Video games imersion

Thpsguy

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'.

    Movies and games allow us to enjoy an experience that would be too much in real life.. It's fun being a soilder in a game but war would be no fun irl 

    Also being a bus driver in a game is lots of fun but in real life the passengers could pose a risk or if your a real taxi driver you have to worry about risks and people not paying 

    Also in real life I think I'd drive a family car something not too fast but in a game I'd enjoy racing car 

    As for movies you can imagine a world with superheros but in real life superheros wouldn't be able to exist due to not being able to make money and svse the world
