    Dunno why people don't focus on enjoyment factor like back in the day. If people became enthralled with FF7 it simply meant they were enjoying it, same with all other games. The second the word 'immersion' started flying around all hell broke loose and suddenly the enjoyable games which are still as enjoyable as ever aren't enjoyable because some nobody reviewer from a dumb game website decided to throw the word 'immersion' into the mix as a buzz-word.

    I think if we just put the word 'immersion' behind us and just try to enjoy the game, it'll be a lot more fun, and suddenly all these things that mattered because of immersion won't matter anymore, because you're enjoying yourself.

    Only problem is, in the process of talking about immersion, have made 'subjective' into a new buzzword.
    Because we all have beliefs, values, ideas, nations, cultures, backgrounds, we all to an extent suffer from subjectivity. Thus i argue do we really know what objectivity is? What was it 4 years ago we thought that antimatter was impossible and all objective evidence pointed to something else, yet here antimatter is now. We as cognitive beings in this reality we perceive, are always in flux which makes objectivity as we see it subjective.
