Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 3

[Sakonosolo]

I think the puzzles shouldn't be so obscure that a good chunk of the players get stuck but I don't see anything wrong with having difficult puzzles that might confuse some people. Immersion is all well and good but I don't think that compromising the game (by making it too easy that most people don't have to put any thought into it at all, which I don't know if that's happening here or not) for the sake or immersion is a very good thing to do. My main point would be to look at the new Thief game where jumping was relegated to context sensitive for the sake of "immersion" which I think a load of shit and just makes it a lot more non-immersive. You're never going to be able to give everyone the same experience unless your game is hardly a game and making it that way just ruins the experience I feel.
