I don't know if this is just on my end, but suddenly there is an ad that keeps popping up at the top of the forum, that has never been there before. It's driving me insane because it knocks the forums down when it appears, and always ends up bringing up the wrong thread, or takes me back to the main page of the forum. Or if my mouse is in the wrong spot, it takes me to whatever the fucking ad is advertising, which flat out pisses me off. Is there any way I can get rid of this damn thing?

You mean my first time dealing with an obnoxious fanboy and their utter nonsense... No, I'm a veteran! That's not an issue with bad design, that's just just somthing you can't do with a fucking keyboard! Does the fact that you can't take the kids to school in Lewis Hamilton's F1 Mercedes mean it's a bad design? No of course not, It's a little thing called fit for purpose. I also would not use a controller for an RTS game live Total War or Command and Conquer because that is not fit for that purpose. I know you'll just simply refuse to admit because that's what all fanbus do but having full control of the direction of both the speed and direction of your character's lateral movement is important for stealth mechanics. It's not important in something like say Borderland where you run, strafe, duck and gun so for I that i prefer mouse and keyboard. At the end of the day however…. NONE of this shit really matters. I’m not going to look down on someone who prefers to play borderland with a controller saying “A mouse is more precise you know”. Nor am I going to prick at someone who is using a mouse and Keyboard to play Assassin’s Creed saying “You know you could sneak around better if you were using a thumbstick” because it’s not my business or concern. They bought their fucking game so they can enjoying using whatever the fuck they want, that’s why on both console and PC in particular we have options So it’s not an “unpopular Opinion” It’s just ri-god-damn-diculous.

Second person is something pretty much impossible to contemplate in a video game because the 2nd person is the perspective of your subject. In Call of Duty, this would be controlling the game from the view of whoever it was you were trying to shoot, or in something like Assassin's Creed, you'd be trying to control your character from the perspective of the guards. The camera angels you described in a racing game are still third person, just from a different angle. There are video games, especially racers, that have cinematic camera that take the view of how a motorrace looks on TV, for example. That is a second-person perspective, but nobody making a genuine effort to control the game accurately would actually use them. They're just for show.

I mentioned in the other thread that it makes no difference to me whether a game is in 1st or 3rd person perspective. All that matters is that the game is properly designed around whatever perspective the devs have chosen to go with. There are plenty of shooters that play just as well in 3rd person (Fortnite, Gears of War, Uncharted) as others do in 1st (Call of Duty, Titanfall, Borderlands). Likewise there are plenty of action/RPG games that are just as good with a 1st person (Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Mirror's Edge, Fallout, Elder Scrolls) perspective as others are in 3rd (Assassins Creed, Horizon Zero Dawn, Dragon Age). When the game is well designed the perspective is irrelevant.

Third person: I'm floating over someone else's shoulder awkwardly as the world spins around me, a million miles from the action. And everything around me is so small and hard to see. First person: I'm the person in the game, seeing through my own eyes, immersed in the action, and things look like they do in real life.

I had a dig around, and the only other place I can find where it's discounted is the Microsoft Store. Standard Edition Deluxe Edition So that's a decent deal right now, but who knows if the game will be cheaper that at some point between now and Christmas.

@Gamertotheend I don't think there is a single thing you said that I disagree with, and that's coming from a newly appointed mod' that's desperate to make an example out of somebody 😂.

Sorry, but who cares? Even for fans of these games what on earth do you expect to learn from leaked footage of FIFA? "OH MY GOD! It actually looks like soccer as opposed to Lacrosse or powerlifting! Get that footage on the internet! The world need to know!"
