I know a lot of folks are bummed about Arc Raiders not being first-person, but I think the third-person view is what makes this game really shine. Here’s why:
-
It’s perfect for the chaotic gameplay. With all the crazy stuff going on - other players, robot enemies, wild weather, and tricky terrain - you can actually see what’s happening around you. Makes it way easier to watch your back while helping teammates or grabbing loot.
-
Moving around is more fun. Dodging, climbing, and sliding just feel better when you can see your character doing it. Plus, the game looks awesome. The animations are top-notch, especially stuff like stumbling after a big fall or struggling to reach the extract computer when you’re down.
-
Character customization matters more. In first-person games, you’re basically just a floating gun. Here, you get to see your cool outfit in action.
-
It makes the game unique. Sure, it changes how fights feel, but that’s what makes Arc Raiders different from other shooters. It’s doing its own thing, and I dig that.
What do you guys think? Am I crazy for loving the third-person view?
