Games that psychologically/emotionally scarred you

why do idiots eat up the shitty story of a shit game that tries to force the message of "violence in video games is bad bro."

>You know why i dont feel bad for gunning down those civvies in Modern Warfare?

I think there is something wrong with you. When I played "No Russian" for the first time, I didn't expect it, and when others started shooting at civilians I was shocked, and basically didn't do anything but just walked. In my mind it was okay If I would fail the mission, but I couldn't get myself to shoot at civilians.

Then I saw my brother play it for the first time, and he shot at everyone. I was like what the fuck. How could anyone be okay with it? Even if it was mandatory?

You just seem angry that you didn't get to make the decision, which is dumb because the game never gives you any actual choices anyway. Why people are obsessed with this game and its "choices" and getting mad that the player character is actually a character and not an empty husk for the player to self insert into is beyond my comprehension. How do you idiots pay attention to any kind of media? You seem like you would get mad at a tv show or a movie for not letting you make every decision for the protagonist.

>Its mandatory.
no it's not, you can go through that entire section whithout shooting a single one.

>oh wow guys spec ops the line is so original and amazing best writing ever
>What the fuck is Apocalypse Now and heart of darkness? Why do you guys keep bringing them up?

Because its a fucking video game you sperg it isnt real, they're not real.

>DUE YOU BURNED THOSE ARABS
Yes and?

>"violence in video games is bad bro."
Are you fucking retarded? The game doesn't ever even try to give off this message.

Yeah jews must have had a fun time playing spec ops, no doubt. But I'm talking to human beings here.

Because it's a fucking video game? You aren't shooting real people, dumb ass.

Perhaps I immerse myself in videogames too much. Something psychologically blocked me and I couldn't do it. Till this day I haven't killed a single civilian in No Russian.

I shot them the first time. Probably because im an autist and I immerse myself in the characters head, and though you may not want to, you'd have to shoot them to not risk blowing your cover.

Pussy bitch, kek.

Or just more principled and not an animal.

Why does Yea Forums suddenly get to pissed off about Spec Ops? We never had this problem before. You guys actually seem like triggered redditors whenever talking about this game.

Oh no, the poor one's and zero's. What ever will they do?

How? I've done 3 playthroughs of that game and nothing affected me negatively. I enjoyed the narrative the game had to offer about a soldier going mad from the guilt of the atrocities he has committed. If you view the loading screen messages as anything but flavor text to further get you into his mindset than you're fucking retarded

>what is immersion

B-but what about self inserting?!??

I can get immersed while playing a game without actually self inserting into the fucking thing like an autistic loser, because I know that it's just a video game and even if I killed someone in it the game has no actual bearing on me or anything in reality. You sound fucking dumb.

thats what silent protags and self made rpg characters are for, and this is neither of them

I think OP is a dumbass who's mistaking disturbing content for impacting content.

The content is disturbing sure, in theory, but in practice its not all that much more than an attempt lame attempt at guilt tripping the player.

Self inserting isn't that autistic. i do it on most rpg's which leads me to feeling kind of bad when i kill someone who didn't need to be killed, but OP doesn't stop there, he feels bad when a soldier who is his own character kills someone, which i guess can be fine if OP didnt claim to be emotionally scarred from a goddamn videogame

thats hardcore bro

user im not trying to sound hardcore im just pointing out how little fictional violence affects me.

>Self inserting isn't that autistic.
Yes it is, especially when people do it for games where self inserting clearly isn't the game intent. Then you get pissy when the game insults the player character and retards like you end up taking it personally and you never stop screeching about it. The concept of not self inserting and experiencing someone else's journey seems completely lost on people like you.

i don’t see how this game fucks you up. the combat was good but the story was a snore fest

I'm mostly agreeing with you, which is why I stated I mostly do it in rpg's, which is something you're encouraged to do most times. It is pretty autistic to do to a character you didnt make yourself.

Also I think we're talking about different levels of self insertion, my feelings don't get hurt by dialogue. I couldn't play through ace combat 7 if that were the case.

>suddenly
I don't think I've ever seen a Spec Ops thread where it wasn't a debate between people that hated it and people who loved it.

What about people who OK it?

They get drowned out by the first two, usually.

oh stop with this fucking ruse
>game orders you to do something
>only possible option is to do the thing

ARENT YOU A BAD PERSON??? U SHOULD HAVE QUIT PLAYING THE GAME

fucking bite me. teenagers acting like this moment was emotionally impactful on Yea Forums in order to form some sheeplike group experience was the most gag inducing moment of this board ive seen in 13 years

Another fucking self insert tard with only 5 brain cells. What a shocker.

>that screenshot

my autism just amplified by 1000 what is this

So which ending do you think is the best, Yea Forums? You turned Walker in to atone and not die like a bitch, right?

