I guess this should be an appropriate community, participants possibly on the older side... so, I only recently got my first gamepad. played with keyboard and mouse up until then.
so, with a couple of games I tried (tomb raiders, uncharted, NFS, etc) it's kinda going but I suck at anything that needs fast responses, like aiming and hitting moving enemies; don't think I'd have any trouble with a mouse.
so I guess my question is - any old timers around that got good at this late in their gaming career?
I can't play anything that requires precision aiming with a controller.
A Steam Controller though? I'm way better. Especially with the gyro aiming or micro adjustments on the touchpads.
I know they are discontinued but as someone like you who had a rough time with those types of games without a mouse, I'd see if you can find a steam controller on ebay or something.
But I don't play FPSes at all any more really. And with games like cyberpunk, I'm always more stealth than action oriented so it hasn't been a problem. And when I have to use a normal controller and am forced to aim, I heavily rely on aim assist settings. I don't care 😂
I got a Steamdeck recently and I really love the Trackpads. They feel way closer to the precision I get with a mouse than with a stick. Grown up mostly on PC and always struggled a little with gamepads
