GTA V still defaults to the ridiculous lockon, as does RDR2.
Thanks R* for training these noobs
Even when Saints Row shat all over their aiming system they still can't get it right by default ( free aim works perfectly )
But nah they never updated their old games like that. Probably mods out there for it
This sucks because the pc versions have free aiming. There’s no excuse for no free aiming and real controller support inn2019
Free aim in R* games (all of them, including Max Payne 3) is kind of shit on a controller, the sensitivity is honestly just off, either too high or too low, but never right.
Their problem is that they "correct" this by implementing lock on aim, instead of having decent acceleration/smoothing on the thumb stick, or at least an aim assist without ridiculous snap.
I play Division 2 with a controller on PC, and with some aim assist, the game plays just fine, i can't do head shots as fast as i would be able to with a mouse, but it doesn't feel like i'm fighting the controls every time i aim (and it does have a bit of a snap on target, but it's not super noticeable/distracting).
RDR2 was still one my favorite games of the last decade, but that aiming is shit, and it's not just a matter of them defaulting you to lock on aim.
Maybe with a mouse it'll be better.
