As a PC gamer, I am finding it extremely difficult, frustrating even to use consoles. I tried in the past, and gave up, selling my 360 and PS3. Now I was able to snag a 360 for cheap, and want to try again. I tried playing Gears of War today, but gave up in frustration after 5 minutes. I am lucky if I actually manage to shoot something once out of 10 times. Yeah, its THAT bad. Sometimes I end up going sideways when I want to go forward, and sometimes I end up switching guns when I just wanted to move somewhere.
I understand practice makes perfect, but are there any other games that you feel helped YOU develop the necessary dexterity, or whatever it is that's needed to use a controller?
Thanks.
I was (still am) in the same boat.. One thing I will say, Pick a different GAME!!!! GOW annoyed the living hell out of me with its Velcro wall crap, stick., ok i want to move.. ah.. damn, ah.. ok i moved, damn now im stuck to another wall. My first console FPS (that had OK controls) was halo, much like the rest of the world.. oh i had played all those before, but halo got it as close to good as its going to get on Pads. then I played it on the PC.. not a good thing, you understand how diffent a console game and PC (same game) is. (and this is not a console bash, just a fact, play um both) enemies, etc, where all way easier on the console, also, most if not all have Aim help. when your used to doing it, its REALLY hard to get a grasp of just being in a close area, the console will do the rest.. understandable as you have the fixed turning rate, so you are gimped buy that if you are used to PC's and 180's in a second.. many have a button that does 180 for you.. to bad a 160 is needed sometimes..
I kept at it, still not even remotely good compared to some good console players. And I KNOW you can get damn good with a console, as good as with a Mouse/Keyboard, i have seen it. I just doubt us long term PC users will ever do that.
Halo was about teh only one i played till the 3 and 360.. with so many i jumped back in GoW was my first .. i was so frustrated i didn't touch my 360 for almost a year. it wasnt that i sucked at the game, i sucked at controlling it, and after years of feeling totally in control, only your bad decisions to screw you up, it was HARD to deal with. Dying because I couldn't let go of a static gun, turn and engage a guy walking up behind me.. I went to some simpler games BulletWitch (i liked it.. so what if its consider a bad game) Earth Defence Force 2017 (so damn much mindless fun) after playing these simpler games i got better, and could play awhile as they are not complicated, pretty much just shooting galleries that ramp up slowly. Since then i have beat all the 360 halo's and GOW.. Im not anywhere near good even, but i can play um and the frustration level is much smaller now..
its just time, but try an easier game.. without 30 button combo's.. shoot and duck and jump.. concentrate on the shooting.. an aiming then add all that other shit.
