Nah, it's not well-defined as far I know, which is why the concept is addressed in the survey! :D

I know it's a loose link to the thread but had to post the Austrian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest (which is a pile of crap btw)

marianne: I get veerrryy emotional. That isn't so-n-so out there helping Booker on that Command Deck, that isn't so-n-so hiding in that locker in Outlast, that isn't so-n-so running from that mad dog in Penumbra or so-n-so the crazy driver in Saint's Row-4...it's ME. I'm there. I get so wrapped up in that I become that person. I get tense, forget to breathe, cry, angry...Phew !! Before bed-time I have to find a caalllmm relaxing game or I'd be re-living my life in that game.
Well, as long as you don't become so-and-so the crazy driver from Saints Row in real life ... ;)Novotnus

tinyE: BTW genkicolleen, while this thread seems to have been derailed I'm finding it to be one of the most fascinating on the forum right now.
I'm all good with that XD I hope that everyone will stop for a minute and do the survey for my friend's friend, but I'm loving all of the feedback! To the Moon definitely DOES fit into this category. I think that any game that draws you in enough to make you teary-eyed (or angry, or super-happy, etc) fits.

Eh...
I don't think I can really answer that survey to my satisfaction. I like a story that can engage my emotions and make me think, but I also don't like games that heavily emphasize "story," because that often comes at the cost of gameplay. The sorts of games that earn a lot of attention for being "emotional" also tend to be so in the most wretched ways.
Ditto "moral choices." On paper, it's a nice additional facet of gameplay. In practice, "choice and consequence" is usually ust another tacked-on bullet point.

I was just finished Aliens: Colonial Marines few days ago. I think it was very emotional despite being FPS with no particular romance options in it:

It felt emotional.
