I've always tended toward third person. I did the quake 2 thing for a few years, but I stopped Metroid after Super Metroid simply since Prime was FPS. It's just not the same experience. I love shooters like Rez, Super Contra III, Forgotten Realms, Panzer Dragoon Orta, all of which are third person. If I want FPS, I just play halo or Quake.
I like them both pretty much the same so I can't say that I have a preference. FPS are great because you can see the whole screen but TPS are great because it's much easier to have a "shoot from cover" element in the game.
I always liked 3rd Person alot more.. Even tho FPS are good too, as long as their not like Ghost Recon: Advance Warfare.. I Cant stand not being able to see the gun!
Both. A game like Gears woundn't be as appealing as an FPS and it just woundn't work with the cover system obviously. Halo wouldn't feel right as a TPS either.
Most of the time in TP you can 'peek' around corners or whatever without actually revealing yourself which is useful.
