I personally love the immersion. What's kept me from getting into a lot of popular games lately is not really feeling the world around you is alive. I know it's a balance and there's a lot of people that think that a game is a game and doesn't need to be realistic, and just find it annoying, but in this scenario it works for me. I love getting sidetracked in a saloon and ending up playing poker for 20 minutes then starting a fight. The fact that I haven't done many story missions in 3 days doesn't bother me at all. I like that ditching my horse and not having it magically re-appear makes me think about my actions. I could see that being annoying in some games, but in one where I appreciate the immersion, I find it actually adds to it

But I realize I'm wired differently than the mainstream these days. I'd take Arma over Call of Duty any day, for example.
