Yeah, I mean it's an alright game but moved to tears? Maybe I'm too young to understand, but I do understand that you gotta live life, ups and downs along the way.
I don't really need a game to tell me that or to open my eyes to how it's going to play out. Is this game for someone who has no idea on how it's going to be as they grow older? I can watch my parents & grandparents for that. -
its more than just a game, thats the problem i think users who just go overlook it as to simple. they look at it like they would their 360 and ps3 games. i will admit, it moved me to tears, it helps that im in a loving relationship, which is what made me sad, not dieing myself, its losing your loved ones that hits ya. its a simplistic metaphor that hits you unexpectedly. its refreshing in this day and age of instant gratification that glorifies death in our movies and games.

It didn't make me cry. However, it definitely has an emotional impact because it looks (and sounds) like those pixelated games we've grown up with. So, in my opinion, nostalgia is the main reason why people were moved to tears.

was talking with my brother about the need for a word to describe spiritual experience besides spiritual experience. the kind of experience you have from really good art, music, love, or pretty oceans and trees. i just had one when i realized i was losing pixels and giving pixels to the other pixel blobs in the world---that i was leaving parts of myself behind as i disintegrated. i was surprised, too, that i was so sad when my pixel wife died, and that wandering around wasn't nearly as much fun as it was in the first part of the game when i was alone before i got a wife.
now i'll go read the article. -
keep what is wonderful alive and express that wonderfulness to each other. I am at home bouncing off the walls with two wonderful little kittens (beginning life) while my wife is with her sister who is dying of cancer and telling her two little boys their mommy will miss them. My heart races with every phone call. I am not sure which phone call will be THE one. If this game helps you see life- I am all for it. Judging from what people are saying, I don't think I could stand to play it right now.
