Sorry, as a writer myself I found it eyerollingly bad/cheesy at certain points. It has potential, but that potential is blindsided by a half-baked story idea and, as I said, hamfisted attempts at "emotion." I just think that in comparison to a lot of other games with deep stories and emotive content, it really doesn't match up in terms of writing quality. The artwork and music are beautiful though and I did laugh at a few points, like when Eva and Neil were talking about the spaceship at the window.

I respect your opinion and i have no idea why you felt so. But as you can see, the majority of people did get deeply touched and the game even made them cry. Maybe you weren't in the right mood while playing it or maybe you played it in long intervals ? Or maybe you're just stone hearted to things of sort ?

First of all, I'm not stonehearted. I love science fiction. I'm an avid reader and writer of scifi. I've cried my heart out over the deaths of intergalactic spaceheroes, laughed at the antics of cyberpunk pirates and have felt a deep, longing sadness for humanity after reading all the works of Vonnegut. And all the while, they have kept me fascinated with their detailed worlds and technologies, most of if not all of are based on real concepts or theories and are well researched and written. This is what scifi is- to me, at least. A genre that can draw forth all these emotions and more and utterly immerse the reader into it's universe. [As you can tell, I may be a bit bias as I'm a fan and have therefore a lot more experience with the genre than most do.]

And I would get into the various plotholes and other examples of scifi-writing faux pas in To The Moon, but honestly, it'd be a waste of my time because I'll get another 1,000 replies just like yours and no one will learn anything. Sorry, fanboys, but just because I find the concept to be poorly thought out and executed does not mean I'm incapable of feeling emotion. The thread asked whether I cried, I answered. Everyone has different tastes based on their different experiences or passions. You can't expect everyone in life to hivemind with you.

Also, http://i.imgur.com/KzkUKQl.jpg - read this next time you respond to something. Not only did you not try to refute what I had to say, you chose to commit ad hominen and also bandwagon by calling upon the ol' "majority is always right" card, in this case also combined with anecdotal evidence. You are not a mean or bad person, you just need to present your argument better- attack the argument ["To the Moon has poor writing"] rather than the arguer.

I just said that the majority felt so, there's no right or wrong in that. We as people feel for different things. I don't think I would cry over the death of an intergalactic superhero. Or i might if i'm too attached. As i said, i respect your opinion but was curious to find out why it didn't make you feel what it made me feel. And so i gave some plausible reasons that might or might not be true. And i wish my vocubalary was as good as yours but it isn't and i don't get many of the words you spoke. I did google some.

Also, because you are biased towards that genre, did you play Mass Effect triology ? It's one of the best games i have played so far.

That's not what he was doing. He didn't "attack" you and he didn't play the "majority is always right" card, he played the "huh, I wonder why it is you don't agree with the majority" card. Very different.
This game was so amazing, and yes some of the plot was a little predictable but I honestly thought it worked really well, and I cried the entire montage towards the end of the game!
Cheesy at points, but good.
I would have ended it differently, but even though it was predictable it was extremely well done.
I so did. Had to run out of the room to grab a box of tissues!
