FPS VS TPS

[Swndlr]

curious

do fluent gamers on ltt prefer to play fps games like cod, csgo, and the works or third person shooters (gta v doesnt count, it isnt even out yet)

It really depends for me. I like both equally I guess, just depends on the type of game. Games with large amounts of driving TPS because they're easier to play with a controller I find. Otherwise FPS.

I prefer FPS but i will play stuff like GTA 

[Speedyv]

I don't like shooters...

 

I play GTA to free roam and go offroading.

I prefer FPS for multiplayer games (esp. competitive ones) and I prefer third-person for adventure-type games (esp. open world ones).

FPS only if the FoV is scalable to 100+ and there is self awareness. (Can see body and stuff). 

 

I love the M&B games but play them in 3rd person as the FoV is way too low for me D:

If it's a super cereal military patriotism simula...shooter, then TPS, if it's more arcade-ish then FPS.

Goddamn Spec Ops: The Line was such a great game.

I game on PC. What I meant to say is that I can't drive without a controller, so it's easier to aim and stuff with a controller if the game is in the third person. Otherwise if it's in first person with very little driving I use KB+M.

I played GTA IV on PC with the gamepad for driving and KB/M for anytime outside of the vehical.

That sounds like a lot of work.

Not at all. They work together on the fly flawlessly.

[Humbug]

difficult to answer. You can make a Good game from Either perspective.

I've done it and it's kind of a pain in the ass, in the end I usually just end up using one of them.

I did not think it was hard setting my X360 Gamepad beside my Keyboard and picking it up when I enter a vehical LOL.

FPS but I like TPS as well.

First person shooter and third person shooter? Always FPS. I don't see the point of having third person in shooting games, just seems like a disadvantage. However, I really like how third person GAMES turn out.

 

Shooters = FPS

Other = TPS/TPG

A third person view allows the player to get a much better sight of the situation. If the game is more focused on tactical gunplay, then the oversight you wouldn't normally get from a FPS can really improve the gameplay.

I prefer to be able to see my character model, it takes me out of games to just be two floating hands in space killing everything. Especially in horror and stealth games.

True dat!

 

But having tried some third person shooters like Tom Clancys Splinter Cell Blacklist felt quite laggy and was damn hard to aim, kind of destroyed my experience. You can see more in TPS for sure, but for "hardcore" aiming situations (for me at least) it is really bad. The FOV/motion blur usually messes it up, pair that with unfortunate lag.
