One of the most immersive games I've ever seen has them, and all over, SKyrim... I really don't know what else to add to that. /discuss

I don't really see how that is the end of the discussion since you didn't add anything to the discussion... I've never had problems with loading screens so I don't expect to have a problem with the ones GW2 has

Originally posted by miagisan The top complaint about them (in Gw2) is Immersion, from what I understand and have seen zones are rather large, and load screens short. The game I see most hailed for it's immersion is Skyrim, which again is full of them, how is this a apples and oranges scenario?

Originally posted by dudeduder45 neither did the op....what is the reference to which they are addressing load screens? it's an obiguous open ended statement, of 2 games which have nothing to do with each other.

Originally posted by Distopia cause Skyrim is a single player rpg, while GW2 is a mmorpg. It would be like comparing skyrim to wow, skyrim to tor, skyrim to eve....well you get my drift.

Originally posted by miagisan It's a simple example of immersive world dynamics, and IMO a damn good example of it. For every minute you are angry , you lose 60 seconds of happiness."-Emerson If you can't argue the point don't say anything at all. |

except that the op is not comparing the entirety of the two games, the op is comparing only loading screen which both GW2 and Skyrim have.

no its not. skyrim you can actually somewhat influence the world you live in (killing npcs like quest givers and such, or robbing and looting homes, i could go on). Load screens have nothing to do with immersion. in fact you could get rid of all loading screens in skyrim with a little modding.
Immersion is not about loading screens, heck one of the most immersive mmos i ever played was LOTRO. Immersion is about how the atmosphere and people make you feel being within the world. loading screens are nothing more than that...a loading screen.
Hence apples to oranges.....skyrim is a lot more immersive cause it makes you feel like a part of the world....most mmos have yet to capture that feeling.

Originally posted by miagisan /sigh have you read the beta impressions? It's a direct question to those saying load screens in GW2 break the immersion. I figured that went without saying, then again I hardly ever see you post over here so maybe you didn't realize this has been a topic that pops up now and then.

why would i have? That premise was no where in your original post. Now if you said "Based on comments on the official forums regarding the loading screens, what do you think about instancing/immersion?" i woiuld have had something to work with. Isee no comments on these forums regarding loading screens and immersion.....i dont troll every forum :P

Don't all games have loading screens? How much immersion do you need? It's a game not real life.

Originally posted by Distopia no i wasnt aware :) like i said...it seemed awefully open ended in the original post, so i had no idea what the fuss was. Loading screens never bothered me. Immersion is not something that is affected by it, imho.

Originally posted by miagisan Yeah, Skyrim has a seamless open world which does it best at being very realistic; geography and scale wise. Also it has mounts and allows for non-stop traveling from border to border. GW2 has amazingly immersive cities though but the zones (what I saw of them) employ terrain to determine borders and are like individual "basins", like in many other mmorpgs, they are filled with clearly marked, dedicated content and you are running everywhere. In Skyrim, teleporting and cities and interiors needing loading are the only transgressions of their realistic, open world concept, in GW2, there are more. Still, the sheer amount of artwork, the quality of music and liveliness of npc's make it a very immersive game compared to say, Swtor. |
