I think Saddam was referring to this exchange:
[18:30:52] <Saddam> Blanko: Does a game that's designed to be played in third-person lend itself to better combat than if it had been first person?
[18:32:03] <Blanko> Uh...
[18:32:06] <Blanko> Of course?
[18:32:14] <Saddam> I see
[18:32:15] <Blanko> Are you seriously asking
[18:32:24] <Saddam> Some people might disagree
In which I only suggest that third-person combat is better if it is designed with third-person in mind.
