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?

For me it was just practice. All my FPS game experience was on PC. Then I got a steam deck and had to learn to use thumb sticks, which I probably hadn't used regularly since og Xbox. It just takes patience and a lot of sucking.

I've found gyro makes it way more tolerable, it's basically impossible to use a controller without it.

I'm still trying to get used to gyro. I definitely see the value in it, I'm just not seasoned enough to use it well yet.
