minus-squareOneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·19 hours agoYeah. 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.
minus-squaretoynbee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·16 hours agoI 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.
minus-squareEl_Scapacabra@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 hours agoI’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.
