Kinda unrelated but I feel the same for the games who have auto-aim, that just automatically aims at the enemy when you hold down the left trigger. It kills most of the point of shooter ggames

The only reason I turn it on is when I’m playing a COD campaign on hardened or veteran difficulty on console.

Other than that, it hinders turning around because the game wants me to focus on what’s in front of me.

Obviously you could break ANY genre of video games down to basic controls, but still.

I remember playing Crab Champions, Recore, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, and Horizon Zero Dawn. With the exception of Horizon, they all feel the same to play.

> Hold the joystick down right or left
> jump to dodge attacks
> spam the right trigger or hold it down

The end.

The only 3rd person shooter I’ve played that felt completely unique was Dead Space, a horror game about using precision to cut off limbs. You can’t jump in that game and you have to conserve ammo.

The gameplay in Recore especially felt extremely monotonous. There was quite literally no skill or accuracy involved.

I just wonder how those games would have been if they were first person shooters instead, Recore and Horizon specifically… Because let’s be real, Horizon is just Far Cry Primal with robots.

Can you imagine Horizon in first person where you have to fight giant robotic tigers? Would be cooler than a near top-down view like in the actual game.

Of course, Ratchet and Clank would never work in first person because Ratchet is kind of a mascot like Sonic or Mario. You have to SEE the character. Same goes with Crab Champions (although Crab Champions in first person would be HUGE).

I saw a lot of people complain that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is first person and not third person, but I actually appreciate it. You get to BE Indiana Jones and see the action from his perspective, not from behind him.

One major 3PS game I haven’t brought up yet is Fortnite. I haven’t played it in a very long time, but Fortnite is good from a gameplay perspective because it’s slowed down and not always spam shooting.

Both FPS and 3PS have their advantages. With FPS you get a more clear view from the character’s perspective. With 3PS you can see everything happening around you.
