Is ARC Raiders worth it if you generally dislike third-person shooters? (feddit.org)

I don't know what it is exactly, but I hate modern over-the-shoulder third-person shooters. I was super hyped for Remnant 2 and tried it regardless of my dislike for the "genre". I bought it, played it 50 minutes and never thought about the game again.

Now I'm really hyped about ARC Raiders. It looks so good on stream. I'm a daily player of Embark's other game The Finals. But damn, do I not want to regret to buy this game.

How is the game for you? Did you dislike third-person shooters as well and were able to like ARC Raiders regardless?

take my input with a grain of salt, but I looked at 1 video for about 10 seconds, and saw console first - PC second style game. the camera will always bug me and I won't play them myself regardless of how fun it might look.

for me, games like witcher 3, hell divers, arc raiders.. all the same. I don't mind 3rd person. perspective personally but there's a certain type of game where I just can't.

I'm sure they are all fun, but mechanics of the character movement/camera etc... I always feel annoyed when playing so I just don't.

I like that you're basing your opinion on 10 seconds of video. How?

It's seems very PC first. The best way to see this isn't the camera (TPP isn't better for either than FPP), it's the interface. I'm sure it works on console fine enough, but PC is definitely a first party.

The phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" exists for a reason. You seem to have totally ignored this and still decided you have enough information to voice your opinion. Play the game and then you can have an opinion on how it plays. I don't see how you can without playing, and especially not with so little watched. It's better to say nothing when you have so little information.
