Immersion, The Facts & Fiction

[Caliburn]

I sincerely thank you for this post Konachibi. "Immersion" is clearly the popular buzzword for forum-goers at the moment and its about time everyone stopped throwing the term around to back up whatever point they're making.

It would be nice if we could stop all the arguements that go along the lines of "Oh but I have to look at FFXIV on a screen and so it doesn't feel real and this is ruining the IMMMERRRSSSIIIIOOONNNNlookatmeimagamedevelopernow."

One may as well say that Monopoly isn't immersive because you're playing on a board rather than running around a city building hotels everywhere.

Kudos, Konata.
