By 'broke' I mean that there was always that one game that made us really in-tuned with playing it, whether it came from the story, or trying to beat that really big achievement on it. Whatever the case, we may of gotten emotionally attached, one way or another.

What's that game for you? What are the games that you've felt the most emotion towards?

Final Fantasy: Tactics. Made me feel white rage towards Algus, who treated Delita and Teta like crap for not being nobility. When Algus' reputation was smeared thanks to his father. He made me want to jump into the game and knock his teeth out. Where did he get off you kiss-butt.

As far as emotional attchment to the story, there's always MGS3...



But as far as attached to the game itself, probably Dark Souls is the game I've been more 'in to' than any others. I took the time to farm all of the achievements on it, and let me just say that one "Obtain every weapon" achievement was hell. It took at least 3 playthroughs on one character to get, given that there were three different weapons that could be made from Sif's Soul (which you could only get one of per playthrough).

The Last of Us and The Walking Dead

How can one not get attached to the characters of these games? XD
They're just so realistic and to see the things they go through just breaks my heart T.T
I don't really want to spoil anything but, the Last of Us's opening made me just stop and go wow did that really happen? XD love both games

I guess... Atelier Ayesha? The whole story finished with beautiful ending.
Guess that could be the one.

And obviously Persona 3 and 4 'cause... simply Persona. I love each and every character.

Similar to Persona, I feel the same emotional attachment to Zero Escape characters.

I was really into Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for a while. I wanted to beat it before 2014 started, but the final boss ended up being much more powerful than I'd thought and I didn't make it. I haven't touched it since.

Bioshock and Bioshock: Infinite. I don't think I'll ever forget playing through these games, when I did I had no prior knowledge of what was going to happen, and I was completely into the plots.

Definitely The World Ends With You. I often come back to it on occasions just to play through the whole thing again. The story and everything else is just so amazing.

There's also Kingdom Hearts 2. I can tell I've played it too much because the disk is now worn out and won't play anymore. I need a new one. :/

For me, it would have to be Assassin's Creed II. The plot was amazing; I was extremely into it. Part that made me feel most emotional would have to be the beginning, when Ezio's family members got executed. All AC games are great in-general, but II stands out to me the most. :p

StarCraft II...until I consistently hit Master League and achieved what I wanted to achieve. Since then, I'm on and off.
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Quests...and more quests.
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. See above.
Final Fantasy X...well, spoiler below.

For me it was definitely Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu (Genealogy of the Holy War).



While Awakening was a close second, this game provided many moments of shock, betrayal, and heartful moments when it came to character's deaths, or just general plots throughout the story. It was really amazing how they did it; while Fire Emblem doesn't provide much opportunity to give characters development, I felt as though each and everyone one of the characters in this game were amazing, and whom I can really relate too.

Sometimes I was like, 'oh that son of a...!' as well as 'OMG NO!' throughout the story! Ah, I really hope that future Fire Emblem games would follow Genealogy's example of character developing, as well as sticking to their overall original gameplay! The maps in this game are really amazing, and they make me in tuned on using my head on strategy to save towns and villages, and conquering castles, and feeling frustrated whenever I lose an ally or failed to save a town, hehe. ;o;

Basically any game I've played with a grinding-based skill system has broken me. The most notable examples from the past are Runescape and Skyrim, both of which took up far more of my time than is probably healthy, but even games like League of Legends have had this effect recently. When I'm so close to leveling up I just can't stop myself from pushing it over the edge, regardless of whether it's 5 am or I'll be late for lectures - I guess I'm a bit of an achievement addict? :D

Playing the game The Last Story for Wii was actually a really emotional experience, because the main characters had quite a lot of depth toward their personality, and the way they portrayed that gave me all kinds of feelings throughout the game, like sorrow, pity, regret etc.

What more can you expect from Square Enix? :D

Oh my god, this part of this game made me cry a bit...never knew you could get that much emotion in a rhythm game :'s

anyway, I emotionally got involved with Michael's story in Grand Theft Auto V..I don't know why, but most of it sounded like stuff you'd see in the real world to me..at least, most. Not the bank robbery stuff, but the other things.

The Last of Us! My boyfriend and I tandem played that game and clung to the story with wide eyes. The game is like a movie, but I was much happier playing it than watching it. It's so living, even if it's about undead people :p Just, amazing.

Also Little Big Adventure, haha, because for such a cartooney game, the stort was unexpectedly broad and deep and twisting and the environments still today make me go wow and it actually took me years to finish that damn thing because I was learning English by playing it and got stuck all the time xD

For me, it would be pokemon. I've played it for so many years that I really get into it more and more. I also really get into the Final Fantasy games too. I could play those two for hours on end trying to grind and level up my characters just to beat the next level. I just get into them so much that I feel like I'm part of them, and I am the main character.
