Message: [QUOTE="miguk, post: 105512, member: 1510"] Both can work depending on the game, but third person is the better of the two. The ability to see every action your character does feels more immersive, as apposed to just seeing their hands and everything directly in front of them. In real life, I'm not just looking forward and only looking elsewhere at key story moments; I'm constantly looking around me and even at me. That can be simulated better if I can do that movement with my own eyes and not a clunkier, less natural analog stick movement. Likewise, a lot of aspects of the character are lost when you can't see them. Clothing/armor changes aren't as great if you can't see what you are wearing, vehicles don't look as cool when you can't see the exterior while you drive, and the nuances of movement are lost. That said, if the game has you playing as a generic semi-auto carrying muscle-on-muscle marine type character, go ahead and put it in first person. I don't need to look at his mass manufactured ugly ass while I'm playing. [/QUOTE]
