I'm not kidding when I say I'd play Machinist again if they allowed an option to turn off heated shot animations. An insane far cry from the aim: (body part) type of gunner Mustadio and fusiliers were. Cleaner shot was the most ridiculous thing, and even that looked like they at least tried to line up the shot.

And then when I actually did play it again, I'd be concerned about the flamethrower clunkiness and other gameplay stuff. If people are wondering if the ridiculous animations have to do with Machinist's unpopularity and act as a barrier to main, I can use myself as an example of people that repelled by that kind of thing.
