4:3 Resolutions

[Ohmz]

View distance is vital in this game, and vertical sight is much lower than horizontal. Am I the only one that gets really annoyed by this? I find myself putting in extra movement to approach targets from the sides, simply due to view limits. With a 16:9 monitor I would prefer to have black bars on the sides with a square or 4:3 aspect ratio that allows the same or similar vertical view distance as what is given on the horizontals. This way I would approach targets from the sides simply because I wanted to, and not at all out of a necessity due to vertical sight limits.

It feels so wonky to have my play style arbitrarily dictated to a large degree by such locked down resolutions that limit gameplay. I've seen some asking for ultrawide resolution support, but this would only make things worse, further reducing vertical sight and calling for more side-to-side prioritised movement.

Am I the only one that want a square resolution, for unhindered sight?

I've always wondered about this. If you were to put the view area in a perfect centre square (or circle to make it more fair) and black out the rest (probably use it as an area for character info / stats / ammo etc.). I wonder if most people would complain about the lack of vision even though it's more 'fair'.
I wouldn't be bothered by widescreen isometric gameplay if the game mechanics were fair to that isometric viewpoint as well IE. the enemies view and gun ranges are shorter up and down than left to right. If the immersion can be sold that we're really viewing the battlefield at an angle and that the top and bottom is 'technically' the same distance as left and right, then it won't be that bad in my opinion.

Yes this is a major problem that they refuse to address.

just make the right click view mode be a square not dependent on your resolution.

especially since when you approach an NPC they dont seem limited by it
