I've been a die-hard FPS fan since the genre's beginnings. I never liked 3rd person games, in fact I would say they really pissed me off.
Until Max Payne. My bro said I HAD to try it. So I did. Instantly hooked. It took a really good game to change my perspective on 3rd person (no pun intended).
And bullet time never really got old, it's a very tactical manuever.
