Immersion in Video Games

[Thespis721]

Bad thing. Yeah, BaB has a point, it really depends on your point of view on gaming. For example, I don't really care if there is a story as long as the gameplay is locked down and solid. I don't play GTA, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Shadow Complex, Metroid, Super Mario Galaxy, etc, etc... for the story. For me, personally, I'll leave the story needs for when I see my theatre or watch a movie. If there is a story in a game, then I it's a bonus, but not if the story takes precedent over the game.

For example, while I do like MOST of the MGS series, I never felt immersed because of all the cut scenes. The original MGS was the best.
