GTA IV - is it just me or is the shooting clunky/slow?

I recently began replaying the game and it seems that Niko really walks slow and is clunky in his movements, especially with gun to gun combat. There is no doubt that the combat has improved, but I still feel like the actual game is hindering my ability to kill people, this is certainly not worthy of a AAAA (AAA tho). Anyone else have this problem

Its not you. I kinda feel the same actually. Still an awesome game.

The game has a slow update for movement/input.

Gun combat was way to easy imo.

Felt similar to Uncharted. It wasn't the best, but it was fine. It'll be improved in newer games.

play it on PC, and the gunplay is much better.

Game is still horrible though imo. For a 10/10 rated game.

yes it does, but then again it's not a shooter game Wings_008

The GTA games have never had good shooting mechanics. Can't say it's ever bothered me, though.

What I hated the most was the delay when switching weapons.

That, and taking cover was clunky.

The entire game was slow. Niko's animations just felt so sluggish, I really just didn't have fun:(

They really should of done what Gears of War and a lot of games are doing with the whole picking weapons thing. Changing weapons is a pain in the arse in GTA IV.

I preferred the combat/cover system in GT4 more than Mass Effect (which I think Iwas more clunky and awkward.)

(hides.)

Niko has weight to his movement, which feels alot more real. It works well with the physics engine and how reactive it is to a.i.skrat_01

This ^^^ I never had problems with the gameplay.

I only had problems with the online portions of the game.

This is coming from somebody who thought that Gears did the cover system wrong.
