Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

I'm pretty sure airships will take like 1 minute, not thirty.

I can't believe someone liked your post. lol.

That was me, it made me giggle, and I like to giggle.

And yeah, airships will be a quicker way of getting there without 'cheating' :p

There is a place where you can get that kind of immersion. It's called prison. ;)

Prison?

There's a place where you can get that kind of immersion. It's called MMOs.

DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT WORD AGAIN!

nah, I'm jokin'! Anyway, immersion can't be broken by a mere Loading screen (instant teleportation is that). Look at WoW, it has loading screens but they don't break your immersion in the game.
It's the LAST thing that breaks immersion. What really breaks immersion is the alarm that says Go To School or Go To Eat and that makes you go like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- so you have to wait to play with your teeth cringing of despair, and sh*t, and yeah I'm stupid. Is there any d*ck around?

Let's wait and see when airships come out.

Is anyone else impressed this got to 92 pages? I don't even know what the point of the thread was anymore and I'm fairly sure it never even had one but, that aside, the sheer size of it is quite the feat.

I like pandas

Actually, it couldn't be that immersive or you'd still be staring at that MMO. 9000 hours works out to be just over a year. Hope you brought enough to eat!
