Any games with an inspiring story?
It seems like games these days can not put together a story that can inspire people. Yes, there are GREAT story lines in games, but most of it goes through violence and war and it usually fails to trigger the emotional side of me. I want a game that can inspire me, maybe even make me cry. I'm talking about games such as "To the Moon", "Heavy Rain", "Final Fantasy VII". Those have all compelling stories. I want games that will make me CARE about the main characters, HURT me when a main character is hurt. I enjoy blowing the heads off of zombies as much as the next guy, but I think we all need something compelling once in a while.

Any suggestions? Thanks, and happy holidays! :D

Deus ex "1" and Human Revolution might be what you're looking for an inspiring story. And that's it I don't know more stories to "make you cry", but just games with great stories.

it is not really a game but "Dear Esther" might interest you

Not sure about Dear Esther, I didn't notice any storyline only incoherent drivel. And it's not a game, it has no gameplay whatsoever.

The Longest Journey, Syberia, the Blackwell series, Primordia are examples for games with immersive stories and lovable main characters.

This shouldn't be hard. Most games I buy these days make me cry.

Mass effect 2 - so many good story arcs as you progress through the game. If you havent played it its awsome. Lots of atmosphere and really fun gameplay. Really well done chracter interaction as well.

To The Moon has a great story as does The Walking Dead. Bastion has a interesting story as well.

Assassin's Creed has a pretty good story.

I third the Mass Effect trilogy. And apparently Walking Dead is emotional as well.

The Walking Dead, Mass Effect (a must if you're a sci-fi fan), or Bastion.
