Am I the only one not being able to use a controller in first-person games that usually require a mouse to look around / shoot / etc?

This is the reason I avoided buying and playing FPS games or ie Portal, BotW, etc. I find it clunky and first game I tried with sticks on the controller I dumped after the first 10 minutes and switched to playing on a PC, regretting spending the money.

I just prefer scrollers or fixed-cam games for this reason.

Maybe I’m old, but I don’t get the 30-minus year-olds being so agile with it.

Do you have any tips on improving myself on this?

  • I’m terrible with aiming things with the controller. Motion controls for aiming Link’s bows does help quite a lot. It feels pretty natural after a bit. But I’ve been playing shooting games on PC since 2013 so a mouse just feels so much better for aiming. I suppose if I had been big into CoD and Halo 15 or 20 years ago, I’d be much better at using sticks to aim.
