Late to the party, but I'm pretty sure the video that Matty was talking about booting up the OG Xbox for the first time was My Retro Life

Absolutely love the Illmatic analogy.

Can definitely understand the immersive sim bit. It really kind of is just a term we use for games that immerse us in their worlds better than others. I think you might be right. Maybe games like Snowrunner or Flight Sim should be what we consider immersive sims, and those other games as just FPS rpgs that do a great job of world building.

Great Episodes Dukes! Food for thought, @ethangach who is a writer for kotaku pointed out some interesting bits from document submitted by CMA on their issues with MS's so called remedies. It poaints a picture that there would be no profit sharing in cloud with MS owning ABK. They would grant access to said content, but any in-game purchases would be direct to MS and no percentage would go to service providers. So like it is now on sotrefronts/platform holders theres 30% to the service providers like Steam, Sony ect. That would go away with the cloud version.

I really don't consider Dishonored an immersive sim. I like the game and finished it twice, but it's really a stealth-action fps with magic and rpg elements. There's nothing particularly immersive about it and just having the ability to pick up, throw, and drop certain objects does not make it a sim. Actually, I think I just realized that the term "Immersive Sim" is redundant and overly descriptive. All of these games are just stealth-action fps games. Whoever coined the term is a genius in marketing. I guess it's better than calling games Deuslikes.
