My friend and I were discussing how everybody is angry at the GTA3 aiming system. There is nothing wrong with it. I have had no problems whatsoever with shooting an old granny in the face with my shotgun. Anyways, I noticed one problem when I popped in GTA: Vice City. Its the same damn thing! All they did to the aiming is that they put a rainbow around somebody instead of a blue box! So, I am asking you, what the hell is wrong with the GTA3 aiming system?

Heh, I just run them over with a car. If I wanted all that, I'd play a FPS.
(Yes, I know you can't pass the missions with out shooting people, I'm just being silly.)

Gamers today, they want EVERYTHING done for them. Why, when I was your age we didn't have "threat meters" or blue outlines around targets or anything "automatic". If you aimed and missed, you missed. Killing bad guys back then was a matter of sheer skill, not a given that was partially managed by the game program.
You didn't see auto-aiming in Galaga. Or Space Invaders. Or even Tempest, dagnabbit. Learn how to aim, and then begin killing with extreme prejudice. Only then will you know the way of the hardcore gamer.
Here endeth the lesson.

I'll have to agree with Joe on this one. There are way to many new games with auto-aiming features and extra gadgets designed to make the game easier. Sometimes some of these games give me no competition at all...but sure are real pretty to look at..hah! Still, I'd rather have it the other way around.

Besides, long range your shots aren't as effective with the pistol, sub-machine gun and especially the rifle (they tend to take 2 shots to stay down for good) as they are close range..just realistic really.

Hey Butta, who needs to be accurate with a machine gun?
Especially when you have flamethrowers around...(forgive me if these aren't in VC, I still just have GTAIII). And I honestly never real the rule book with GTAIII, I have no idea how to auto-aim, and I've had no problem with hitting my target...

Katana is in A Game?
Iron Monkey uses Katana for Reap sugarcane.

I dont know what the hell you are all talking about, but I have NEVER had a problem with the GTA3 aiming system. I have always hit people with great distance too.
