Forum:Immersion

I had a marathon playthrough at the weekend, since I had nothing else to do. Got quite far, listening to GNR. Yesterday I was in a bookshop near my house and one of the Billie Holiday songs came on the shop's PA system. I swear to God, I ducked and covered, looking for super mutants. It took me a moment to realise why everyone else looked a little startled.

Either I'm too suggestible, or the game is really, really immersive.

If you find yourself sneaking around corners in your own home, it will be time to seek professional help. :-) LVTDUDE 00:37, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Lmao, mabey we all need some help, or just time off the game...nah nah that wouldn't do anything, lol. But yeah, I love this game because it is so immersive. I've had dreams about Deathclaws chasing me in the middle of the night...scared the shit outta me, lol. --Esscex 03:50, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I hear ya, man: This other night, about 2 AM I was walking home from a friends house, and suddenly, a moose broke out of some bushes right in front of me (kinda normal in Norway in the winter, the moose is everywhere then). I stood just still for about 4 seconds, until it had gone down another path, and then it occurred to me that when the exact moment the moose jumped out, I had moved my left hand up my shoulder, as to retrieve my trusty A3-21's Plasma Rifle.


 * Maybe it is too immersive... I have had a break for about a month now, my PS3 is at the repair shop, and I am still looking forward to playing it some days from now.


 * All games seem boring in comparison, too... I bought Saints Row 2 just before my PS3 died, as a try to get some "variation". Dumbest idea ever; To compare Saints Row with Fallout 3 is like comparing chocolate cake to a dog turd. I am not saying that it is bad (its hella fun) but you can't compare them.

Its just damn immersive. Or maybe I need help. One of my friends tried to jump out at me from around a corner in college and I reached for my Blackhawk. Run4urLife! 21:32, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I've tried to turn on my pip-boy 3000 so many times. Pararaptor

Lol I forgot to mention this, but the other day I opened up a bottle of Coca-Cola (real coke, in a glass bottle, like nuka-cola), and when I staeted drinking I was waiting to hear a geiger counter start ticking...Can't say i'm not complaining though lol. --Esscex 07:51, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

I work in a hospital and I catch myself planning how to fortify the parking structure or to access the adjoining drainage canals and nearby train tunnels. Taking a break from it doesn't really help me though, lately I just swap F3 and Left4Dead.--JiNX Bloodfang 19:41, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe it's just TOO immersive? When I walk down a normal street in my neighborhood, I often wonder: "What would that house look like 200 years from now?" or "What would that apartment look like if it was occupied by raiders?" Damn, the street where I live is so boring that a few nuclear craters could raise the market value :) AngryNorwegianDude 10:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
