When you play a video game, do you get emotionally invested in it? Do you feel for the characters and the events in the story?

part of how i judge a game is whether or not i feel something for the characters

No, but I do in TV series.

Depends. For KH, of course I got emotional.

I'm a solid wall of impenetrable feels.

If you didn't cry when Xion died, you're not human. Even roxas cried, and he's a nobody

Yes I do especially in Persona 3 at this part I'm about to get to in October and In Persona 4 around December I believe damn those just tug at your heart strings!!!

It depends on the game really. Great examples of my emotional investment would be The Last of Us, Uncharted, Zelda, Mario & Luigi's recent game: Dream Team has some pretty emotional parts, and of course KH.

At first, I laughed, because Roxas' question caught me off guard, but I understood it, and every time I watch that scene.....even hear or think about Xion's theme, I can't hold it back. The tears have to let loose.

The Walking Dead Season One... o.e

I get emotionally invested in anything that has characters I enjoy. 

Depends on the game.... like Kingdom Hearts =3 

Yes, I get heavily emotionally invested in video games. To me, there's just no other way to enjoy them. Unless the game was written poorly, or was just an overall unpleasant game, I can't really imagine or picture not being emotionally invested in any game to a certain degree.

The Walking Dead Season One... o.e

The only Walking Dead related thing I like. Season 2's already 372% more feelsy than Season 1, and that's just one episode.

I refuse to play Season Two...no more Walking Dead ever again

I'm not playing either, just watching. Episode One is too much pressure on me with Season Two.

Such an intense game- I didn't even wanna buy it, it just came with my Vita!

DAYS made me mist up like a bitch at the end. 

And when Emma RavenHearst got killed in Escape From Ravenhearst, I literally got upset. 

I cried a bit at the end of FF 13-2

Most every game I play invests me emotionaly if it has a good story and relatable characters. A have a heart afterall

No, but I do in TV series.

 

You don't, and yet you play KH? Makes no sense to me, but you are you, I am I, I guess.

That's a good guess.

No . It's just a game .

Not really...sometimes though...it depends

358/2 Days, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team/ Explorers of the Sky .-.

Fool. Impossible game always gets to me.

Yep. I'm pretty sentimental. ._.

Al the time, but the only game I've cried over so far is the ending to Crisis Core.
