This Is Why You Should Play In First Person View - RDR2

Awesome first person feature used by few players

[MOONSUNLife]

I love that Rockstar made it possible for us to easily switch between third-person and first-person POV, and while I'm more of a third-person kind of player, I agree that the aim-down-the-sight feature makes a huge difference in first person.

I play 1st person on foot, 3rd person on horse/vehicle. Having this automated in settings is perfect.

I beat the game once started a new play through a couple days ago and just last night realized you can do this 🫠 gonna try to do an entire first person play thorough. The movement is a little wonky tho, especially on the horse you lose his head and youre doing circles or crashing for sure

And I paired this with no minimap and now its real life 💀

I’ve been playing rdo like this for a little while and it completely changed the game for me. The game feels so much more immersive and pvp feels much faster and more intense. I highly recommend people to play exclusively in first person if you’re looking for a new way to play red dead.

I just finished Metro series, and i fall in love with immersive first person games, so RDR 2 is like heaven

[swft]

It's incredible apart from the FOV is still far too low even on the highest setting

The only reason I don't play in 1st person is because it defeats the purpose of all the clothes you can craft at the Trappers and all the clothing you buy in the stores if you can't see them. If I played in 1st person then I'd never change clothes unless it was required by the story or due to the weather. Then it defeats the purpose of hunting the legendary animals as well because they serve no purpose other than the outfits.

I was doing a fp no aimbot/white dot playthrough and its actually better in hand to hand combat and shooting them third person

For immersion I'd recommend turn off the ammo counter.
It used to annoy the hell out of me how blatantly the game would magically reload my guns. But with the ammo counter turned off it's far less noticeable, plus you can always see your ammo in the weapon wheel.
Plus that it's more engaging to count your shots.

Though now I've been running the game with a mod that makes it so that I always have to reload manually.

When I saw this film's icon for the first time I thought it was battlefield 💀

[clarkkent]

The feature of shaving and cutting Arthur/John's beard/hair would also be useless as well because you'd never see your character's face. First person looks cool and adds realism but it also makes several parts of the game null and void.

[lysyglobox]

Only problem with playing in first-person is such you cant see Arthur

[aeromiddFilms]

Pretty sure you can just turn off the crosshair dot anyway.

[sofaking]

only reason i dont play this in 1st person aside from the shaky horse camera is movement and camera are intertwined so we cant really move the way you typically would in a normal fps

[MoonsaultMadLad]

I find it jarring to ride the horse in 1st person, but shooting in first person is chef's kiss

[sleepyaxltl]

I always play in first person mode(execpt hen im on the horse)

[صالحعبدالونيسالطرابلي]

It looks like 1st person world war 1&2 games

[creepquest]

I just hate how rockstar made awful fov and disables sight aiming when riding

[TheKarīMisc]

But third person is more realistic. The gun belts, holding the rifle in your hands. I really like FP but it lacks a bit of whole realism.
