Ultima Underworld I. For several days straight I was 'LIVING' in the
Abyss and when I had to sleep, well, I was still there...! >> Stay informed about: Most immersive game ever? |

I think the question is 'most immersive game' which is singular. You
listed TWENTY ONE games. >> Stay informed about: Most immersive game ever? |

Half-Life series, esp. HL2...this definitely tops the list -- Valve
nailed the post-invasion atmosphere by setting the events in Eastern
Europe and mixing up the locales (the original Black Mesa was a fun
romp, too)
AvP2...I can still hear that muffled Marine machine gun blasting away
Alien parts
SS2...alien collective + limited pick-ups + demented antagonist =
survival horror bliss!
Thief series...still enjoy Garrett's commentary
Doom 3: RoE...I know, I know, but I love the Grabber and the
double-barrel shotgun
Oblivion...create your own adventure and deftly place arrows in your enemies
Even bits of Far Cry and Halo...when they turned down the cheesiness
Basically any game that makes me feel like a lone wolf who is out to
save the particular world I happen to be playing in. >> Stay informed about: Most immersive game ever? |

Two : one a shock to many people, the other maybe not so.
#1 : Unreal. Never did a game drag me in so much. Music, graphics,
enemies, landscapes etc etc - I've never experienced that since. Who
can ever forget the approach to the Nali tower? The underground river
ride, the first meeting with the Skaarj. I could go on. I started to
love those Nali guys! I was there. Excellent.
#2 : System Shock 2. Except for the plastic guns ..... thanks Werner ... >> Stay informed about: Most immersive game ever? |

Most immersive--Diablo 2/LoD, undoubtedly, followed closely by Falcon 3.0,
since genre's irrelevant. They're the only games I've ever played that
stayed on my drive for years. Privateer could perhaps have been a player
here, too, had there simply been more to it. I doubt I've ever been so
totally immersed in a game as that one, but it was only for days.
I don't know that there's ever been a game that made me "feel like I was
there". There's just something about a computer screen/speakers and my
basic makeup that doesn't allow that, to my detriment I suppose. I guess
it's partly because of that that I was able to lose hardcore D2 characters
without so much as blinking an eye, and why in RPGs I always build a nice
female character to look at, not "become", lol.

Sometimes we do seem to have very different opinions, not only about the
one thing I won't mention in this thread . I found Unreal boring. There
was seldom a game that I hoped so hard that it would finally be over...
> #2 : System Shock 2. Except for the plastic guns ..... thanks Werner ...
Again, all the stupid design decisions, like these plastic guns, broke the
immersion for me immediately. For me immersive games are HL, HL2 (don't be
surprised Walter and of course my current favorite Vampire Bloodlines.
