And seriously, why the hell isn't the shooting in 3rd person. That's just about the most moronic design choice I've ever seen.


Some of the action is in 3rd person (including some shooting weapons).  However, I don't think it's dumb to have a 3rd person game use 1st person shooting.  I am almost certain that the reason they did this is so you can have a hybrid between a FPS and an action game.  You can't really have a good action fighting game with a 1st person POV, and 3rd person POV for shooting provides less accuracy than 1st person POV.


That's not true at all. And FPS in a 3rd person action game is jarring. I dunno. I don't like when game designers mess with point of view like that.

Yes it is true.  1st person POV gives you more screen space for aiming.  It may not make much a difference for enemies close up, but if you are going to go for someone far across  the map, a 3rd person POV will be more difficult to manage.  Though I do agree that FPS in a 3rd person can be jarring, but I don't know if it will actually be that bad in practice.  It doesn't seem much different than a FPS game switching from your regular view to a long range sniper scope.
