Brutally honest question

[Incarnate]

Okay, so the gunplay in GTA V objectively sucked. I guess no GTA fans noticed or cared except maybe that one guy on YouTube.

On PC (where there's no aim assist or bullet magnetism to guide shots directly into enemies' foreheads) it was lousy. A shot to the foot did as much damage a headshot. Shooting a gun did not knock it out of their hands like it did in GTA IV. The AI in general was moronic. The whole of combat in GTA V was based around hiding behind cover and big set pieces where you were covered in armor.

Is it better in RDR 2?

EDIT *I'm using a keyboard and mouse so I don't care about controllers.*

I don't mind slow weapons. The pathetic little SMGs from GTA V farted out bullets like it was an air-soft gun. The weapons in GTA V (except maybe the riot shotgun) felt and looked pathetic. The shotguns didn't even have bassy sound effects or decent particle effects.

The .45 revolver from Vice City, on the other hand, is arguably the best gun in the GTA series. I feel like Charles Bronson from Death Wish 3 with that cannon. I loved one-shotting Cubans.

at least GTAV weapons are easy to use and pump out headshots, having to sit and hope the camera shake doesn't make me miss an enemy with pretty much any gun in rdr2 is not fun

How bad is the camera shake? Is it just a visual feedback mechanic after getting hit?

Wouldn't miss with a controller xp. It's snap to aim so unless the enemy is just a tiny spec on your screen you're guaranteed to hit. Also makes it easy to manually operate the lever/hammer on your weapon by alternating right and left trigger pulls which just feels great. I always play shooters with KB+M but this game is the one exception.

it's almost always there in some form unless you're taking cover, super annoying when you're going for headshots.

Again, something the devs thought would be 'cool' to add when they ported the game from console. It goes away when you pick up a controller.

Weapons are a lot slower and weapon capacity is also smaller, Accuracy is hard to maintain, you would be relaying a lot on deadeye ability for accurate shots.

You have to remember you're not using modern weapons. The year, at least while Arthur is still around, is 1899.

Not complaining, just stating facts. Some people would assume that weapons are going to be like Battlefield One.

If you ONLY play shooters and you refuse to go anywhere near a controller then this game will probably disappoint you. I've played plenty of shooters with a mouse and keyboard and RDR2 is just not well optimized for it.

Huh? I did spend 5 minutes attempting to play with a spare Xbox controller i had, and it was far more annoying than with the keyboard and mouse. Mainly tried the controller to see if I could play on the TV/lounge instead of monitor/desk...
Maybe it's you that's not correctly optimised for keyboard and mouse :P

As much as I love this game, Rockstar didn't put a ton of effort into porting it.

That I will agree with.

I spend an equal amount of time with both. How about you?
