In the latest installment about imported video games, the writer discusses fan-made, doujin games based on, or including characters from, the visual novel Air. Some of the games mentioned include AirRade, Eternal Fighter Zero, Air Flight and Air Force.
Jason Young of GameZone asks: "[Chuck's Season Finale] was epic in every sense of the word; and I must admit that even though I saw it coming from a mile away, it didn’t lessen the dramatic effect for me. I still bawled, largely due to the smartly edited composition and the use of Nico Stai’s ‘One October Song.’ That said, this got me thinking about other favorite sad moments in video games and television...What game, television show or movie has made you bawl your eyes out?"
Television show? No not unless anime is counted in which case it would be yes.
Movie? No
Games? Yes. Lost Odyssey, Persona 3(if you knew what the ending meant when it happened it's sad) Final Fantasy VII, Valkyria Chronicles and a few more I'm to lazy to remember.
It's this simple. When you spend upwards of 10-60 hours(depending on the game) with a particular world and it's characters you are going to get MUCH more attached to them and care what happens. It's hard for me to care about a character in a movie when they are so short.(that's just my personal feelings on it not a fact or anything) You never get time to connect unless it's a series of movies and there hasn't been a series of movies like that for me and the same goes for a TV show(again unless you count anime)
Book; Of Mice and Men, if you don't know read it
Movie; Bugsy, when they killed Bugsy
Video game; Gears of War 2, got teary eyed when Dom had to off his wife.
Television show; Highlander, when Tess died.
I admit to let a tear fall, when playing games.
I was watching Eden Lake yesterday, and it was damn close again, but i had to swallow it, and remind my self about it's fiction...
em ya a teared abit thou not full out cry... "lost odessey" i couldnt help it game touched my soul
Saving a certain main character from hanging in Red Dead, I found myself really wanting to rescue her. when I did I got a little misty eyed. First time in a video game.
MGS3 ending almost made me cry.....almost, it was so perfect and heartbreaking at the same time. Then the credits rolled and played the only song that would have fit, I almost lost it.
the ending to that movie made my eyes watery... when it comes to heroes fighting to the death and dies with honour.. I get teary eye...
The Lost finale made me cry and some movies have made me cry also. I don't think a game has yet... keep trying devs ;)
I've never cried but Lost has given me many heart-warming moments.
As for games Shadow of the Colossus comes damn close.
Yup, Lost for me, too. Only in the Series Finale though. Charlie and Claire man, good stuff; That's what got me.
Nah, no game has ever made me cry really. I'd be lying if I said yes. Movies on the other hand have: Titanic and My girl...
Agreed.Two good movie examples BTW.Funny thing is no movies could possibly make me shed a tear untill I got older.
Oh wow, it happened when I was younger, and I suspect it would still happen today.
I almost cried for Avatar when I thought the "Aliens" were going to win the battle.
But you guys know what happened in the end! Love FTW!
I was trying to remember if I ever cried during a movie and I couldn't recall any until I saw your post. My Girl had that one seen that almost broke me. Where Vada lost it over Thomas's casket definitely had me on the verge of a meltdown. That was a seriously sad scene.
Thanks! Now I feel like a Nancy <- quoting Frank from Everybody Loves Raymond
LOl you're welcome bandit! That scene you just mentioned was something else.
Great movie.
i have to say far as in video games mgs4 did and it is the only and i mean only game to make me cry.
I think that the MGS3 ending is sadder. They're both awesome emotional endings, but I think that MGS3 beats out MGS4 in this.
