What's to hate? I don't care for RTS games but "hate" is a strong word???

I was assuming she hated them because they made her feel sick? Not like, I hate them because they're terrible

Well, okay, I guess, but...

I don't think they are terrible. Obviously Bioshock is a critically acclaimed game. But I hate first person playing.

I hate first person. HATTTEEEE it. I can deal with the over the should RE4 style but not L4D or FPS first person. I need to be able to see my whole character. It may be a holdover of Legend of Zelda and WoW, but I just can't stand playing them.

I am trying to get vaguely used to them so I can play Bioshock, but it is not going well.

Start with Portal. That's my usual go-to recommendation.

Tried it (own it), played like 3 levels, hated it.

IDK what to tell you then. Maybe play one of the last two Elder Scrolls games or the new Fallout games, those let you switch perspectives?

I mean it's not that big a deal, I just find it a bit of a puzzlement that you feel so strongly about it.

It's...just a game style I don't like? Is there not a type of game style or genre you hate??

No? I mean I don't play most fighters, racers or RTS games but I don't feel strongly enough to adamantly hate an entire genre. I just don't care for them and even still I find exceptions. (Wipeout series is one of my favorite games of all time -- it's also the only racer I give a shit about.)

If it helps, I HATE third POV. HATE IT. Can't stand it. It's a rare game where I will try to ignore it. I find it frustrating to the max and I rarely want to see my character.

What do you hate about it other than seeing your character?

I can't stand not being able to see my surroundings in first person. And I find it hard controlling the character. I always end up spinning and making myself nauseous! It's like, *tries to turn towards bad guy in fight* *turns 540 degrees*.

If I don't have to do any fast turns or such, I can sort of navigate. When I was playing Bioshock, I did okay until I had to start using a ranged weapon to survive. Then I am just wasting bullets swinging around and shooting everything but the bad guys. I wonder if that is why Stormtroopers are such bad shots!

Edited 2016-03-20 03:16 (UTC)

I really struggle with the controls and moving in the directions I want, whether it be the kind of camera that follows around and always positions itself (eventually) behind you (LOOKING AT YOU, DRAGON AGE) or the ones where the camera is fixed in one angled position (I love you Flame in the Flood but WHY DO YOU SWITCH BETWEEN THESE TWO)

So if there's like a dude I'll try to move towards him to kill him but I didn't realise my character was facing left a little so I run into a wall. Or off a cliff. Or around in circles. Then probably into the wall again. Drives me nuts!

Were the first games you played first person? Mine were all third person Nintendo games, so I think that is what my brain got attuned to.

So were mine, but I can play most anything pretty handily regardless of perspective. YMMV! vOv

It's okay not to like FPS games! Daethtoll's just stanning because he's obsessed with Doom like the twisted manchild he is. Just ignore him, he's a big fat idiot. Though it is funny how you got him to throw a tantrum.

Probably. I mean technically the first games were like frogger and Age of Empires lol but after that Duke Nukem and Doom are my earliest "real games" so what I am used to!

I don't mind it so much in say pokemon, but any fancier than that or a moving camera = ANNOYED
