None because I don't have autism and can distinguish between video games and reality, you windowlicking assclown.

>not indulging into escapism.
Also OP use novels.

Metro Last Light

Took the words right out of my mouth

I'm not a psychopath so I don't confuse video games with reality.

However the most immersive game I played recently was probably Dear Esther.

Far Cry 2. For a while there, I thought I really was a lethal mercenary playing two sides of a conflict in a land-locked war torn African country for rough, uncut diamonds.

Deeply no, but I would like that it were real.

Legend of Queen Opala. Any of them. Farah is my waifu.

And "Bernd and the Mystery of Unteralterbach", just for lulz.

Took the words right out of my mouth

No game has ever done that to me, but there have been plenty of games where I genuinely enjoyed exploring a virtual world, to the point where it felt worth my time to do menial tasks like walk around at slower-than-average paces and just listen to ambiance.

Also, VR is going to help this feeling significantly. Just having a DK2 and playing Metroid Prime or Half Life 2 was by far the most immersive gaming experiences of my life. Fucking funner than anything released in the last decade by far.

The closest was playing 12-14 hours of Tribes 2 on a single day (first person shooter for you plebs) and going to sleep straight from the PC. Before falling asleep, I kept "seeing" the game moving in front of my eyes like flashbacks. It's hard to describe but you guys probably experienced it before, you don't really see the images but you more like feel that things are moving in front of your closed eyes, like sunlight filtering through your skin.

Trinity had a great ass, it's no wonder Cypher was so pissed off.

this

That usually happens when I woke up from a good dream, and I want to go back. So I try to sleep again and for some time I'm between dream and reality. I'm not dreaming but I'm almost seeing without seeing and constructing a new dream.

underrated

what said

Donkey Kong 64

why did the humans have to work in the matrix, why didn't the robots just make it super fun inside the matrix for all the humans.

like it's not like the humans would really notice if they were born in that world

I've never felt that a game was real, but I do hit a certain point with some games where my peripheral vision kind of fucks off and it's just the game, and nothing else. Last one to make me feel that was probably maplestory.

rewatched this shit last night. it's fun but reviving Neo through a kiss is horse shit.

Cypher was a faggot but he did manage to nuke a spook so I guess he redeemed himself

Holy shit user. Far Cry 2 is immersive af.

>You are the sickness

>they always run the sequels but never the original

...

They tried that and it failed. Humans reject a perfect utopia. This was brought up in the architect scene.

>muh cyberpunk dystopia

dude, they actually explained that in the fucking movies. now go watch all three right now !

I know you guys are going to tell me to fuck off but
Fallout 4 with its survival update.
Haven't felt like that since modded new vegas

No game has really done this for me. That's escapism tier autism.

Are you me?

aauagh

For a moment, I thought events in Half-life 2 and Ep 1 happened somewhere

Vampire Bloodlines

But only because I'm a total sucker for Vampire games and anything Vampire related. That game has such a thicc atmosphere you can cut with a knife.

>felt it was real?

none. that's why I play a game where I can be a bisexual sexfiend beastman with a violent streak.

When I was reading Metro 2033, it was mostly on the train home from work late at night. I'd listen to really intense melodic stuff, and a few times I had to put the book down because it became too real.

I always try to score what I'm reading like that. it gives the whole thing that much more of an impact.

Witcher 3.

The atmosphere is fucking phenomenal.

It's one thing to be immersed and one thing to not distingish reality.

>live in sleepy foggy New Englandshit town
>bloodbourne, release night
>all the lights are off in the house
>dog is outside and forget about it
>kill cleric beast
>get to father gascoigne
>dog slams against the screen door and starts howling
>jump up and swear I brushed the fucking ceiling

Shit a metric ton of bricks, used them to build him a dog house, went back to playing.

Battlefield 1 nice graphics hud off and war tapes audio

Life is Strange.

Nothing. I wish, but nothing.

Game was janky as hell, but the little touches really made it. I normally hate vampire shit, but I ended up playing through bloodlines several times, great game.

sims 3

Pillars of Eternity

Something about that game just grabbed me

Alien Isolation when I played it almost entirely in one sitting with headphones and in complete darkness.

So you are telling me you aren't me?

STALKER

fuck me man you just made me have flashbacks to taking the airboat down a narrow river to wack some APR goon right after I had watched Apocalypse Now

I remember ventilating him with my Uzi to be be incredibly satisfying

>get to the ending gunfight
>kill most all of them
>the indian guy and some girl are bleeding and injured in a ditch
>hipfire uzi into the both of them
>they drop like wet sacks of flower

Not sure I'd call it immersion, but I got vertigo for half a second when I looked down from the top of the canyon on the Mars map of E.Y.E

Probably the closest I've been to immersion has been when BC/Wrath/Cata/MoP first came out. I used to block out a week from school/work and play the game non-stop. Sleep schedule would be absolutely fucked but hot damn it was probably the best time of my life.

The other time was probably when Witcher 3 was released. Play so much in one sitting I ended up just sitting Geralt in a chair while I took mini naps in my desk chair because I figured he needed to rest just like I did, it was a really weird fucking week. Still haven't even finished Witcher 3 though, actually gave up a little while ago and started replaying the entire trilogy to get fully immersed in the story again. Great fucking series overall.

>tfw spent days creating my own maps to fuck around in

I heard some other asshole here say "you glass licking retard". What the fuck is with you faggots and glass?

Probably when I played games as a little kid, I don't know. It's hard to remember getting so immersed that something could feel real.

My suspension of disbelief is rather shitty. When I watch movies, play games, etc. typically I'm very aware that it's all a program, or a stage set.
