1st Person Camera Centering

Recommended Posts

When I'm on horseback and barely moving, let's say I'm looking off to the side at an Elk through some trees. I urge my horse forward... and the camera tries to move to center. I have to constantly fight with it just to look to the side. How do I turn that off? I've turned off absolutely everything that looks like auto-centering or leveling or what not in search of a way to get the bloody game to lay off my camera. 

On the other hand, when at a dead gallop, I can't keep Arthur looking straight ahead. I have to keep manually adjusting the camera to see the road... which means I am using one thumb for two things at the same time. 

I don't expect anything from this but I would like to point out that forcing the player to fight with the controls in order to play the game is going to affect your bottom line. I will be paying very close attention to the control schema and functions of any future Rockstar release because, quite simply, they are simultaneously masterpieces and train-wrecks... and the wreckage is exclusive to the player interface. Camera and control should feel so fluid and intuitive that, once learned, the player never has to think about it. I am CONSTANTLY frustrated by the controls and camera behavior and have yet to find any way that makes this game enjoyable for more than an hour or so at a time, which is apparently my limit for unnecessary aggravation.

In any case thanks for reading to the end. Here's hoping Rockstar continues to refine their games. 

PS: With respect to the moderators, I'm not sure if this topic should be an addendum to one of my others or a subject unto itself and thus leave it to your discretion. 

Cheers
