I need a game with emotion.

Yeah, I thought fat people going around on rollerskates was pretty emotional.

yeah i thought some hippy bloke with long hair and snake things coming out of his shoulders was emotional too. The Main character in The darkness was just as gay/bad as raiden.
 
I've seen Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes pre-owned for Gamecube for £12 in a shop in my local town. Is that good value and choice?

Well here's the thing: Darkness actually had a good story.
 
I don't think MGS games are emotional at all, maybe the bit with Meryl but that was it, the other games weren't really emotional..

Shenmue 1&2 are the only games that I really felt saddened by via the storyline.

I think I got it for £10 from that infamous Jersey based shop. It's a really good game and definitley rates high in the emotion department.
 
You could try hotel dusk room 215. I only started it, but it does seem like it could be quite emotional.

RE4 Wii edition? lol

I found asteroids very emotional...


I think Final fantasy games do a fairly good job of emotion (well 7-10 anyway)

I cant think of any other games that have effected me in the same way they do.

4 and 6 are pretty good in that respect too. Perhaps not to the same level as 7 onwards (excluding FFXII).

MGS3 Snake Eater was the first game I felt emotion in.

That final cutscene. *Salutes*

Agreed :) MGS3 was amazing :)

To the OP, play the MGS series, Final Fantasy 7,8,10, ICO and SOTC.

I think if you look at heavenly sword and what it is doing with motion capture you won't be saying the same thing in a few years :)

I haven't played a game that's brought any real emotion out of me for years. I want joy, sadness, fear, happiness and close friendship between characters in a game.

Shenmue wasn't to bad but that was years ago.

Please spec me a game.

Apart from my PC these are the consoles I use most often

GBA
DS lite
Gamecube
Wii

Quake 3 Arena Multiplayer. Best multiplayer game for years.

Why not 9? It's easily as emotional as any of the others. It certainly deals with a broader range of emotions that the others.

Get yourself a PS2. As it's powered by the Emotion Engine, all the games must have emotional impact. If not, then it suggests Sony's naming of their CPU was just for marketing purposes and i don't think a large company like Sony would do that.
 
Tales of Symphonia is worth a try on the GC. It's very epic, but also very anime influenced - great if you love that kind of thing, awful if you don't. Love, death, evil bad guys and heroic good ones. It's one of the games I enoyed the most on the GC and arguably the best rpg on the system.
 
Ok, i'm just gonna list all the emotional games i know of, not all of them are going to be for the platforms you own:

Final fantasy 7, 8 and 10

Deus Ex

Guild wars (sorta, the utter glee i felt when i completed prophecies was just
huge, i'm also completely attached to the characters that i have completed it with)

Ico - despite the fact that the characters dont speak a word of english, thier behavior and mannerisms speak louder than words about thier personality, the ending was painfully brilliant.

Tales of Symphonia - GC game, not amazing characters, but by the end you couldn't help but think you will miss them

MGS1 (there is a remake on the GC which i'm sure is just as good), after the fight with sniper wolf you couldnt help but feel choked

Zelda - OOT - isnt this on the wii virtual console now?

The first two Broken Sword games - can be bought for a fiver

Vandal Hearts - First emotional game i ever played to be honest

More to come once i've gone through my old game collection.

[EDIT] Resident evil 1 remake on the GC, and resident evil 4 Wii edition. That is if you consider terror a emotion :). The end of resi 4 was also particularly awesome.
