Not gonna lie, I got a little lost in Elite: Dangerous for a while.

What I wouldn't give to sit in the cockpit of an asp explorer and hear "Frameshift drive charging."

Hell, just give me my old hauler back. I'll gut the back for a first-class cabin and turn it into my space winnebego. Just me, my copilot, the desolation of deep space, and 8-10 tons of space cocaine. Life would be grand.

Weirdly, rimworld.

Not in that it makes you feel like you're really there, but rather, it makes you genuinely care about a bunch of essentially randomly generated little pawn pieces.

And that has NEVER happened to me before. I actually thought that people who say that can happen to them in a game were just being silly.

I mean, it would be more of a retirement option than anything else. I'd prefer the Asp or an Imperial Courier. And there's explorers that love the thing because they're essentially throwaway, even with a-rated FSD, advanced and surface scanners, and extra fuel.

There's gotta be somebody, man. I have the whole bubble to roam and an effectively limitless lifespan thanks to progenitor cells being buyable by the ton. Biggest problem would be making money without the community metagaming I'm used to. The trade data in the map is trash.

I loved it intensely for around eight months. Elite's problem is that it's a mile wide and an inch deep. Graphics are good, flight model is responsive, it has everything you'd want in a space sandbox. Problem is, it's a space sandbox, not so much a game per se. Content is a little sparse, to say the least. The Thargoids are coming in hardcore right now, though, so we might see a war with the aliens soon^tm

If you have people to fly with, or can make your own fun, it's fantastic. Just prepare to take breaks, or the burn out will hit and you'll hate it.

Same here, I've played my share of RPGs but the TES series seems to be the only games I can really get into the "roleplaying" part with, as clunky and shallow as the story elements might be. In fact i'd argue that its the main reason. Theres a lot of blank pages for you to fill in yourself. When you overdevelop a story and characters, unless you have literal limitless options at your disposal, it distances yourself from the experience. Games like mass effect, dragon age, and the witcher, you can be as cunty as you like but you're still the guy who has to save the world and you're playing as somebody else. In bethesda RPGs you can literally just fuck about for hundreds of hours and its not out of character.

I just finished "Alien: Isolation" on hard difficulty, and its super immersive. I got about 45 hours of gameplay out of it And countless times where i literally jumped out of my seat because of the spoopy alien. It's an amazing game and the AI is some of the best in any video game. I recommend it to everyone.

METRO 2033 and METRO Last Light.

>>739692284
Agreed. The sound is amazing in that game.
>>739692290
Also agree. Great games.

>>739692284
Only problem with that game is that it tries to make the aliens invincible when in fact the lore dictates they aren't, but they do have the ability to fuck you up if you kill them

Life is strange. Immersive, because you get so attached to the characters that you create an emotional bond with them and live through the game as it was you who is experiencing the story.

By FAR.

There is something about the game structure - the way it works with time, combined with rather unique sense of player agency, really interesting environments and actually quite amazingly good writing and characters just make this game the single most immersive thing I've ever played.

It does not look great, it's clunky and flawed and really, really slow but once you get into it, it's more immersive than any other game that is out there.

>I personally think it has aged pretty badly.
It really didn't.
It felt exactly as awkward and unpolished on the day it was released. Actually Pathologic aged remarkably well due to it's strange art direction that somehow compensates for the fact that graphics were ten years out of date on release.

I'm not sure what your issue with the sound is. Sound design and quality is fine.
As for annoying mechanics: the game is suffering. It's not supposed to be fun at any point to begin with. Which is not to say that it's OK: a lot of the systems are bad because they are badly designed (like the really bad U.I.).
But the point is that this is a game that does need you to buckle up and fight it for a while. It's well worth it in the end though.

>>739694988

He's 100% right. It's MP1 - the scan-able object icon in the right there was different in 2.

>>739691613
Yeah same here. Absolutely. I was extremely surprised by how much I loved the game. A large part of that was due to the intense immersion.

Dark Souls 1. It has something that none of the other Soulsborne games, not to mention other games, have: true immersion. It doesn't feel like playing a game, it feels like you're experiencing a world. The lack of fast-traveling from the start, the relatively small amount of bonfires, and the greatest interconnected world Lord Miyazaki has ever created, just add to this. It is what will make this game the timeless classic that I will always return to at some point, even though there are technically superior games in the franchise mechanically speaking (i.e., Bloodborne).
