Most immersive game you've ever played?

[Tiny116]

Fallout 3. I turned on the machine, play for a bit, turned it off & there were Terminators in the streets.

Really I saw lots of ants.
(It was flying ant season goddamnit)

 

[DTWolfwood]

Uncharted 2 and Mass Effect. a really close second Fallout 3

a good extend the RTS Starcraft and Warcraft <.< yeah i played their single player, what of it D:<

 

[Georgie_Leech]

Why do so many people confuse immersiveness with addictiveness...?

Anyway, I have to say Myst. Completely from first person, characters that seem to talk to you personally...

I actually ended up dreaming I WAS in the game after I beat it.

 

[RanD00M]

Bioshock or Mass Effect.They were both so good.

 

[Jaegermonster]

I see lot of people mentioning the Thief series and the entire Half-life series ( Not just HL2) which is great. I've replayed them both many times and they always please. I've not seen anybody mention Diablo 1 or 2 and I simply can't believe no one on this forum has never been late to school or work or missed large chunks of sleep clicking away at zombies and skeletal archers.

Also, I must be one of the only people who thought Morrowind and Oblivion could go die in a fire somewhere. They held my attention for a little while but everytime I had to talk to an npc, the voice acting would make me want to murder. Fallout 3 was better but for me it was not one of the most immersive games I've ever played. The ghouls really set killed the experience for me. So I killed most of them. That's probably why I got the bad ending.

 

[CriticalGriffin]

Portal, Thief 2 and 3, Okami and Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

 

[Juan Regular]

I'll go with some of the classics:
Bioshock, Shadow Of The Colossus, Half Life 2, Condemned and one a little less obvious:
The Path.

 

[josemlopes]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R and COD:MW2

 

[Kajt]

Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 1, 2, 3, Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, Resistance: Fall of Man, Call of Duty 4, World at War, Warcraft II, you know what? I'll stop now.

 

[Twad]

Stalker, Thief2, HL1,.. and FEAR

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

THief 1-2,System shock,Dues ex,Arx fatalilus...mmmmmm Dark messiah bad writing aside did a good job, Half life(but not HL2 strangely) S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Morrwind untill I had a epiphany it was a lulz fest and the shiny happy feelings wore off quick.

Most new games suck for...well......everything >>

 

[Ryuk2]

Max Payne 2.

 

[RadioActiveChimp]

Bioshock, even though i didn't finish it

 

[V TheSystem V]

Dead Space, Modern Warfare, and Halo 3 (online, not the campaign, who do you think I am?)

 

[Sonicron]

Easily Silent Hill 2. By far. The atmosphere was so solid, when I played it for the first time and I got to Brookhaven Hospital, I screamed, turned off my computer, hid under the covers and didn't touch the game again until I managed to summon up the courage two weeks later.

Don't forget

Deus Ex. You feel like a total badarse who could do anything whichever way they want.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Its a Vampire game where you ACTUALLY feel like a Vampire.

I would say Deus Ex is fun, but not necessarily immersive. The crappy graphics just stop me from getting really absorbed by the game.

I'll have to agree with you on VTM:B, though. One of the best RPGs I've ever played, even if the ending levels sucked like a turbo-charged hoover.

OT: I'd say S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl or the stealth mission in CoD4: Modern Warfare That might just be because Pripyat is a stunningly eerie place, though.

EDIT: Ninja'd for typos.

I love your Avatar, Go slopoke.
OT: Fallout 3 has taken a large chunk of my life

 

[Le_Lisra]

Thief 2, easily. Well... actually maybe the first Thief because I played that first. When I completed the first level I didn't keep going, I just reloaded it and played it again because I couldn't believe how awesome the game was. I still can't.

Morrowind, even though most the immersion happened in my head.

Thief2, because it is just so full of awesome.

System Shock 2 - oh the terror

Don't forget

Deus Ex. You feel like a total badarse who could do anything whichever way they want.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Its a Vampire game where you ACTUALLY feel like a Vampire.

QFT.

Bloodlines is very immersive and sometimes even very scary.

 

[Neeko Masochist]

Silent Hill 2 and Dead Space.

No match.

EVER.

 

[CymTyr]

Wasteland, followed by Morrowind out of the recent-gen games.
