This is sort of a story of my life on the gaming side. Those days when I really got immersed in the gaming world. A small bit of about me: I'm a guy and I turned 18 this year and have moved on from many games. I also have 3 brothers, the 2 of them I played a lot with. The other 1 was just busy with life as an adult. Also I'm currently in a Hardcore MilSim group in Arma 3. Back then....: Back around 2007 to 2009, I use to play a lot of racing games and RTS games like Command and Conquer Generals. Those were games that were chill and not really intense. Dam...... I still remember when I first played Call of Duty 4's Campaign, back somewhere in 2009 and 2010(I was round 12 to 13 years old). I felt so immersed in it. As if I was actually there. I still remember I was literally scared and panicked when escaping the ship that was sinking. My heart was beating so fast and hard! At the part when you viewed the eyes of the president that gets executed. When the Khaled Al-Asad, starting aim the pistol towards your face. I was like "Oh God! Is he gonna shoot!". My heart was racing like hell! Then when he pulled the trigger. My heart skipped a beat with my eyes wide open in shock..... In the part were Jackson died, from a crashing of a helicopter, that was hit by the shock of the nuke's explosion. I felt sad and sorry for him. Also, the part when you were doing an infiltration to kill Zakhaev. I was literally scared of the dogs that can kill you in an instant and them getting really close to your face. That is what really scared me every time( The current me, I don't get scared of them anymore) . When I get attack by the dogs, I was really scared and in panic, especially that part when trying to kill the dog by pressing "V" was just near impossible for me back then. And when your partner(the other sniper guy with you who I forgot his name) got his leg badly injured. I was really in scared when I carry him around. Knowing that I am unprotected and undefended from any attacks(especially from dogs). Spoiler of the ending of Call of Duty 4's Campaign: Spoiler Also at the ending of the Campaign of Call of Duty 4, I was really emotionally moved, sad, and angry. As if I lost someone very important to me died and pasted away. When seeing Gaz and Griggz died, when the time the pistol that Price passed towards me, I was filed with hate and anger. After pulling that trigger and killing Zakhaev. I felt a relieved that I feel like my job is done and that I can die now(Referring to Soap that you play as of course) The current me: Right now..... I don't anymore have those feelings that I had back then when I first play CoD4's Campaign. My heart has hardened a lot from 5 years. I no long have the same fun, excitement, and emotional feelings anymore. When I play games now a days, I just have a dull emotionless feeling through out most of the time playing. I might have some occasional laughs that are caused by seeing a weird funny glitch (Mostly specifically on the buggy days of Battlefield 4) , a conversation with a friend, or just a part of a story that makes me giggle a bit. But when I think about "those" days.... I just makes me smile and sad at the same time. Happy knowing that I enjoyed my time back then and sad because I no longer have those feelings that I use to have...... I have played a lot of games and invested a lot into them and then move onto anther game and repeat. Such as Racing games, RTS, Battlefield 2, CoD (Specifically the Campaigns) , Roblox (Build Games and played too) , Battlefield 3-4, DayZ Mod, Arma 2, DayZ SA, Arma 3, and now I'm in a MilSim Unit in Arma 3.(In that order, that was a short of my gaming life) So as you can see through the games I've played, I was maturing from a casual player to a hardcore MilSim player in Arma 3(to this day). And all that happened within 8 years of my life. Even if it has been long 8 years, I feel like it just happened in a short period of time. Like 3 years for an example.......... What do you guys think?: So guys, do you have a similar feeling as me? That feeling of being really immersed in a game.... Those days...... I decided to share this story of mine. Wondering if there are others who feel the same way. (Well I at least have a brother who I played with a lot and also, somewhat, feels the same way)
