| Zkuq said: I think aim assist is probably mostly just compensation for the inferior control method rather than intentional dumbing down. That said, I do think having an analog stick is mostly an advantage for movement, but it's definitely a disadvantage for aiming. Unfortunately there are no popular options for analog movement with mouse controls, so that control scheme is probably not well supported in practice. |
VR ;) (although you said no popular options, I wish VR was popular ugh)
I also don't find analog control for movement at all advantageous. It's needed for twin stick to use side ways movement for fine aiming or to compensate for the slower turn speed running around corners. Yet with KB+Mouse just 4 movement directions are fine, preferably with instant start/stop, no sliding nonsense. In VR with analog movement I'm mostly compensating for the annoying "move in the direction you're looking" control scheme. My ideal is having a neck, analog control rotates the body independent of head movement.
