anyone have any emotion inspiring games?
 * I've been angry, frustrated, elated, and astounded while playing games. I've nearly come to tears, and nearly come to blows. I've kept playing for no other reason than revenge, or sometimes recognition. Games have shocked me and bored me. I've learned, laughed, lived, and loved. I believe that all games inspire emotions. The real question is, which emotions do you seek to inspire? --Hectate 04:22, 24 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Good point! I guess I am looking for the emotions of: beauty, sadness, awe.. - Segarch 05:01, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Beauty; It's a bit more visual than emotive, however there are games that one might find beautiful to inspire an emotion of appreciation for beauty. What comes to me is the look of Paper Mario games, the flow of that Jet Li fighting/shooting game, and the simple joy of destroying - and watching that destruction - an opponent or crash-scene in Burnout 3.

Sadness; the first game that I recall making me sad was Crusader; No Remorse. I remember being sad when all the characters at the rebel base were killed at the end of a mission. I got angry too and played pretty aggressively on the next mission.

Awe; I've not played it. but the Shadow of the Collossus always awed me with the scale. World of Warcraft was another game that awed me with the scale of the world - where I could just keep running/flying for hours and not see the same thing twice. Metal Gear Solid and the sequel awed me with the convoluted story, beautiful cinematics, and giant scale of the playing spaces.

I'm sure there are more... Hectate 04:36, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
