Do you use auto-aiming?

[twistedmic]

Do you use the auto-aiming features (auto-lock on, aim assist etc) when playing FPS and Sandbox games? For the most part I dis-able the auto-aim features as soon as possible. though I sometimes keep aim-assist on.
For example, both times I played through GTA4 I turned off the auto-aim right away and stuck to free-aim. But on the Bio-Shock games I kept aim-assist on, and for the M-rated Call of Duty games (Modern Warfare, World at War and Modern Warfare2) I used the quick-aim lock-on feature.

never on FPS games. and rarely on anything else. just cause 2 forces me to use it, but i'm not bothered about that seeing as the gun fighting on that isn't the best in the world!

I dont use it ever... cuz I'm a man... with a penis

 

[Echo136]

I always turned it off. If Im playing an FPS I dont want the computer to be playing the game for me.

Us PC gamers do not understand what this "auto-aiming" business is about.

CS has aim assist.
Hah! Just messes up my headshots...
GTA IV has auto-aim.
Hah! I have balls!
Call of Duty has aim assist.
Hah! It changes targets on me!

So no.

It depends on how good the regular aiming is, if I can hit stuff without then I tend to turn it off.

 

[Kwaren]

I never do and I leave rooms that have it enabled. I think it's cheating in a way.

 

[Marter]

On a couple games I do, like in Resistance: Retribution, because it would be really hard on my thumb to play without it.

 

[Druyn]

I take it off on everything but Just Cause 2. Impossible to do it any other way on that, but for the rest, it just gets in the way.

I am too confused about this term, is it an obscure way of selling your gaming soul?

Depends on the game. I don't play FPS games, but I turn it off in games I play that have it, in most cases.

auto aim? but surely a just a mouse keyboard and a little skill eliminates the need for this so i to am confused

I keep it on for sandbox games like inFamous and Just Cause 2 because the enemy will spot and shoot you when they're about 4 pixels high. Always turn it off on FPS games.

I would not care if it was, for I have already sold my soul.

For a PC...you never want auto-aim. Play the game yourself.
