In Response To: Re: LOL at the article (Peptuck) : My point herein is that consistency is something that inherently defines
Uh... no it doesn't. "Established knowledge" would be that Rockets do not damage LRV's. It doesn't matter if it makes logical sense compared to the real world or not. The player goes through the game with the knowledge that a warthog will consistently not blow up when hit by a rocket. : While direct inconsistency (Brute not dying when shot in head) is
Yeah, different ways, but one kills immersion, and the other does not. The more inconsistent, the less immersion in that gameworld. Arbitrary boss battles that can only be completing in one predefined way are not consistent with the gameplay we've had previously. Thus they ruin immersion and make you realize you are in fact, just playing a game. A warthog that doesn't explode from being hit by a rocket doesn't ruin consistency in the game. There's never a moment where it WILL explode. Likewise, in Halo 2 there is never a moment it WILL NOT explode. It's consistent, and it helps immerse you in the gameplay. : The basic fact of the matter is this: Halo and Halo 2 are both video games.
Yeah well, the boss battles are not very good gameplay to begin with. Certainly didn't help with the immersion. Anyways, I'm rather surprised you'd be bothered by the pistol and indestructable vehicles. I play the game to get away from the real world, I do not need real world guns and physics and graphics to immerse me in a game. I don't even consider that immersion. Besides, they may be 'logically' inconsistent when compared with the real world, but they are absolutely logically consistent in the game world itself.
