[General Discussion] Gamings best ever backgrounds

I forget what part of FFXII this was, but you get out of this cave after beating a boss, the cave collapses behind you. When you get out you're out in the desert and there a few "lizard-men" npc's hanging about. It plops you into East Westersand I think. At this moment of repose I took the time to move my character to the edge of the small summit and take a look around the horizon and for the most part, the desert was drawn out to the detail of those big shade rocks that stand out. I felt pretty immersed at that moment, when I started aligning my characters in certain cinematic fashions and rotating the camera slowly.

I agree with Kolba about Liberty City, the feel for that part is just perfect. I also agree with what Megavolt said about the intro to Resident Evil 2. In retrospect, I really like when the RE games start out with the character mostly being stuck by a bunch of zombies without a weapon. It starts shit off really well. All that fire in the beginning of RE2 helps, too. I believe there was a fire-start in RE3 too.

Legend of Mana had a high immersion factor agreeably because of the music and the art, and story. I also felt quite immersed in Baten Kaitos. Those lush visuals are amazing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
