Why KotK as FPS would be better

KotK Discussion

Hi infected people.. I'm not here to whine, or to start an endless discussion or anything. I'm just curios to why people like KotK better in 3rd person..

There's only one reason where I see 3rd person is better than 1st person, that is the driving experience. This could easily be fixed by instead of having the driving view from the front seat; the view when driving could be from the front of the car.

Now that's the ONLY bad thing about the fps KotK (to me anyway). The benefits could be that you couldn't actually look around corners without being in danger; that said I know it's for everyone to benefit from, but think about it. It's never, and I mean NEVER the best choice to rush somebody, that's in a hidden spot.

Another thing they could add to the game, is sneak kills. If say you have a knife and snuck up on somebody from behind, you could be able make an assasin kind of kill. However, this is impossible in third person; sure you could add it to the game, but it doesn't really make sense when you can easily look around your self.

Now what do you think about this? You agree / disagree or are somewhere in between? Please don't hesitate to answer and let the discussion going. The why's are the most interesting in all this, as there could be many more both good and bad reason for why FP KotK is better or worse.

sneak kills ? maybe on someone playing loud music or no sound at all. footsteps anyone ?

There was a FPS only mode, it was very unpopular... battles are more fun when u can see each other from your points of cover and trade shots over time.

My honest opinion to why people believe 3rd person is better than 1st person, is because they're used to it by now. People usually don't like change. That's just me I guess..

However it doesn't seem like a legit reason "It's just better", without any why's too it.. It's not like the game is bad in 3rd person, I just think it would be better in 1st person..

You cant adjust first person fov, the iron sights suck, the recoil seems odd in first person, and in 3rd person you can see way more. Thats why people dont like it.

With something like this they should offer choice, have a FP only mode and a regular mode. But that's not Daybreak's style. See they have their vision of how we should all play, and if we don't play exactly the way they want us to our opinions are invalid.

They already did once, but people didn't want it so they removed it. I'm just curios to why people didn't want it (other than the bad driving experience, which Daybreak could easily make better).

Well as a compromise perhaps they could have first person EXCEPT while driving.

I thought of that as well, but people would say that someone would just sit in the car, just to have the 3rd person.

Don't get me wrong; I totally agree with you. To make it fair though, they could have a first person car view; where you see it from the front of the car instead of the drivers seat.. :-)

H1Z1 is the first game I ever played where I prefer 3rd person to 1st person, but I'm all about options so I hope you get what you want too.
