For example, in a first person shooter you can sometimes feel like you're 'really there', while in third person you don't have as much of a connection to the character. Now, whether that would translate to real life or not, is sort of the debatable question. I suppose it would differ from person to person.
And that is why I said for the most part as there will always be those kind of people who will have that, effect on them I guess you would say for a lack of a better word. Any way I would find it rather disorienting.
