I hate 3rd person cameras on video games

[squibbles]

I like this Andru94 kid. He's funny.

I play Halo 3, which is in first person. You only ever switch to 3rd person when you're holding a turret. And dear god it's useful to know that someone's crouch-walking up to you with an energy sword.

In fact, I daresay I'd rather have a 3rd person view in Halo than a motion tracker for some situations.

Also, eight year olds have better things to do than complain about 3rd person cameras

I love how you think.

And Veichles. Halo Veichles, in first person, just wouldn't work. Imagine driving an Elephant or Scorpion in first person...

You think I'm eight, wow what did you get for maths? I think it must of been an F because the 94 at the end of andru- means 1994. Also, eight year olds have better things to do than complain about 3rd person cameras

Your birth date is part of your name huh? I didnt know that, i was just going by how you were acting.... which was like an 8 year old.

DONT BULLSHIT ME WITH THAT IVE LOVE RATCHET AND CLANK SCINCE I WAS ABOUT 11, I'M NOW 15. BY THE WAY, RATCHET AND CLANK IS A LITTLE FUSSY GUY AND A ROBOT NOT RUNNING AROUND ON STREETS PLAYING ONLINE (GTA4)

GEARS OF WAR WORKS PERFECTLY BECAUSE THE CAMERA FOLLOWS THEY GUY WITHOUT YOU HAVING TO ADJUST THE CAMERA MANUALLY.

YES, ITS IN THE WAY, THE AMONT OF TIME IVE BEN KILLED ONLINE PLAYING GTA4 BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET THE CAMERA AROUND FAST ENOUGH IS STUPID.

you might as well be yelling 'I WANT CHOCOLATE MILK!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!' if that how your gonna get your point across, and sadly, you really dont have a point to begin with.

i hate the motion tracker, i always try to play with it disabled.

Andru94 please refrain from double posting, there is an edit button if you want to add more information to your previous post. Consider this a verbal warning.

[noops]

Errrr. N?

N in first person. Oh how cool would that be?

Like mirrors edge, though not as snazzy.

And third person cameras are great. GoW pulled it off, both of them by the way, Kingdom Hearts, Splinter Ceel, Assassins creed, and a boatload of ther ones.

First-Person cameras are relatively new, in the modern sense. I know, there were games like Half-Life, but, unfortunatly, that's the only one that comes to mind. off the top of my head.

In shooters though? I somewhat agree. I'd rather bring up the sights on my gun, instead of zoom in on a reticule.

8 year olds have taxes to file and mortgages to pay. 15 year olds can take it easy and talk about gaming, because they don't have as many responsibilities.

Thank you, that what I'm trying to do, but some people want to start a fight about how old I am and something to to with milk 'n' cookies. How sad?

[Zivilyn]

How sad?

So sad.

Dude, Wolfenstein 3D released 1992. Also Maze War came out 1973.

[SkyPanda]

Speaking of tomb raider, the camera work in those games was really good. The leader in the field, I daresay.

You do realise he was being sarcastic, right?

And so... That equates to an F how? I'm sure in an exam a question would be better worded (except if it's being done by OCR (high brow joke that I only expect GTM to also understand)). That's like saying that the "Moor" in "Drathmoore" means that I live in a field. And I don't.

So sad.

I think all of us are quite happy. Are you happy everyone?

Yes.

Because I don't have to taxes to file and mortgages to pay.


Ha.

Knock it off, people. Whether you get back on topic, or just stop posting, the bickering needs to stop.

This has been a public service announcement from your friendly staff.

[Ampersand]

The following is a not-so-nice public service announcement from your non-friendly staff.

Fucking stop it, assholes. Lest I bust some hamhocks upside yo' brainz.

[Yoshimo]

hamhock

That word is going to give me nightmares.

Anyways, look at Ratchet and Clank With the swarms of enemies, you'd be dead without. Also, Deadlocked kicked ass, and it had some killer online, even with 3rd person. Broaden your horizons and try some games that are outside popular cluture, because we all know only shnobs play Halo/GTA.

[McP]

no offense, but the arguments in this thread are retarded

the game developers either make the game 1st person or 3rd person to make it funner, more accessible, or more artistically relevant. WHO CARES, GET USED TO IT.
