Reticule problem in GTA 4

[Dan]

Hi guys. I'm currently doing a playthrough of GTA 4 singleplayer and I'm having a bit of trouble. How do I show an enemy's health on my reticule? I'm using free aim because the lock-on system is frustrating with the clunky cover system. Please help a fellow player out.

I don't remember there being one offline in GTA IV.

It's been ages since I've played IV, my brain is just full of V.

I did a search for such a thing and came up with zero. Sorry for my lack of help.

There wasn't an enemy healthbar shown in GTA IV.

I distinctly remember it being there. Unless it was an auto-aim thing. Either way, I remember there being about 8 or so little squares inside the large circle on the reticule. They went down after each hit.

I distinctly remember there being an option to turn "Reticule Health" on and off in the settings screen.

Pause, Display, Weapon target? Complex being with health perhaps?

I use complex all the time.

It's an Auto-Aim feature only.

Are you serious? -_-

Oh well. I completed IV's storyline already. I guess I'll just have to deal with it in TL&D and TBoGT.

Yeah, I switched from Auto-Aim to Free-Aim because it kept selecting the wrong targets, but by doing that the ability to see enemy's health was taken away. I don't know why, but... Yeah.

Have fun with TBoGT! Electro Choc and Radio Vladivostok are amazing in that DLC.

In a way, I am actually thankful for the cover and auto aim system being so bad because it made me teach myself how to play on free aim. I'm still doing what some would call "spray-and-pray" but I'm getting better.

Also, I thought Electro-Choc's new songs weren't really good, but Vladivostok FM's new ones were terrific.

True story, original EC was the bomb.

I have it on the iPod and regularly rattle the trunk with it.

Oh yes, Vladivostok FM and Electro Choc. 👍 I don't know who they hired as the radio coordinator for GTAIV but that person deserves an oscar.
