Third is cancer!!!!!!

Only way gaming as an art form can move forward is serious innovation in mechanics of first person pov.

First person for range combat.

Third person for melee combat.

How is it edgy to not consider video games an art form
Do you even know what edgy means or did you learn it on here

Do you consider books, films, music, or sport to be art forms????

Games are a combination of that.

GAMES ARE ART!!!!
>>
>>319862651
Games that allow both.
Third is more enjoyable for watching your character do cool shit, while first is better for immersion and ranged combat (in games that don't have lock-ons).

Third is immersion breaking. It ruins the experience.

I will admit that FPS as it stands doesn't let you see yourself very well. With the exception of Arma. This is a room for improvement no doubt. Fuckin AAA and indie devs keep dropping the ball on that one.

Well now that you mention it. Yes.

We need more in game cues as to health, stamina, carry weight, etc. Perhaps audio cues?

This just leads to poorly designed game UI. It shouldn't break any immersion to see information on the screen that wouldnt actually be seen by the character. You don't need that to feel as if you are in the game. It just requires an actual good game.

Also the majority of decent, immersive games have had a traditional user interface. Two examples I recently played: Dark Souls and Legend of Grimrock.

He got away with zero jail time, but one fuck up and he's done. I'm for pressuring him into having a meltdown so he can get his shit together in prison. He'll have no other choice.

i personally prefer first person, it makes a game much more immersive, however. some games work well in the third person, such as 3d mario.

>>319867974
Even after all that how did he still manage to fucking get out of it
I mean I know autism and all but did that card actually fucking work again

>>319867967
Darks souls is third person. Impossible to immersed in a third person game. Kill urself.

At least Grimlock is an FPS.
>>
>>319868317
In grimrock you play as four people. I'm not four people.

Its impossible to immerse yourself in a game where you play as four people.

is there any other games that are second person like super mario 64?

Autism and being white in Virginia.
