Why you should change your aiming settings in The Last of Us
Ойындар
Here's a detailed overview of the aiming settings in The Last of Us Part II (which also applies to Part I on controller). This should answer a lot of the questions I've been asked! Ultimately, the settings are a matter of personal preference, but there are a few things you should adjust to make hitting your shots easier and more consistent.
0:00 Intro
0:35 What is pre-aim?
1:25 Shooting in 30 fps
3:38 Acceleration
5:29 Ramp Power
8:54 Aim Assist
10:36 Sensitivity
12:35 Reticle Type
14:03 Other Settings
15:02 Outro

This advice applies best to the original version of TLOU2, as some settings have changed in the Remastered version. I would love to get a PS5 and release an update to this video, but I'm not sure I can truly justify purchasing one yet. If YOU want to put out a video discussing aiming settings in TLOU2 Remastered, then go for it! If you put one out and link this video in your upload, then I'll put a link to your video in this comment if I think it's done well!

Unfortunately the Remastered version adds a slight bit of latency when aiming. I’ve done a lot of testing between the 2 versions, especially since I prefer motion controls (which was almost a nightmare when moving over to the remastered) and the ps4 version definitely feels snappier than the remastered version. I’d love to try No Return with the snappiness of ps4 Part 2

I remember watching this video 3 years ago crazy how fast time flies. Congratulations on the amount of views you’ve gotten overtime. Now that The Last Of Us Part II has been officially remastered, I'm looking at the settings and they’ve been altered quite significantly. Maybe u should take a look and make a follow up this video now that the game is rendered at 60 FPS with even more camera and aiming sensitivity options available.

How do I turn off aiming while in motion
The circle represents the spread of the aim. The wider the circle, the less accurate the shot will be. But the circle represents anywhere the shot CAN land, which means it can land outside of the center. So just because your target is inside of part of the circle doesn't guarantee the shot will land on your target. The target has to be fully inside that circle to guarantee that. However, because there IS a spread, using the dot is less precise, since you can have the dot aligned with the target and the shot can spread outside that dot, potentially missing. Personally I do like some acceleration as I do think we often press the stick a little too much at the start and acceleration helps control the start of the aim a little closer to what our mind expects, and is also better when you have a good pre-aim. Kind of like how when we do animation, you need a bit of a smooth transition at the start or it will feel wrong. Our minds just expect that kind of transition, and so not having that can be a problem. The analog nature of the stick helps solve that partially, but not totally. I might not use full acceleration, but some is probably okay. The ramp setting I think will vary significantly depending on what sensitivity you use, because if you have a higher sensitivity, you'll want a slower minimum speed to balance it out. Kind of annoying that it does those jumps though instead of doing a smooth analog transition.

@@scarlettthehuman Yes I know, but if you don't use the circle you don't know where the spread probabilities are, that's what I'm saying. So just because the center dot is on the target, doesn't mean the bullet will land exactly there. The circle does a better job illustrating that I think. Especially if you have a tendency to fire very quickly after drawing as the spread is wider at the beginning of the aim, or if you use guns that have wider spread like the shotgun a lot.

@@AndyGilleand I see where you're coming from. Also, the circle doesn't represent the max discrepancy. It's about 3x the max discrepancy, with the bullet landing either on the center, 15% from the center to the circle, or occasionally 30% from the center to the circle

Such a well made video and a smart explanation of things. Totally unexpected. I’m watching cuz im playing the game in another language that i am not comfortable with but I wanna excel at and watching a video on controller setting will make my experience more enjoyable. Kudos
Awesome analysis, Scarlett! I appreciate the hard work into making this video.
Great video love the way you breakdown why adjusting the settings is important and what it exactly does.
Your comment about the ain assist and not being able to develop consistent muscle memory brings about a key point in my mind; the development team went really into getting the desperation out of every single encounter. Different every time, protagonist is a kid with chucks on so the wonkiness if the controls almost serves to groom the players experience toward missing shots and having to find or craft more ammo, raising the tension even further. I'll admit, I thought I was loosing my mind when I would jump the trigger and miss my shot. It's almost like real life if you're not trained to break the trigger on target and you pull to one side.
It's crazy cool that Naughty Dog decided to put all of these settings and customization into the game. Although I have only recently finished the game and also only recently learned about these things.... It definitely would have helped me with my first playthrough.. Haha Great Video! I will surely be keeping these points in mind for my New Game Plus run! :)

Thank you so much for this video because I was having a time with default settings and understanding the advanced mechanics and control settings. This has helped my gameplay so much and I’ve since then applied gyro-aiming, which is also a game changer for precise shooting for someone with heavy thumbs! Lol Love your work! 🙏🏾
I know this is old but the dot reticle can show you the drop for the bow, you just have to make sure to put the dot over the enemy. It doesn't always work and works better with the default reticle but it still does work with just the dot. That's why I only use the dot now, plus I feel it helped my aim with all weapons and the bow, I can judge distance without the range finder dot now
I just recently looked over my setting and reset to default, and was confused about aim acceleration and ramp power, and referred to this video again after years. Great breakdown for these settings that I’m sure confuse most people. I’ve been gaming my whole life and never have I ever been confused with aim settings. The fact that the default for acceleration is 10, is insane. It’s almost like naughty dog wanted casual gamers to struggle, that sh** messes up you aim so bad 😂 and most people don’t even touch their settings other than sensitivity. This has probably frustrated so many people to the point where they only play on normal or just quit the game entirely
Great vid man,everything you explain has a purpose and makes the game way better
Very in depth video with critical information. Thanks man.
Hugely helpful my brother. Just about to play this game for the first time. I’m beyond excited....Thank you! 🙏🏻
I'm lucky enough to come through this great video before playing the game. Will definitely use this settings. Thanks a lot 😁
I’m on the part with the seraphites (my first play through of tlou2) and I think that these settings will help a lot, considering that a lot of people in the comments seem to have missed this in their first play through 😳💪
Came across this video the other day, havent been playing for a while, i tried these settings just for the hell of it and bro wtf landing headshots like this is easier than auto aim, gg nice work
Hey ! Thanks for the tips ! Just tried it today. It’s much better.
This is a highly straightforward, understandable video, even tho i got the previous build without aim Acceleration, this video helped me

Inspired by games with mandatory aim acceleration and low max sensitivity. (TLoU 1) I think about joystick settings a lot and you did this very well. I hope game devs up their standards for personalization and compatibility with other games. RDR2 and R6 Siege make me feel like I’ve never held a controller.
Incredibly helpful. Thank you.
Awesome tips! Subbed
How does the dot reticle work in regards to accuracy? With the circle it gradually gets smaller as you aim and is most accurate at its smallest. If you just use the dot you don’t know when it’s at full accuracy.
