"Immersive sim" is a bad genre name because it describes a subjective experience and a process rather than a concrete set of mechanics, structures, or design pillars. It's like calling a genre "fun adventure" or "realistic game", it tells you how the game feels, not how it works.

immersive sim is a weird non-definition
Like, to me it'd work better as the term for sandboxy stuff like terraria/DF/elin/elona but the definition means "deus ex clones"

deus ex = first person rpg
thief = stealth
that's it, no subjective virtue signals or clumping wildly different games together

Nah mechanically immersive games need their own descriptor. Call of Duty and Receiver 2 are both shooters but one is far more immersive due to in depth mechanics.
WoW and a lot of rpgs are straight up anti-immersion due to presentation and lazy mechanics. It feels like pressing a button to cast a spell vs casting a spell.

Immersive Sim is the gayest fucking term ever coined besides Character Action Game.

RPG is also a stupid genre name but yeah deus ex is structured very closely to WRPGs, if it were fantasy-themed then everyone would instantly agree it's an RPG.

Nah, "immersive sim" implies that the game has a specific focus on immersion.

i will never forgive the internet for butchering "roguelike"
it was a shit term but at least it meant something
nowadays it's used for shit that might not even have random generation or permadeath at all

At least people are sometimes smart enough to separate "roguelike" and "roguelite" sometimes.
...sometimes.

I also hate the "survival horror" label. It really just means "puzzle adventure game with horror aesthetics and usually just a facade of resource management". I've seen survival horror fans claim that darkwood and the forest aren't survival horror games because they're actually just horror games with survival elements. And the cherry on top is people claiming Crow Country as a survival horror game when it's really just a puzzle adventure game with completely option combat/resource management(it can literally be turned off).
