What was the last game you felt completely immersed in?

[Misho-]

Batman: Arkham Asylum. I honestly felt pretty badass being able to take down whole hordes of mocking, cocky thugs without breaking a sweat.

High Fivez!~

Also Red Dead, I was pretty shocked at the end too. That's why I hated the other guy you use.

 

[Axolotl]

Planescape: Torment and Thief The Dark Project.

Most games simply have too poor a level of writing to be "immersive" for me.

 

[Sacman]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl one of my favorite games evar...<.<

 

[comadorcrack]

I've always felt Bethseda games, awesome though they are, have serious immersion problems. As in, they achieve a level of realism that's close to full immersion, but not quite there, and that just makes me feel more uncomfortable about it. I think it's called uncanny valley or something

QFT! also the fact that characters have that stare to them that just freaks me out. and theres like 4 voices to go around.

Asides from that just treking through a dungeon with nothing but a knife and a torch and a fucking butt load of cur disease potions for company gets pretty fucking immersive to me!

Also I got really immersed in bad company 2 (Vietnam) today. I completely forgot i was sitting on a bed with a headset and was genuinely panicking and scrambling for my syringe when ever i saw someone die!

 

[Mordekaien]

My character in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.

I have just recently replayed P3P soooo yep. The female MC.
Man, the ending gets me everytime o_o

 

[CardinalPiggles]

err, i dont really get immersed in games.

maybe bioshock 1.

 

[Tulks]

Probably one of the Myst series. Exile, maybe.

 

[baddude1337]

Plenty of games, too many to remember, mainly RPG's


Most recent game I played I was immersed in was Ghostbusters, I actually felt like a Ghostbuster, and the Rookie looks like me from behind which probably helped a little bit.

 

[bootz]

Witcher, Half life 2

 

[Hulde Gran]

Planescape: Torment and Thief The Dark Project.

Most games simply have too poor a level of writing to be "immersive" for me.

How could i forget those two games! Unfortunately, i wasn't able to finish planescape because of a "little problem" i had with a quest. Killed someone i shouldn't, but the game didn't warn me he was important, i swear!

Now, thief 2 is my favorite. It's like the first one, but they did something i didn't think it was possible: it felt like it was better!

 

[Soxafloppin]

AC: Brotherhood made me feel pretty immersed, kinda bittersweet they will be moving onto another assasin in AC3.

 

[lazysquirell]

I get immersed in any game where I get to create my own character and have customisation options during the game. I'm a sucker for creating characters. Most recently the game that has had me immersed is Dragon age 2.

 

[Harry Mason]

Rifts RPG by Palladium.

You didn't say it had to be a video game. I just love tabletops.

 

[RAWKSTAR]

This is going to sound silly but Super Mario Sunshine. Seriously I don't know why, it just sucked me in like a thing.

Persona 4 had me from the get go to!

 

[Axolotl]

Now, thief 2 is my favorite. It's like the first one, but they did something i didn't think it was possible: it felt like it was better!

Haven't played the second. Gave up on one when it decided that stealth sucked and give me a level where I fight dinosaurs instead.

 

[Kane Slavuta]

Amnesia: the dark decent.

 

[GenericPCUser]

Forgot to mention, Persona 4

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I played Silent Hill 4 for the first time, my girlfriend watching, and that little kid who pops up towards the end of loading screens creeped the hell out of us, even with the brightness setting turned up and the lights on. I need to put that back in later tonight.
