I rarely find myself shooting for the head unless I was playing the SWAT halo game mode ha. I feel like when you play some players they duck so head shots will just completely miss.

What am I playing this weekend? Dark Souls. I rarely play two games at once. I just zone in and beat it. The last time I switched games was after putting like 80 hours in fallout 4. I had zero desire to go back so I try not to do that with games.

Shadow of the Colossus might be my next game after I beat dark souls. I'm really just buying time till spiderman/RDR 2 come out. Till then I'm just slowly knocking out games I completely missed because of....well...life getting in the way.

Quick edit - after reading some other comments about headshots. If it is against the AI then I just destroy people's heads. Online against human players it's a bit different.

Console has aim assist though for most games. No?
Yes but that doesnt stop me from aiming for the head. I dont think Halo 3 has aim assist. Shooters Like COD and BF do, but those games are less about precision than games like ARMA or PUBG.

Halo games have aim assist in two ways, auto-aim and bullet magnetism. It is one of the reasons it was so popular. Made it easier for beginners.

Destiny is kinda my main right now. I'm energy and power weapons away from 385. Currently working on perfect paradox, acrius, sleeper stimulant, and ep farming. Warmind definitely brought the grind back.

I always aim center mass unless I have a bolt action sniper. I feel like I don’t aim for headshots enough when I’m in some engagements. I’ll do it if I’m not being engaged by my opponent and I have time, but I feel like I could do a better job focusing on ending the fight faster by aiming at the head.

What about Destiny?

I played Destiny 1 on PS4 and Destiny 2 on PC. Those games are ridiculously easy to aim and line up head shots.

Destiny has both auto aim and bullet magnetism as well. It is a staple of Bungie. Halo's popularity made many other games use this too and now they are everywhere. It does make the shooting mechanics feel better.

I personally miss games like SOCOM which did not have any type of aim assist. Made the skill gap larger.

With that said Fortnite uses auto-aim for controller users. Which is a must IMO. As much as I would like them to not have it, going up against a keyboard and mouse player and not having auto-aim would be a disaster.

Auto aim is a blessing and a curse. Tracking enemies is terrible as it sometimes pulls you even though you are trying to lead a shot.

Who here played Fortnite on Switch?

I love this game on Switch but the lag sucks. Think it is a hardware issue with the Switch though.

For the past couple months i stopped gaming to dedicate all my free time to knocking out everything marvel before I saw infinity war . Now that I’m done with that I’ve jumped back on Divinity: original sin 1 and played all Saturday. I’m back hooked on it. The cinematics and story leave a bit to be desired (so used to the JRPG intense cut scenes) but damn the battle system is fun as hell and challenging.

After I’m done with it I was thinking about picking up Nier Automata for xbone until red dead 2 comes out

It's a bug. I was one of a few hundred on Reddit who it happened to yesterday. Now I get to wait for them to fix it. Any minute now
