Immersion, The Facts & Fiction

[Rhomagus]

thats because people on here have extremest views. Which is one of the reasons the game won't do well.
Harry potter is one of the most successful franchises of all time
star wars TOR has over 1million beta signups and is nearing or over 500k preorders now
Shadow of the Colossus was a hit and is thought of as a classic and it forced people to walk around without even having enemies in the world.

I provided you with multiple -real life- success stories to back up my arguments, but you argue "i dont think people really like those things" even though they have been far more successful than FFXIV.

Immersion is something created by the game devs. Its what brings a game a good review. If this wasn't true than games would be reviewed on gameplay alone, and they are not.

I actually provided real arguments, quotes, and links to games that were a success based on immersion and you just said "no one agrees with you"

Although the quotes i showed, clearly shows people who -study- the field do....

anyone who would argue "welllll my friends all hate harry potter so more people hate it than like it" when its one of the biggest franchises worldwide.

When you start to argue things that way, that's extremism. Illogical "my friends are like this so it must be true" arguments.

That and its the exact same few people consistantly arguing that immersion is bad and getting very few likes for it.

If you think you're position is right, make a thread and poll people on it. Because so far the posts about saving immersion have been getting a lot more likes than the ones asking for "freedom"

It's not that immersion is bad. You really are choosing to be willfully ignorant or you really aren't reading. It's that your level of immersion suggests an unhealthy design choice when it needlessly dictates immerison...

nevermind you're going back on ignore.
