I find that I prefer playing games on my PS5 so that I’m not battling Windows updates, spending a bunch of time tweaking settings, etc. But the shooter genre is something I’m finding very difficult on a controller. I grew up playing Unreal Tournament, Quake, etc., and I find it extremely easy to jump into games like Titanfall 2, Doom Eternal, Arc Raiders, and more on PC. But when I go to play them on console, it’s very very challenging. Returnal is something that I would breeze through like it was nothing on PC. But I like the plug and play nature of console, plus being able to play on my couch easily. The controller effects are fun too. But every time I miss a dumb shot on a suicide bomber enemy, it makes me frustrated. Same thing with Control, Horizon Zero Dawn, and any other game that makes you aim.
Is there a trick to it that I am missing?
Have you tried using motion control?
My aim with controllers isn’t as accurate as m+kb, however I can get pretty close with the right motion control / gyro setup. It’s unfortunately not a given in every game on PS5, but most first-party titles and a good chunk of FPS should offer something.
To be clear, I’m talking about motion control for micro-adjustments in addition to fast movement with sticks, not as a sole replacement for stick based input.
