I'm too busy having fun playing the game to get all emotionally wound up in its story.
Ok, i am going to try my best to spell this out for you so even you can understand our opinion.
You start a game, you meet people, people you get to learn. Whatever the game is, you get to learn to people, get to know how they react, you learn to respect them. Shit happens but they are there.
Now in an ending like Modern warfare, the death scenes hit really hard. In the short time you played your "MIND" subconsciously gets to know those people, it is not the actually you but your subconscious which causes it. It is that part which does not differentiate between a game and reality, they are people all the same to it.
So when you have developed a relationships with those persons you got to know, the blow of them dieing is not directly powerfull, it is merely a sledgehammer strike on your subconscious. It is that part that sees it as if a friend dies.
Your actual consiousness generally subdues this, but from time to time the emotions your subconsciousness awakens are to much to fully supress, it is at those times that you become sad, mayby even cry. If you play a game for a year and during all that time you knew that person, he developed, he aged and you developed and aged... Well, the blow equals losing someone you knew well. Not a family member though.
I have never shed a tear except for 2 exception VN's.
The only game that got me close was MW.
The ending was the best i have ever seen or will see. Touching, even when i rewatch it now.
I hope you can now understand OUR opinions.
P.s. PEOPLE what ARE you doing! Give - rep to the guy just because he doesn't accept your opinion? Thats not what the system is for, don't abuse it just because you don't agree with the guy.
When using it please keep a mature neutrality on the matter.
