How come there are no second person perspective games?
90% of text adventure games are second person perspective.
Mario 64 is 2nd person.

VN's often are, aren't they? Or dating sims at least.

he's not wrong
First person narrative means writing from the "I" point of view. As in: I walked down the alley, I picked up the phone, I told Tony that he was going down if he didn't cough up the money by Saturday. I thought about it, then shook my head. I told myself I didn't care, but I picked up the paper anyway and glanced over the business column.
Third person narrative form is writing from the omniscent point of view. Here, you use the he-she form. As in: he walked down the alley, she picked up the phone, and Jason told Tony that he was going down if he didn't cough up the money. Mort thought about it, then shook his head. And Cleary told himself that he didn't care, but picked up the paper anyway.
Second-person is the least-used form in novels, mainly because it usually reads more awkwardly. Second person is the "you" point of view, the imperative (command) form, the way this web site is written. For example: "If you're looking for an agent, consider reading the info in the agent's file. Then check out the agents information and cautions on the following sites..."
What does secon person perspective actually mean?

second person
>You open the door.
third person
>He opened the door.

Some games feature short 2PP segments. They all fucking sucks for one reason. You can't see where the fuck are you going, which is frustrating. That's why there will be no 2PP gaems.

What would it take to make a good second person perspective game?
>>341966503
How the fuck would it translate to game form?
>>341967495
Since the entire idea is based around not knowing where the fuck are you going it's probably impossible.

Your actions are seen through a security camera. It switches to another one once you go past its view.
Many years ago I remember playing some boxing game on PX that let you switch perspectives. Second person was about as unplayable as you'd expect.
>>341966636
I don't recall visual novels that'd describe the player as "you" in narration, it's either "I" or "*character name*". Though you do have a point with dating sims.
amazing no one has actually posted a real second person game yet, excepting possibly >>341966593
Screencheat is one example
>>341967796
So Resident Evil 1-Cvx/Silent Hill 1-4? I hope nothing like gang because that sucks ass.
>>341966723
mostly commands. If you're into /x/ stuff, the Holder series was entirely in 2nd person.

There is untapped potential in second person games that developers refuse to explore. It would have been groundbreaking to have a new genre instead of this stagnation we have since the end of the 90s.

You could argue that Resident Evil are second person games too then. She's still seen from a third person view-point, you're just telling her what to do.Underrated gem.
Super Mario 3 and Mario 64
There was a boss that would briefly change the game into a second person perspective in Killer is Dead

Enjoy.
Asuka a shit
>>341969271
That game you posted a link to isn't second person too.
Guys, second person would be, for instance, if you controlled a character which would be seen through eyes of a person standing next to him or her. This is second person perspective.
>>341969462
it was a very very novel concept, i wish someone would revisit it
>>341969717
Fuck you.
>>341966503
a second person shooter would be kind of like you being a sergeant or lieutenant ordering NPC soldiers around via verbal command who do the shooting for you
i'd play the shit out of something like that
>>341970064
XCOM
Siren: Blood Curse
>>341970064
full spectrum warrior + voice command?
i think there's an arma mod that sort of does verbal commands for ai too

I'm pretty sure there are some co-op games where the second player pretty much always has to be in the line of sight of the main player in order to know what the fuck they're doing
That one Snow White PS2 "game".

Huh. Was Hilary Duff really that big an Evangelion fan?
>all these Mario 64s
Mario 64 is third person because the lakitu is an uninvolved party. To be second person, it either must be text like >>341966593 said, or you must view it from the perspective of the party your character is acting upon like a goomba or something.

If she was that's pretty cool. I'm watching reruns of early aughts tv shows and it's fun as fuck.
Persona 3 and 4 are second-person perspective
>>341966593
huh, so TiTS and CoC are second person perspective? Not bad.

Was she a fan or not? I read she liked Pokemon a lot. Where is Lalaine aka Miranda?
Ape Escape had a final boss where you played from your enemy's point of view
