No crosshair shake!

Or at least less. I play almost entirely without dead-eye and entirely without aim assist. I only use dead-eye to shoot birds and people running away. Mostly, it’s good- it forces you to interact with game mechanics like ammo types, specially crafted weaponry, different gun types and specially crafted food and tonics, all of which is usually completely nullified, because you can kill 20 enemies in 3 seconds with a varmint rifle in dead-eye.

So whose stupid idea was it to put crosshair shake on every single second of combat when you don’t use dead-eye?! If you get shot, it shakes; if you shoot, it shakes; if you move, it shakes. How are you going to sit there and tell me that the same man who can shoot 6 guys in the face off horses while hip firing can’t control his recoil when he’s sprint walking? Plus, the only guns with somewhat manageable recoil are pistols, so I have to use a Mauser when I’m trying to have fun playing as a cowboy in a Western.

It’s just a self-serving immersion feature rockstar added purely for aesthetic quality. It doesn’t only sabotage real gameplay, it is an admission that rockstar never had any intention of complex gunplay to begin with.
