I see a sparkle of comprehension in there. It IS more immersive because it's not an EYESORE. Eyesores interfere with the suspension of disbelief. Add it up.

Lol. An eyesore is better than magically rotating grass. When I change perspective, the perspective should change. Its not immersive for all plantlife to be attached to tiny swivels in the ground, and look identical from EVERY angle.

For that matter, actually... These are SCREENSHOTS. You can't even be sure that its NOT stupidly magical rotating grass.

Ok SEE! Now we are getting somewhere. Now you understand, but you are just coming down on the wrong side.

We can be sure. Because it's locked to 3D space.

You really left with "law of computer programming". That is what I will think of when I need some amusement in my life. Lol.

I think you mean replace. And no, it wouldn't be because I like it, but because it looks better.

You must have cancer of the ego, because I see that it has swollen to grotesque proportions. No one could POSSIBLY disagree with YOU! Oh no! You know all! You are always right about everything! If YOU like something, it really must be the ONLY way! All others are just misguided! Oh, thank God we have your infallible wisdom to guide us to the light of seeing that in reality, all plants are better when you can see them rotate as you walk by!

Locked to 3D space? You don't know that because the image doesn't MOVE. And you didn't take a very close look at the Xenoblade image... They aren't all cardboard cut-outs either... But I find it highly amusing that you would ACTUALLY prefer spinning cardboard cut-out plants to plants with SOME sense of realism.

I think the grass looks particularly bad in this last one. Notice that the grass is indeed 2D grass. It's painfully obvious. There is a better way to do 2D grass though:

Wow! Xenoblade's grass is so much easier on the eyes. It's because every piece of grass is identical, and it auto-rotates to face the camera. It's an illusion that is broken if you stare at one piece of grass while you move around, but as an ambient component of the overall scene it is quite pleasing to the eyes. Also the Xenoblade grass would result in even better framerates.

Do it!

Also I know the trees are a little more of a stretch, but who thinks the trees in Xenoblade look better? They are 2D.
