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?

Aren't you supposed to have aim assist on consoles? I personally don't play shooters that much, if I do it's exclusively single player games and they seem to be a more chill experience. You can take your time to get accustomed to the game and it's controls.

@r3xus, sure, but it is much more fun and rewarding if you can aim more precisely then rely on aim assist. And gyro aiming can help quite a bit here.
