I wanted to upload more images so explain my point but this sub wouldn't let me, I hope you get the idea.
Whether it's shooter games or fantasy I always felt it's super dumb for someone to walk around with their sword or gun raised up to their eye level the entire time.
Sure when you are about to shoot you lift your air arm up to your eye level but for the remaining 90% of the time you don't walk around with your weapon up the entire time .
Usually I don't think about it but the moment it crosses my mind I can't stop thinking of how stupid it is for the main to run around with their arms straight like a zombie the entire time.

Who tf would aim looking at the side of the gun? The standard military position for accurately shooting a pistol is to hold with both hands and extend out from the chest. This meme makes no realistic sense
Go look up John Wick holding a pistol. He doesn’t hold it like option 2.

Realistic also isn’t realistic in this picture.
If you’re in a situation where enemies are, yes, you do walk with your gun raised and ready to go. Extra seconds means death.
Playability is almost always more important than realism
It always bothered me w games that looks like you’re shooting to the left
That’s not realistic. You don’t see your own arm when you’re aiming because you’re looking at your sight posts. Even if you try to notice it a bit in your peripherals it’s just a weird, double image of an arm.
Also, when shooting one handed, you cant the gun ~20 degrees and your arm should not be straightened but flexed, causing your elbow to be at a bit of an angle. This is the strongest position for one handed shooting and provides the most control both for the weapon and if your arm is grabbed. Tough to describe in text but it’s somewhat akin to “gangster” style shooting. A lot of gun nerds hate this truth but it is what it is, and it’s how JSOC units train it.
Realistically, the standard ADS view is much more like Doom, but with two hands and the sights are blurry.
That would explain how we have extra arms to carry those 50 rockets.
I don’t think you play enough shooters, usually while running the gun is down, while walking forward the gun is supposed to be up, it’s a tactical advance, in both fantasy and first person games you can holster your weapon, so again I just feel like you don’t play enough games, it seems like you’ve played doom
It’s a game. Realism sometimes needs to be sacrificed for gameplay. In this instance “realism” would be clunky.
А хули нет когда да
Can’t wait for the next chapter of DOOM 🤘🏽 May 15th, let’s gooo!
In real life, you two eyes. In video games, you only have one screen, so it’s like having one eye.
This sounds like the start of a Jerry Seinfeld routine. “And what’s the deal with automatic weapons having weaker bullets than semi-auto weapons in FPS games? I’m pretty sure that if I emptied a pistol into this lovely crowd, then emptied this AK-47” **hefts one menacingly** “the people with 7.62 bullets in ’em would complain a lot louder than the ones with 9s!”
Couldn’t doom just be standing sideways looking down his arm?
Doom: you can run at 40mph and the gun will sway left to right In your stride to show a more realism
Stride length = 10 meters
In KCD2 the view is realistic. There’s actually no separate model for your character to enhance the first person view. What you see is actually where your character model is in game
Whoever made this image has never been to the range before and it shows
I think Perfect Dark was a cross between Realistic and Doom. I think that’s the most logical one.
If you look at racing sims and how you set view to correspond view with where your head is then 1st is the realistic. You raise your hand and see exactly what is on the 1st pic. 2nd pic is realistic you play with your eyes planted right on the screen tho.
Your “realistic” one, seems to be the most unrealistic.
In Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps, the player holds the gun right up against their face.
The only thing unrealistic about Doom is the use of only one hand. You look down the barrel when you fire any gun.
The standard view would actually make sense if the character was holding the gun with both hands but they don’t show it that way in games probably because the left arm would obscure your view too much
On a similar note, see how scopes are depicted in both FPS games and shows. The scope is shown taking up your entire field of view. Actually its only a circle near the centre of your field of view. Since you don’t press your eye up against the scope (that would be a bad idea).
the standard fps pros put the monitor 5cm to there nose. so they can sniff the pixels
Doom’s realistic because he’s just holding more guns in this other hands
I love dooms old school view
Video games cannot emulate what it’s like to actually use a firearm for a variety of reasons. Because of that I don’t mind developers taking creative liberties in how they portray firearms.
Bottom also goes with Wolfenstein and quake
When i play doom i just think why is he so short
Never held a gun? Doom is actually realistic.
Doom mode should come with a shotgun and chainsaw triple wielding.
I wish more modern games gave you the “doom” option. It may look weird but it frees up so much space on the screen and it’s perfect compromise between having no view model and having giant view models taking up entire corner of the screen.
Besides in most games(Unless it’s a realistic one) guns shoot from your eyes anyways.
If you aim with your right arm and close your right eye you’ll notice that most fps shooters is a bit more accurate.
This meme is old as hell. Most military FPS now have a more accurate pov.
Nobody’s tryna serve like that bro lol
The doom guy is not using hands 😏
So many shooting experts in here that clearly don’t shoot 💀
The 2nd image would take up more screen and feel extremely awkward.
Its because the rest of the fov goes outside the screen, the first picture is most immersive cuz you dont have 2 separate fov’s
Funny thing is the *realistic* one is also not realistic.
You don’t hold a pistol with arm stratched out, generaly the less length between you and the handgun the better.
Of course you can’t have it like picture one because you nose gets hit by the slide and it is very uncomfortable.
So realistically you hold the gun with your elbow at a 90° angle in the middle of the view, slight to the side of you dominant hand.
So at the end of the day, funnilly the Doom one would actually be the most realistic one out of these.
Sorry I’m a nerd I know.
