I wish I could understand better the arguments people are making for the controls. Like, I get that it's a non-issue for these people -- that, for whatever reason, they are perfectly happy with how the game feels.
But there's just no way they aren't struggling with them at the same time. You can't tell me you haven't missed the easiest shot of your life because the responsiveness wasn't there (or use whatever term you prefer -- the "weightiness" kicked in at the wrong time). Or that you were trying to do something super fucking simple like walk from point A to point B, or pick something up, and that moment didn't come attached with some awkwardness where, if someone were watching you play, they'd swear you were fucking stoned because you're just going back and forth missing whatever hot spot you need to have.
If people can smile and say "Yeah, all that happens, but I don't give a shit and -- what's more -- I like that", THEN I can totally get and understand it all. But if you're saying the above doesn't happen because you've somehow acclimated to latency or, when manually aiming, you have God's gift to man in terms of aiming ability, then I simply don't believe you.
I believe you're crutching like crazy on the aim-assist / auto-aim because it's the easiest way to get headshots (not realistic at all), and I'll believe you're doing the dead-eye every chance you get (again, not realistic), and but I'm not going to believe that people are getting perfect shots off like a hardened cowboy in this game, or that the movement is exacting and you never look stupid trying to do something as fundamentally simple as getting on your horse, or switching a weapon.
I'm more than happy to entertain that these aren't considered problems to some, or that they don't care that these things happen, but if people are saying these things don't happen on a frequent basis with the game then I guess I'll never understand the argument, because I cannot possibly buy that based on my 25 hours or so with the game.
