I do like the motion controls a lot of early PS5 games had. It’s a shame that devs seem to have forgotten how to implement it in just a few short years. For God of War Ragnarok and Days Gone it was a game changer. It just gives you that last few inches of accuracy that the stick doesn’t have.

Over time I completely lost the ability to play a shooter with the controller. I just can’t hit anything after close to a decade of playing with just mouse and keyboard. 15 years ago it was the other way round for me.

Yeah. I spent an ungodly amount of time on halo 3 and ODST on the 360 back in the day. Then I eventually got a PC and in just a couple years trying to play a shooter with a controller gave the game feel equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

I played the original HALO when it came out and did awfully at it.
I recently bought the PC Master Chief collection and was surprised it was so easy since I’d had so much trouble with the original.
Then I realized the difference was controller vs. m+k. Controllers are good for some styles of games, but IMHO, shooters ain’t one of them.

I’ve never been able to aim and shoot (and hit anything) with a controller, glad to see I’m not the only one.
Controllers are best for platformers imo. I actually hook up a controller to my PC for most platform games.

Oh man, when I played The Last of Us on my flatmates Playstation because it wasn’t on PC at the time, I died like four times to the first few tutorial zombies. It really took a while for me to pick it up enough for even that kind of simple PvE action.
