They're alright I guess

has a video game ever made you cry? im asking everyone. i dont understand how there are people on this earth that have cried because of a fucking video game. it just blows my mind that its possible, unless youre a fucking woman. makes sense in that case. and i mean an actual woman, not some hormone slurping basket case.

I don't trust people who can't emotionally connect with fiction.

>>4635508
Many people have different levels of emotional investment, become more emotionally affected by different things, and most importantly aren't edgelords like you.

>>4635516
I don't trust people who can. Some people take it too far.

>>4635519
not being an edgelord, man. i sincerely don't get it unless you're a woman. video games have a layer of abstraction that film, prose or music has. the mechanical skill and adherence to a games logic peels me away from a strong emotional grip being gained.

>>4635516
ah, well.

I teared up a little my first time playing EB Zero.

-After telling the
story to Ninten,
-with a rush of
wind, Queen Mary
vanished.
-As she disappeared,
so did Magicant.
-Magicant was a
mirage...
-A mirage born of
Maria's
consciousness.

If you're genuinely not being edgy, that's fine. If it makes you feel any better, sometimes I get down on myself for crying over literally everything, as long as it's fictional. In fact, I got more emotional over plenty of video game scenes, even just hearing songs, than I got from IRL people that I knew actually dying. Not that I was close with em, but it's still weird.

Hohoho. No.

fuck off

FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFF

>>4635427
Wtf is there to cry about?

>>4635549
This

>>4635532
You might be an autist, a real one not a meme one

>>4635508
Earthbound got me twice, and Chrono Trigger got me once. Without spoiling anything, EB got me during the sequence of events that unfolds during the final boss fight and during the credit roll. Chrono Trigger got me during the default ending.

>>4635661

because video games don't make me cry?

>>4635675
Probably because you seem to be socially retarded. Just because you don't personally feel a certain way does not stop you from understanding that other people might react to things differently.

For you to not understand this indeed makes you appear legitimately, literally autistic.

>>4635678

on the contrary. i'm a very social person and the grand majority of people would consider someone who gets overly emotional at video games weird or quite literally autistic. music, movies, or an eye opening book are acceptable to get emotional at. that's the common view. it's funny you mention social retardation and mental illness, as i assumed that (especially considering where i'm asking this), but now i'm more inclined to believe it. thanks chief.

>>4635549
I agree that 3 is the worst of the three with the worst setting (They ditched the concept of modern day from the first two games for some weird shit) but to call it leftist propaganda? Now that's bullshit and yeah the N64 version had a better design for Flint and Duster also Flint as the MC and Lucas as the last Party member would have been better than having to carry that damn dog the whole game,Also

>>4635715
That's the autist view, really

>>4635508
you fucking idiot. the game does not make them cry. the game's resemblence to actual events in thier lives and things they care about is what makes them cry.

you don't cry because you don't care about anything. you were beaten down and you gave up everything.

>>4635549
>leftist propaganda
If it was leftist propaganda, the Pig Mask Army would be the good guys.
But it's not really propaganda at all, it's a video game based on a novel called The Notebook.

I can SMELL the soy coming off this thread.

>>4635985
haha, funny meme!

>>4635938
You literally fight porky (an insult for rich capitalists) who come from a highly industrialized metropolis and are encroaching on your anarcho-primitivist enclave. It's totally pro-communist.

>the Pig Mask Army would be the good guys.
>he actually thinks leftism = authoritarianism
Read a book, nigga. True communism is stateless.

>>4635993
>left vs right/communism vs capitalism dichotomy
yawn.
It's not pro-communism, and yes, communism is historically authoritarian. What the books say doesn't really matter, it's what men actuall did.

wow what a thread it started out with mother 1 and immediately devolved into autists talking about politics

>>4636008
Just one guy who wants to force his narrow-minded political views onto the works of a Japanese man.

>>4636008
>Games= time waste
>Politics= respondible for everyone's daily lives
Why are you surprised?

>>4636021
Politics are just memes. Nobody benefits from politics other than politicians and businessmen who work with them.

>>4635427
It made me cry over how boring it was.

>>4635508
Ever heard of catharsis? Can't wait for this civilization to die already.

>>4636000
>It's not pro-communism
Yes, it is.

>and yes, communism is historically authoritarian.
There have been stateless socialist societies before. You probably only know of the USSR and Maoist China, because you play too many videogames and don't read enough books.

>What the books say doesn't really matter, it's what men actuall did.
If you want to get technical, the theory is more important than how idiots incorrectly interpreted Marx's work in some instances.

>>4635537
yeah even with the 80's prototype translation it manages to give me feels

>>4636043
>Yes it is, there is NO WAY something wouldn't be outside of my left/right dichotomy
Both communism and capitalism are outdated, gramps. Get with the times. Islam is the future.

also has the best OST release of any NES game

Why are some people so emotionally weak that they cry over nothing? It's very vaginal.

>>4636043
>Yes, it is.
In what part of Mother 3 do they address any Marx/communist idea?
Criticizing capitalism isn't a communist-exclusive thing, you know.

>>4636008
That's because they haven't played Mother 1
Mother 3 is NOT FUCKING RETRO and all these retards screaming about its """""politics""""" should be deleted & banned.

>>4635930
lol it's just a video game dude. not crying over a video game isn't giving up everything. jesus how hyperbolic to you have to be? you take drama class or something, you myopic goober?

>>4636038
yeesh. i'd recommend going out more.
