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 mostly prefer to play FPS on the PC, but the Switch having gyro controls on a number of FPSes is the next best thing. Sticks alone feels like auto-aim BS most of the time, but stick gyro does a decent job of replicating the feel of aiming with a mouse in a different form factor. IMO, Sticks+gyro is the future. It’s just a shame people dismiss it without trying because of experiences back on the Wii.
