Using VATS in Fallout?

[Jeremy]

In all the other fallout games, the combat was so dreadful that VATS was necessary. Now, I honestly can't stand it. Is this just me? Or is VATS completely unneccesary and unfun now.

If you want to play it like an FPS, sure.

Why use VATS just because it's a fallout game? They improved the combat to a point where there is no need for VATS. Oh, and by the way, it IS an FPS.

VATS is an optional mechanic, you never have to use it if you don't want to.
Fallout 1 and 2 forced you to use it, here that's not the case.

Yeah, it's optional. Im just stumped as to why anyone would choose that option.

[Yhwach]

VATS is still a game mechanic, and there's perks and other things that'll make it less dull If you so choose.
I don't personally use it, but I used it use it a lot back in November of 2015

I did, because of the awful gun mechanics. It's fine if you didn't mind that, i'm kinda jealous. That was the worst part of those games. I will admit, fallout 3's guns were especially bad, even compared to NV.

I did when I first played it back on console, It's not too necessary on pc because of ironsights, and in fallout 3 it's easy.

Had problems first because: no iron sights, i know, mods, but i played and i am still playing F3 on console, doesnt work on W10 without ini patch, and that patch doesnt work on the German or cut version

The problem wasn't that it was hard. The problem was that it felt like garbage.

[Anvos]

Its still fairly useful as a snapshot/gunslinger system just not as required.

What ini patch. I has no INI patch but playing New vegas and Fallout 3 too in Win 64 bitt.

If you want to see the Mysterious Stranger, you'd use VATS.
