It might be better on the PC but on the console it looks painfully awkward because of the lack of auto aim. This game engine isn't a shooter engine and that's probably part of the reason ironsights didnt exist in Fallout 3 and part of the reason VATS was so heavily used.

On PC it was great with mods that put it in Fallout 3.  I can't speak for consoles.

Looks fine to me.

Adding stuff like iron-sights will highlight how much this game aint a shooter. V.A.T.S all the way. 

" Looks fine to me. "

I see a lot of people use it in the livestreams 

Iunno what you you people are talking about when you say shit like "VATS all the way" and "THIS GAME NOT SHOOTER".
I never had any trouble  hitting people without vats, and vats didnt add any damage bonuses for my character as far as I know. 
Vats is fun to use for the camera angles and stuff, but other than that, all it really does is let me stop and think about what I'm gonna do for a second. since my characters were never based around VATS use and generally never got more than one use of VATS per encounter.
If anything, it's all about Luck and Criticals...And bloody mess. Every pistol shot becomes some sort of armor piercing explosive round at that point.

who cares about ironsights? 
2 of my favorite shooters of the past 5 years didn't need them why does this?

You can turn it on and off, if you like. 

People take aim using something other than VATS?

Do we really need to have the Fallout is an RPG not a FPS discussion again?

The game looks ass so what difference does it make?

Oddly enough, the aiming in Fallout 3 never bugged me. Vats pretty much took anything down, and if it didn't, it just shot off a few rounds beforehand and the task was done. 
I know that the aiming did really bother my friends though.

Oh wow I didn't know that New Vegas had iron sight aiming in it. So is the shooting better?

I will reserve judgment until I actually play the game.

The game is out yet?

A LOT od things looked kinda funky in the media i have seen so far... i wondered why they didn't check this stuff before releasing the media... stuff that looks like high sensitivity while aiming (probably adjustable), janky movements and whatnot... but i figure it's still gonna be as addictive as the first game.  It has that Oblivion / Dead Rising feel too it.... it's not perfect but it's got all the right stuff.
Silly issues didn't ruin these other games for me.  Though the random dialogue in Oblivion was challenging.
Citizen 1: Good Day!
Citizen 2: Did you know Cairn Bolete can be found in caves?
Citizen 1: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

It's easier just to use the default reticle so you can walk backwards from foes.

It works amazingly great if you have looser thumbsticks such as those thumbstick extenders or the standard PS3 thumbsticks. Anything with leverage or just a mouse and keyboard. It's not as bad as you think, and it works pretty well. 

I disabled the ironsights  in the options, which leaves you with whats in the video that infininja posted.

Hilariously enough, there are mods for Fallout 3 that handled ironsights/general combat better than New Vegas.

Just checked out a couple videos of this.  What's the point in being able to switch to iron sights mode if the sights still don't line up properly?

Just do what I do. Equip a shotgun, run right up to the bad guy, target the dudes face, and let VATS do the rest.

I'll still stick primarily to VATS, but the iron sight aiming is a vast improvement over Fallout 3's aiming system. I wasn't able to hit the tiny bugs early on in the game, but I'm guessing that once the targets get bigger, it'll be a lot more useful, especially when I've run out of AP points.

I prefer the iron sights to V.A.T.S now. Usually use V.A.T.S if I feel like I need a boost to even the odds

Hey don't like shooting stuff? Then do what I do, get a sledgehammer and beat the fuck out of the NCR. FUCK THE NCR.

i like the ironsight... it gives you 100% hit chance (or is it? always seemed to hit even if my VATS was giving me 5% chance) when you use it, very useful in sneak attack.

haha sarasm doesnt work at all in text form. (well not for me) 

Yea i hate going outta your way to bash on games. Makes you look like a douche. 

I hate iron sights period is all. Well, maybe not as a rule... there's cases... I don't like it when I have to do it to hit something 5 feet away. Fallout looks like it handles that better though, so no problem. 
..I don't even know what I just said.

The iron sights are fantastic, great for shooting and aiming.  I only use VATS if I need breathing room or a little extra kick, which is pretty infrequently. 

points in agi, pearks in AP, and just use VAT to fight :)  
 
i use a 360 controller on the PC (played on a HDTV) and there is no way you can aim well with it :) 
also, fighting is dice rolls anyway.. so you aren't being judged by your mouse aim'n skills anyway.
