This literally had 0 emotional impact on me. If anything I imagine I was glad that Amaterasu was finally dead and I could go play another game.

Sorry guys. Great game for the first 12 hours. I definitely lost interest from that point on.

Yes.

I played Super Metroid for the first time at 21. I shed a fucking tear during this part. I felt ashamed but fuck me.

Even with no dialogue at all this game moved me more than all the AAA bullshit that's been shat out in the last 20 years.
