This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I get that this is a joke, but following the logic here, isn't that the exact opposite of what that would do?

My thoughts exactly

2nd Person Shooter would be more cursed.

The first closest thing that comes to mind:

Screencheat is a ridiculous competitive split-screen first-person shooter where everyone is invisible, so players are forced to look at each other’s screens to win.

I read about at least one that someone made, but I can't find the name now. You play as a blind character who can see through the eyes of the enemy NPCs and based on their view of your own character you have to try to aim for them.

Edit: found it, Second Person Shooter Zato

This popular 2019 video talks about a "second person view" car chase in Driver San Fransisco where you control the fleeing car but view the game from a first person perspective of the chasing car: https://youtu.be/mC8QoRa8y_Q

4th person shooters be like: someone shot another person at a place during a time

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Apparently "The Sims" is an example of a 4th person (not shooter) game.

So just being a school principal in the US.

ohhh because the player is behind the fourth wall, as opposed to following a character's back that still allows for immersion

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah basically. You aren't directly controlling the characters - setting tasks and stuff, but they act semi-independently.
