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?

    Everyone keeps mentioning autoaim, but my friends and I would play with it off or turned down since its get in the way, I guess modern cod does have stronger auto aim, but it still swings towards the general direction and you have to correct it, plus everyone has auto aim so you have to actually aim and go for headshots if you want to beat the other ppl to the punch

      Just open up any shooter with a target practice mode, or just go out there and die til you get good, time is all it takes

        Playing GTA with a controller has been insanely easier than M&KB since I switched. Not just the aim assist, but the ease of doing practically everything makes it faster and smoother. Well… Except drive-bys. No aim assist when shooting from a car and you need ALL THE BUTTONS making it awkward lol
