Auto aim is bad

[Error2k]

I have played a lot of shooters on consoles with auto aiming. The Last of Us, Max Payne 3 etc. All of these games have unoticeable auto aim that slighlty helps you with aiming. GTA auto aim on the other hand is playing the game for you. You can even sometimes aim at enemies that are not on the screen. Also you can always do headshot with 100% chance by pressing aim + camera up in split second. What were they thinking? They did a great job with Max Payne 3 aiming. I hope they'll fix it soon.

keep hoping

The locking on thing has been in GTA for a while now. (Since GTA III?). The only real reason it's an "issue" now is because it's not the best for PvP things like deathmatches. Yes, I'll agree that locking on to some car driver driving by at insane speeds with almost perfect accuracy is rather silly, but it's not so much of an "issue" in this case since it's an intentional game mechanic.

Good dog OP. Have a tummy tickle.

...Also you can always do headshot with 100% chance by pressing aim + camera up in split second...

really gotta check that like right f*cking now!!!

i used to play freeaim in IV, sometimes i still play freeaim in gtao but the controllers feel less responsive that in IV, that keeps me away from freeaim.

 

i play in autoaim but since i use the marksman and thebother sniper rifles a lot, its like playing freeaim in autoaim!

[Furry_Monkey]

OP clearly hasn't played that much. Just play one Survival and you'll witness multiple occasions where auto-aim isn't even on the NPCs. It's about a foot over their head. Admittedly that's probably a bug, but if you've not experienced this then you've not played the game that much.

It's been statistically proven that Auto Aimers are 3.78 times more likely to purchase Shark Cards.

 

It's all about the Shark Cards. Hand people mechanics that dumb them down and they will be so numb from the experience they won't question plopping down $20 for some virtual BS.

There is an assisted aim option that doesn't lock on fully.

[Soran Is On]

Free aim, you silly bean. or free aim assisted if you want it just a little spicy. You still get dumped into free aim lobbies with free aim assisted.

Bwahahaha... no.

 

Auto-aim has been a GTA staple and the default aim mode since GTA 3. It was in Red Dead too. It's not going away anytime soon. Just play free aim, or stop thinking of this game as any kind of competitive shooter, and you'll be fine.

I think your refering to free aim assisted. which technically isn't assisted aim

How else would everyone pretend to be skilled without it though?

[Wormholes]

Auto aim isn't bad. And it's called AUTO AIM, not assisted aim so wtf do you expect?

Perhaps. I wasn't exactly sure, just knew that there is another option that I haven't seen mentioned.

It's called assisted aim bucko. And arguing semantics does not prove your point.

I feel sorry for the kids of today. They don't know what it is like to play a proper shooter with mouse and keyboard so they believe there's something like good auto aiming on a console

[KornbreadMaf1a]

Instead of taking the time to make this thread the OP could of just switched from auto aim to free aim and solved his problem. But what fun would that be? Why solve the problem when you could just bitch and cry about it instead.

I'm not a masterrace person, and I DO play console but I have to agree with you there. But some console games force you to aim, like Saints Row...jesus, getting to Tonya was a bitch with a whole gang of Vice Kings trying to gun you down

He preachin'.

 

OP, I think you need to chillax, and realise that the games you think have subtle auto-aim have actually been just carrying you more subtly.

 

I'm not saying it's an ideal system, but there's certainly a method to mastering the auto-aim in this game. It's called turning it off, and playing free-aim instead. I'll be waiting for your "Minigun is OP" complaint thread, where I'll point out that your complaints are nothing new.

 

Am I missing something, or haven't we already beat the sh*t out of this horse?

 

[EDIT] Failing free-aim, learn to flick that stick, son.

 

Just shut the f*ck up please. We have enough threads like this. If you don't like Auto Aim, then go to the bitch and moan thread. We don't need more of your kind flooding the forum. Mods, please close this.

 

 

 

 

That looks like a nasty suppository.

It's for casuals. /thread
If you're in a roleplayish crew then Free Aim is where it's at. An Auto Aim MC is not taken seriously. Being in Free Aim is a MC standard these days.

[sweat pants boner]

it really doesn't matter weather its auto aim or free aim. all people use in this game is rpg's and sticky bombs

[LeakyLine]

What everyone seems to think here is that I have a problem with free aim. Free aim is fine, just another way to play. But something needs to be done about people making threads daily about how playing in free aim makes their epeen bigger,

[ninjaontour]

Be that as it may, it still matters whether it's "whether or weather", no matter what the weather.

i used to play freeaim in IV, sometimes i still play freeaim in gtao but the controllers feel less responsive that in IV, that keeps me away from freeaim.

This is exactly why I use auto aim when playing with a controller. Even on the PC version running at a semi-consistent 60fps, the game just has some kind of inherent input latency, making precision with an analog stick (which is already difficult) nigh impossible. I used free aim in GTA IV without a problem, that was pure 1:1 input, but V just isn't as responsive. It really bothers me.

[GR7]

Yup I agree I've switched to auto aim because the game is pretty much dead in FA if you want to play certain modes. While I've adapted to the point that I actually do better in AA averaging about a 3-4 KD when I would average 1.5-2 in FA I still think it's a terrible system to have in multiplayer.

 

Some game modes are borderline unplayable with auto aim, if you start off as the runner in come out to play you've pretty much won the whole match. For the next game they need to get the aim assist to the point where pure Free aimers can compete with AA if they're good enough, and attempting a drive by wouldn't be a death wish. Free aim assisted is a step in the right direction, with a few adjustment I think that should be the new assisted aim going forward.

 

If they can manage to unify both aim preferences everyone would benefit, all game modes especially the less popular would have the maximum amount of people playing, you would never have to worry about whether the grass is greener on the other side because there would be no other side.

Does that make me a god....playing free aim with a controller....

 

Get on my level son.

[Mach1bud]

Why do I feel like I am the only one that actually played all the previous GTAs? Why is auto aim some big suprise? Did you not play the last 8 console games?

Gta 4 was sh*t, the other games camera angle angle was more suited to auto aim, also the inclusion of active cover removed any disadvantage of auto aim.

Camera angle? How was it any different? Seems the same to me since GTA III.
