Snap/Auto-aim. Good or Bad?

[GrizzlyAKIMBO]

Something to keep in mind is that auto-aim almost certainly requires that the person playing hit the auto-aim button (crazy thing, eh?). From what I've seen, the game uses crosshairs, so that you can manually aim.

BTW, this would be a NDA issue until tomorrow. On top of that, complaining about how auto-aim works is petty given that you can either a) not use it or b) learn how to use it properly. It isn't up to developers to fix stupid.

Auto-aim button? What on earth are you talking about.

Don't join a discussion if a) You don't know what you are talking about, and; b) Have nothing constructive to add.

Thats a little too accurate for my liking, i hope theres an option to turn it off

most games offer the option to activate and deactivate an option like this. I'm sure they wont overlook it.

And I assume you'll have to hit a button to look down the sight of your gun...(like you *may* have to on PC versions ). That's when the snap takes place. But you can have crosshairs up any time you have a gun out, and can shoot like any third person shooter.

No, the PS3 live event is under NDA. The first day of Xbox and PC is when the NDA lifts.

eh, they can sue me if they want lol... i have 47cents in my pocket and student loans to pay back soooo there's a long line haha!!

Not sure we can talk about this in Defiance.It's still under NDA...Maybe i'm wrong.

That's fine, but I'm curious of the implications this will have on PvP. Will it be optional as it is in PvE? In which case, wouldn't it remove a large portion of the challenge.

Couldn't you also just run through the game with auto-aim on and power level?

[Bjindaho]

I'm not honestly sure anyone is going to be able to answer this. How the PvP and PvE engines will work aren't as well known (especially since we are still playing beta versions).

This post is full of ignorance, and on top of that, you're rude for no reason.

Theres never been an auto aim button on consoles, stupid. It IS up to the devs to fix if it's a problem...who else would fix it? No one knows if its optional and if it's not, it's certainly a deal breaker for me as well. If I can disable it, no issue. And don't ever suggest that someone learn to use something that they expressed dislike for...who the **** are you?!

i just find if laughable that someone would not buy a game over something as small as auto-aim.... in like 90% of the games that have the feature it can be turned off. no sense in getting all twisted in the kinckers over something we as a whole don't really know much about yet....

If you mean me...I clearly stated if it can be disabled, nothing wrong..but if it's forced on us...it's not a small issue. Just because it's small to you, doesn't mean everyone shares your view on it. I HATE any type of aim assist.

like i said....twisted kinckers man... I'd be willing to bet 2 internets that it will be a feature than can be disabled... i know how annoying an auto-aim function in a game can be..i've played my fair share of shooters over the years. Tomorrow when the 360 beta hits and you check it out you'll know if its a forced issue or something that can be clicked to off.
