    3rd Person Option

    Hey Ubisoft, I really enjoy playing Far Cry Primal and I am a loyal fan to this IP. I was amazed and delighted to find HUD options for almost every individual item. If you've gone that far in terms of visual options, why not add an option to toggle a 3rd person camera. First person is good but can make most of us nauseous at times. How great would it be to see Takkar in his Wenja tribal paint, riding the sabre tooth or bear in a 3rd person perspective with the HUD off. I would pay for a DLC 3rd person camera update even though it should've been included in the game. I highly recommend you offer this option in a future update or DLC. Thanks

    I disagree. I think games that have both 1st & 3rd person views don't do either perspective as well as when they focus on one, in addition, FC has and always should be a first person franchise...

    Sorry also think it should stay first person

    Plenty of third person perspective games out there I enjoy Far Cry because it is first person but retains those llittle additions that remind you there is a body behind the hands such as seeing your legs on occasion love the heal, skinning, looting animations and so on. Yes sometimes they can be a tactical nightmare but to me that is part of the game if you stop to loot in battle you are asking for it and sometimes I impatiently do.

    Generally speaking, I dislike 1st person.
    But for this game, it's fine.

    I respect that 1st person is the format,
    so I wouldn't expect 3rd person view.

    i agree with marvelimc 117

    its a great idea and prospect that game should have both viewing option as it create nausea to several gamers in first person viewing...Games like GTA V have both option works perfectly. I love games developed by ubisoft but i dont play many famous games having only first person camera option...Developers should think about it to increase their sale as well.

    I agree with you 100%! Games that don't have these options are modded later to have them!. If it is ever added it would be a great add-on for a lot of players. If you don't want to use the option then don't use it. Another good option would be the zoom out option using the mouse wheel. I don't know if these options can be modded for single play but I might give it a try if these options are not added later.

    It is the natural peripheric Sightfield you miss in the 1rd person view. The 3rd Person View companse this! So Ithink this is more natural then 1rd Person!

    I'n Favor For THIRD PERSON version

    I love the games that are in third person. They offer a vast view of the surroundings of the character and enable the player to give better and faster reactions to the situation. First person might give you that semi-realistic perspective but it definitely gives you a headache in the long run trying to keep up with what's going on around your character. GTA has first and third person views and its quality is unsurpassed. So a game can have it all.

    I Absolutely Agree

    Good games are made great by being given the third person option. Gamers have different preferences and it would be amazing if us the third party could get what we need to fully enjoy the experience.
