Forgive my ignorance, but I just came across this and don't know what to make of it just yet. I could see gamers using it in Destiny Crucible.
What do you guys think? Would you buy the Hipshotdot? Apparently they sell is at Gamestop.

People who use this will never be good when it comes time for a LAN tournament....
-
Except, most game give you crosshairs already, I fail to see the point of this.
-
How much do you need to care a kd to buy this or how sad and pathetic do you have to be to buy this
-
This baffles me. I don't understand why any person would feel that they need or want this. Maybe there are people out there that are really out to sea when it comes to first person shooters.

Or just take some time to actually adjust your vision to where you [b]know[/b] where the weapon is aiming. This may be a game changer but I find it ridiculous. I see this all as the first rule of flying; [i] Love. You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down, tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home.[/i] [spoiler]Capt. Mal. Reynolds - Serentiy[/spoiler] Point being, if you have been playing video games for a long time and you're not sure where your weapon is going to be pointing, and you need one of these? I don't know what to tell you. As the last quoted mark goes: [quote]"It's just a gimmick to try and sell to people who are dumb." -Palindrome[/quote] and I agree with it.

Some people are just born to be douches. Im going to put a booger on the middle of my friends tv and charge him 40 bucks

Hunters and Warlocks need all the help they can get, all the power to them. Sincerely, Titan.

Considering most FPS games have spread patterns this is so incredibly useless and it blows my mind that someone has invested in a product like this. It isn't cheating it's more of a crutch for bad players. A good player will understand weapon spread and bullet registration through use.
-
I don't know if it's cheating or not but I can't believe that someone even came up with this lol mayb for beginners idk

Edited by TheSilentTiger: 8/9/2014 11:08:51 PMGo to the -blam!-ing dollar store and buy some string and post it notes and cut out a tiny little circle out from the sticky spot and boom! You have yourself a homemade hipster dot.
-
Yes it's cheating and if you even need it then you should not even be playing at all.
-
Cheating no doubt. Even my 11yr old brother called out that its cheating ffs, its quiet pathetic and i hope Destiny has their sights off centre just to screw ppl over who use this kind of sht. Makes me wanna get on CoD and kill some kids that use this to make them mad. MP is to test your skill against other players not be a no skill cnt that relies upon a dot on their T.V. Its funny how they say GOW3 is an FPS, the company obviously dose not know what an FPS is. Plus they think ppl need it for halo... Halo has its own blue dot why would you need it other than to get in the way. :/ the stupidity of american advertising never ceases to amaze me :/
-
To an extent yes it's cheating. You are crossing into a realm called meta gaming. Die hards will call you out for it and others just won't care. Personally, if you need something like this to play better then that's your problem. I prefer the idea of practice makes perfect... not 60 bucks wasted on a fancy red dot attached to a suction cup.

[u]ALLBLACK EVERYTHING[/u] https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Playstation/158922 ,we are looking for mainly titans and warlocks. We are a league so we are open to all consoles we have [b]50-60[/b] members but will cap at [b]120[/b] thanks for reading this!! [spoiler]https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Playstation/158922[/spoiler]

It circumvents mechanics built into a game: *simulates an extra weapon mod *negates the effects of an EMP grenade on your electronic sites ==cheating, imo
-
I feel if it negates the use of a lot of things in a game, then yes it is cheating. That call of duty example was basically saying "now you have 3 attachments for your gun". That's just messed up and anyone who uses this thing should be ashamed.
-
hahahahaha, worthless -blam!-ing twats
-
Personally, I don't think it's cheating, it's just for people that need extra help cuz they are bad at the game.......
-
I can't comment on cheating or not. But ppl do that? Lawl!
-
I'm at work, so I couldn't watch the video... But based on the thumbnail, it's a line you put on your screen to indicate the center? If that's all it is, no, I wouldn't call that cheating... It's not like it affects the accuracy if the gun itself.
-
Lol if you need to spend money on this then you must be terrible. Just like those "experienced gamers" they interviewed. Sounded like they rarely ever played FPS games from the way they talked.
-
I honestly prefer iron sights to red dots so..... lol
-
I think it doesn't matter, hip fire is always less accurate anyways
-
Honestly, no. Its really not. Because if your hip shooting, and you DON'T know where your shots are going to be.. Ya know the middle of the screen, then you might need the help anyway. Its basic gamer stuff to be able to hip shot accurately..
-
If my friend had this I wouldn't hesitate to call him a douchè
