Difficult and fake are two different things entirely.
Move your finger up.. where does it go? It goes UP. So why do i mimic moving up with my mouse only to have the game say no, sorry, we won't let you aim up... we don't want you to get to that pixel.. no sir.. That is not difficulty, that's fake... and thats frustration.. has nothing to do with skill..
This game is simulation. but the shooting is arcade.. and not even fun arcade. that's just outright wrong.
The only reason i bring iron sites into the picture is to emphasis there is zero fun in scope shooting. And again holding breath is irrelevant.. the aim fights your movement.. how is that simulation..
I've never sat on a range going.. ya know.. that shot is hard.. the gun keeps wanting to go down, i cant move it up to get hit the bullseye... NEVER
Nor have i ever waited for the sway to bounce around till it came back and swayed into the desired "sweet spot" before pulling the trigger.. i aimed.. i fired.. i never fought a gun sight lining ever.
