I just wanted to see what other's opinions are about the mod/why should it be banned. I personally don't think of it as an issue seeing as i play with keyboard and mouse, but for others its the only way they play/run SA, and many other games. One one hand i can see how some of the original founders of this community want to keep how they like it, but at the same time many people view it as them being pushed away from the community. Just wanted to have a discussion.

It modifies the game to add features not included in the game, namely, the ability to switch aiming schemes without using the main menu, which is not possible in the vanilla game.
@Powdinet really? I didn't know that at all, even as someone who has switched schemes to try nines and ak's i didn't know G-input made switching easier. Now here's me next question, do you think the time lost for having to stop and fix accidental lock ons is any consellation for you guys who don't use controllers? Also, when you grab the rifle and shoot the people off the quad bikes in small town bank (i think that's the mission don't quote me), the fact that the sensitivity of the joy stick eliminating the possibility for manually aiming at the targets, whilst we can do it much easier, isn't that something to consider?
The only thing to consider is what is in the game and what isn't. The game requires you to go through the menu to switch schemes. Using a mod to bypass this should never have been allowed, regardless of the timesave.
There are alternatives to G-Input that are allowed and don't alter the game in this way, and they have been posted in the past.
yeah Powdinet you and the others make a good point. I think there are three problems with this debate/poll going on.
-
the people who say g input should be allowed are misinformed. Now i use KB+M, but i didn't know that there was a alternative to g input, and would like to think that many of the runners who use g input don't know either (benefit of the doubt)
-
A lot of the supporters of banning g input are being kind of condescending. To my knowledge Hugo is one of the only runners who uses g input, and has a relatively big following on twitch. of course people are going to flock to his opinon, but instead of shooting people down you guys should try to educate people.
-
some people just don't want to learn. obviously this is the back side to #2 argument/problem. i haven't gotten through the "15 pages of cancer" yet so i don't know what else was said, but it seems like some of the people who argue B don't know a whole lot about the game. And i think that's why a lot of you guys bring up "oh well you don't run the game/have a time on the LB" or "your account was made 0.00005 seconds ago so you can't say anything" if we all just stepped back and re-informed everybody i think the useless arguing could stop. or maybe its just because i like to argue and debate lol
The GTA:SA community has been deteriorating over a long period of time. Many top runners are not currently present on the leaderboard. This issue has not been seriously addressed yet, but an attempt will be made to remedy it now.
As of this news post, the San Andreas leaderboard will function in
