I prefer a fps as opposed to a true 3rd person game.Or a mix of one like fallout3 or oblivion.The experience is a little bit better than a 3rd person but maybe not on all games.RE4 was excellent on the GC and wouldn't have been the same in fps.

3rd is better.But need more time to make it perfect,I think.And first person view game could alway simple as CS...Jump and Courch...

Like Gear o' War it's quite a perfect 3rd view game.

Eatlead is a 3rd person view game that I thinkis a failture.

It depends on the style of shooter. Something like Half-Life needs to be 1st, but the Splinter Cell games MUST be 3rd.

I love them both, but I love FPS a little more.

I don't really have a prefrence. I enjoy both a lot but if it's a survival game i love first person. Doom 3 is by far one of the scariest games i've played due to the fact things sneak up on you a lot!

1st person view Looking in 3rd person just feels like cheating since you can move the camera to view round corners, and it makes me feel a bit further removed from the action.

Are you talking shooters? If there are 100 things, in order, that go into making a good shooter, this is around #87. The great shooters of ages past were great for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with whether they were first or third person. It's not a distinguishing factor. It's a non-factor to the point that some games switch between the two perspectives, or even allow you to choose your camera. It's only a nitpicker or a dilettante that loves FPS while hating TPS, or vice-versa.

Oh, and if you think "TPS" is its own separate genre, then your ability to analyze games is somewhere around non-existent.

I think it really depends on the game. In games where you are going to be taking cover a lot 3rd Person is usually the way to go. I think games like Rainbow Six Vegas do a good job of switching between FPS and TPS when it is needed.

You know, I am finding that I really like both, but it depends a lot on the type of game more than anything. I still think sidescrollers and overhead-view games are a fresh change of pace, so really I think variety is key in video games. Imagination is what is important, think big and work towards that.
