I use the DS3.

I agree, we should just revert to chromosome's aiming, it was great.

If i move the right analog stick a little to adjust my aim, it moves too much. I end up having to correct my own aim constantly instead of well... aiming.... I use standard gear so every shot counts for me. Anyways, yanking the right analog stick left and right constantly in such a frantic, yet precise way tenses and hurts my wrist after a while, Ihis is just annoying, I'm not going to play this anymore, simply not worth the carpel tunnel honestly.

I use the Sixaxis controller (and I say "Sixaxis" because one of my controllers is old enough that it doesn't do Dualshock) as well.

In Chromosome, we had almost no aim scaling. We also had no aim acceleration. We also had a too-large deadzone even when turned down on the PSMove settings. It was better in some ways, but worse in others.

In Chromosome, if you turned the sensitivity up, tilting the stick only a little either produced no movement or too much for fine aim. If you turned the sensitivity down, you were stuck with reduced turn speed. In Uprising, on release, you were stuck with a small tilt producing almost the full movement speed, but after the fix, this has been improved and you can use fine aim while also having high controller sensitivity. Unfortunately, the scaling ruins it, because if you keep the stick tilted a small way for an extended period, like you would when trying to track a slow-moving target, you instead have your turn speed gradually ramp up the longer you keep going. I'm still not comfortable with aim acceleration, and I still want the ability to turn it off, because of exactly this kind of scenario.

Also, in the early days of Chromosome, whether you had Aim Assist turned on or off, it randomly either did nothing or was glitchy and horrible, then they patched it so it kind of worked. I turned it off and left it off, because I don't like Aim Assist. In Uprising, if I turn Aim Assist off, then get within Shotgun range (about 5m) of an enemy, my controller sensitivity leaps to something like 200 and also undoes the improvements to aim scaling so just touching the right stick spins me almost 90 degrees before I can stop turning. Outside of CQC, it works fine, but I mostly run short-range weapons and spend a lot of time in close, so this is game-breaking for me. I don't like, or want, Aim Assist, but I'm forced to use it just to have a semblance of control in my preferred range bracket.

Sony should not have released the game on a day that would coincide with its name, without considering the lack of FPS MP experience of the developers.

I'm sure CCP would have wanted more time to polish things up before official release.

Publishers rock and suck at the same time. :/

That is so hilariously wrong you should get an award for being in the wrong galaxy. Considering we are playing DUST it might be valid.

Sony had nothing at all to do with that decision. They never have anything to do with decisions from developers and publishers that are not under direct control of Sony. Which, BTW, does not include CCP nor most game developers.

Thanks for the chuckle.

Are there any good sensitivity settings for a new player who plans on picking up an HMG or AR? I have little to no experience with FPS games so would it be viable to stay with the default settings whilst using a controller or is it all dependent on preference?

Fair enough. Can we just compromise and have the hip fire reverted back to chromosome? I'm adjusting to the med/long range but anything in cqc is totally out of control.

CCP says they don't think there's anything wrong with aiming. Make of that what you will. They obviously know what they're talking about.

Off course they don't. They are all sitting in their office playing with keyboard and mouse. So much for the console gamer... Guess I will have to play on my PC. OOPS! I can't its a PS3 Exclusive! Guess that doesn't mean console gamers actually use the controller...

Mouse is far worse than the controller right now. Don't be leave me? Plug em into the USB ports of your PS3 and have at it.

I still don't have real confirmation, but I think CCP is done tweaking. They moved their topic to the request/feedback section. I think that means give up and either go ds3 or go home.

Any other interesting games that anyone has tried worth recommending?

Sleeping dogs is frikin awesome, and free for plus members!!!

Obviously you don't listen too well.

CCP does know mouse aiming is fubared and they're currently bug hunting the one haunting the mouse users now.

DS3 is mostly done-ish though probably a few more minor tweaks.

DS3 is mostly done-ish? Can we get an option to turn off the acceleration?

I fear for that option would require a new patch if needed I am afraid.

I'll poke to see if its something that can be considered in the future or if its part of the game design.

I am still readjusting from the constant changes and still haven't gotten my 'dancing' shoes back on yet because of the constant changes.

CCP shouldn't be pushing anything onto us that we don't want, regardless of whether or not it is part of their "game design".

You shouldn't let them force feed you that excuse because they love the sound of their own voices. If it's bad, you need to communicate that it's bad, regardless of their flawed vision.

I understand that much, and it's going to take some time to get out of the boat we're in now.

Just don't let them make excuses every step of the way. I've known them for a decade and some of them get incredibly defensive about their bad decision making.

I would wager right now that they are still attempting to salvage this virtual joystick debacle rather than just giving us raw input with turning limits. Not because it's the right to do, but because, well... "Pride, son! It was a good idea and I'll go down with the ship at the cost of everyone elses fun!"

I'm merely saying, don't let that happen.
