>cdpr is ruining cyberpunk 2077 by making it fps only with occasional third person scenes >paradox is ruining Bloodlines 2 by making it fps only with occasional third person scenes >both games have full character creators and customization for some bizarre reason
It's amazing Todd Howard is the only Western dev who realized you can make a game have both first person and third person cameras, and realized you don't need forced first person for "muh immersion" or shitty ass melee combat for "muh story". Fuck cdpr and paradox for forcing this meme idea that fps is more immersive or that an action rpg needs to have shit and unfun gameplay to have a good story.
Third person is literal garbage in any game with both first/third-person capability. I only ever use third to see how my character looks like, which will probably be replaced by a render of your character in the inventory screen.
There hasn't been a good third person RPG since Gothic 2
Aaron Taylor
Wrong, it works great in skyrim, and with combat mods skyrim plays great. Eat shit fps nerd. You probably unironically love cod games too.
Brandon Jones
Bethesda's third person is awful
Daniel Myers
>bait But seriously though I wonder the same thing. Why put characters customisation if you barely see your character? Now you can even justified play as girl for the ass because you can't look at it
Lucas Walker
Third person in Todd games is purely to look at your character's ass
Melee in first person is also garbage so there's that
Camden Ward
No it isn't. Skyrim in third person plays just fine.
They do this because they're too lazy to make passable animations, its easier to just have some lazy disembodied arm and leg moving than actually have to animate the entire body and make it look right.
Adrian Ward
Rich Evans sounds like a loser. He's also fat. I get that he's ugly as shit and seeing attractive game characters triggers him, but its not our fault.
Luke Stewart
That is not the argument and we're not talking about 3rd person shooter. Its an RPG that have option for melee combat
Elijah Lee
The only people I ever heard of arguing against first person are consolefags.
Jackson Phillips
cutscenes of the girl character cutie i made getting fucked. THATS WHY
Xavier Young
>all third person games are third person shooters
holy shit this guy is retarded as hell
Michael Ramirez
>Skyrim in third person plays just fine.
Yeah, making the combat feel even more floaty does wonders
Jeremiah James
I hate third person but this guy is extreme reddit cringe.
Hudson Allen
>muh pc master race
Explain all the "consolefags" playing first person shooters then?
John Sanders
I played FPS games mainly on PC but even I admit that melee combat in first person is retarded, all you see is your arms flailing around like a retard
William Evans
>Skyrim Bethesdrones are the niggers of WRPGs
Logan Brooks
Condemned Criminal Origins, Dead Island, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and Chivalry all do melee exceptionally. You just haven't played enough games.
Austin Anderson
Too bad third person japanese action games does it better than these do
Jeremiah Wilson
How the fuck do people think bethesda games are anything but garbage. It's literally minecraft combat.
Easton Cox
dmc, ninja gaiden, bayonetta, and sekiro shit on all these
Oliver Gutierrez
Todd Howard realized you could make a game with shitty ass everything and make a profit.
James Stewart
I played Dark Messiah, Kingdome Come and Chilvary, the combat is retarded. Because its in first person, your movements are limited, the characters have to maintain a straight posture while swinging your weapon. Compare that to Dark Souls where you can dodge roll, side steps, jump attack etc, it adds more to the combat
Carter Sanders
todd howard doesnt make rpgs so no one cares
Ethan Fisher
Starfield is literally gonna revolutionize the gaming world the same way Skyrim did.
Carter Evans
Shadow Warrior and Mountain Blade are p fun.
Aaron Thomas
What did Skyrim revolutionize?
Luke Cooper
>why have a face if I can see it only in a mirror fuck you and your doll house play
Easton Cox
This is the worst opinion I've read today. Standing up and facing your opponent is square but rolling on the ground in full armour and jumping around like a retard is. kys
Ryan Campbell
video games
Daniel Johnson
Have you ever tried using a bow in third person? You'll needlessly make things harder for yourself.
Ryan Foster
How?
Nathan Green
it sold RPG to mainstream I honestly think tw3 wouldn't be as big if not for skyrim breaking the ice.
Jace Perry
look like you need to git gud
Easton Torres
What kind of mental gymnastics is this?
