Inmersive sims/FPRG or whatever they are called

I´ve just reached the true ending in EYE
**Ok, so basically you got the groundhog day treatment after dabbling in necrocybermancy, right?
Are you supposed to be the guy in the cover with the skull mask? I believe the armor you see Rimanah using is just another representation of your guilt, with the single tear in his cheek and all**
Man fuck Minos that was some bullshit,
This is clearly an example of a super unfinished game saved by narrative trickery, stellar art direction and make your own fun kind of gameplay
I kinda love it but I have to take a break for a while after doing all the endings back to back

Discuss: Underworld, Dude Sex, Stalker, VTMB, Dark messiah all welcome.

Now that's new.

I remember the term used to describe the holy trinity of Underworld, System Shock and Thief. But I dont recall where exactly.

Its a bit tricky to lump so many different games in the same box, but I do feel like there is a certain something that all of them share, even if its a faint connection at best besides them being all in first person

Sounds kinky you faggot. And read this interview, it's not incomplete, they just couldn't think of a good ending to all of the crazy shit they added. archive.is/6WZ1a

The only game I've ever played that lived up to its memes.

I would delete the thread and remake it if not for the fact that the button just ignores me

Its pretty interesting to see how they had to wrap up the whole thing, I mean they flat out lined a bunch of NPCs in a dark room and called it a spaceship.
I hope they revisit EYE some day, Deathwing is not doing so well.

Maybe you could elaborate on what you think those have in common besides being first person? I just don't see the connection between Stalker and dark messiah for example.

I don't get the total love this game gets. Its good for sure, but not what so many here make it out to be.

Deathwing was never gonna do well, a FPS game with nothing new to show with most of the game is "Clear Room and Move from Point A to Point B" and with rulesets from Warhammer where you can't play as a teleporting duel-wielding swordsman with powers to summon an army and posses your enemies.
No, just let it be. Don't be a faggot playing with the Monkey's Paw.


The only thing I got from the OP isthat he liked the gameplay and design and open-ended nature of choose how to play on each scenario, but that's pretty fucking debatable with several of the games he put as an example.

They're all shit games only Holla Forums pretends to like.

It's charming and more importantly relatively unknown. If it ever becomes mainstream, you can expect the usual hate train.

Learn English you spic. Secondly, >>>/cuckchan/

OP is a retard who think "immersive sim" is a real genre tag. Because apparently "immersive" can only be applied to a select few games. God forbid a platformer or racing game "immerse" you.

raise your standards nob

Play some real racing games nigger.

Why do immersive sims trigger everyone here so much?

I'm still amazed how they managed to load such a simple and straight forward meta statement (that it is a game you keep starting over until you no longer wanna play) with all that "mystery" people are still looking for a deeper meaning.

Of course, how did I not think of that? Holla Forums loves their obscure and technically limited games.

so instead of riding in circle you ride this slice of track
im so immersed right now

Take your stale bait and fuck off right to reddit where you belong, faggot.

Because it's a retarded term that doesn't mean anything, and is only validated because the libkike director of Deus Ex said it in an interview once

Immersive sim is not a real genre, it's just a way to label shitty or average games similarly to solid FPSRPGs to give them undeserved legitimacy.

In other words of the games commonly grouped under 'immersive sim' the actually good ones are FPSRPGs and the shit ones are grouped with those good ones to make them seem better.

Replying to bait is falling for bait regardless of what you say.


Would this happen to be related to LBGTBBQ+? Because it's the same type of letter salad.

You forgot APDGAH++ you fucking bigot.

Unironically Far Cry 2

It's unapologetically obtuse. The core gameplay mechanics consists of a huge range of disparate systems that are poorly explained and unclear to a new player. I think this is why Holla Forums loves it so much - we're all so tired of games trying to hold our hand through everything, that we're willing to praise a half-finished, extraordinarily-poorly-translated indie game that is apathetic to our struggles.
Aesthetically it's also a combination of a lot of beloved scifi franchises, such as Ghost in the Shell, Warhammer 40k, Alien, and Blade Runner. It's like a huge fan project that ended up in this simultaneously bizarre but somehow familiar universe. In that sense it's a lot more honest than the corporate AAA bullshit we're used to getting, and I think there's a lot of appeal in that.

Alternate theory: Holla Forums latched onto it because it's an obtuse meme game that normalfags dislike. No need to go any deeper than that.

you're gonna have to bait harder than that, friendo

far cry 2 was actually a great Diamond Conflict Simulator, and despite bitching from normalfags and casuals I thought the malaria mechanic was great

Is there such a thing as Divine Cybermancy porn?

There's a reason 75% of the "discussion" of EYE is just regurgitating old memes. Good games don't have that issue.

Why do some people really, really hate EYE and act like other people don't legitimately enjoy it?
If you don't like it that's absolutely fine, the game has a lot of issues and isn't for everyone, but why do you feel the need to look deeper and say it's all for some bizarre form of Holla Forums cred?

It's a below average cyberpunk serious sam with story elements poorly shoehorned in. Again, when the overwhelming majority of "discussion" boils down to the same old reposted meme circlejerk, it's obviously more about showing your nerd cred than the game actually being good.

Oh, it's you. I didn't recognize your posting style at first but the second you wrote "serious sam" it clicked.
You should change up your bait at some point, user. Otherwise people like me will start to recognize you.

Way to admit defeat.

You get five whole internet points user!

You play EYE until you have 85 Psi
The endings mean shit compared to the glory you find then and only then

It's literally the combination of FPS and RPG. Would you prefer it if I said FPS-RPG instead?

What does those 2 achievements supposed to be? I re-checked my achievement page and there's no icon that is any close to a gift box or a deer
stop making those waves
Also it's E.Y.E thread baby

Dog-piss b8

Literally more meaningless than metroidvania.

The main reason is that it's a really fun game for when you just want lots of combat. The gunplay is great, there are lots of cool ways to kill enemies, and the unlimited respawns make it perfect for ensuring you never run out of enemies to kill.

You don't have to wade through ingame cutscenes or story shit to get to the combat. You don't have to play to a particular part of a level for one good fight and then it's over - the fight lasts as long as you care to stay in that area.

I remember Silent Hunter 3 being a really good sim that had a real sense of being on a U-boat. Something about giant ships sinking in deep water also gives me chills. No idea about later installments though.


Attention to small gameplay mechanics that relate to real life allows the player to suspend one's disbelief more easily. Clear enough?