>thinking the game is talking to you

what a fucking loser

>game chastises you for playing the game in the only availaable manner

This is garbage though.

If the game had another option that was harder but spared them, it'd be better. It'd directly show the consequences of your decisions.

>621 ton object with an aperture of 15cm

I am scared of this weapon

When are you idiots going to realize that the game isn't shitting on the player for whatever happens? It's shitting on the protagonist. Last time I checked, you aren't the protagonist of the story.

The first time I played it I got the suicide ending.

Dont you lie and pretend the game isnt trying to kick the player for the railroaded path of the story.

You play as the protagonist, you directly control him, its meant to give you the middle finger for killing those people, thats why you play that section you retard.

lol ebig trolling!! everyone understood the obvious fourth wall breaking moment wrong!!

This. I platinum'd the game on ps4 and beat it 3 times and never did I feel like devs were abusing me for playing the game. Walker though, fucked up.

>being such a huge retard that you can't even make an argument on how we're wrong in any way

SAD!

The protagonist, Walker, is his own character. You control him as the player, since he is obviously the player character and you aren't watching a movie, but you aren't actually him and the game doesn't expect this form people. God fucking damn it, why is this so hard to understand? You self-obsessed self insert retards are infuriating.

Retard confirmed.

A game you've been wanting all your life.

Is White Phosphorous really capable of doing that kind of shit? Is it that temporary that Walker and gang can walk in just fine after a few minutes of raining that shit on the enemy?

>There was this point where the pain of the product began to show itself within the project. It reached this point where it was like, "Oh, you want to play this kind of game for fun? Fuck you, I'll show you what's fun about this." And it just started to turn. But once we started to analyze that emotion in that sense we were like, well, actually, there is something here. There is something to this that is very real and which should be said.

>Developer literally says "Oh, you want to play this kind of game for fun? Fuck you, I'll show you what's fun about this."

>The developer is wrong about his own game

An astute gamer will notice that you have to bomb the humvee on the bridge which sets off the fire in the tunnel, only a shitty retard would bomb the tunnel directly.

it a shitty game that says the only winning play is to not play the fucking game.

No wonder their sales went to shit.

yikes

Look up some real war photos, shit's horrific. It's not a conspiracy, it's just popular websites usually don't host the most gruesome images.

The entire message of the game is "You know this is wrong and horrible. You know this would end in suffering and misery, so, why did you keep going?"
It's not telling you to put down the controller and stop playing. It's asking you why you kept playing
Much like how Walker kept going despite causing nothing but harm on his journey.

>Walt Williams: There are 3 challenges when trying to create a scene like “White Phosphorus.” The first, and to me this was the biggest challenge we faced throughout the game, was making it feel organic. It would have been very easy for a game like Spec Ops to fall back on exploitation and shock value. But we made a choice early on that every horrific moment in the game had to be earned. If it wasn’t the obvious result of cause and effect, and if it wasn’t absolutely key to the narrative, then we threw it out.

>The second challenge was getting the Player to take part in such a terrible act. This is where the brilliant designers at Yager had the idea of mimicking the “Death From Above” mission in Modern Warfare. The idea was that we, as gamers, have been trained to disconnect from a game when the gameplay experience drastically changes. We stop thinking about the enemies as Soldiers and instead see them as glowing dots that need to be turned off. Once the Player disconnects from the reality of the situation, something truly horrible happens. And it hits Players in the gut, because now they have to face the consequences of their actions. They don’t get teleported to the next location. They have to face the human cost of their actions.

>Finally, the third challenge is animation. Writing a scene for an actor is very different than writing it for an animation team. Walker’s reaction to what he has done is told almost entirely through his facial expressions. Again, that we were able to pull this scene off is due entirely to the amazing animators at Yager.

youtube.com/watch?v=_84rpG86XcE This video shows no aftermath but im surprised by how accurate the round looks and sounds in the game while shooting.

Yeah, and its hard to put out. One of the best methods of dousing white phosphorous flames is to cut off all its oxygen contact, since it burns when exposed to air. But if it gets exposed to air again it will immediately start burning. So then the real best way to get it put out is to submerge the white phosphorous in water, which works but after around 5 minutes after being submerged it will have dried, since it begins to burn after being exposed to oxygen, and it gets hot enough to just ignite itself on fire.

As the viewer, you god damned retard. Kill yourself, seriously. You are way too fucking stupid.

Wait what? I don't remember the white phosphorus bit being optional.

What does this have to do with anything? Are you just pulling up random developer interviews as if what they say during these snippets actually has any bearing on the current discussion?

I think they missed the mark when my reaction to seeing all those huddled people that it wouldn't let me not-blow up was "Pfffffffff"

Are you illiterate? Can you read past one sentence?

