Who the FUCK wants this? Why do developers keep using it? And worse, why do most of them not even offer an option to turn it off??

Way back, they used to call this "active camera" and I preferred it, lol.

Anyway, it can work for some games. Like in RE4 and TLoU, it added an element of awareness to gameplay.

It is QUITE difficult. I dont think anybody in this thread knows what the "camera" is or how it works.

It's frankly amazing that you can even rotate it and have stuff still draw properly at all, tbh.
