ZakKa: ". In a game where your target determines which direction you’ll dive when you dodge, or leap when you attack, being unable to switch to the right enemy is often fatal."
lol that's not even true, aiming with the mouse decides your target. Just another one who just doesn't know how to play the game and is whining because he sucks at the game.
You can aim with the mouse yet you have auto aim instead of a crosshair. You can check this easily in front of training dummies. The one in front of the camera is selected and if you turn around it remains selected until the targeting system decides that another is in sight and aims it.
I said in front of the camera because auto aim also works on targets
behind Geralt.
This is worse in a fight when enemies move around like crazy and auto aim shifts from one to another making it more difficult to select a specific target to attack.
Compare this to the aiming system from The Witcher and you will see the difference.
The only advantage of the auto aim system is that it is a lot easier for controllers but it can be frustrating for people that prefer the precision of a mouse.
