Very bummed about the third-person-only. This is not how I play ARK and would much prefer the ARK 1 system of switching between the two on the fly as the situation dictates. I feel like any game where you are shooting something needs a first-person option. I've played like 10,000 hours of ARK so there's no way I'd skip trying ARK 2 but I'm not hopeful it will suck me in if it is 3rd person only as I've never been able to stick with other 3rd person games in the past.
