Please don't call it "aiming".
It's "spraying".
If aiming was actually possible, there wouldn't be aim assist features on console shooters.
Remember this, OP:
- you will never be able to go for accurate headshots on a moving target even if you want to.
- you will get stuck sometimes when you want to go through doorways, especially when in the heat of the action.
- quick corner checking is impossible because it's such a hassle. People run aimlessly into rooms because of that.
- picking up loot in games like Skyrim and Borderlands is a hassle. It looks like you are controlling a robot arm instead of controlling a human being.
- games like Dead Island where headshots give you more XP? Don't even think about ever trying that on a console.
- while you can aim perfectly fine with the mouse on its own, you have to use movement of your character to aim good with a controller. It's like you are controlling a robot who can't aim, instead of controlling a soldier (who can aim fine everywhere with moving).
- don't even think you can outsmart someone who is shooting you from behind. By the time you are turned, you are already killed.
- you can't customize your controls 100%: you are fixed into choosing layouts. You have to remember a slightly different layout for every shooter you play.
- you can't do special combo's where games allow this, like in Dishonored where time and accuracy is important.
If you can live with all this, you won't feel frustration like I had.
I tried to get into console gaming for a few months but eventually stayed with PC gaming because you don't feel hold back.
