Name three (3) immersive sims

>>pure immersion
These shit games have plenty of "looook you can this trivial task you can do in real life, that's so cool!!" but then you can't do shit like jump over a fence. They're a joke.
And why the fuck do you get excited when you can brush your teeth in videogames when you probably don't do it irl anyway.

>>pure immersion
explain this meme. You're staring at a screen. What immersion could there possibly be to allow you to escape this reality?

Deus Ex
System Shock
Arx Fatalis

>immersive sims
stop.

? What immersive sim doesn't let you jump?You're thinking of movie games.

i dont think immersive sim means what you think it means

PC vs console in disguise
Zig Forums is entertainment for sure
More immersive than most video games

I prefer the term Shockesque.

They're not games based around giving you a dopamine rush. I guess there isn't enough bing bing wahoo and bright flashy colours to curb your attention span huh?

what the flying fuck is "immersive sim". go fuck yourselves

based retards

>stop using the proper terminology for an established genre

its the established name of a game genre that has existed for over 20 years

not a genre
kys, pretentious faggot

So pretentious. Nearly any game is an "immersive simulation". It's not even a proper name for a genre. Should be called a Backtracking Dungeon Game or something. Anything other than something so gay and ambiguous. It's like if people called JRPGs "Enjoyment Applications"

dont blame a random user, blame the entirety of the gaming community since the 90s

yeah RDR2, ETS2 and Stardew Valley are my favorite immersive sims

I wonder if 'pretentious' or 'irony' gets misused more often

Let me help you out here. I highlighted the definition for you.

>using the common term for a type of game is pretentious

Those are just stealth/FPS games

and how is using a normal phrase pretentious by that definition

name 3 "immersive sims" games
all I think about are RPGs
>kingdome come deliverance
>stalker
>kenshi

Ok, and what about the term "immersive sim" has any pretension to being something greater than it is?

>oh what's that you're playing? A role-playing game? Well this here... *sniffs own farts* is an IMMERSIVE SIM. What other game would let you walk into a room and then do it again? I am so IMMERSED in this UNIQUE, IMMERSIVE SIMULATION.
>NO, NO!! Only this type of gamer can be called an Immersive Sim™. Like Prey... It was so Immersive© that no one bought it!

The [immersive] Sims.

you're mad as fuck LMAO

>immersive sims

That is not a genre. You're thinking of "first person shooter - RPG hybrids".

There are only like a handful of "immersive sims"
Deus Ex, System Shock, Arx Fatalis, Bioshock, Prey, Dishonored and thats it. Everythings is is debatable like half life or even the fucking sims

I've only played Deus Ex and it became one of my favorite games ever. Is Prey any good?

OP, the majority of Zig Forums is too young to have ever played one, let alone enjoy them, so they sure as hell won't even know what they are. You've posted this on the wrong board if you hope to have any actual discussion.

>System Shock, Arx Fatalis, Bioshock, Prey
possibly. Deus Ex was only ever marketed as a RPG. Never as that AIDS term.
