Which type of shooter do you prefer and why? I think both have their merits, but I personally prefer third. Lets you see more of your surroundings and opens up game play options.
First, for it being leagues more immersive. If there's going to be any kind of platforming, third, for reasons Yahtzee has already harped on.DaveyJones99208 said:Which type of shooter do you prefer and why?

Yeah, I'm really loving that in Deus Ex Human Revolution, the game being in first person, but going into 3rd any time you go into cover.Spencer Brelje said:My favorite is when you can see aspects from both accounts put into play. R6:Vegas is a good way to look at that, get on walls, and you go third person, being able to do what people in real life already can, look around corners stealthily without getting your brain blown to bits, unlike Halo, fully 1st person where you pop around the corner and you're already and dead, and Gears where you can sit behind the cover watching the enemy rush toward you and knowing they have no idea you're there because the screen sees more then it should allow.
I agree with you there. First person puts you more in the mind set of you're the hero doing all the cool shit on screen.Zeekar said:First, for it being leagues more immersive.

I couldn't do without either, so my favorite is only my favorite by a slim margin.
Agreed...Ever played Gears for Xbox 360 or PC? People will sit behind the cover, and you'd never know they were there, because they are completely invisible to you until your in range of their shotgun and are blown to pieces.RGman said:I never got used to FPS's, as much as I tried. I couldn't even bring myself to finish HalfLife.
Sometimes I get the feeling that using 3rd person view is like cheating (especially in stealth games), but I just have more fun that way.
I think first person may be an aquired taste. The first time I tried it, it was disorienting and felt like tunnel vision. Getting shot randomly from some direction I couldn't see in shook me up too. I'm amazed that I didn't quit immediately.DustyDrB said:I just feel so limited in that viewpoint in games because you lack the sensory feedback that provides your non-visual spatial awareness in life.
