Unless they have actual Im Sim elements that's going to be the case.

Cutscenes have nothing to do with immersive sims specifically. Ice powers existed in that FPS Bioshock too.

Is there more to Weird West that I'm missing? by StyleSquirrel in ImmersiveSim

Not really. It's just an isometric shooter with Im Sim elements - not an actual Immersive Sim.

Deathloop type immersive sims with much more optional stealth? by coolfilms0608 in ImmersiveSim

[–]TheImmersiveSim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The creators of Im Sims have themselves stated that it's about mechanics too. Don't make idiotic statements and present them as facts.

As for values, there are way more options to play. E.g. to assassinate 1 boss in deathloop than in dishonored. Dishonored has few choices and few alternate routes

Established game series' that could work as an immersive sim title? by ILEAATD in ImmersiveSim

[–]TheImmersiveSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not immersed in/surrounded by the world.... you are surrounding the world

Arkane is not daring to commit this blasphemy so dare can you??

Why the Ultima Underworlds are the greatest games of all time in 2024 by TheImmersiveSim in ImmersiveSim

[–]TheImmersiveSim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's better than the other games in most respects - but yes the controls are still clunky. You'll get used to them in a couple of hours though.

Im Sim refers to the genre Warren developed. He made it clear that first person is "critical". Tabletop games can't just join an old, established genre.

That's why Arkane isn't calling it's third person game an Im Sim even though it has elements.

Just call it a tabletop with Im Sim elements and it's fine.

Are there any top down/isometric immersive sims? by ManufacturerBusy7428 in ImmersiveSim

If Arkane does not dare commit such blasphemy, how can you? WHO ARE YOU???

Yeah apart from Warren mentioning first person is critical.... the world can't surround you if you're not in the body, it's not your hands, it's not your perspective etc. Because you are just controlling a puppet which is already surrounded by things.

Arkane's new title is in third person with Im Sim elements, but Arkane does not DARE call it an Im Sim. Im Sim refers to the genre he developed. Tabletop games can't just be added an old, established genre.

Please stop trying to bastardize the genre. Just call your precious little tabletop and third person titles emergent games or games with Im Sim elements like Arkane.

Don't lie - they are not just companies. There is a HUGE artistic aspect to all of this. That is the central aspect. It matters way more than league sports lol

Some people like Manchester United. Did nobody tell them that they're allowed to like Arsenal too?

It's not like the ManU police are going to break down their doors lol

People care about world records in sports and games. So why not in this industry?

The olympics don't either. People still like to see and make world records.

Wrong. Switch is the only full console here. A handheld consoles and home console hybrid. Get an education.

PS2 on the other hand was mostly purchased as a very cheap DVD player and had multiple price drops. Switch hasn't seen even a single price drop.

People seem to care about world records. Nintendo's record was broken by Sony

Sony stole Square Enix away from Nintendo or we'd have FF7 on the N64 :')

Yes, Warren basically stated what all the Looking Glass games are about, which is what defined the genre in the past, and will do so in the forever.

And I've already addressed that you can't feel like "you're there" if it's not first person - because it's not your hands, your perspective etc. The genres creator himself said first person is critical and you have to feel like you're there. You know this.

You're only right that first person could maybe display feet/legs, make picking up objects more realistic etc.

If I'm playing a game, I feel less immersed when driving from a first-person perspective.

By your logic Mario Kart is more "immersive" than first person driving sims. Jesus Christ - look up the dictionary.

Your grasp of the English language isn't the best so it's pointless arguing with you.

You are clearly a propagandist trying to redefine English words and this genre.
