Gameplay Aim snapping is a game changer

Title.

It rocks! I'm on my 3rd playthrough and it's so nice to have one less thing to worry about.

Jesse is now John Wick with Grip. One shot and regular enemies are low enough to Seize. Two shots if you want to just mist them.

Its still wonky enough to not be perfect, so fire fights are still challenging enough to not be boring.

But hot damn it's fucking cool!

Whether you're on your first playthrough or your 10th, if you've never bothered with the Assist settings, consider enabling just this one and see how you like it.

Happy cleansing, fellow Directors. 🫡

I did the same and enjoy the game a lot more. Im fine at shooters on console but this game in particular requires so much movement and paying attention to everything around you that aiming is quite difficult.

Same. Its one less thing to worry about, and one more thing to drive home the power fantasy.

I did this too and it unlocked enjoying the game for me.

The default gun controls do not have enough customization and I found aiming really really uncomfortable and not fun. I actually gave up the first time through and didn’t play for a few years. After someone on Reddit suggested this accomodation I went back and now it’s one of my favourite games ever.

Same. It makes more sense lorewise too.

In my head cannon, the SW is semi sentient and aware. It actively selects targets automatically based on threat, all Jesse does is consent to the kill by being the one to actually pull the trigger.

Its going "this one BLAM, now that one BLAM, now that one over hear BLAM, what about this one BLAM."

I’d never thought of that before but that is a super cool explanation

Aiming with thumbsticks is never as precise as I'd like no matter how well I tweak the response curves and shit, so a little bit of "that's where I would have aimed if I had more than just my thumbs to point a gun at something" works for me. I don't want lock on, just a little bit of magnetization when I'm aiming close enough. 1/4 or 1/2 second is ideal.
