I want to be near tears at the end, I want to be moved in a way that only something with a compelling story can do. I'm tired of games like CoD being nothing but action, any suggestions?

LoZ feel type of game would be wonderful.

As weird as this sounds, the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 singe player. Not even joking. You'll end up playing through the game for the characters' sake rather than the story and gameplay. Not really a sad ending, but there's a death in there. (Out of 259825938 dead Russians)

Try 'Dear Esther'

It's not your regular type of game, but this game really is a piece of art

It will move you and make you think about it no other game has ever did

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Dear Esther is a trick. It's easy to figure out if you've read any of the short stories it's based on, and it's much too dry to be emotionally engaging.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

a trick? i don't think you understood the game, the goal isn't to make it to the end the fastest so that you can find out plot twists, its to be told a story as you explore an incredibly beautiful place. please elaborate on this trickery

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

The trick: it pretends to have a good story and pretends to be engaging and pretends to have a mystery to solve, but it never delivers on any of these things. Instead, the player makes it to the ending with a dull story, no mystery, and no engagement. It doesn't even have gameplay (which, I admit, I wasn't much disappointed by, because I wasn't expecting it.) It's a slideshow with narration.

Also, the plot was very predictable. My friend and I both predicted the ending very early.

You're right about one thing though: it's pretty. I personally don't like the textures, but it's nice to look at overall.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

did you play the original mod? you are not meant to figure anything out, you are not meant to solve a mystery. if you predicted the ending then i guess i can understand your disappointment but like i said, its not meant to trick you into believing you are in control because you're not, hence why it is narrated to you, even tho you are the main character. not a trick, just different.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I know you're not meant to figure anything out or to solve a mystery. That's exactly what I said. I think you're wrong about it not being meant to trick you into believing you are control - it actually gives you controls (WASD) as if it was a game, but it's more of slideshow with narration. I'd much rather watch a movie or play a game than "experience" Esther.

If one wants to take this literally then Dreamfall: The Longest Journey the closest thing to a game that could make me cry. It's very depressing and sad in parts. An excellent game too, if not quite up to it's predecessor.

If you just want a wonderful emotionally involving story then Planescape Torment is a terrific option.
