“I don't want to play a game that makes me cry!”

I don't play Final Fantasy, so I have no idea what you're talking about, and that's probably a good thing.

He may be addressing recent action games (including BioShock Infinite I hear) that seem to have this as a goal. It worked for me, with Gears 3 and Halo 4, but it's telling at I didn't cry during the game. It was during a cutscene. Staten seems to be focusing on emotions that can spring from doing something in the game world.

Cue Cody Miller.
