alright im having an arguement here with a co-worker in regards to the 1st person/3rd person/real time strategy games.

basically he claims that a game like Commandos 3 is a 3rd person game.. i say its NOT. that its a real time strategy game. 3rd person to me is Max Payne, GTA, The Suffering etc.

help settle this moronic arguement and tell me im right Laughing

he's saying its 3rd person strategy .. and there's also first person adventure according to him. i agree and dont to some extent.

i mean when someone in gaming refers to a 3rd person game i think of max payne, gta etc.. and 1st person as call of duty, far cry, doom3.

to me strategy games are strategy games.. not 3rd or 1st.. right or wrong?

Well obviously you can say 3rd person when talking about strategy games. Afterall you do see it from that perspective. But when talking about genres a game like commandos is not a 3rd person game, it's a real time strategy game as you said.
The 3rd person genre consists of games like prince of persia, max payne, gta etc.

But in a way all strategy games are 3rd person games but just not in the same way as the 3rd person games we know (if that makes any sense) Smile

If were talking about genres then Commandos is a strategy game, regardles of whether it's 3rd person or not.

cba reading it..... 3rd person = a narrative so to speak. u play it through the life of something but not his eyes. first person = the eyes. because commandos u can control more than 1, just because its in a 3rd world etc. u never actually control 1 person on its own. ok u may argue ghost recon/hidden and dangerous is a 3rd person strat, in ways it is but i wouldnt call commandos a 3rd person at all. just because u can zoom in and stuff doesnt mean that its 3rd person or else games like C&C will be multiple 3rd person shooter strategy games and everything would be messed Very Happy
