    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.

      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.

      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.