Gavin Gomez
Skyrim was Bullshit. Nobody should worry about the camera, in the end what matters is the content of the game, and if it is not as limited as for the normies as it was the Skyrim.
the only reason people want to play in third person is doll dressup game, it's 5yo complex
Thomas Howard
GTAV first person is awful as far as first person goes. And it and RDR2 are pretty much the only game with both
Nathaniel Cooper
This.
Skyrim was a fail.
Ryder Sanders
Same deal with Deus Ex 1, but you probably worship that game like the cocksucking cherrypicker you are.
Jonathan Watson
it was 6m sold popular, it's 30m sold GTA tier popular now.
Logan Gutierrez
This is a half truth. Skyrim is looked at as the basic template for all of these open world games that are all the rage right now, even though the model was really ironed out with Morrowind.
Gabriel Green
by trying to make big sprawling open world games. look at far cry 3, breath of the wild, etc.
Adrian Morgan
3rd person makes sense in games where the positioning of enemies in close range is relevant outside of that one case first person is the immersive, natural option for anybody who plays on a PC primarily
Eli Lee
I got your point if the dev trying to go for "realism" but that doesn't apply when your a a cop with cybernetics enhancement or a Vampire
Nathaniel Barnes
GTA did that.
Noah Bell
I think Skyrim sold more, due to the fact that it was sold not only on PC and xbox but also on PS3, in order notoriously the public, perhaps forgetting to have taken into account more than having had that same possibility.
Angel Ross
>defending pointless character customization systems in fps games
Bentley Cook
I find playing my vampire character in third person and seeing them do cool shit in combat that doesn't play like ass is more immersive than playing as a floating arm and a gun/knife
Jayden Garcia
So it revolutionized Bethesda's bank account?
>Demon's Souls revolutionized gaming by creating a persistent multiplayer coop and countercoop system that was also integrated within the game's worldbuilding
What did Skyrim do that compares to that?
Charles Cox
negatory
Aiden Sanchez
it's thee to appeal to "roleplay" retards, I skip customization even in Bioware games, it's all waste of time not reflecting my character at all
Owen Roberts
World of Warcraft came out 7 years before Skryim, dude.
William White
creating social phenomena is a revolution, you know skyrim is diluted morrowind, sure
Michael Peterson
>skyrim invented memes
John Foster
everquest was bigger.
Eli Bennett
You do realize you're playing a video game where you choose and customize your characters right? and video games =\= real world
Anthony Rodriguez
yep
Landon Nguyen
world of warcraft was also a revolutionary game? what's your point, retard
Eli Sullivan
You can changed Denton looks in Deus Ex?
Alexander Torres
>Morrowind was a error. >Complex games are a cancer.
>3rd person makes sense in games where the positioning of enemies in close range is relevant So... a game that have melee combat? like what OP just said?
Josiah Perez
It means that skyrim wasn't a revolutionary game. It wasn't even really an iterative game since it removed major features from previous games and replaced them with nothing.
Jason Brown
you realize people are projecting their real life, their complexes and can't achieve true escapism no matter what, that would be clinically diagnosed if they could
Daniel Gutierrez
It was very successful and was what turned everything into an open world game.
Jason Baker
VTMB2 has bigger problems.
Henry Bailey
actually AC1 did that. then there was Outcast way back then, it's weird everyone forgot about that one
Brayden Hernandez
AC1 was not as successful as Skyrim and not nearly as open.
Ian Sanchez
>and not nearly as open oh it was open, it simply was empty took ubi 10 years to add content.
it was 4 large levels, not a single cohesive open world
Jaxson Hernandez
of course, there is no human without a complex or with perfect control of their psyche it's about having an inner voice, my guess, I honestly do not like third person, I like to experience the world as closely as possible it's subconscious self insert either way, so why not embrace it all the way?
Jason Roberts
>he wants to play another 3rd person cdpr game >he thinks a game needs to be 3rd person to an rpg fucking imagine being this much of a shit taste zoomer
Wyatt Gomez
and skyrim is 600 little levels by this logic. that's just being too technical.
Jacob Morgan
look nigga if you really think assassin's creed was as revolutionary and successful as skyrim that's on you big dog
Jason Kelly
considering it sold for 15 years and made ubi billions, yeah it is as big as skyrim
Kevin Stewart
I only played dmc, but it was bad. The combat system looks like it was taken straight from anime, with characters levitating in the air for a fucking minute,
Asher Moore
How to make a good action rpg
>third person >take some cues from japanese action games such as movement and fluid actions >add some rpg shit like status effects and spells and stuff
Bingo bango, there ya go.
