Since I can't play the game at launch, I need my boritos to answer three desperate questions for me and the rest of the site:
1. How are on foot controls? Does it still feel like you control like a tank? Are characters more agile? Does it take 10 seconds to turn around and do seemingly small things like get out of your car? Are the animation fast?
2. How is the cover system? Is it still poop? Are you still hit with damage even though you're clearly behind cover?
3. How is the shooting without auto aim enabled?
1. Still a tank. I felt like a jackass trying to get my character to drink a beer beside the fridge because he turns so slow. After playing Saints Row 4, I wish you could just jump through cat windows to steal a vehicle but nope, you've gotta walk around to throw the person out. It's still clunky but eh, not as bad as 4.
2. The cover system is better. It feels like Max Payne 3's and I liked that. I don't have any complaints with it.
3. Honestly I haven't turned on complex aiming. I left it on simple. If you don't flick the analog stick to the left or right you won't auto target someone though, so it still is basically free aim if you move the stick yourself. The aiming reticle is a little annoying though. It's a white dot that's like 2 pixels large so it can be a bit hard to see what you're aiming at but I'm getting used to it.
