skip_rat 447 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 What do people think about jobs that are locked by the host to first person? My own thoughts are that I dislike being forced to play the game in a certain mode. One of the main attractions of GTA to me is its third person view as I find even a short period of playing first person leaves me feeling kind of queezy. Because of this I have kind of stopped doing PS4 playlists as I never know when a first person locked job may pop up. I was wondering if it would be possible to at least put a note on the event topic so it's not a surprise if there is a FPV job there. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielle 3,007 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think it's fun but no one does it anymore, I only saw this in the first few PS4 playlists. I posted in my event topic when I did but I don't lock the camera now.

Matty 745 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I too am not a fan of FPV, I have given it a fair go but just cant get to grips with it. I have never been a fan of FPS games either such as COD & Battlefield. I find the view in-car too restricted but dont actually mind whacking NPC's in the head with my hatchet in FPV though 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronny 1,061 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 For me GTA is and always will be a 3rd person view game. At first I thought the idea was cool and was looking forward to try it out, but I just can't seem to enjoy it. I want abandon a pl because of a couple 1st person jobs, but i will probably not join a 1st person view playlist if it comes up to be honest. I rather play Battle field or COD if I'm gonna play 1st person. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LN-MLB 2,583 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 To say that I dislike FPV would be a serious understatement. I detest it, and it honestly kind of gives me an actual headache. For that reason and the fact that I simply can neither drive nor take cover properly in FP, I avoid all jobs with the forced setting. I haven't personally seen a FPV locked job pop up in a PL, but I agree that a warning would be nice. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey 1,680 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I locked a couple of jobs to 1st person for the first time ever last week and they got loads of laughs. It was a last minute decision by me but if the concensus of opinion is not to, then I won't. Most don't read the attached PL topic so I doubt if telling people would make any difference whatsoever. You can tell that by the amount that turn up without RSVPing Has there been a lot of PL with 1st person view jobs? 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68321 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since trying it it out I can't say I would attend one now though. My first instinct when a job starts in FPV is "get out, get out now!"

Lann 10,846 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I made two job first person only recently. One is a Tornado race in a slow pace across the hills during sunrise, the other is a knife only LTS in a parking lot, both these jobs needs to have the first person view to add something extra. I would say that FPV is a tool to use when creating. But with that said i do not like to use it since i feel awkward. Probably just a matter of what one is used to. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68324 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey 1,680 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 They could be put at the end of a playlist then anyone could drop out if they wanted to without missing out on anything. Just upto the host to inform the attendees 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew_Watkins 51 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 The only ting I like in FPV is the ocassional non competetive race with contact on. Anything on foot is so clumsy and frustrating, I'm bad enough in DM's no handicap needed 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHatched 12,123 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I lock some things to FPV, but it is usually goofy stuff like golf cart or tractor racing, maybe even a GTA race now and then. 3 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

That golf cart race at the airfield benefits from being in 1st person IMO. That was very funny and just wouldn't be as such in 3rd person. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeymorScagneti 1,274 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 There was one melee TDM we did in FPV on the edge of a building...was fun but I felt sick after. A heads up would be nice, but not every member reads the event topic threads or the job descriptions. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,404 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I like it in all game modes, but consider this: Racing in FPV is flawed, hold circle to use third person view, I don't do it, I enjoy racing in FPV, but I see some blatantly holding circle and the fact that they whizz past me through a corner almost proves it. I'm not bothered, I just wish the lock was actually a lock. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68384 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel 5,180 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I actually like it. Probably because I'm used to it seeing as I completed the whole story mode in FP. I did have a few of my jobs locked to it, my restricted racing one in the trench makes it a complete different experience. Deathmatches are more realistic, you don't know if someone is there when you pop out of cover. It levels the playing field a little. I know it's not the GTA style but neither was a 3D mode until GTA 3 came out! There are options in the menu that reduce head bobbing in the view, that could aid some peoples dizziness. I will warn of any jobs that are locked to first person but as with anything it's just a case of getting used to the different feel. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy 2,811 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Personally, FPV causes serious issues for me when I am forced to play it. I get dizzy, nauseous, headaches, and eye twitches. It's bad. None of the jobs in a playlist have been forced to FPV lately, but if they ever do, I have to back out just for my own health concerns. I avoid FPV jobs if I am invited to one and see that it's locked. It would be nice if the camera wasn't locked to any view, that way people can play the game how they like and feel most comfortable. When a job is locked to FPV, the game is no longer fun for me. Just my two cents. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,404 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So, based on the information in this thread, we're not gonna be doing any FPV jobs? I love DM's in FPV once you fix the settings for cover and roll. I'd also like to do heists in FPV too.

Casey 1,680 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Never say never DC. I might pop some in sometime but I'll let people know in advance so they can drop out if they want. Some jobs just crave FPV like Hatch's golf cart one. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68396 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not happy to have people complaining all the way through them or quitting before they start though, so maybe keep this as a planned thing. I read you either get more money or RP for doing all the heists in FPV so I will be doing that as well. I'll keep my playlists no camera lock and I'll warn in advance if there's any changes. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love DM's in FPV once you fix the settings for cover and roll. I'd also like to do heists in FPV too. I would have thought there will be as many people like FPV as dislike it so I can't see why there shouldn't be any. All I was hoping for was that there might be a little FPV tag or note next to jobs that are going to be locked so that anyone that doesn't feel comfortable playing that way doesn't have to. I always feel bad backing out of any job for whatever reason so this would just let people know what to expect. If you don't read the playlist topic and miss out on any information then you can't blame anyone but yourself. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/4208-locking-jobs-to-first-person/#findComment-68399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,404 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I just think it would be shame to have several players drop out of a job based on a view or health issues, technically we live our lives in FPV and I'm not seeing people vomiting on the side of the road on the way to the shop. I play jobs that I actually dislike on a regular basis, If I left the PL then I wouldn't get back in. I guess it would be handy to know who's gonna quit and at what point in the PL, helps the host to know what to expect.
