Gamer nerds: what video game affected you the most emotionally?
- Thread starter cyrocksmypants
- Start date
For Plot - the Mass Effect series. Great characters and story and you get to make so many fun decisions.
Excitement - NCAA 2014. I still bust it out and play my dynasty and play with friends. Always gets me fired up and close games are so intense.
But that Skyrim music...always takes me to a great peaceful place when I hear it.

Loved the plotline of Command and Conquer: Red Alert. Really got me jacked up to play.
Really haven't played since the NES days with just a bit of a dive into SNES and N64, but nothing angered me more than getting into a groove on whatever game I was playing, only to have it freeze up DESPITE the fact that I wiped down the cartridge, blew into it, etc. before starting.
Yeah, this game wrecked me, especially as a new father. It reminds me a lot of the emotion in Dear Zachery. For those that don’t know, you play as the father of a young boy diagnosed with cancer. It is their real story. Have tissues, and hug your kids.
Emotionally? I’ve never cussed, screamed, yelled as much as I did about 20 years ago.
Goldeneye multiplayer, pistols, license to kill.
Nuff said.

I bet you were the type who always picked that short little bastard Oddjob.
Trevelyan whenever possible.
Koopa Troopa when Mario Kart multiplayer was fired up.
Red Dead was perfect.
GTA5 was unique with the 3 roles and choosing which to take out in the end. (Can’t wait for the new Red Dead and the posse feature which I am sure will build on this)
But for me... Ocarina of Time takes the cake. That was the first time that I truly felt connected to the action on screen. Add in a great story, wonderful puzzles, and a fully explorable and interactive world, and that was my first glimpse into what gaming could and should become.

Wow. Me too. First game I ever had those emotional moments with and I think it was the genesis of my love of a good RPG.
Dragon age origins. I put so many hours into that game plus all the dlcs so when it was finally over and my Warden got a half ass semblance of a happy ending with Morrigan I was fairly sad that the story was over.
The opening to Double Dragon. The whole plot is summed up in a few seconds and you are ready to beat up some bad guys.
That was the only visual novel game I have played. They haven't recommended any more to me at all. Though I didn't thumbs up or rate the game. So you might be good?
I haven't owned a system since the ps2 besides xbox 360 just for GTA so I can't speak to newer games like Last of Us.
For me like others have mentioned it I would say FF7 when the girl dies. I had all custom names so not sure what her name was.
