On RDR hardcore mode the auto aim is disabled, and im sorry but using that little circle to aim is downright diffcult at timeas and bothersome at times aw well. Im praying that Auto Aim comes back for GTA V, anyone else agree?

No, the way Max Payne 3 had aiming was good and Rockstar says it will be like that. No more hard lock.

Actually RDR DID have auto aim but it was like a dumbed down version of it. It wasn't a perfect auto aim like past GTAs.

As far as I can remember they said V's default is soft-lock, with also an improved free aim.

 

 

I'm not sure about you guys but auto-aim absolutely kills the game. Ruins everything from immersion to skill improvement, you might as well have the game steer the cars for you as well. If the gun mechanics are improved upon from MP3 or atleast as fluid then I think they should ditch auto-aim altogether.

 

Auto-aim to me is like saying "Here's a game with half-assed gunplay mechanics, since it's so undefined and near impossible to aim yourself, we'll just let the game aim for you." GTA is and always has been a shooter, now you wouldn't expect COD to come with auto-aim..

No, Free Aim is more fun, they improved it a lot in MP3

This, it's hell easy to kill if you have auto aim enabled.

I completely I agree. I absolutely hate auto aim.

Even if auto aim does come back even soft lock, which it will I will be turning it off. To ME it completely ruins the game when it assists you in any way. Most of the time it'll switch to someone you're not even targetting and that's annoying. You simply don't improve on your own skills. Nor does it help your hand eye coordination. A challenge makes things worth it. To each their own. You can use auto aim all you want.

I'm digging the multiple control options. This will mean very little bitching from people who have to have it "their" way. Granted, I won't deny that the GTA shooting mechanics have been hit or miss over the years. Even San Andreas had some iffy moments to it's scheme for gunplay.

Uhhh if you have carpel tunnel what difference does it make using the left stick to walk/drive than using the right stick to actually aim a gun? Sounds more like you're too lazy to learn how to shoot than being in too much pain to aim. Why not have a complete steer assist for driving as well for all the carpel tunnel sufferers?

 

And what about blind gamers? Maybe we should put braille letters on every gamepad button so they can be pleased also.

 

Should they add subtitled colors for traffic light signals as well.. you know, for the color blind gamers?

Unless you're in your f*cking 80's you shouldn't have that much pain.

I too have carpel tunnel but you don't hear me bitching.

Can someone explain what soft lock is? Is it that thing where you half hold down the left trigger to free aim? I don't bother with it I use free aim. You haven't lived until you've finished IV in 100% free aim. It's more challenging

It's essential to GTA SA to get the most action, IV too. you can get really tactical and have different more combat centric gameplay with keyboard and mouse or without lock on on joypad in GTA, but the lock on enables it to be a global experience, more than just gunplay which isn't really a huge role other than it's what's used to click the enemies away. Where you're fighting with more than bullets, or where you are bad-ass running through barely surviving run and gun, it's awesome. For gta. Not every game, only some.[

I think it's the type where you can just flick the one analog to make the lock-on switch to another target and not have to press a certain button.

I don't get what the big deal is. Even though there is Multiplayer, the game isn't really a competitive title, not in the sense of CoD or Battlefield.

 

Yea, I get some mechanics are frowned upon, but who gives a damn? The games are just meant to be fun, so what if the controls make some things too easy/hard? Long as you're not having to use 5 buttons to perform a simple action, I'm fine.

Some people view AA as the plague, worse than Twilight even. I prefer it when dealing in idiots in cars/choppers.

What exactly is soft-lock? GTA 4 had both free-aim and auto-aim. Is soft-lock like semi assisted?

GTA does have soft lock

Since when? GTA IV was hard lock, SA was hard lock, VC was hard lock, III was hard lock, LCS was hard lock, VCS was hard lock. Only one that has soft lock is GTA V.

Anyone who honestly thinks simplified controls are even on the same level as twilight deserve to be castrated and flung into space.

 

There's a difference between casual and sh*t. And simple controls like AA are far from complete sh*t.

Read my edited post. I misread. Is free-aim the same thing as soft lock? And didn't rockstar announce GTA 5 will have auto-aim already? And it's the players chocie?