>Once the Player disconnects from the reality of the situation, something truly horrible happens. And it hits Players in the gut, because now they have to face the consequences of their actions. They don’t get teleported to the next location. They have to face the human cost of their actions.

Right there. His direct words.Not the protagonists actions, THEIR actions. The PLAYERS actions.

I wish more games let us kill burgers

Because you are literally arguing the opposite of what the developer himself intended that scene to come off as you fucking moron.

Stop acting smart, you're stupid.

It's not if you want to proceed or have cheats or something. If you go down on foot you'll be overwhelmed.

And you seem to be ignoring the part where at this part he isn't even specifically talking about Spec Ops and just general game development. He even says, right before that point, that he wants the player to take part in the experience. God fucking damn you are really fucking stupid.

>Walt Williams: There are 3 challenges when trying to create a scene like “White Phosphorus.”

>Walker’s reaction to what he has done is told almost entirely through his facial expressions. Again, that we were able to pull this scene off is due entirely to the amazing animators at Yager.
You posted it, not me. Learn to pick your quotes properly, next time and make sure you pick something that doesn't make you look like a fucking dumb monkey.

Are you some kind of retard who doesnt understand that the scene is meant to reflect on both the player and the main character simultaneously?

>we want the player to take part in the experience
>the part about how the interviewee specitically talks about walker's actions and how he reacts to them with facial expressions

Yup, retard confirmed. You posted something which doesn't even help your own argument.

And you call anyone else the retard? The game isn't a self insert story and you still haven't actually bothered posting something proving otherwise.

>Writing a scene for an actor is very different than writing it for an animation team. Walker’s reaction to what he has done is told almost entirely through his facial expressions
Yes, but the game is obviously supposed to be a self insert story. Yeah, totally. Which is why the dev team constantly describes the game as Walker's story and constantly talk about him as an individual character who make a load of decisions which bite him in the ass while you watch his slow descent into madness. No, he's totally just a blank slate action-less persona character with no supposed free will and every decision he made was done by the player. Retards like you are hwy games are so fucking shit now, people have to make games to be tailored to low IQ dumb fuck self insert obsessed retards like yourself.

Are you autistic or something?

You play as some kind of eldritch abomination, the result of an experiment, locked inside a big mansion. You will get stronger the more you consume people. One day, some girls were stranded/wandered into your mansion because of an inevitable circumstances, and you start your hunt while learning about their past during your "interaction" with them. The abused girl story somewhat got me.

Isn't that exactly what you're arguing about? Why are you getting mad at people bringing up something thst you specifically argue for? God damn, you really are stupid aren't you?

fucking idiot

Why are threads of this old ass one-and-done game suddenly being spammed?

Faggot, this game always had threads since 2012. They are the same exact threads everytime, but its a very popular game to discuss.

This. Without any player agency it’s just another plot point.

Max Payne was the first game I thought of when I saw this thread, but for me it was empowering

You're specifically arguing about self insertion and even tried saying that the developers intended for it with direct quotes from an interview. Why are you getting pissy when people bring that up? The only retard here is you.

Spec Ops has had thread here ever since it released, newfag.

The entire point of that scene was that they couldn't just shoot their way through, there were turret installations, APC's and dozens of soldiers. The only way to get through was to use the White Phosphorous. Dumb animefaggot.

The pic? Yuru Yuri. Is a good anime if you like comedy and slice of life, don't expect actual yuri on it because there's not nearly enough, the focus is on humor.

The game? Tales of Abyss is anime styled, but is kinda serious for a Tales of game because of the themes it works upon, specially considering it came after Legendia, that is kinda goofy. If you want to play it, find the undub ps2 version on Romhustler, because the english voices are shit.

Where are you from?

Imagine being so weak that a video game had any impact on you aside from being fun or wasting your time.

The point is that I could just kill everyone using only my gun if given the choice, don't matter how much turrets and enemies are put there I would find a way. It''s like I didn't get to that point of the game by walking in a pavemente of enemies carcasses I putted down only with normal guns.

I know you are joking, but that game have something as a pro: The way you play influences your ending, it's all a part of your choice. I didn't went pacifist on undertale, I McFucking killed everyone in my way, and because of it the ending was meaningful, because it was my choice, it wasn't something forced by a script written by some loser hollywood reject that is now trying to push his shit into games.

If it was my choice I would just go down and fucking kill everyone with bullets. And anything that doesn't go along that way won't take a reaction away from me, because I don't project into stupid people that does stupid choices.

So WHY the hell would I be emotionally scarred, retard? Because some fool made a dumb choice?

