So, like many of you, for the longest time since its announcement, CP2077 was my imaginary dream game. Over the years, I even dug out numerous sourcebooks, and read through as many as I could, so I could become a real fan and well prepared when I actually play the game.
But, also like many of you, what I didn't prepare for was the feature that sat atop the list of juicy info as more information about the game was unveiled: 1st person only. Except when driving.
Fuck.
Having grown up on consoles, JRPGs, platformers, Sony, Nintendo, and Sega, Gaming for me has always been watching your avatar do things on screen. The camera to me has always been the frame, not my head. I was never into first person games, shooters or otherwise.They were not widespread in my formative years, so I ignored them even as they entered my gaming space in the PS3 gen and beyond. I've played a handful of them, but rarely to completion nor ever comfortably.
But I'm not here to add more fuel to that conversation. I have, with bitterness and resentment in my heart, accepted the game's fate to the extent I can continue on living normally. That's right. I'm already invested in this universe, and I will play the game damn it! FUCK YOU CDPR I'M GONNA ENJOY YOUR DAMN GAME. I refuse to be let down. >: ( What I'm here to discuss and request are games that would prep me well for CDPR's next epic.
I know a few of these through conversation, and even a rare couple I enjoyed. new Deus Ex, new Doom, and a couple modern walking simulators like Firewatch, Ethan Carter, and Gone Home.
So what games would you all recommend that could sell me on 1st person gaming? Games that do 1st person right, feel good and weighty (the floaty feeling and lack of body awareness is one of my biggest qualms), are story rich shooters, or RPGs? Any or a combination of the above would certainly help, retro or modern. 1st person games for people who do not like 1st person. Do not name Bethesda RPGs, I have played through them in 3rd person and I have no interest in playing them again.
(Also if CDPR you're reading this please implement a 3rd person camera if it's not too late, too hard, or too expensive ;_;)
