Who Also Does this...?

[Kreekakon]

I know about immersion. I understand how important immersion is to Amnesia's gameplay. But you seem to miss my point.

Kreekakon, you started this thread. Did you run straight into the monsters the first time you played the game?

What I'm trying to get across is this:
The chance of someone randomly discovering that some of the monsters despawn after death and then tries to systematically do that with every monster on his/her first time playing through the game is zero. It doesn't happen.

Now, if someone (like me) has played through the game many times and just isn't as scared as he/she was the first time any longer (again like me, I assume many are like me in that respect), decided to try this strategy, then breaking immersion is a foregone conclusion.

Now, what I don't get is why it is so bad for someone to try to play the game in a new way? Even if it breaks immersion?

Well, if you put it that way, you're knowingly putting aside immersion entirely, and just seeing how the game can work on a technical scale.

In this case, I wouldn't call it a bad thing anymore, as you're basically not intending to play a immersive game, you're just testing out how it can work in different aspects even if it destroys the story, and immersion of the game.

Just so you know, I'm not being sarcastic. I'm being perfectly honest right now. In the way you put it it's just fine.
