I honestly think that no video game makes life worth living. Granted, a person can make a living playing a video game. But that still doesn't affect one's life worth. Some gamers play to distract themselves from what goes on in real life. But that is just a distraction. Video games are engineered to offer that kind of distraction, just like sports or other hobbies. It is meant to be fun and get your life's worries to float away, if only for a short time.
You don't often hear someone say, "If I don't play Final Fantasy # every day I will just DIE!" And if someone does say that, then they may have crossed into the obsession or addiction territory. But, I would rather know someone that uses video games to get away from life's troubles than someone who uses drugs to do the same thing.
I don't know what your friend was going through in his life to say what he did, but I doubt a copy of Kingdom Hearts resuscitated him, or gave him the Heimlich maneuver. It may have kept him from doing something dangerous or illegal though. He may say it saved his life, but most likely it distracted him from doing whatever it was that he was planning on doing. And then that thought was replaced by thoughts of the game.
But no game can actually make one's life worth living or save a person's life...yet. Maybe one day.

Are you saying you're looking for a game to save your life? Turn to something else man, something real and not some world of make believe.
But, yeah, I don't think any game can make life worth living. I've never been so depressed where I had a game make me want to live again. To think about it, if a videogame made me want to live, I'd probably want to kill myself.

While I agree that would be a better option, the purpose of fiction is to allow us to escape from a mundane reality.Originally Posted by Pete
Video games, Alcohol, Books, movies etc, its all an escape.
Final Fantasy VII does all those things for me. Its the feelings/thoughts/emotions you take away from the game that makes it so memorable. FFVII is essentially about the cycle of life. To find happiness in a game that your able to relate to in real life and that'll cheer you up is fine. There are reports out there about how videogames have helped people. Im a homebody and people annoy the fk out of me. BUT..ya know..if you rather one turn to drugs, smoking, alcohol, gambling, promiscuity etc for such a thing....you'd probably be considered "cool" or having a "life" in today's society. As far as Im concerned if your not happy or at least seeking it, you dont have one. Dont let somebody else's definition of happiness define your own.
The GoldenSun series always helps me relax... Also, Dragon Quest VIII is one of those games that helps me get away from the world for a while...
Video Games don't really 'make my life worth living'. I mean,yes,they are great for a distraction from life,but not exactly life-savers. When I am feeling depressed,I might play FF8 or FF9,but I usually just pick up a good book,play some good music,and/or just watch a good tv show.
...But everyone is different. If you're looking for an escape,I would suggest experimenting by playing different video games and finding one(s) you like? Or perhaps reading novels you've never read before(if you like to read).

While I can certainly think of more things worth living for than games, I will say that Tales of the Abyss always managed to cheer me up from a crappy day.
You'll have your reward for finding me, and don't think of running off without collecting. My shot is faster, or my names not Balthier.
I mean like u know how life is boring and dull
But ssome games are fun and make you want to get out of bed to play

I suppose anything that distracts me from my computer could be saving my life, so... I once got up early so I could continue leveling up and collecting monster items so I could upgrade my equipment in Valkyrie Profile 2. (still haven't defeated the bonus stage.)

Games aren't REALLY worth living for, but if I had to say one that impacted my life the most, it would be Pokemon Leaf Green. That game kind of managed to keep me go on for a while in my darkest days.
As for one that kills my boredom, I sometimes play games that can be played with Bamboo Dock, if those counts.
