10 Exact Moments Where Video Game Immersion Was Shattered

In the current age, we are blessed with games so glossy and well-crafted that they look almost more real than real life. Better yet, games that have slightly outdated graphics are often treated to visual upgrades or mods, allowing players to go through old favourites with new modern day graphics.

And so, in a sense, we are spoiled. But even as spoiled as we are, one curse still pervades: the curse of environment loading.

While in many cases it can't be helped, it's uniquely jarring to appear in a new area and see it still be a blurry unrendered mess.
