1st Person or 3rd Person

[GyasiM]

Which games/viewpoints do you prefer to play? 1st person, 3rd person or both? I personally prefer to play 1st person games. For some reason it makes me feel as if I am really the character vs. someone controlling the character. I also do not like having the ability to “Move the Camera” and see things that only a genii could see. This includes Racing games, I usually play with the cockpit view or full windshield view vs. the above car view.

When I saw trailers for MGS4 I thought to myself WOW what a great looking game and not much else. But then I got to see a 15 min walkthrough with commentary from one of the Game Directors. He explained how you could play the entire game in 1st person. And now I am sold and will hope I get lucky on June 12th.

Don’t get me wrong, 1st person has its cons, peripherals are very limited. And its hard to peak around corners. But having the option to play both is great.
