It has nothing to do with the quality of the cutscene or the relevance thereof, but you are switching from "I am in control" to "the game is in control". The downside of that is that cutscenes don't mesh well, since the shift in perspective can break that immersion. Immersion works well with first-person, since you can literally see the events from your character's eyes, whether you've made your character an avatar of *you* or someone else. If it were in first-person, it could really throw the player through a loop, wondering if some hidden teleporter is at work or worse, a bad glitch. The benefit of that is that the audience (or in this case, the player) can be shown events that are elsewhere from what is currently seen as in, Shepard stops the Cerberus coup on the Citadel, and then we cut to Kai Leng reporting to the Illusive Man.īecause the perspective is in third-person, it's not jarring, because we're seeing it in third-person. Third-person is like that, you're witness to all the events, but not *INSIDE* the events. Going with that, movies are not "immersive", but are a great medium for "story-telling". Just like at a movie theater, you're not actually present in the film's setting, but you can still enjoy the film. You don't need to *BE* there to experience a good story. Very similar, but not necessarily the same thing. Here's a longer post, so feel free to read or ignore at your leisure: I'm fine with the perspective being switchable, but therein lies the risk of being sub-par. If it's all whack I go all "Customization 101" on it, but otherwise I let it be.īut with Mass Effect it was always in third person, and I found the gameplay better suited for it.
I occasionally switch to third-person for dramatic/role-playing purposes or if I want a wider field of view, but with any game I prefer to go with the default controller/perspective settings simply for ease of use. On a more relevant note, I don't see the problem with that.Īt the risk of comparing apples to oranges, when I play "Fallout: New Vegas" or "Skyrim", I stick with first-person, since that's the view you start with. I know people will be against it but hey, when I get my Handsome Jack on and strangle an alien in Andromeda, I want to see up close. Battlefront has it, GTA has it, MGS5 has it and it works well.
