CrimsonFolo Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 There is no skill to autoaim pretty much, anyone can headshot anyone and when i kill folks or get killed, it doesn't feel rewarding in any way. Sure they don't want to split the audience but that makes the entire gameplay experience sh*t, either have hardcore mode or a seperate free aim lobby/servers and that's it, problem solved.

The game just sucks now because of this lock on gameplay. Shooting is a core element of the game after all and shootouts are mobile game level bad.

ThaBirdCoot Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I'm starting to have doubts this will even see the day... Game is young yet, but I got a bad feeling we will never have a true free aim experience like back in the RDR days.

Stretch188 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I'm FA but still playing - I do alot of racing, since they got rid of lock-on during races. I think that's why I've been pretty dominant in the races - I'm a good horseman, and I'm the only person used to having to actually aim my shots. That and sticking to stranger missions, PvE stuff. I take my lumps in PvP, but I feel like it's really good practice and I like a challenge - kinda like I'm playing single player on 'Insane' difficulty or something. wehweh01 and Assblaster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMike24 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Even doing missions with auto aim is boring, everyone just instant headshots about 30 enemies in under a minute. Is it too much to ask for a xp bonus if we do get hardcore lobbies? A J, ThaBirdCoot, SaturdayNight and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaBirdCoot Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 A good thing would be if the host of said story missions being able to put the settings on which aim mode is prefered. Like in Gta Online, there was this option between third and first person view, anyone who don't feel up to it could still leave and find an AA Lobby. And since only two players is needed anyway.. *Lola, U Carmine, HockeyMike24 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaturdayNight Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I go into a mission and i go take cover so i can begin a shootout.. everyones dead because every cowboy outlaw had the aim of god. Terrible. Just think if every western film youve ever seen was like this. Every shootout would last 6 seconds because it would be nothing but flawless headshots.

This is becoming the big issue for me. I've been trying auto aim for the last week or so and while I think the ability card system adds enough spice to make AA PvP fairly engaging, it just turns PvE and hunting into such a bore...

Assblaster Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If they provided more xp for FA kills, like double or triple the amount, almost everyone would use FA. I think FA is more fun myself. Animals & NPCs are way too easy to kill with AA. U Carmine, A J and IamCourtney 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamCourtney Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 As tempting as 50+ XP per kill is, it might be a bit too much to hope for. I'd settle for a +5 Free Aim bonus dinging with each kill. Assblaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd settle for a +5 Free Aim bonus dinging with each kill. That's not enough. People in auto aim can kill quite fast. People in free aim, it'll take them longer to line up their shots. So imagine auto aimer killing two players in two seconds. 35 XP x 2 kills = 70 XP in 2 seconds. But free aimer, they might kill two players in about 5 to 10 seocnds. +5 XP for free aim bonus is not worth it the time. If someone wanted a lot of XP, they might as well stay in auto aim than free aim. I'd rather free aim bonus XP was higher.

IamCourtney Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'd take a bigger bonus I just don't think it'd be likely. But I'm more-or-less strictly a free roam player so I made my peace with sub-optimal XP gain long ago. And I'd still play free aim even if the kills gave no XP whatsoever.

A J Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 It's an utterly ridiculous decision from Rockstar. But don't forget they combined 'freeaim' and 'freeaim assisted' on PS4 GTA Online. There was a lot of fuss made, but they made absolutely no effort at addressing it. Free aimers eventually gave-up on the idea of them listening. This was the next step, totally ignore 'freeaim' in Red Dead Online. Why? Because casual gamers are the ones who go for microtransactions, and if the better gun gives them a greater advantage due to range, the inclusion of any form of skill (freeaim) becomes an issue to that casual player, even if it's a greater challenge vs animals when hunting, the gameplay / enjoyment of gamers is a secondary issue, making money is all that matters. Why else would they not cater the games to players who want challenge? P.T., Stretch188 and Assblaster 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamCourtney Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 As much as I've softened my stance on Auto Aim in terms of PvP, I've come to the conclusion that Free Aim sessions are still probably gonna be a dealbreaker for me. I'm here for the holistic free roam experience where PvP and PvE aren't clearly delineated and can become mixed together at any time, and AA PvE (especially hunting) just ain't doing it for me. Free Aim Free Roam or bust!!! A J and Stretch188 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ding ding ding! Winner winner chicken dinner! Couldnt agree more. Its an economic decision. In the old SNES era for example, games like battletoads were so hard that I only knew a few people who ever actually beat them, let alone get to the last levels. Heck, i didnt even beat the lion king game until I went back to it and finished it as a 20 year old (on an emulator, in my cubicle, during a summer internship lol) This new guard of gamers needs instant gratification - game designers know this, and know that any game with a steep learning curve will be quickly abandoned by gamers who can just go play an easier game.
