Most immersive game you've ever played?

[Brad Shepard]

Prince of Persia drew me in preety well to the point of me running around my town wall running and getting ontop of buildings

and Silent hill 2 did it for me as well, scared the piss out of me to where i was afraid to look around corners.

 

[w-Jinksy]

Fallout 3 easily, i once took a wrong turn and got a bit lost and went to check my pipboy for the map only to find i didnt have one.

I'm torn between STALKER and MassEffect.

For me it was those silent parts of STALKER which really ramped up the immersion, it would just be you and your gun walking through rusted industrial buildings with nothing but rustling leaves and trees coming through your speakers. Until the next rabid horror starts trying to eat your face.

Mass Effect was a different type of immersion, it got you into the plot and characters rather then making it feel like you're actually there.



Also I really want to visit Pripyat now, if it wasnt for all the radiation.

Fallout 3, I switched it on played for a while and when i turned it off found that the room smelled like a telephone box outside a busy pub and my trousers were damp.

Or at least that's what it felt like

 

[The Infinite]

Shadow of the Colossus for me.

 

[e2density]

Crisis Core FF7.

The gameplay was button-mashy, but never have I felt such an emotional curve.

 

[Lullabye]

Demon's Souls. I really felt like I was actually going to die from all the frustration.

 

[Luca-Pellegrinelli]

I know some people are gonna look at like an escaped mental patient talking to his pet camel but I'd have to say X-Men Legends II and the first MUA, Assassins Creed II, Hitman Blood Money, the Sands of Time Trilogy and Ratchet and Clank

 

[Joshroom]

Fallout 3 really grabbed me for a while; I found it hard afterwards to talk to anyone I didn't like without imagining how much damage the combat shotgun would do to them.
Dark Chronicle is probably the worst one for me though. No matter how much I mocked the two main characters I would always reamerge from their world to realise 6 hours or so had just dissappeared while I was playing it.

[Samuel Cook]

Fallout 3 for me. I think it was where I had to go from Megaton to Three Dog's place. I was staring at the screen in awe, just looking at the post-apocalyptic city, and then being creeped out in the underground.

 

[x0ny]

World of warcraft, need i say more? So many things to level up, and gear to obtain.

 

[Sallad3n]

Fallout 3 for me. I'ts so fun and immersive i recently started on my tenth character.

 

[Jubbsy]

The Splinter Cell Series.

Waiting in shadows, watching a gaurd. Then diliberatly making noise so he freaks out and starts firing. Alarm goes off and three more guards come in.

Then you just crawl around, knock 'em out one by one. And they don't have a clue.

So much fun.

 

[ssgt splatter]

I'd have to say GTA IV.

 

[SantoUno]

The one where people stop mentioning immersion just because Yahtzee popularized the term.

 

[ZlagarX]

The most imerssiv game for me must have been Call of Duty: 2, somthing about that lvl where you charge some Nazi trenches with tanks and all, and then the Nazis start to bomb you with atillery

 

[Steeveeo]

inb4 Morrowind

Funnily enough, Daggerfall had me quite immersed in it for long periods of time. Maybe it was the age I played it as, or maybe I just like the less vivid style of gaming, but Daggerfall had me for quite a bit there.
