Controller vs mouse in console games (lemmy.world)

Am I the only one not being able to use a controller in first-person games that usually require a mouse to look around / shoot / etc?

This is the reason I avoided buying and playing FPS games or ie Portal, BotW, etc. I find it clunky and first game I tried with sticks on the controller I dumped after the first 10 minutes and switched to playing on a PC, regretting spending the money.

I just prefer scrollers or fixed-cam games for this reason.

Maybe I'm old, but I don't get the 30-minus year-olds being so agile with it.

Do you have any tips on improving myself on this?

Some games have aim assist. Use it religiously when available. Holding ZL will “snap” your sights to an enemy you’re aiming at, mow ‘em down and let go of ZL. Rinse and repeat.
