Has anybody here really felt 'alive' when playing a game?

You know, feeling like you actually are dirty harry or Neo.
MGS comes close, but in the end you are just working through stealth sections and bosses to FMV you cant control. Snake is the hero not you.

In final fantasy 7 i always felt like i was being forced into things i didnt want to do. Like in disc two when cloud (your character) gets injured and you have to play as a tifa. It totally changes the feel of the game, and it is ultra annoying losing you best character!

I just wish that in a game you could be in complete control and do what you wanted to. In MGS i would have taken that shot, screw ninja (grey fox)!

I like playing all these 'movie games' but i still want freedom now and then.

What do you think?

i know what you mean i was screaming at snake to fire and was madly pressing the buttons damn game lol.
final fantasy 7 didn't have a problem with seeing as i got tifa levelled up to around the same level of cloud when he went into his coma so didn't affect me that much gamewise
