Cyberpunk 2077: 10 Harsh Gameplay Truths You Need To Know
10. There’s No Third Person
Yes this news is almost a year old, but with some fans seemingly shocked by this "revelation" all over again at E3, it bears repeating.
Some players prefer first person, others prefer third. There’s no use getting into a contest about which is better; the fact remains that only having one is a guaranteed disappointment for some people out there.
It’s certainly easier to only have one viewpoint option, and some would argue first person is more immersive. Third lets you see more of the world at any given time though, offers more awareness of your surroundings and lets you actually see your character on screen. For some, this makes it easier to get into their story and narrative.
With the cyber element of the game obviously featuring heavily, first person gives you a Terminator-style detailed vision, which does admittedly seem very cool.
For a game which touts customisation as a big selling point (more on that later), this restriction is still a disappointment. Not only in that you can’t change perspective, but you'll only sporadically see the character you’ve designed.
