Video games imersion

Anyone else like video game immersion? It's the reason why I love the ps5 haptics and how the Wii controller and joy cons can clip into tennis rackets etc I like to get the most realism out of a motion controlled game 

I have 3 joy cob wheels 2 Joy con 2 wheels a Xbox 360 gyro wheel a small wheel and pedal set that work on ps2 and GameCube snd a full racing sim with wheel pedals and gearbox mountee on a frame for my ps5 which I use for taxi, bus and truck Sims 

I always get so absorbed in a good game too

  • I know this a late post, but for better or worse I think this does come down to monotropic element of ASD. I think for us, the external world more easily falls away than it does for neurotypical people - and its hard to explain how we can concentrate/focus for such long period of time.

    I get the same experience when watching movies. I have NT family members who 'just watch movies to relax and never seen it as nothing more than a social experience'.
