 ST> In your opinion! If a game doesn't make me feel something then
 ST> it's not worth playing in MY opinion. Games should be immersive, and
 ST> there are some that do try to immerse players into the game, such as
 ST> Resident Evil and a lot of role-playing and adventure games.
 ST> I, for one, LIKE a game in which the characters, storyline,
 ST> and atmosphere is so well done that it makes me feel for what is
 ST> happening in the game. It's the only thing that really makes me want to
 ST> play and what keeps me coming back to play them.
 ST> Resident Evil was great! There was really nothing like it
 ST> before. The atmosphere was incredible, especially playing it with the
 ST> lights out, and some scenes did make me jump in the original, like
 ST> with the dogs crashing through the windows and the zombie that fell out
 ST> of the closet, and following a blood-smeared wall with the music slowly
 ST> building in intensity. Great stuff!
 ST> And there are a lot of scenes in RPG's that really touched me,
 ST> especially in the Lunar series. To me, if a videogame doesn't make you
 ST> feel something then it failed to live up to it's potential.
I dislike games with a plot..  I like RPG's, Strategy & Beat-em-up's mostly, 
but I don't need to know why character "X" is doing what he is..  I mean, 
does it matter why ken is fighting in street fighter..  No, You just wanna 
play the game, complete it, then get onto the next one..  I've played 
thousands of games over the last 16 years & none have kept my Inerest like 
the street fighter series..  But I don't kneed to know anything about the 
characters to aprecciate it..
Regarding your point on RE..  There was something like it..  Alone in The 
Dark..  I love most of capcom's games..  But that game was just a blatant 
rip-off..
