StaceyPowers Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 When you play video games, do you usually tune out your physical environment? Do you do so on purpose, or does it just happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 It just happens and it can cause an insect to crawl up my leg, which will then cause me to pause the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Some games have the capacity to absorb me into the game's surrounding that I wouldn't be aware where I am anymore unless I get tapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 The first time I played Elder scrolls vs. Skyrim, I was totally lost, I felt the spirit of VR and forgot that I have something to look out via my surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 The only time I have done this, is really when I’m in a VR game or if I have the lights off and it’s a dark room I kinda of zone out and zone into the actual game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You could have easily made use of the game's tutorials and know exactly what to do and when to do it in the game so you don't get lost.

Justin11 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 That's the essence of using the in game map to find your route back to the mission line in case you miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Not really. I'm very aware what's going on around me most of the time. I do get into the games I play, but I don't get so fixated on them that I lose track of the day or when I receive a phone call or someone comes over. I'm also constantly checking the clock so I don't play too much. But I can understand some focusing more on the game that they lose track of time.

Expand Actually I can miss a place or two when I am in a very vast map trying to explore but it doesn't really mean that I'm going to get lost or don't recognise where I have been in the past in the game.

Justin11 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 When the map is there for you to track back, you don't have to miss out tracking back when you miss out from your surroundings while playing the game. Unless the game lack in-game map, before otherwise can be said for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
