>immersive sim

I hate the term too but it gets the job done.

I'm not familiar with Tron 2.0 but we should make a list of what counts.

>Deus Ex

>Deus Ex Invisible War

>Deus Ex Human Revolution

>Deus Ex Mankind Divided

>Dishonored

>Dishonored 2

>Dishonored Death of the Outsider

>System Shock

>System Shock 2

>Prey

>Prey Mooncrash

>Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines

>Tron 2.0?

These games are FPSRPGs with semi-linear level design. That level design encourages exploration and experimentation as well as allowing different classes and builds to succeed. There is the front door which you can fight through or perhaps even speak your way in if you have a silver tongue. Back door to sneak in or a vent to crawl through elsewhere. These games allow a degree of freedom most games cannot and will not. Then you have the added stuff of skills, perks, gear and weapons to further diversify the play through.

OP is an unwashed idiot and is confusing a cyberpunk aesthetic with immersive sims. From Tron's wiki page:

>The design of the game's levels is linear; there are no choices about how to proceed or of what to say during the interactions with other characters.

I thought that it was a genre used to describe a game that has multiple solutions to solve a problem.

>I hate the term too but it gets the job done.

It does not. It could mean literally any sort of game, using it to describe only games with choice and character growth is arbitrary and dumb.

>These games are FPSRPGs

there you go

>with semi-linear level design.

>These games allow a degree of freedom most games cannot and will not.

stop memeing

>>16501114

Any sort of game in any genre can have that, choice and variety are features, not a genre of it's own.

Instead of asking for le immersive simulators, ask for games that have lots of choice and character growth.

>>16501114

devil may cry is not an immersive sim

>>16501123

Its not memeing. That is what these games do. They are not corridor linear nor are they open world. Skyrim would also count as an FPSRPG but it is not one of these games.

I'd like to immerse myself into a sim of me fucking lady

>>16501179

I'd like to character action myself into an immersive simulation of me not posting on an imageboard every day of my life

>immersive sim

>a nothing term someone came up with just to describe his favorite games

>could encompass such a wide amount of games that it's almost a meaningless term

I think the only reason why this term came about is because of the glut of shitty games we've had as of late so people are trying to invent new genres just to manipulate developers into trying to make those sorts of games again. Rather than shitty free to play GaaS titles.

bump

>imersive sim meme

>>>/trash/
