IT'S JUST A GAME

*VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS*
Is it really just a video game? This is a video dedicated to some of the most amazing moments in games that I have had the opportunity to play. Video games have been a big part of my life and have become my favorite method of storytelling that exists today. People can write off video games as a lower form of storytelling but I hope this video can show that video games can have just as much emotional poignancy as film. Here's to the amazing moments created by some pretty incredible game developers. Hope you enjoy!

"We get dirty" "The world gets clean" And Cayde 6's death hit me the hardest

[@funtourhawk]

how they literally showed it in the trailer...

[@PITviper217]

Just because they showed it in the trailer doesn’t mean anything. The build up of Last Call mission was enough to lead you into a false sense of security. The beginning was actually fun… being able to run around with Cayde and fight alongside him because we’d never been able to do that before. You’d almost forgotten about the trailer entirely until the Riffleman’s shot rips you from your precious dream world and slams you so hard back into reality your soul is a crushed, mangled mess. Least that’s what it did to me.

[@THERATSANDTHERATS]

Cayde's "Tell them that the vanguard that it was the best bet I ever lost" gets me every time, Hunter lore talks about how they usually ALL hate the position of vangaurd because it limits freedom, something all hunters intensely desire, but Cayde loved them, he loved his fire team, his friends, his family, he didn't care what he lost, he gained so much more. Hes the only hunter Vanguard I can think of to love the position.

Yes these are “just games”. That may be what they are to some people. But to us, they are stories. These are the lives of amazing characters who many of us can relate to. I feel like a lot of people think of video games as these violent fantasies, but there is so much more. There is real emotion and a real story in these games. These are characters we learn to connect with and love just like those of our favorite movies. It’s not about how a video game looks or how well its mechanics work, etc. It’s about how these “games” make us feel. If a game reaches out to you and truly makes you feel emotion than it is more than “just a game”.

"It's just a game"... Maybe it is... For them. But not for us. For us, it's a story we can live another life through. It's a story that we can truly get involved with. And that is my reason for loving the games I do.

I have two little sisters about 10 years of age. When I went to my bud's house to play The Last of Us, that opening scene gave me a gut punch so hard I had to put the controller down and go outside for air. Destroys me every time still. Amazing game.

[@yawarapuyurak3271]

same with me and my little sister. she is 16, not so little anymore. Yet I still feel strongly to the idea of what I wouldn't do to protect her.

[@ThatFoolishBoy]

Sarah’s death hurt before I was a father. Now that I have a daughter? It is gut wrenching.

I feel the same way for my adopted daughter.

video games saved my life as a kid it got me threw some really dark times when i was afraid and alone.. i love video games its apart of me its who i am and i will never change who i am

[@Shawn5729]

Sarah's death from The Last of Us always gets me because she's so young and she's gone so fast. Even though we only know her for like 10 minutes it still feels like such a gut punch when she's just killed off like that. What makes it even worse though is that she wasn't even killed by the zombies but by soldiers(?), and she didn't even die right away. We had to sit there as a man tries to save his only daughter as she bleeds out in his arms, full of pain and fear. They just evoke so much emotion in that single scene and it completely fucks me up every single time I see it.

[@terrimoran4428]

What else gets me about her death are her whimpers. It's like every one cuts me to my core.

[@thegamingwaffle1234]

It’s how realistic it is. The voice acting is incredible and it makes it feel so heartbreaking

[@DTZM]

On the otherhand it’s beautiful bc she didn’t have to witness what the world came to. Joel met Ellie bc of her death and Joel got to have his own daughter and learned to love all over again. Ellie lost herself but found herself again. Sad, but beautiful

DUDE HOW DID THIS MAKE ME FEEL SO MUCH I AM CRYING NOW THANKS ALOT

[@380_jet]

Ive never played any of these games (idk how) but i can feel the emotion coming from every clip. And even though i dknt know the scenes i cryed along with everyone who has played these games. Games are the truest form of story telling because people can make any story they want and can pour their emotion into their amazing creations. This is why i love the gaming comunity and why i want to become a major part of it during my life. The best part about life is the times we felt the strongest emotions wether they be good or bad, and games can do that perfectly. These are some of the reasons i love society and every creation that has broutht us to this point because we might not be here without them. And thank you for listening to me rambling on.❤

I sadly didn’t grow up playing some these games (I didn’t have a console till like 2015), one of my biggest regrets (I don’t even call myself a “gamer” because of it). But they still hit me in my feels, a testimony to the greatness of these games.

These are all great moments in their own right, but I swear Titanfall 2 has to be one of the most underrated games ever released. Everything about that campaign was an epic experience. More than a few tears for BT by the end of that game.

[@hyjuta8416]

It's amazing how we have more and more video games with depth, a deep story and a lesson for each person. On the contrary, we also have more and more bad movies, trying to follow boring trends, movies that should be better, and now the studio wants to replace AI for actors, too bad. In stark contrast to the fact that actors are appearing in more and more games. The boundary between movies and games is closer than ever.

The phrase “it’s just a game” is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you’ve lost twice.

Ninja quote😳

[@allster0crowly]

Anger and frustration are natural responses, but it is the misplaced use of or how one uses it that causes people to see it as bad, remember anything can be and often will be misused, somethings though are just alot easier to use the wrong way than the right way to use them.

[@constantine.726]

@@allster0crowly Very well written.

[@lilpandasdancin]

I get that you may get mad at losing but there is no reason to be mad and break stuff at the end of the day you didn't lose anything but the game. games are meant to challenge you mentally not make you lash out in anger and if a game dose make you lash out in anger you shouldn't be allowed to have them

Gaming has been most of my life, and it means everything to me. It's never a game. It's not just some pixels. It's not just fiction. It's emotion. It's a story. It's development. It's human. It's being human. It's feeling emotion. It's sympathy. Empathy. It's a world. It's effort. It's anger. Sadness. Joy. It's beautiful, the way a group of people can create such wonderful things.
