Option to TURN OFF Auto Aim Please!
Please give us an option to TURN OFF auto AIM/LOCK and stay on Easy Combat Difficulty!

I also want this, its insane you go to aim at one guy and the game grabs your gun and elastic bands you way across the screen to what it "thinks" you want to shoot at, its far to aggressive.

No, thats what difficuity setting are for. If you have to play on easy then you get auto-aim. Goto normal setting and problem solved. There can't be that much of a difference in combat from easy to normal. Unless you think the game is to hard to play in the first place.

Easy
- Aim assist enabled
- Enemies have lower health and do less damage
- Ammunition boxes are plentiful

Normal
- Enemies have normal health and damage
- Ammunition boxes are rare

Thank you, but I already knew that. Point being auto-aim is off. The difference in combat is what....... maybe, 2 arrows, 3-4 rounds extra from the rifle or pistol. Minor case in point, she's not gonna run out of ammo. Take it to the next level (hard) and thats where TR is meant to be played anything less can be played with 1 eye closed and 3 broken fingers and still come out on top.

Ammunition still isn't really rare, though, and enemies don't have that much more health. I played my first time through on easy and was also annoyed by the auto-aim, but playing it through a second time on "One With the Jungle" and the combat isn't really much more difficult. The main place I see the difficulty expressed in this game is in not showing climbable surfaces or giving hints during puzzles.

I didnt run out of ammo playing on Hard . . . just use more the bow (like 95% of the time, basically weapons used on boss and some surrounded situations, mostly the shotgun) than the weapons and everything is fine.

Or, you know, let the player tailor the level of difficulty themselves. Turn off aim-assist, turn off audible hints when you're using Witcher Sense/Batman sonor/Explorer view/etc, make enemies dumb and squishy.

It's entertainment, not work. Taking more shots to kill and making enemies more difficult are not the same thing. Smarter enemies who use cover and tactics like the player would makes enemies more difficult. The same t-shirt you wear on Easy will not stop bullets any more on hard, and a bullet to the face should be a game-ender on Legendary just like it is on Easy.

Or . . . deal with it?
Game is not hard anyway . . .

If he want auto-aim, set on easy, if he dont want auto-aim, set to normal or hard the options are there and explained.

"But I want the hardest mode with auto-aim!!!"
"But I spend too much ammo without auto-aim!!!"
"But I want easy mode but without auto-aim!!!"
. . . git gud or accept how good/bad you are and how the game is?
You dont have to be the best or to beat everything (neither to finish the game) to enjoy it.

Games come with game design choices (or not) by the devs for a reason.

There are some games that allow you to choose every aspect of difficulty separately, but it is not the case for this game, and I doubt there will be any upgrades that will allow you to do that, so basically, just get used to this, or change the difficulty.

And 90% of the time, that reason is a lack of ability on the devs' part.

Why didn't Dead Rising 2 and beyond have Infinite Mode? Because Blue Castle-renamed-Capcom Vancouver couldn't do it.
Why doesn't SOTTR have a more customizable difficulty setup where you can turn on/off individual features? Because the devs did not have the programming skill to implement that.

There is always that 1 guy...
Not everyone wants hunt for ammo, I was looking for an easy first time around but i don't want auto aim either.

Same here, like to play easy but don't want to aim assist

Just play on the hardest mode. This game is a joke in terms of combat challenge, even on the hardest mode.

Come on, people. Even if you die on hard, you respawn right at the start of the area where you died...there's barely even a penalty for it. So averse to challenge that you can't even TRY it?

It's been some time since I went back into the settings to change anything. But if your not using the keyboard and mouse, then the auto-aim is only in the controller.

The keyboard and mouse do not auto-aim. You have control over what she does.
