Poll: V.A.T.S. vs. Dead Eye

[imaloony]

So, straight up, which is the better special shooting ability? The Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System from Fallout 3 (And New Vegas), or the quickdraw skilled shooting of Red Dead Redemption's Dead Eye?

Personally, I'm torn between the two. They're both cool and useful as hell, but seeing how you can buff V.A.T.S. to hell, and Dead Eye gets somewhat worse from level 2 to 3, and V.A.T.S. can get you really good closeups on really gruesum kills, I'll give the slight edge to V.A.T.S.

So tell me, which do you prefer? V.A.T.S., or Dead Eye?

Wow. That's a tough one. I've got to go with VATS, though, simply because it hasn't gotten old for me, even after a LOT of Fallout 3 playing.

VATS hands down! Especially when the Mysterious Stranger appears to assist.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Dead Eye. It doesn't need any of them "percentages".

 

[CoverYourHead]

VATS by far. With Dead Eye I often accidentally shoot innocents when in large fire fights, and VATS makes everyone explode... so beautiful...

Dead Eye. It doesn't need any of them "percentages".

You fairies and your numbers. On topic: I just think VATS is prettier and more interesting.

 

[infinity_turtles]

VATS makes everyone explode... so beautiful...

That reminded me of the last three second of this.


Anyway, I prefer dead-eye. The fact that time freezes during vats dull down any excitement that's going on. For me anyway.

You can also unload an entire clip needlessly into one enemy just to see his face asplode.

no vs threads... and vats

I like dead eye since you can burst into a room in slow-mo, identify targeets mark them all on the head for for 100% hit and kill chance, and take them out.

VATS is better in theory, Deadeye is better in practice.

 

[Warped_Ghost]

VATS
I just compared the 2 games combat systems and I like fallout more because there was a challenge to the gameplay.
Red Dead was way too easy for me because if there is ten guys all you have to do is activate dead eye and get 10 insta head shots and your done.

 

[Fralf]

vats, man I pressed that button more times than the trigger

 

[Nfritzappa]

So does this mean RDR is an RPG?

I hate dead eye because you basically needed it if you went on the hardest aiming difficulty, which sucked because that was the only way to make that easy game, hard. V.A.T.S. just made me bored after using it like 15 times in one entanglement of a couple bandits (I'm exaggerating of course). Out of all the "aiming assist" abilities, I likes the reflex mode in F.E.A.R. mostly because I use it to get head shots with the shotgun.
