Is it just me, or does the aiming in FO3 and FNV SUCK? REAL BAD?

[CrazyCrux]

I love these games soooo much, but am constantly using melee weapons because I CANT HIT A SINGLE THING! The aiming is soo bad that I cant even hit the bottles in the tutorial because the aiming mechanism is not precise enough and overcorrects. This is not because I am bad at shooter games, I have played practically every modern shooter out there, COD, FC3, Battlefield Bad Company all the way up to Battlefield four, so on and so forth. But the aiming in the Fallout games just seems so tight and gridlike, it is really a BAD system. Does anyone know of a good mod to fix this? And I would also like to know what you guys think of the aiming system in this game? It almost seems like there are invisible squares that the reticle fits into so that you CANT actually get a precise shot. I dont know maybe its just me.

while we're on the talk about NV, why did Obidian EVER decide to pull a fallout 3 and end with a cutscene that you cant play afterwards?! that is NOT what you do when you make an RPG.

That's how Fallout and Fallout 2, Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2. Icewind Dale, and the other all-time great RPGs ended. If anything, I'd say that endless play is the aberration.

Actually you could keep on playing after finishing the main quest in Fallout 2 you even had a few lines acknowledging your victory over the Enclave (from Miss Kitty in New Reno and some message from the devs to be found in Vault City's computer).

As for using a controller with FNV I find it much more enjoyable because I can sit back and relax instead of being hunched over my keyboard. The shooting may be less accurate but that's not a big deal with a little practice (it's not like this game is a competitive FPS or remotely difficult even with mods and on the hardest difficulty).

As much as I like FNV I have to admit that the shooting is rather mediocre if you compare it to a good FPS.

A good way to help aiming in New Vegas with a mouse is to disable mouse acceleration.

Go into Fallout_default.ini in your game folder (right click it in your library, go into properties, then local files, and browse local files), and paste this under [Controls]:

fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0
fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0
fForegroundMouseBase=0
fForegroundMouseMult=0

Make sure you go into the .ini's properties and make it Read Only too, or else it won't work

Guns never seemed that hard to aim when i play, just use vats if you can't hit the side of a barn.

There lies the problem. I tried NV with a controller for like a minute cause I forgot i had mine plugged into the computer and I was like eh I'll give it a chance. EW how anyone could play these games on a console is beyond me.

I like the controller myself

I never understood why people complain "I can't keep playing after ending". It's called ENDING for a reason...
Movies have endings, books have endings television series have endings, video games have endings, that shouldn't be hard to grasp.

I'm with Two Bears on this one, continuing gameplay just cheapens the ending itself:
"You saved the world, great work! Now get off my lawn before I'll chase you off with a shotgun"

No, I know it is an RPG, I am a big RPG fan, the bullets missing is not the problem, it's the controls with the reticle that are bad. The actual process of moving the crosshair is what is difficult for me. I actually like the fact that some of the bullets veer off to the sides, it's just the target acquisition that is the problem.

The mouse sensitivity is adjustable, as well as supporting controller inputs too. Have you tried checking your options? A little fine tuning and control adjustments make the difference from frustration to critical headshot.

Keyboard & Mouse are working fine for me...

Once you get that 100 gun stat you will be an experienced rifleman or gunslinger!

Keyboard and mouse is basically cheating it's so easy.

lol! i'd love to argue, but you already won.

Your gun becomes less accurate the more worn out it is. To make the aiming better, either repair your gun or put points into the gun skill.

[Deity]

yea I do agree I heard good things about fallout new Vegas but the accuracy with guns just ruins the game for me I haven't been able to find a mod that actually fixes the accuracy if you guys find something make sure to tell me. I cant believe Bethesda actually messed up so badly on new Vegas and all my friends have been saying new Vegas was way better than fallout 4 but I don't see how it could ever possibly be better with this game breaking mechanic.

[Our Savior]

in FO3 the aiming is disgusting, not to mention no iron sights. In New Vegas its not great either.

Just because you have issues with controllers, doesn't mean it's unplayable! This and all other 3d dallouts play VERY FINE with controllers!

[zzirSnipzz]

I personally use vats for everything so fun watching limbs blown off in vats xD
Maybe next time you will give me the explosives Easy pete and you won't force me to blow off your limbs
