Hey Poor Player's Kenny McKee writes- "Usually, when someone is asked to give an example of an exceptionally-made piece of media that they find to be emotional, the answers usually arent too hard to predict; Titanic, The Notebook, even Christmas Shoes are all relatively common answers. Coincidentally these answers, as well as the many others that one may hear when asking such a question, do not come from the same media platform platform. Rather, each of the listed answers could potentially be put into platforms unique to them. Music, movies, books, poetry and more, each have the ability to render a person emotionally vulnerable due to the intimate and soul-bearing content which resides within. While all of these media forms most certainly do have the ability to evoke emotion, there is yet one more source of media that people skin over; video games."
