What was the last game you got actually immersed in? >webm related

Mass Effect 3. Besides that god awful ending, playing it felt like the world was truly about to end.

Skyrim

Same.

That and Skyrim.

Cruising around in Mad Max. But then they make me get out of my car and it gets bad.

>>323753203
Skyrim with first person locked, no fast travel, survival mods out the ass, coldfrost, and the camera was locked to the characters head which aided with immersion too. realistic bows and arrows and shit

put like 50 hours into the game before starting even the first main quest mission

>>323753463

And fallout NV

Far Cry 2

There is no substitution.

Cousin has a big racing setup so I've been enjoying drive rally with that

Elite: Dangerous
I usually play it in the morning with a cup of coffee or orange juice but I love just being able to fly around and shit.

>>323753550

That's some edgy shiet mannnnn

I did coldfrost for an hour and gave up.

Mount and Blade today.
Doing a Nordic run, some faggots seiged my home while I was halfway across the world. Made it inside just in time for them to assault.
Stopped a 500 man army with a bunch of recruits and a dozen good archers. Nobody touches my wife. Fuck the Vaegir.

Witcher 3

Is it weird to be immersed in a JPRG? Because Tales of Vesperia was a pretty good one for me. Good character interaction and good plot at least until the 2/3 mark just kept me going.

As justified as people are to sling shit at that game, I have never played anything that's been able to pull me into its world like FC2. I don't know what it is, it's just a perfect blend of immersive FPS gameplay. Even the blatant repetition of it was something I could look over because ambushing a convoy in the savannah was exhilarating as fuck each time. Once VR becomes fleshed out, that's gonna be one of the first games I try with it.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

never played the genre, game or series before, bought it on winter sale, I was sad it eventually ended.

I liked how I was able to build up a 'main character' of sorts along with a squad, especially when the soldier I picked to be the volunteer was with my squad since mission 1

Can't wait for XCOM 2 now

>>323753406
>>323753463

If you consider having to remember to save every ten minutes in preparation for that inevitable crash to desktop or gamebryo engine fuck up that forces you to reload immersive, I guess.

>>323754109


>those windy trees, dense forests and warm fires

>immersive as fuck

Has there ever been a game that does weather better?

I can't remember the last time I got immersed in a game.

It's probably been more than a decade.

>>323753203
Harvest moon.
God, that was quite a while ago.

>>323754003
hoo shit i had no idea

that's actually pretty tempting, did the game improve much over release? I remember it got panned for being released at a pretty much early access stage of development

>>323754395
It's still getting panned. The media still hates it and so do a lot of people who like racing games.

It's absolutely awful, they haven't updated a god damn thing since release. Donut waste munny

The Long Dark. Sandbox survival game, which they're gonna be rolling out a story campaign for. Game is atmospheric and spooky af at first until you git gud, then it becomes a chore and not fucking up-simulator. Game Looks, sounds and plays pretty great. They have updated stuff a lot since it first released.

Best survival game yet, it's interaction between the various necessities forces you to make tough decisions.
>Do I go out in the blizzard to get food, or risk starving?
>Do I risk going near those wolves to explore that outpost?
>Do I waste a bullet to kill this deer for food, or do I scavenge more? Will there be more food, or is this the last chance?
>Do I take shelter in that car, or do I keep running like fucking hell?
>Do I boil water before I go to sleep, or do I chop up that table to make firewood?
>Do I take shelter from the wind under that cliff and wait this weather out, or do I trudge to my current encampment?

It is hands down one of, if not the, most well thought out survival game out there.

>>323756104

How long have you been working on it?

>>323754395
the bike DLC is literally the only good thing about the game. Best bike game at this point TBQH

I've heard pretty much the opposite, still not going to buy it until launch though.

>>323756238
Shit I wish I was working on it.

>>323756104

When is actual release?

The problem is when I get an early access game by the time actual release comes around I'm bored of the game already

>>323755214

Thanks anon.

>>323756489
Not sure, but they just released a pretty big update and a new trailer not too long ago.

That being said, they've got some serious fucking experience backing this game, so it's probably gonna be sooner then later at this point. Everything engine side is pretty much done.

Atmosphere is the most important aspect of immersion

Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Wish I would've installed FRAPS or something to save shots with, I'm downsampling it at max settings with a ReShade preset on top of that. Game looks magnificent.

Not yet, but I intend to.

>>323757541
SOMA was surprisingly good
I honestly wasn't expecting much from it because I heard little to nothing about it on /v/ when it came out, even though we were really into the ARG
I played it recently and was really impressed
The horror part of it was unnecessary as fuck but the rest of it was really good

Yeah I did this as well and just played Skyrim as a hunting/survival simulator.
Shit was fucking rad yo, though sometimes I would get script overload.

It's gonna sound weird but I installed the Long War mod for XCOM and started playing it again about 2 weeks ago. I don't think I've ever felt so awful about losing people like I do in that game. I don't know if that's necessarily immersion but I definitely feel the weight of my actions playing and having to leave behind people or getting critted and losing my best dude cause of RNG or whatever. I love it though, really makes you have to take advantage of the games mechanics to succeed.

Sometimes, you really do just get immersed in exploring, creating and farming.
Sure the community is shit, but the game can be just so good, especially with shadow mods.

Danmaku Unlimited 2. Or basically any hard shmup.

They're some of the few games that actually fully immerse me in a game in the sense that I am left unable to think of anything outside of the game while I'm playing them.

Because if I do think outside of the game, then I lose focus. And losing focus is very bad for my ability to dodge all those hundreds of little dots coming my way.
