Of Crosshairs : Fallout: New Vegas

I personally turn the feature off in Fallout 3, and with ADS in NV will anyon else be joining me?
PS: I am going to play hardcoe Mode as well

Well I don't think I will, but I don't see it hurting me either because I'll be using the improved iron sights mostly, and some VATS on the side.

That might be a fun idea :tops:

It makes you aim more. On my first playthrough of Fallout 3 with it off i ran out of ammo occasionally and always had a baseball bat.

Well I can pick up stuff in the real world without a crosshair, so why not!

you still see the name of things you look at so there is no REAL detriment unless you cant aim.

Maybe I worded it wrong but I was agreeing with you lol.

No misunderstanding, It was an assurance.

I used the crosshairs to aim. I guess I could just follow the tracer rounds and adjust accordingly, Since the choices were crossharis or "shoot from the hip" I chose crosshairs. When I use big guns I don't pay attention tot he crosshairs though.

You dont need them to aim REALLY, after a few minutes you do just as well w/out them as w/ them.

I prefer to play without them as well, i like the absolute minimal HUD.

I will be going with no crosshair and no HUD, maybe i'll role play and put the HUD back on if I get a powered helmet. I don't need the sneak warning and compass or anything else. All I need now is a realtime pipboy and i'd be happy.

With iron sights I won't be needing crosshairs. The center of the screen is pretty easy to fathom from the hip.

I use a PS3 so i am stuck with HUD

As long as I don't encounter a situation where I have to pick up a lot of '(1) Microfusion Cells', I should be good. Damn simulation.

Nah. I'll also be playing in hardcoe mode. And I own and shoot guns in real life as well. But I play Fallout for a bit of escapism, so it doesn't bother my that I'm roleplaying a cowboy awesome enough to hit people while shooting from the hip, just like in those over-the-top action movies. If I want more realistic shooting... I'll go take one of my guns out and shoot it for real. :gun:
