A ThirdPersonShooter often uses this view since right analog stick (and mouse aim in keyboard + mouse control combination) becoming the norm and the increasingly clunkier auto aim being phased out, thus playing just like a FirstPersonShooter, save for not being first person.

Note, however, that this isn't limited to UsefulNotes/PolygonalGraphics; it's also common in older 2D games featuring an "into-the-screen" perspective or a rotating TopDownView because it reduces the number of angles the most conspicuous sprite has to be shown from.
