Am I the only person who prefers TPS over FPS...

....Be it offline or competitive multiplayer I certainly enjoy Third person shooter's over the more popular FPS counterpart.

Don't get me wrong I love me some Killzone....but nah don't feel the love for the FPS genre

What about you guys?

while I too enjoy fps games, I would like to see more tps. I like games like geow,mgs4,and graw which plays in tps. and I wish a game like r6v(2) and fallout 3 had better third person camera.

No, I do. I like being able to see my character, I could care less about what the gun or their hand looks like.

TPS and FPS both have their place.

I preffer FPS especially on PC. I don't know why but playing a TPS with a mouse sucks but with a game pad it's enjoyable? I can't explain it.

I preffer FPS (with a mouse) but if I were to play TPS I would play with a gamepad.

I love FPS, i feel like i am the person instead of over looking him in TPS

Hm...I see.

Same here. It's more about the perspective than anything else. I like to see myself doing work.TheGrat1

Nicely put.

You just like staring at your arse.

I like both perspectives equally.

Gears of War makes me like Third Person more.

I used to like TPS more, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Bioshock and TF2 made me believe otherwise :oops:

TPS > FPS

I prefer third person than fps, most fps gives me nauseajohnlennon28

God I thought I was the only one. I too get some nausea and headache playing FPS.

Really? :P Interesting.

I don't have a preference. Both genres have amazing games.

i like both...both have advantages and disadvantages.

I'd take Resident Evil 4 over Halo anyday.

FPS is more immersive.

As long as its fun i dont realy care.

Depends. Games like Tomb Raider I can't imagine playing in first person.

On the other hand, there are games when I like the character to be me. It'd have to first person to complete the illusion. That's not just for shooters. I like the first person person perspective in driving games and flight/combat sims as well. Of course, those type of games also offer 3rd-person viewing as well.

depends on the game. Red Faction Guerrilla, and Gears of War work really well as TPS. COD doesn't work at all as tps, but feels great as fps. I think bioshock would of been better as tps though many of the environments were small the gameplay would go over better. I also think halo would be a good candidate for tps.

I like both types. Right now I am playing Modern Warfare 2(Only Single player again) and Uncharted 2.

I find most FPS games to be less about skill and planning and more about seeing the enemy before they see you. TPS gives you a chance to examine the environment around you and forces you to plan your attacks. The only TPS I can't stand playing is Metal Gear: Online mainly because it is terrible game.

I prefer FPSs but i also like the third person view when it have a good cover mechanic like Gears2, U2 and ME2

On consoles ya, by quite a bit, but on the PC I rather play FPS's.

I like third-person shooters way better.

Same! I remember watching my friend play Call of Duty 3 (? Not sure which one. Too many of them) on the 360 when it first came out, and I had such a headache.

D'awwww I love MGO.

You're not alone, I'm with you on that one.

I do like some TPS. I remember playing Gears of War on my PC back in 2008. I had a lot of fun with it.

It is for me as well.
