And everything around me is so small and hard to see. First person: I'm the person in the game, seeing through my own eyes, immersed in the action, and things look like they do in real life. Some third-person games do make a point of making the "camera" be the player character, not their focus. Such as in Super Mario 64, you're playing as Mario but it's the Lakitu's eyes (or rather camera lens) you're looking through. In some Warhammer 40,000 games, Servo Skulls play a similar role. 🤣 I disagree with your conclusions, but I get the general premise of what you're saying, I just can't put into words what I think myself.

Head_Hunter Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Third person game (TP) is a popular one with first person's game ( FP) I'm still anticipating more of second person game. Being in a third person position will put you in a foresight of aiming well, but second person position would've been the best to aim better against your opponents in shooting challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to look up the games you mentioned to check out their POVs! Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor1911 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 15 hours ago, killamch89 said: I kind of disagree - It depends on the game itself. In some games, FP makes is more useful and in some games, third person is more useful. FP certainly suits fast-paced games like Call Of Duty and Battlefield among other FPS. Adventure games typically tend to be third person. Yeah, but why not we are given the option to chose the mode ourselves. There are some games, namely PUBG where you can change the game mode from FPS to Third person and vice versa in the middle of the game. The player can easily choose according to their convenience.

It also helps with aiming in certain instances. Exactly - it's actually one of the main reasons why I prefer shooting games made in first person shooter mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