Jack Price
>I only played dmc, but it was bad.
You never played dmc, quit lying. or did you mean DmC, because there is a difference. Also airborne shit fits Bloodlines 2, since vampires can defy physics anyway.
Jaxson Miller
>or did you mean DmC I tried Devil May Cry 4 and DmC. Both felt like I was stuck in shitty anime.
Sebastian Walker
Third person is cancer. Only reason to use it in fo is for the dot sight instead of the retarded ass actual. Eat shit Todd.
>How to make a good action rpg western developers can't do this, which is why they should stick to first person games. you'd know this if you weren't a literal retard. the only devs who can make good 3rd person action are japanese >inb4 someone calls me a weeb yes i am and i'm still right. name ONE (1) good 3rd person melee action game froma western developer than even comes close to a japanese game. western devs excel at first person and should stick to that, pic related being one of many example
They need to try. Study what the Japanese have done, and emulate that. Its better than churning out souless fps games again and again. They already killed cyberpunk 2077 and vampire bloodlines 2 now.
Benjamin Wilson
Gow started this bullshit. It started the console port to pc. It started the idea of making pc a shit tier platform. Fuuuuuuck 3rd person anyfuckingthing
Carter Perez
>>cdpr is ruining cyberpunk 2077 by making it fps only with occasional third person scenes Imagine being so autistic that you care about this.
Carter Bailey
Imagine thinking third person is good.
Robert Morris
>Bloodlines 2, a squeal to a classic game with full character creators and customization, has full character creators and customization.
Todd Howard has done more to utterly fuck up role playing games than any other developer on the fucking planet. His entire design philosophy can be summed up as "You know what role playing games have too much of? Role playing."
Adam White
for real, tps sucks ass
Ethan Richardson
CASINOS!
Leo Kelly
they've been trying for years now, and all that ever happens is that they release a mediocre game that can't compete with their competition. they should stick to what they know best or we'll end up with more games with dogshit combat like the witcher or batman games youtu.be/vg0dxpBp85A?t=255
Wrong, the real truth is the camera that the game was initially designed around is the camera that will often feel way better.
Elderscrolls/Fallout feel better in first person Gta/Pubg feel better in 3rd, etc.
Isaiah Roberts
Chivalry does have 3rd person though?
Connor Morales
Not just shitty ass extra shitty ass. Fo76 did the bat some justice with its realistic knockdown mechanic but you can’t use it in 3rd person... whatever’s.
Christopher Gonzalez
They're not emulating the Japanese though, they're emulating shit like assassin creed and god of war. Someone needs to sit these devs down, and force them to watch gameplay footage of japanese action games and play the games as well to better understand them. THEN they can try to do a western spin, after they actually get the base shit right. That, or let them do the game then have Japanese oversee it to fix it, like Itsuno did with DmC definitive edition. That game sucked ass but played better than any other western action game due to japanese intervention.
Isaac Wilson
In other words you suck at third person games, gotcha.
Hudson Reed
Skyrim and Fallout 4 should be all the proof you need that Julian LaFey was the true genius at Bethesda.
Charles Morgan
Spent my allowance on jap games when I bought xenoblade. I’m done.
Landon Kelly
Why you need your paper doll everywhere you go? Even at the expense of immersion and accurate aiming?
Jonathan Gutierrez
Pure combat is not the point of RPGs. With that logic, you can say those games are shit because their platforming is not good.
Aaron Robinson
Im actually really glad that 2077 is first person. Deus Ex and System Shock 2 made me realize how good first person scifi RPGs are
Brody Gutierrez
>It's amazing Todd Howard is the only Western dev who realized you can make a game have both first person and third person cameras The animations and combat in Bethesda games suck ass, though.
Jayden Hill
Bendy plate armor. Still do the same thing in fo76
Noah Powell
Do you fucking retards realize that there is more to the third person perspective than combat? How about....oh say......STEALTH. Like as in, THE ENTIRE GENRE OF ALL STEALTH GAMES ARE ALL THIRD PERSON.
Did you people actually play Vampire the Masquerade?
Kayden Hill
>Like as in, THE ENTIRE GENRE OF ALL STEALTH GAMES ARE ALL THIRD PERSON. This has to be b8.
