The most immersive plot based, real emotion game you know.
« on: February 21, 2011, 11:07:38 pm »

The conditions are set out in the title.  The games most enjoyable element is pushing the story forward with character actions, (and interactions) that are believable based upon their character and thought process.  Strife encouraged.

My vote, (although, I never finished the game): Ogre Battle 64 
Beyond good and evil would probably be my second pick.

Fahrenheit/Heavy Rain would be my biggest picks.

I only played the first Fable, I never felt like I was really in the main characters shoes.  The guy never talked to anyone, so it felt like he wasn't interacting with the world around him.  Even when he was mercilessly bullying kids around town or having hot sex.

The first Homeworld. It was a very simple story, but the execution of it was just breathtaking. Partly what caught me off guard was the uniqueness of the atmosphere, the design and the polish.
Shadow of the Colossus was also quite good.

Oh man, I just remembered a good one!  Star Trek Klingon Academy.  Produced by interplay, so you know the gameplay is good.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

I can't say it's all that immersive, but PlanetScape: Torment has an absolutely brilliant story.

Planescape: Torment.  Has enough good plot and character behavior to get away with not exactly being in the most immersive format possible.

Demons Souls

A lone soul wandering the worlds... slaying demons... to gain their power?  To set things right?

I'd put my vote for Shadow of the Colossus.
