Default Re: Immersion in Video Games

I guess it all depends on how you feel about stories in gaming.

For the most part, even the most elaborate video game plots boil down to a save the world type deal because of the simple nature, they make more compelling games than many other genres.

And to me, its takes me out of the experience... especially if it undergoes.. what I call those unplayable moments, which are moments that look so awesome... that you can't replicate at all in the game.

To go to an analogy since we love them here on GT, its like if you were watching a movie that paused in the middle to ask you to describe how you think the rest of the movie will play out... and then cut forward to continue the movie.
