Immersion, The Facts & Fiction

[Konachibi]

I'm very sorry if I misunderstood you. But I got confused when you said things like the mini map cannot decrease the immersion. Mini-maps don't spawn out of no where into our sight. This isn't the biggest thing that decreases immersion due to it being well designed. Every aspect of a game, even a small part of the UI can decrease immersion, especially when it completely defies real world logic in a way we've never seen before and can not be explained through lore.

Please excuse all my post... I'm going to take a break now ^^;

Now you're mixing realism with fantasy as grounds for immersion. As I said, fantasy doesn't *have* to be realistic to be immersive. Jazz Jackrabbit is a fantasy action game, I can run around as a human-sized green rabbit with a laser gun blowing up everything in sight and leaping 50 metres into the air. Where's the realism in that?

Also of note, re-read what i said about our universe.

Things don't have to be explained in order for them to exist.
