Immersion, The Facts & Fiction

[Konachibi]

Also magnetism may have been called magic at one point because people didn't understand it. Fantasy just expands on that idea...

CRAP I DID IT AGAIN. YOU GUYS ARE BADDDD LET ME LEAVE T.T

You're becoming immersed in this thread.

Yeah, I went there again.

In immersion I think we are getting the two worlds mixed up.

1 the world that is in the game
2 the world that we perceive the game represents

As in the second post on this thread, if they put a big advert on the screen. That would be part of the games world but it would harm the world that we perceive the game represents.

I have not seen Garlond. In the games world it is not there, but in the world that we perceive, it is just across the sea.

Not really, we're sort of feeling our way around looking for the next part of the debate to latch our claws onto. I think we were just hovering around 'realism' a minute ago.

Indeed, you've reached half of my post amount in... 5 months more time than it took me XD

Can we associate magic with immersion? If we go off-topic too much the rep will close the thread.

[Rinoa]

Really? They would do that just for getting off topic?

I think so, but so many topics have gone off-topic on the 1st forum page now that I think they'll just say "It's a general discussion thread, talk about whatever you want."

If they don't though, we're already miles off-topic.

Konachibi, I kindly compliment your take on this. I've seen so many threads that have droned down deafeningly to a cacophony of clamoring complaints. But really, its refreshing to see fellow players not given over to complaints but looking at things logically, kudos Konachibi!

Immersion is in the player's head, not the designer's technology.
