True ironsights strange?

Post » Tue May 03, 2011 8:32 am

When I first started the game, I got my caravan pack bonus shotgun and was oh-so excited for the all-new ironsights. To my dissapointment, they move from my hip to my face in about a millisecond.
Everything is centered well, and I'm sure it isn't just me, so why are they doing this? I've tried disabling true ironsights and I can see that everything moves smoothly without them being centered, so why are they doing it now?
They really stretched how amazing the new ironsights were going to be, and that they would change combat and reduce the need for VATS, so you'd think they would put a little work into an animation...

I'm hoping they fix this or a mod comes around that can fix it, and if I'm missing something PLEASE inform me.
Of course, I'm still loving the game despite this small inconvenience, so don't think I'm hating or anything.

I turned off iron sights. Trying to aim with a round screw head is annoying.

From the gameplay videos ive seen im not fond of the recoil animations either. Im not expecting it to be as good as games that are dedicated FPS games but I wish they would have put more work into the animations.

It bugs me a bit as well, actually aiming with them is pretty nice though.

I can't stand playing in first person with iron sights, when you pull the gun up you see how atrocious the models look. Like N64 bad

Yea, the first person models are horrible. I've seen tons of mods with better models, so I expect that will be an area the community will improve upon.

The revolver is especially horrible.

When I first started playing that kind of jumped out at me too. But after a couple hours I didn't even notice.

I'm happy with the iron sights so far. At the lower levels at least, I'm able to hit targets much further away using iron sights than in VATS using weapons such as the Varmint Rifle, allowing me to save the VATS AP for when things get "up close and personal"...

I haven't gotten a scoped weapon yet, but I'm hoping scopes are just as useful if not moreso... :)
