No, not the insane bloodlust that comes with shooters, or God of War. Games that made you laugh, cry, or both.

For me, it was BioShock 2. Seriously. The ending got me all choked up. it's not just a shooter, it's a philisophical journey. Deep man. Watch the ending here, but you won't get the full feel.

What games have made you feel?

Mass Effect and Mass Effect II.

Half Life 2--one of the VERY few games that I became very emotionally involved in.

I suppose for games that made me feel actually a little jumpy and scared there's Resident Evil 4 and Silent Hill.

And I know you ruled out shooters, but Modern Warfare made me very melancholy seeing my player-character die in first person. And Modern Warfare 2 made me angry and revulsed with the level in which you slaughter hundreds of innocent people in an airport.

Definitely the ending of Mass Effect 2. No other final boss made me yell at the screen "Rot in Hell, you abomination."

Also the ending of Borderlands DLC4 when Claptrap kills Marcus, one of only a few characters who never tried to stab you in the back, and one of your few real allies on Pandora. Then I had to take that little yellow bitch down.

I liked the bad guy in the game. I understood his reasoning for trying to destroy organic life. But processing humans as fuel...is wierd. But he was trying to save humanity from a power "infinately" our "greater". Play th egame again, he says that they are our "salvation through destruction". They where trying to save us...from somthing.

You're half right on a few things.

-They weren't turning melted down humans into Reaper food, they were turning melted down humans into a Reaper.

-They aren't trying to save us from something "infinitely our greater." They ARE something infinitely our greater. The "salvation through destruction" was Harbinger's way of saying "Becoming one of us will be the greatest." Hence why he calls what they plan to do with the abducted humans "ascension." They believe being a Reaper is the highest form of existence.

-He calls it "Salvation" because, like it or not, the Reapers ARE returning. Harbinger claims we have two choices: Being painfully melted down so your body can be part of a gigantic eldritch abomination of a robot, (Like they were doing) or being forcefully modified, genetically and cybernetically, into a slave race. (Like what they did to the Protheans)

-Boy oh boy Mass Effect 3 is going to be a doozy.

EDIT: -Third option: Total extinction.

Well, my idea is possible. It may not be true, but its possible. Some one else said that they might be trying to save the humans from AI's because I guess they've been around humans more and they know how to get into their minds. Like at one point in the game, if you talk to Joker on the ship, you find out that EDI was adgitating Joker and she was using his emotions against him to make him mad. Maybe the AI's have somthing along those lines, but in a greater scale.

The only people doing any saving were Shepard and his team. The "salvation" Harbinger spoke of means you are part of a Reaper, the highest form of life there is. (So they say) They're "saving" you from being organic. Also, Reapers each have their own AI, so no, Reapers aren't trying to save you from AI.

To put things clearly, when the villain or villains of a story say they're saving you, they aren't.

EDI was screwing with Joker because Joker was screwing with EDI. When someone pulls a prank on you, you retaliate, don't you? AI are hated because of how unpredictable and dangerous they can be, with the geth being the biggest example.

Read the Mass Effect Wiki. It'll help.

Quite a few games have made me feel, but the biggest and best example would have to be The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Kingdom Hearts was a bit sad. They killed off a lot of my fave characters.

Legend of Zelda is epic.
