feel free, there's little chance you'll convince me it's anything but a pointless filler statement to unspecifically say "game is good" while trying to sound anything but retarded. I doubt the other cretin who replied to me would consider pacman immersive whereas some other sped would fall at his knees to it. it's just a subjective non-committal statement synonymous with saying "i like it :)".

nta, and while I agree that immersion does rely a lot on preference, I'd say it's more nuanced than that.
For me, in OP's image, I just appreciate the UI being vaguely unique instead of how it's treated as less than an afterthought in most games today. I'm gonna be staring at the UI all game long, so it's immersive when it has its own identity instead of minimalist garbage.
however, as an aside, I hate the dense volumetric fog. If this were an old game, I could accept it as a limitation of hardware, but if it were a modern game aping a retro game, It'd disgust me and ruin my immersion.

It's bit frustrating that you continuously belittle and think so much less of everyone who happens to hold any kind of different opinion on the thing. You just keep repeating insults and it makes me wonder if you will even read anything I say or just call me retard/tranny/nigger/thirdie or whatever else. It reminds me of the usual anti-intellectualism that seems to be very popular recently and something people are proud of. Or worse, thinking they are smart when they ignore any emotion-based descriptions.

Most likely I will be wasting a good chunk of my time only to be insulted but I hope someone else who holds somewhat your opinion can see a differing opinion and consider it.
Here we go. Sorry about ESL writing, I hope it isn't too hard to read.

I think you misunderstand immersion or what people mean with it. The other anon put it simply, but I'll try and give few examples.
You don't necessarily need to be immersed for game to be good or you to like it and you don't always feel immersed when a game is good or you like it. For example many multiplayer games keeps your thoughts about non-game things as well. Or if you are playing multiplayer game with friends, especially local, where you are next to each other and not necessarily "immersed" in a game despite having fun.
Same with things like puzzle games or some more "artistic" and "walking sim" games. Not necessarily good games when looked as what games can be as medium, but still very immersive.
I still can understand your point, especially if you keep encountering "immersion" a lot. But it's bit frustrating if you just refuse to accept it as any kind of term that could be useful for communicating someone's feelings towards a game. Same as saying that "fun is a buzzword"
I'm not sure if I'll even read your reply because I'm kinda tired of people just yelling insults and trying to make the other person feel bad or belittle them etc
Off to grind OSRS, which doesn't immerse me necessarily but is fun

Have you ever played DnD and had to differentiate between what your in-game character would do (aka "role-play") vs what you would do? It's similar to that, but if a game is good at immersion it's not something you have to think about actively because the atmosphere created by the game bridges that gap. My character's concerns become my concerns. Games that have good atmosphere do that well:
Subnautica (only the first one)
Morrowind
Most well-done horror games (silent hills, amnesia, dead space 1)
Stalker SoC and CoP.

Granted since a lot of these games are dated, suspension of belief may be more difficult for some due to graphics, but it's hard for me to find immersive atmosphere in modern vidya. It may be different for you.

No, you miss the point or fail to grasp the distinction because you could be saying the same about games that use super realistic visuals. What's the point of making a videogame realistic? It's a videogame. Graphics aren't the point, the fun provided by the game loop is. It's actually better or more fun to introduce original stylistic representation instead of attempting the former. Then you can question why AI companies want the technology to generate artificial footage that can fool a person with near 1:1 realism

I tried playing it on a P-233, I later tried playing it again on IIRC a Duron with a fancier video card but it ran like utter shite so I never discovered what's a paladin and why it is so hated by some. It also liked to crash a lot.
I tried it several years ago, perhaps around a decade ago, once more. On some even fancier tech. It still ran like shit but at least it was tolerable. But by then I had way too many other games to play.

Its not a meme word retard it means the presentation makes it look like an actual world that the fictional characters could believably live in.

My guess is that PS2 inspired art styles not only look way better but the games themselves are far more creative then any of the PS1 derivative slop.

PS1/n64/pixel graphics are the UE5 of indie games.
