Do You Prefer Third Or First person Cameras?

[Ivlr.Club]

First Person is the best. 3rd allows too much wall looking and corner peeking without consequences.

I hadn't thought about it but I tend to prefer third person, though somewhat close in. For me, it gives a wider view range of what's in front of me which is helpful since I wear bifocals. And I honestly don't mind seeing the back of my character's head.

Only exception is Minecraft, where I stick to first person.

P.S. I am not a game developer, but it's my understanding of how modern 3D games are written, it's trivial to allow both perspectives with a simple toggle switch.

First person, without exception, even when the third person conveys an advantage like seeing something approach from behind. All RPGs and FPSs I need to be in the character, and racing games too. My brain just can't wrap itself around seeing the world a little bit behind my head.
