Your Ideal Licensed Game

Third person unrealistically allows you to see around corners (among other things) that two eyes can’t see in real life.

Now that doesn’t mean that third person should never be included, but it’s an argument against it being in every game.

That’s a good point. In every third person shooter I can recall I end up using the perspective to look around corners, while feeling vaguely like a cheater.

It helps if you don’t think of it as cheating, but as a “peek” function. You know, like hugging the wall and peeking around the corner? Just pretend that the devs really meant for that functionality to exist, but that they didn’t have time to add it (or the animation). :)

Mark of Kri does just that, I believe.

But there’s no chance whatsoever that the AI can see me. At all. Whereas I have a perfect view of them.

but the AI is shitass stupid anyways, plus it always cheats in other ways…
