Definitely agree. I'm not bad at free aim as I prefer FPSs but damn, I can't free aim for **** in Red Dead. That's why I use aim assist, just to properly orient myself. Kudos to everyone who has mastered legit free aim in its current state though. I'll never be THAT good.
Sad part is I was hoping this would have been more like RDR and less like GTA. Some players feel the other way and they won. I still enjoy the game, it's just not what it could have been.
