1st Person or 3rd Person - Blu-ray Forum

smallvillefan27 · 03-24-2008, 08:36 PM

i love 3rd person because i can see everything alot better, another person said i love seeing what my chr is doing, 1st person it is soo hard to see stuff coming.

brett_day · 03-24-2008, 08:44 PM

IMHO i love 1st person much better than 3rd person. to me it adds more of a chanllenge to the game as you have to constantly be looking all around you for the bad guys! 3rd person always has seemed slightly easier to me as you get to see more of the battlefield, just my opinion!

1st person is better for run-and-gun shooters.

3rd person is by far better for tactical shooters, aslong as they dont pull a Lost Planet (where the camera and targeting sights are semi independent)

Cordre69 · 03-24-2008, 09:27 PM

3rd person ftw.
I prefer aiming in 1st person though.

smallvillefan27 · 03-24-2008, 10:13 PM

i really wanna see what the aiming system is like for the new gta, they say its a combo of alot of things, so ill bet it will interesting

Irishwiseguy2006 · 03-24-2008, 10:17 PM

I love Socom. So I prefer to play 3rd person. I love to be able to see ALL around me not just in front of me.

Blu-Style · 03-24-2008, 10:25 PM

Hm...

Ghost Recon was cool in 3rd p view, but in Warhawk it´s kind of sloppy...

Gears of War is fine again...

And MGS is AWESOME in this view...

It really depends on the gameplay and feeling.

Yea thats the feeling when walking up the stairs in Call Of Duty and not seeing that you just walked past and enemy crouching on the landing........

elmo · 03-24-2008, 11:30 PM

since call of duty its 1st person all the way

phranctoast · 03-24-2008, 11:33 PM

I kind of feel 3rd person is cheesy for the reason that some of you seem to like it. I dont like walking around a corner to get killed by someone that knew I was there because of the 3rd person view. gives an unfair advantage in cases like that.

I like 3rd person for action adventure type games, and 1st person for shooters or anything multiplayer.

I give leeway to warhawk since the game has auto aim and is not a tactical shooter in the rainbow 6 way.

you used to be able to lean in cod games. they shouldnt have gotten rid of the feature.

Only game John has played in the past 5 or 6 years is COD4...... but John still speaks in 3rd person..........

Havok83 · 03-25-2008, 12:31 AM

A mix of both. I switch it up when I play Oblivion. I travel in 3rd Person and fight in 1st

Quad · 03-25-2008, 11:11 AM

First person, more immersive.

gamer4eva · 03-25-2008, 11:43 AM

3rd Person roxxx
also like 1st person but prefer 3rd alot more

Animusmors · 03-25-2008, 12:02 PM

If it's a shooter, then i would have to say first person perspective to aim better. If it's swordplay or other melee weapon then i would say third person to see your surroundings better.

TheTenth · 03-25-2008, 02:24 PM

I suck at FPS, don't know if it's the aiming, the stress, the speed ... so I dislike "false third person" like Gears of war, GRAW, The Club, Mass effect as it's FPS with a target in the center of the screen and part of your character appears on the right or left, thus obscuring part of the screen.
Diablo, Darkstone, Gauntlet, Untold legends are true 3rd person where you have to control your aim to the best and not look all the time at your target, thus not care about what's around on screen.

Bluoholic · 03-25-2008, 02:42 PM

1st person PC games
3rd person consoles

sainraja · 03-25-2008, 04:04 PM

I prefer a third person view over first person, mainly because you see the character you are controlling. I like that.

I am not that into FPS games but I have given them a try this generation. My favorite FPS so far has been Resistance, Call of Duty 4 is okay. I prefer action/adventure games such as Uncharted, Prince of Persia, God of War and Assassins Creed.

I'm not that good online playing FPS so 3rd person.

DaMexiRican · 03-25-2008, 04:36 PM

I like both. Just depends on the gameplay. I don't think I would like COD4 as much if it was 3rd person. Socom you have the option of 3rd or first person. I can't stand playing in 1st person on Socom though.
