Morgoth Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Yeah, she too. Rain makes everything better.
mr insomniac Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Has anyone felt compassion for any character in ANY game? Nordom. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Has anyone felt compassion for any character in ANY game? Yes, although it's rare and unusual. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Guest Slinky Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Has anyone felt compassion for any character in ANY game? There's a kid in Fallout 2, who has lost his teddybear. If you find it, you can rip it to peaces in front of the kid. I've done that only once, because it feels so damn bad to do that.

Enoch Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Willy Beamish's frog, I really wanted that guy to win the frog jumping race. I remember that one! Entertaining, but frustrating. As I recall, there were far too many ways you could screw up in ways that would not be obvious until much much later in the game, forcing huge-backtracking reloads or restarts.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Has anyone felt compassion for any character in ANY game? Andrew Ryan, Wander (Shadow of the Colossus) and at some point Kreia. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Purkake Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Andrew Ryan was kind of an arrogant douche if you ask me. Also, I kind of felt that the Mafia guy was living on borrowed time anyway and knew that he would get what was coming to him.
Maria Caliban Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) Hmmm, did anyone feel any compassion to any character in Mass Effect? Sure. I don't think of NPCs as walking XP or quest givers, so when I learn that the army is holding the corpse of a man's wife for study and all he wants is to give her a proper burial, I feel compassion. When I learn the life story of a woman who was taken by Batarian slavers at a young age, I also feel compassion. Has anyone felt compassion for any character in ANY game? I have. All the time.

HoonDing Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I felt really bad initially upon seeing how Renegade FemShep handled that fanboy in the Citadel... but then I laughed. Same happened with executing the one Asari on Feros & the other one in Virmire. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Same happened with executing the one Asari on Feros & the other one in Virmire. The paragon option for the asari on Virmire made no sense. How is that woman supposed to outrun an explosion that's miles wide? And if she did survive the explosion, what is she going to do on an uninhabited world? She "When is this out.

Malcador Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I felt really bad when Jock died in Deus Ex, partly as it was my screw up for not doing anything after seeing the Odd Mechanic, pft. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Maria Caliban Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 .. Jock dies? "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Purkake Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) .. Jock dies? If you don't discover the bomb, he dies after dropping you off at Area 51. "Oh my god, JC. A bomb!" Edited September 10, 2009 by Purkake
entrerix Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Has anyone felt compassion for any character in ANY game? hell yes. several times. but the most poignant was my horse in Shadow of the Colossus. I seriously almost shed a tear when the horse saved my life at the end... you know what im talking about if you've played it. one of the saddest moments in gaming in my opinion. i actually get emotionally connected to the cast of final fantasy 8 too. and Vivi in FF 9. dude, and otocan. when his sister bites the bullet and the parrot says his name and he starts freaking out and crying. oh man, i felt so sorry for him. maybe its cause im close with my little sister or something, but i definitely remember that moment as being sad as all hell. that was MGS 2 i think... this is actually a good idea for a thread.... Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Purkake Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) Ugh FF8. A new thread is not a bad idea... Maybe I can remember a character as well. Edited September 10, 2009 by Purkake
Shryke Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Ugh FF8. A new thread is not a bad idea... i found it fun enough for a while, then they busted out the "OMG we all grew up at the same orphanage and the chick we tried to assassinate looked after us?!" when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

entrerix Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 i found it fun enough for a while, then they busted out the "OMG we all grew up at the same orphanage and the chick we tried to assassinate looked after us?!" yeah for sure that part was wicked lame. so was ultimecia in general, adon would have been a better villain. BUT... by the time the game is over and im watching the final cinematic... i dunno, i feel a little heartbroken that its all over. plus holy crap, the scene where squall picks rinoa up and tries to carry her piggyback all the way to that wierd country. that was some tenderness that got to me too. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

I want teh kotor 3 Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Makai Kingdom. I love this game. Lord Zetta is the greatest character in any game ever. NIS is my hero. Has anyone felt compassion for any character in ANY game? My Oblivion character. 300 hrs. will do that, I guess. Barring that, then not really. In 7th grade, I teach the students how Chuck Norris took down the Roman Empire, so it is good that you are starting early on this curriculum. R.I.P.
