Hey look, Giant Bomb is full of a bunch of insensitive dicks that reward someone brave enough to admit something like this with a spew of vulgarity.  Jesus Christ, this combined with the pathetic review score bitching that went on over God of War 3 has got me wishing I could go back to the early days of the site, before it became NeoGAF.

The intro part of UP was a tear-jerker. Just sayin'.

Did you also cry at the end of Peggle and/or Plants vs. Zombies?

You're part of the problem.  Why is having an emotional response to a game a bad thing?  It's just as legitimate as crying at the end of a movie.  And, who are you to say that the game "missed the mark" as far as evoking tears is concerned?  Everyone consuming any type of media has their own set of circumstances, and all of them define the reaction they'll have to anything.  Please stop using yourself as the template for human emotion.   And, just so everyone knows, crying when you think something is sad doesn't make your dick fall off.  I know it's a shocking prospect, but it's true.

This man speaks the truth, it's crazy that people want videogames to be taken seriously then laugh at someone when they have an emotional reaction to one. I don't care if you thought the plot was TEH CHEEZY ANIMEZ LOL theres no need to laugh at the OP. "

Why are people bashing this guy for crying at a video game? I have done it too. It happens. Get a life.

" I skipped the ending cinematics entirely, that's how little I cared about the story. A fun game, but the story didn't make any sense at all. Or maybe it did, if one bothered to read the datalogs. I refused to do that; just as I refused to read the Codex in Dragon Age: Origins. If a game can't convey all the basic facts you need to know - especially a game with as many lengthy cutscenes as DA:O or FFXIII - there's something seriously wrong with the storytelling in that game...

No worries, I wasn't laughing at him--just openly mocking him in a  facetious fashion.  EDIT: I just took the time to actually read your post, Dr. Phil. As I stated in the original post, I have no issue with getting emotional over actual melodrama, but if this is bringing on tears, it's only because of the despair they feel from spending 40 hours in such a short span of time to be left with such an empty experience. The reason games cannot be taken seriously is that games like Modern Warfare 2 are considered to have a plot. I've read crossword puzzles with more coherent stories. While the standards are so low, we aren't going to get very far. "

"Wow way to call me Dr Phil, thats some edgy stuff man. As for the emotional reaction this person had all you're doing is laughing at them for reacting to something differently than you would. I mean why can't all humans react exactly the same to everything. Just because you think the game is shit and empty after 40 hours that doesn't mean everyone will agree with you. Also I agree that MW2 had a pretty shitty plot, but to me that game is the equivalent of an action movie (and those get away with pretty ridiculous plots). "
