Jul 8, 2019 at 20:34 comment added Mazura When Fallout 4 was released it was a first person shooter. 254 mods later and there isn't any aspect of reality I've left unincluded (death from old age, aside). Now my copy of F4 is an immersive simulation.
Jul 8, 2019 at 20:18 comment added Mazura Both share the Latin root similis ('like' or 'similar'). simulation +1 (adjective: simulative). - "Meaning 'to use a model to imitate certain conditions for purposes of study or training' is from 1947." In 2019, now we need a meaning for the purposes of immersion (adjective: immersive).
Jul 8, 2019 at 14:17 comment added Davislor I don’t think this is correct. Verisimilitude is all about the appearance. Something might have verisimilitude but be unrealistic. Also, it’s a noun and the request was for an adjective.
Jul 8, 2019 at 2:35 comment added Zebrafish @Balaz2ta Yes, you're right. It's a fun word, but probably not appropriate. While you were writing your comment I edited my answer to mention that "simulation" is most likely the best word to use. "Simulation" means, I'm pretty sure, that it tries to faithfully replicate real-life conditions, so I think simply "simulation" or "simulator" might be best.

Jul 8, 2019 at 2:30 comment added Balaz2ta One consideration here - I assume this word is meant to convince the general public of the game's authenticity/accuracy? In this case 'verisimilitude', while being both an excellent word and technically correct, may be too obscure/unclear for the intended audience.
