Just like at a movie theater, you're not actually present in the film's setting, but you can still enjoy the film. You don't need to *BE* there to experience a good story. Very similar, but not necessarily the same thing. Here's a longer post, so feel free to read or ignore at your leisure:
I'm fine with the perspective being switchable, but therein lies the risk of being sub-par. If it's all whack I go all 'Customization 101' on it, but otherwise I let it be.īut with Mass Effect it was always in third person, and I found the gameplay better suited for it. I occasionally switch to third-person for dramatic/role-playing purposes or if I want a wider field of view, but with any game I prefer to go with the default controller/perspective settings simply for ease of use. On a more relevant note, I don't see the problem with that.Īt the risk of comparing apples to oranges, when I play 'Fallout: New Vegas' or 'Skyrim', I stick with first-person, since that's the view you start with. I know people will be against it but hey, when I get my Handsome Jack on and strangle an alien in Andromeda, I want to see up close. Battlefront has it, GTA has it, MGS5 has it and it works well.