I never got emotionally impacted by the white phosphorus scene that much but the ending where its revealed that konrad was dead and walker had just killed thousands of people and gotten his two closest buddies killed in his crusade to be seen as a hero it made me feel guilty. It also got worse after listening to the collectables and seeing how all the people we killed along the way were normal people just trying to do the best they coukd and help the people of Dubai

Actually never mind you sound like the exact kind of delusional schizoid who should be projecting onto Walker

No one is saying that you have to be scarred by anything. Not only that but you don't personally have to do something to get scarred by it. You can look at gore videos online and it can scar you, but that doesn't mean you personally had anything to do with it.

Just thinking about this right game made me appreciate Undertale right now more than I ever before.

It was a good concept that delivered its punches and critique of middle 00s shooters pretty well.
Saying it was somehow scarring is fucking retarded.

Is this game even beatable? That coin shit ruins my every run, holy fuck.

Besides of that, it's a pure goty. I liked the Berserk vibes.

A critique of middle '00s shooters would probably have meant more if anyone took those seriously to begin with. It ends up being a preachy delivery of a captain obvious message.

People only liked it, because it basically said "Fuck You CoD!"

Why does it matter if your forced to or not? The game just tells a story. That was Walker's decision. You play as Walker, not yourself. You didn't get isekai'd into the military and go insane and create a dictator to blame your problems on because you aren't Walker and that's retarded.

The idea that you = your player character was probably pushed too much by devs in interviews but the tooltips and shit like that were just to get you immersed. No shit your supposed to feel like your Walker, because that's who your playing as, an immersion is a key point in single-player story driven games.

Anyone who thinks the game is bad because you were forced to do a story segment in a single player story-driven game are just too upset that it happened and have subconscious guilt about Walker's actions.

its just a console cover shooter with clunk controls and unsatisfying shooting but somehow I'm meant to be impressed because DUDE WAR IS BAD LMAO
fuckin trash game

>when others started shooting at civilians I was shocked
As was I
>but I couldn't get myself to shoot at civilians.

Thats not the message of the game at all. Its a commentary about generic shooters, its disguised as one, but as the game progresses you find out you are not the hero that all these generic shooters make out of you and praise. You slowly delve into madness that all this killing caused to Walker. It had a much more impact back then when you bought it and thought it was just another bland shooter. And the shooting is fine, never got what people complain about it.

Anime is not real video games

>dude the horrifically unresponsive controls are a feature bro

They really arent unresponsive

>It would've been more powerful if they didnt force you to do it.
True, but then it wouldn't have fit into the plot and the character arc they had in mind. I think Yager was aware of this and just took a gamble: as long as the player does not actively try rebelling against the objective, it's as if he had had agency. While people who tried to find another way first before being railroaded into killing the civilians unfortunately are just not going to be hit as hard by that scene.

Movies don't give you the illusion of choice, this game did

You’re retarded.

That’s just the thing. You had a choice in that situation.

>>Don't pretend like it didn't leave a lasting impression on you.
The combat was so unbelievably shitty and the game made choices for me. What has scarred me is that people think the game is good in any way.

I remember that they said they wanted to do something like this, but they ran out of time to make the game.

If you're traumatized by fictional stories in a digital entertainment product you may need to immediately seek a therapist trained in cognitive behavioral therapy.

>>Alternative path is either hard as fuck or literally impossible
It's not really a path, maybe they could have put a little more work into it, but if you refuse to use the white phosphorus and shoot the soldiers directly there's snipers on the rooftops who respawn endlessly. So yeah, literally impossible.

Nice game, bro.

You are just a soulless pleb. It's ok that you can't understand spiritual things.

They wanted to do something like that but thzy didn't have time and apparently the consoles weren't powerful enought or some shit?

This is FINE bait.

So, the game is unfinished?

Holy cringe reddit

this is the police when you get your cops killed either by some mismanagement or by purpose. i couldnt finish this game at a certain point but of course no one here played the fucking game

another game overlooked by zoomers

This one would have been good if not for repetitiveness.

>A critique of middle '00s shooters would probably have meant more if anyone took those seriously to begin with.
I think media not taking war seriously is kind of the point of the meta-narrative through the game isn't it?

I fucking loved this game, really disappointed by the sequel though, too many turn based action segments.

>Games that psychologically/emotionally scarred you

>50% of thread is 2 bottom of the barrel autists screeching at each other about Spec Ops.
Thought this'd be a spoopy game thread but oh well.

That’s because Spec Ops is in the OP.

Persona 4 triggered a weeb phase during my teens that almost led me to the brink of oblivion. Probably stunted my social development for a good 3 years and I'm still recovering.

Fake and homo.
Kalashnikov shoots you if you don't kill a single civilian.

Honestly I'd kill 90% of the population if I had a button next to me that did it. Fuck innocents.

That includes you, retard.

Damn that guy must've been HUGE. Glad they took him out.

He said 90%, not 100%, you mathematically challenged troglodytic shitposting herpaderpalerpa.
