Enjoying Vampyr's story. With the silly third person camera not only is combat a complete chore (as with all such games), worse the third person complete keeps the player unimersed in the world.

For a twist on that, try Red Dead Redemption for PC.. It has a first
person mode, which is quite well done. But it will convince you that
some games are just made for third person.

I did pick up Vampyr on a sale, and launched it briefly, and it did
not feel "right" with a mouse and third person. Maybe playable, but
it is not a natural fit like some games. That may have more to do
with the amount of time spent on optimizing for mouse play than it
does the actual choice of perspective.

Speaking of RDR... RPCS3 made huge inroads on performance level, if you
have a good pc there is a high chance that RDR now works better on the
PC than on the original PS3.

For me, RDR2 is all about Red Dead Online and the various roles
(collector, bounty hunter, trader, moonshiner, etc) and assuming RDR1
does have an online mode I doubt it still has much of a community
left.

The story never really interested me much in these games. I never was
really an MMO guy but thats essentially what online mode is. As far I
know there's no way to see how many hours I've got into it, but I
think it has probably taken the #1 spot as my most hours spent playing
a single game. In fact I think I've spent more time in this already
since the PC version was released in November than probably the sum of
hours played in my top 20 played games over the last 10 years.

And believe me I'm not proud of this fact :) It's just a great game.

For reference I played the PS4 version of RDR2 maybe 10 hours (but
that was story mode, and Rockstar had not yet released the online mode
for it).