Joshua Walker
VtMB had perfectly acceptable stealth.
Christian Campbell
> I have to see myself to know if I’m in a shadow. That’s enough mark.
Oliver Moore
Thief and Agony are both first person stealth games.
Zoomers. Children. Stealth games will always be third person. Do you think that Thief came before anything that paved the way first?
Cameron Flores
I CAN'T WAIT TO SNEAK AROUND AS A VAMPIRE USING FUCKING FARCRY MECHANICS, LMAO AT THE FUCKING PEOPLE ITT DEFENDING THAT SHIT
Aaron Walker
Smells like butthurt alright.
Nathan James
Not the first but certainly the most important and influential of the first wave of stealth games, also zoomers weren't even born yet when this game came out...
Jason Lopez
By your logic witcher 3 can't be immersive then unless you mod it to be an fps. Guess all that story and atmosphere and sounds and music were wasted on third person huh
Dylan Ramirez
Every Bethesda game had a garbage third-person view.
Michael Harris
Cope harder
Nathan James
Metal Gear is my favorite series of all time. I wouldnt play thief expecting metal gear gameplay. First person is a perfectly valid format for video games. Get over it
Dominic Ortiz
>combat which consists 80% of the gameplay is not the point Oh I guess it's the "story?
Caleb Rivera
I dont know if they can fly fly, but I'm pretty sure they are very agile, way more than a human. Air combos aren't exactly impossible, just not to the extent of something like dmc or bayonetta obviously.
the original game already let you launch enemies and hit them as they fall, as shown in that video
Nicholas Thomas
Sorry that you think aesthetics are more important than quality gameplay.
William Martinez
actually, Metal Gears, Metal Gear Solid and Tenchu all came out first.
> First person is a perfectly valid format for video games Sure it is. Does you see me railing against FPS games in general? No. Just the shitty Farcry stealth-heavy ones. And I'm not even asking for much, just the same concept at Bloodlines 1 and Deus Ex Human Revolution - FPS when in gun combat and third person when sneaking. But that's way too much to ask for the faggots like yourself.
>Waaahh who needs third person!! Dude you all would play the fuck out of a new third person Tenchu game, just stfu.
Carter Morales
I want both aesthetic and quality gameplay. Sadly DMC have neither.
Samuel Nguyen
You have shit taste. What a westaboo.
Brayden Jenkins
I have shit taste because I don't like bad games? Okay then.
Matthew Gonzalez
Have you ever heard 'bout a game named "Thief" you fuckin moron ?
Brody Perry
Yes user, you think good games are bad, that's the definition of having a shit taste
Alexander Cruz
DMC isn't a bad game though, unless you mean the reboot.
Adrian Torres
>my allowance zoomer detected
Ryder Turner
It does though, but your insistence on realism (which objectively makes gameplay worse) keeps you unable to appreciate it. Unfortunately you're just a narrow-minded plebeian who uses videogames as nothing more than escapism, so you'll never truly appreciate quality game design unless it's in an RPG with laughably shallow combat.
Noah Turner
>which objectively makes gameplay worse It makes the game believable and more pleasing to watch. DMC, where characters levitate and swing their weapons really-really fast looks just silly.
Blake Morales
You are a good man.
Robert Richardson
But the best stealth game of all time was First Person.
Owen Martin
Agony might be a Zoomer game but theef sure as shit isn't
Talking to people is a pretty big part of V:TM in fact I'd probably say its the most important part in most WoD games I've played. Also considering part of the appeal of Vamp is the power fantasy of existing in the modern world but with magical powers that let you jump around and do whatever you want, the first person perspective is aiding in that.
Ryder Diaz
That's been the trend since fucking gta 3.
Jayden Brooks
I prefer third person cause at least I can fucking see what's around me Fuck CoDbabby niggers ruining everything
Sebastian Ortiz
>CoD invented first person perspective what did you literally mean by this
Samuel Long
reminder ll the tpfags in this thread are a single samefag with terminal autism
Julian Miller
>first person is bad yikes
Oliver Anderson
Dark Messiah does it pretty well. But I agree with you 90%, third person melee allows you way more movement and attack options
Easton Roberts
I love that Cyberpunk is FPS only, it makes all the console children whine like little babies.
