What's the point of iron sights?

[Nver]

If you have to aim with a dot in the middle of the screen anyways...

[Coldhands]

A little bit of zoom, and I think it tightens up your shot groupings.
Could be totally cosmetic though; this game isn’t really a shooter.

Typically game mechanics are such that you're more accurate firing down sights. Even if that's not the case the sights still serve the purpose of focusing your view of what your aiming for/on.

[Nver]

No they don't serve a purpose because you don't aim with the iron sights. You aim with the dot above the iron sights in the middle of the screen. It's a useless graphic that takes up screen space. And why is it almost 2020 and developers still can't figure out how to use render to texture to make a proper scoping effect...? They just lazily slap a 2d overlay on the screen and zoom it in.

Love a good armchair developer. : \

Yup, go design good ironsights for a game that didn't have template from other games they could use legeally and then tell me about laziness.
Also why is it almost 2020 and people still think programmers can "just do things"? Words obviously used by someone who knows nothing about getting things programmed into games... or anything for that matter.

the point of aiming downsights is the slight zoom and steadying your aim. it's perfect for aiming for vital spots at short to medium ranges.

"And why is it almost 2020 and developers still can't figure out how to use render to texture to make a proper scoping effect...?"

it sounds like you want a scope. odd that. because you can add at least 3 different kinds of scopes to your weapon in this game that do exactly what you want.

have you actually PLAYED this game?

You don't aim down sights. You aim with the dot In the middle of the screen not the iron sights. Have you ever played this game?
Let me specify a little more clearly: when you hold the right mouse button the screen zooms in and the character holds up the iron sights however you do not use the iron sights to aim. There is a DOT above the iron sights in the middle of the screen that you still must use to aim with.
Doesn't matter now though. Game is gone. It's like a more boring version of fallout 76.
It's so awful that instead of uninstalling I actually considered just burning my computer and putting together a new one.

aww, would have been so much more interesting if you burned your puter over a game you didn't like.

what a petulant child you are.

in fact, it appears MOST of the commenters in this forum just came here to whinge about perceived butthurts.

man, I wish I had that kinda time.

I don't know what you mean by "you wish you had time" but it seems like this is all you do. In your 6 years on steam you've posted 3400 times. In my 15 years I've only posted 1300 times.
That's 1.5 posts day vs
0.25 posts a day
Unless I'm missing something it's okay to voice your opinions in this country and on these forums still.
Also nobody here is flaming anyone personally accept you.

Jesus Christ dude, do you come out of the Developers crack at night or you also sleep in there?
1) The main gameplay and focus is shooting
2) the Iron sight is messed up and its beyond me how it got out of beta testing
3) the Dot is a few millimeters too high to be align
4) the developers aren't eldritch creatures they to do mistakes

Nah mate reading the 9 posts before you necroed would've given you the info already. But reading is too hard I guess. You just wanted attention so you necroed. There wasn't a fix here and you knew it.

Just a whiny little attention seeker.
