Attachment to fictional characters - Is it normal? - Games

[QUOTE=TheMercWithAMouth;15749065] [sp]Oh shit forgot about that when he was a badass and rescues snake from the frogs and then he say's I am Lightning[/sp][/QUOTE] "It even Rained on the Day I was Born" Raiden's Life is so hard! [sp]Nanako gets Kidnapped in Persona 4 =([/sp]

[QUOTE=Turrngait;15745201]As hard as game designers try to make them relatable I don't get attached to them at all. Is that abnormal?[/QUOTE] Same here.

Aerith's death in Final Fantasy 7 was one of the most sad moments in video game history. Caught me off guard when I was a kid, I was quite sad after that.

I get attached to vital characters in games. [sp]Reznov during the entire W@W storyline, he is badass and always jokes and laughs, whats better than that? Chernov: Poor guy got a lot of shit, but I felt sad when he died Dad in Fallout 3, was upset to see him go, I didn't actually leave the project until I was almost dead from radioactivity, I was just stood there, staring at his body. The ending for MGS4, especially the fight, that was a very emotional sequance as they slowly worse each other out. The final cutscene was pretty damn tear jerking too.[/sp] There was more but I have completely forgotten them. [editline]Edited:[/editline] The lack of spoiler tags in this thread disturbs me.

I get attached to a lot of fictional characters... :aaa:

Rebels in HL2 and[sp] the two people near the beginning (Man and wife) who die at the hands of the metrocop. I always save the woman, but have never saved the man. [/sp]I keep them alive as long as I can but we get separated and on the way back for ammo/supplies I find there mangles corpses and feel sad. [sp]Ramona's death in Call of C'thuhlu always makes me sad, she was so full of life and nice to you a second before and then you find here wrecked corpse after you release her "mom".[/sp] [sp]Dad[/sp] dieing in Fallout 3 made me sad too, and wrecked that motherfucking [sp]Autumn[/sp] the next time I saw him. If you [sp]choose to syphon oil for the Valdez[/sp] in fallout 2, [sp]they come and brutally murder the guy who helped you.[/sp] Also, when you have a friend or two and you have to kill/pick and kill one of them I genuinely think of who I should kill and why.

also, Cole in Gears of War, if he gets downed [sp]"Momma.. always told me.. I'd never die.."[/sp]

[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;15745357]When [sp]Ashley shot Wrex[/sp] in Mass Effect, I was PISSED.[/QUOTE] [sp]I was glad she did, because I wanted him to die without me getting renegade points.[/sp]

[QUOTE=gokulol;15756757][sp]I was glad she did, becuase I wanted him to die without me getting renegade points.[/sp][/QUOTE] you smooth criminal

I shotgunned that motherfucker

[QUOTE=Mudpuppy;15745173] My first spore creature.[/QUOTE] I want to play spore now. :frown:

[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;15754358]You've obviously never met Harold.[/QUOTE] Harold's a little bit of a different story. I could understand being attached to him, considering he was in Fallouts 1 and 2 as well. I never played Fallouts 1 or 2, so I wasn't attached, myself. So yes, Harold is a partial exception.

I always save the woman, but have never saved the man. [/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]I think it's impossible to save him. There are a few other instances in the game where you can save people before they die, but they die a few seconds later anyway, because you weren't supposed to save them.[/sp]

Robert Neville's dog from I Am Legend..... King Kong and the black guy from the 2005 King Kong movie.....

I've never felt any sort of emotion like sadness when a video game character dies, although sometimes I might on a TV show or movie.

Burning him made me so sad :frown: And gokulol, you are one sick fuck.

[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;15758381]I never played Fallout 1 or 2, and Harold is still my favorite character. Burning him made me so sad :frown: And gokulol, you are one sick fuck.[/QUOTE] You burned him?! You heartless son of a bitch.

[QUOTE=Markntosh;15758438]You burned him?! You heartless son of a bitch.[/QUOTE] I reloaded immediately after. His bellows stil haunt me :tinfoil:

[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;15758468]I reloaded immediately after. His bellows stil haunt me :tinfoil:[/QUOTE] You're supposed to rip out his heart, not burn him. At least ripping out his heart is how he WANTS to die.

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;15756631]also, Cole in Gears of War, if he gets downed [sp]"Momma.. always told me.. I'd never die.."[/sp][/QUOTE] Oh man, that line always gets me. Also, the first dude you kill in Hitman: Blood Money. Swing King. Loses his wife and business because of a mistake only to have not-Snoop-Dog bust up his park and break his awards. He was the only one I felt bad about killing.

I always cry in brothers in arms games :( [editline]09:02PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Lankist;15758507]Oh man, that line always gets me. Also, the first dude you kill in Hitman: Blood Money. Swing King.

something weird is that I feel bad for lazlow in half-life 2 you know in sandtraps also whenever I make a connection on someone who died in fallout 3 I always feel weird

Bioshock: Whether or not to save or harvest Little Sisters. I harvested a couple of them and felt really bad at the end. The good ending made me tear up when I finally got it.

I kill all my allies that I can and feel no guilt whatsoever, am I normal?

[QUOTE=Juniez;15758933]I kill all my allies that I can and feel no guilt whatsoever, am I normal?[/QUOTE] Nope. Infact I can just see you on the news one day.

thanks, I thought I was some kind of psycho or something.

also, I got pissed off and went on a mutant rampage when some super mutant killed Jericho in Fallout 3

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;15759670]also, I got pissed off and went on a mutant rampage when some super mutant killed Jericho in Fallout 3[/QUOTE] I accidentally killed Jericho when I blew up megaton too early...

[QUOTE=Markntosh;15759753]I accidentally killed Jericho when I blew up megaton too early...[/QUOTE] I accidentally killed Dogmeat when I left him in Megaton when the nuke detonated.

[QUOTE=LedZeppelin;15745214]In the first COD I always made sure Pvt. Elder survived. I get attached to my men in RTS games as well.[/QUOTE] I remember when Private Elder died... I was like "I thought he was invincible and going to live forever! I was upset."

Solid Snake is the only fictional character I find interesting. He's a cool guy...
