First person. third person view is terrible imo. sure you can see character but you can also see behind your back. its immersion breaking view.
theres the reason why most third person games are terrible anyways.

max payne 1 camera angle is different than today third person games as you move camera, your character also move thus you cant see behind back. in max payne 3 when you move camera, you cant move your character and you can clearly see behind your back and thats why i hate third person games. THEY ARE IMMERSION BREAKING GAMES!!Ezekiel said:
Meh, you're both kinda right. Alot of shooters are kind of BS when it comes to looking around corners. Not many FPS give you a reasonable way to do it without being gamey, and third person shooters leave you as magic since you seem to just know where everyone is.Ezekiel said:
I wish they would make an FPS, perhaps a Rainbow Six type one, where you more realistically looked around corners and stuff.
It really depends on the game. Online mp shooter, first person. Singleplayer shooter, third. Stealth, third. RPG, both.
Third Person all the way. It not only feels less frustratingly disembodied (because the sight of the spatial position of the character compensates for the lack of other sensory feedback), it's less likely to make me physically sick, even though all kinds of 3D can do that.
Third. I like to see my character. I feel I can interact with the game with more clarity about where I am and what I'm doing. First person bothers me enough that I often don't buy games I would otherwise be interested in due to them being in first person. If Dying Light or Mirror's Edge had been third person or had a third person options, I would have bought them, but IMO platforming in first person is ass.
Like many have said in one way or another already, it depends on the type of game. It?s rare that I?ve felt any game of one type would have been better served as the other. But in the exceptional cases where the player actually gets to pick 1st or 3rd, I guess I prefer 1st? The only case I can think of are the Elder Scrolls games and the combat SUCKED when I tried the 3rd person view. Oh, and driving games, I prefer the in the car view, so 1st person there as well
Really depends on the type of shooter. More tactical ones I prefer First cause seeing around corners and over walls is some grade A bs. But shooters where such things aren't much of a factor, and/or you can dive, flip or do other kinds of crazy shit, then third person is preferred imo.
I think I prefer FPSes, I find it more immersive.
But never once have I played a FPS or TPS and wished it was the other. Though for any TPS with aiming mechanics, I did wish aiming would bring me down to a FPS style iron sights or something cause having my character block half my screen is a big ehhh.
More often than not, games are made with their perspective in mind. So most FPS/TPS would end up a bit strange when forced to become the other.
