I don’t feel comfortable using a mouse and I have no interest in working on my mouse skills. I play all of my games with either a controller or a keyboard, and I’m looking for 3rd-person shooters I can play with a controller.
I’m mainly interested in action games. I’m OK with a world with gated areas a la metroidvanias/soulslikes, but I’m not interested in full-on open world or narrative-driven games.
Examples of 3rd-person shooters I enjoyed playing with a controller: Gungrave, Vanquish, and Evil West.
Examples of 3rd-person shooters I don’t enjoy and have no interest in: Uncharted, The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption, Dead Space, Control/Alan Wake, or GTA.
I mainly play on PC, Steam in particular, but I’ll boot up emulators if the game is worth it.
A chunk of games will have be on multiple systems, and some form of aim assist but for reasons unknown only allow aim assist on console. It’s kind of frustrating becahse they allow PCs to use controllers. And I am talking single player only games as well…
I seem to recall one of the early cross-platform competitive multiplayer games having full controller aim assist on PC, they had to dial it back because players were figuring out how to combine it with mouse input and ending up with such a massive advantage that console players were disabling crossplay.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
Depends on the system sometimes.
