I do agree that the aiming thing needs to get tweaked. Point blank shots have a notorious tendency to miss, from what little I’ve heard about shooting, cuz anyone can still wiff a perfectly good shot if they’re close enough to bump their forehead on the end of the barrel. Panic happens, knee-jerk reaction happens.
There should be an ideal range where you’re actually very likely to hit the target outside of melee range, because to be quite honest that’s what most of my experience with guns have been: ranged melee fights. I don’t dare fire until they’re dangerously close because of how precious ammo tends to be, and anything that has relatively cheap ammo is, in essence, a melee weapon anyway, because I can’t ever reliably hit something at any appreciable range.
TL:DR; I’m dissatisfied with the aiming mechanics. I should never be able to ALWAYS hit something, but when I usually can and when I usually can’t right now doesn’t feel right. I don’t have much respect for ranged weapons as a result because most of them are borderline useless and to be honest, I’d rather just take two steps forward with a shovel than blow a round of my sniper rifle that I can only ever use as a shotgun anyway.
