I'd have to say third person storytelling is less interesting. Why? Because you are considerably told everything but not enough, whereas while in Third Person, your job is to uncover what is happening. You are limited to what you have been told and what you have seen. Third Person is no different from a Movie, which is quite linear in the way you learn things.
No offense, but Third Person storytelling is quite boring compared to First Person. This is technically speaking. With Third Person though, your story can be as elaborate as possible without a complicated story structure.
In first person, the writer must plan how much information the player intakes at certain moments and so on, just like real life. Learning things first hand.
