Ever played a game to the point you forgot Real life behind and became one with the game or some philosophical bull crap like that?
Well it Happens to me with many games. The biggest one on this list is, and don't laugh, Doom3.
No Prior to Doom 3 you could blow a fog horn wile I was sleeping and I would lazily open an eye and look at you staring you to death for waking me up.
Now when I got Doom 3. I Did what the Manual Told me. I closed the lights, closed the windows, where I couldn't even see my fingers, and place on some earphones. and Started playing. Now about 3 Hours later, I was a complete Nervous wreck. My Gecko decided to crawl around in her cage and it drove me up the wall.
And Ever after now after 4 Years I'm still Jittery. no where Near as bad as then but I still Jump at stuff. Doom 3, it sucked me in and Never Let go. I Never got that sucked into a game Since System Shock 2. The Atmosphere is horrifying, the ound is shit your pants creepy, and the game is pure mind fukery and not physiological brain fukury, just your gonna die brain fukery.
To Be Honest Doom 3 should be called something else. but what ever.
So Today I decided to close the light raise the volume and Play doom 3 and I had to sop after 1 hour cause I was getting so fucking jittery.
I have no Idea why this game fucks me up like this but I love it. But I find games this immersive Few and Far between, Half Life 1 and 2 sucked me in so fast also, and so does galactic Civilization 2, until it Crashes (which is does allot for some reason) and i come to reality and get bored of my Blood thirsty Conquest less life.
but Why do some Games suck me in and some others don't. Some Games are fantastic, like Flatout 2, I love that games but it only keeps me entertained for a race or 2. and then Theirs fairly Bad games like Quake 4 which I get sucked in fast.
I dunno what makes immersion to be honest. Christ, I found myself get immersed in games like CHESS, where I jump when I see some one do a move I didn't expect.
and then you have games like Rock Band which I Simply Love but I always Feel Like I'm in my living Room playing a Cheap Plastic Guitar. I mean sometimes I get into it where I Jump around and dance and stuff. but most of the time I lounge on my lazy boy and plink away.
Maybe it's my mind set but sometimes I have trouble to get motivated into some games I want to play it but I jsut can't seem. like Fallout, I can REALLY get into it, or simply not able to.
Speaking of Fallout, I feel like crying inside.
You seen Fallout 3... Yah fallout is dead to me now. Bethseda, I like you guys but Oblivion was pretty bad. and now you want to use those skills to make one of my most cherished Isometric RPG.
i Mean I'm still gonna play it, but I don't expect to be the game I have been waiting for since 1999. Oblivion was a nice Technology Demo, but it felt so shallow. There barely anything to do. and I mean Compared to morrowind. Morrowind was a Diamond, a little rough in the edges but I loved it. and then Oblivion it feels like they listened to the people who didn't like Morrowind, and dumbed it down for 9 year olds.
I hope Fallout will not have all this quick travel and voice acting and shit. and no quest Arrow, Christ that killed Immersion.
Bethseda seems to be pretty bad at lissining to there fans but quite eager to lissean to those who didn't like it. and those who didn't like Fallout was the reasons I liked it.
