Multiplayer (Off-Topic)

I counter with Arma. It's completely multiplayer, yet just as immersive as any single player game.

Just finished my high chaos Dishonored run. Ghost playthrough is next. Love the game. I'd still say Arma is more immersive, if that's what you want out of games.

But Arma isn't inherently immersive, is it? I assume very few people actually voice-chat using military-like practices and jargon, for instance. On the other hand, well-made games rarely deviate their presentation from what would expected of their universe, thus being inherently more immersive.

Mind you, I'm not saying, and I hope Cody isn't as well, that you can't be immersed in a MP game. I'm just saying it is inherently harder to do so.

Also, to avoid further confusion:

1st premise: MP games are less complex than real sports
2nd premise: MP games are less meaninful than real sports
3rd premise: MP games are less immersive than SP
4th premise (which I forgot was there): being less immersive makes it less interesting
