I see your point in wanting to "escape reality" in a way, but most people like to do that in their video games in a way that could really happen. Aliens out there have a religious vendeta against us...sure, shields and plasma guns...sure, intergalactic space travel...sure, but not jumping correctly on planets is not acceptable :-) Anyway, most people like to play around in a place (game) that is realistic to real life and you could imagine yourself doing, therefore gives it more realism, and enhances the "get away", but still imaginable aspect of the future...
P.S. I for one, love realist games...they can have great, abstract plots, and imaginary worlds, but a level of realism is required, not to distract me, or distance me from the game experience itself...at least, that is my thought process...
