I generally (with a few notable exceptions) dislike the first-person viewpoint, I've got the worst aim in human history, and I feel an irrational need to see the person I'm controlling in a game. Hell, the last single-player FPS I played all the way through was Doom II. All things considered, I am decidedly not the target audience for Rage, id Software's upcoming post-apocalyptic FPS.
