Aiming with a mouse feels terrible

[psmatt94]

I don't know if it is my system. I can't quite describe the issue. I've tweaked the settings here, but that hasn't helped. I know there have been reports with deadzones issues for the Xbox and PS5 contollers but nothing so far about this. As I said, I can't put my figure on the issue. Maybe I'm just terrible at aiming with KB+M? I'm playing hardcore, missing shots continuously with the pistol (it doesn't help when the ganados stagger after 3 headshots). I know hardcore wasn't meant to be piss easy but it's really frustrating line up headshots. I played the OG and I was able to get used to the controls 15 mins in and I was able to take down Dr Salvador with a handgun alone. I've breezed through professional so many times on that game. In this game I'm on chapter 8 now with low health and low on ammo across all weapons. Is there a technical fix for this or do I just need to play better?

I lowered my mouse poll rate from 1000hz to around 100hz and that helped me quite a bit (I have a Razer mouse).

Technically, there's nothing wrong with it. The sens starts high, so turn it down. There's no acceleration or deceleration like in the original.

The only issue with it is that guns are far less accurate in this game, and shots seem to go slightly to the top-left of the crosshairs rather than the centre.

Ganados get easily stunned during certain animations. And they're always vulnerable to getting instantly knocked if you shoot their legs while they're running at you.

(Makes'em vulnerable to Knife kills on the ground.)

Honestly aiming in this game feels very smooth and fulfilling for me.

OG Pro was easy and didn't offer any challenge. You could simply headshot kick each and every enemy to victory with no fear.
Remake Pro actually makes it so you have to know the game and master enemy move sets if you want consistent parries.

So use a controller

Keep in mind if you don't have a laser on your pistol of choice, or gun in general, the reticle has to tighten otherwise the spread could cause direct aimed shots to veer and miss unless close enough.

Further, even the laser has a slight delay when you draw to aim and is a bit off during that draw process so be careful if this is where you are missing your shots. Properly full draw first, confirm aim, then let loose. For the laser you also just have to get used to its movement due to the way its projected (separate from the drawing issue) and after a few chapters you will probably adapt if this is causing issues.

Imo, aiming isn't bad if you get used to it. I use a Razer mouse at high poling (1000HZ iirc), myself, and haven't touched any mice settings in menu so doesn't seem to be a technical issue most likely unless odd case.

I do have the laser. Maybe I just suck at this game lol? I always get conscious of mouse settings on pc and end up using a controller anyhow.

I'll try that
