    I played the original HALO when it came out and did awfully at it.

    I recently bought the PC Master Chief collection and was surprised it was so easy since I’d had so much trouble with the original.

    Then I realized the difference was controller vs. m+k. Controllers are good for some styles of games, but IMHO, shooters ain’t one of them.

      I’ve never been able to aim and shoot (and hit anything) with a controller, glad to see I’m not the only one.

      Controllers are best for platformers imo. I actually hook up a controller to my PC for most platform games.

        Oh man, when I played The Last of Us on my flatmates Playstation because it wasn’t on PC at the time, I died like four times to the first few tutorial zombies. It really took a while for me to pick it up enough for even that kind of simple PvE action.

          That’s the exact game I had trouble with as well and I believe it even had an aim assist mechanism. I managed to get by on story mode but the shooting parts were just frustrating. (Still totally worth it though)
