Is it just me or the game is incredibly hard/difficult to aim on controller?

[Griever]

OK so I'm a PC player who played the demo on PS5.
I'm guessing the controller feel is about the same on PS5 or PC.

My gripe was...For the life of me I can't freaking aim with a controller.
I know I've been a 100% mouse & keyboard guy for the past years but still.

Do you guys aim well on a controller?
Do you actually turn the aim assist on?

Not to mention Leon feels like STUCK IN THE MUD HEAVY TANK to move around with the joysticks.

I'm looking for advice here, do I just suck so bad at playing the playstation as a PC gamer?
I was gonna buy this on PS5 but I'm seriously considering PC now.

Or is it a "get good" situation?

[Simply a weeb]

nope all my runs are on xbox controler pretty easy to aim, and I have decent hours recent unlocked infinte amm

[Faded]

Its easy. Maybe not as easy as COD laser aim, but thats because cod is too easy to aim

[Griever]

So do you guys turn on aim assist or leave it off on controller?
i usually never turn on aim assist but really considering it here.

Well cod usually has brutally high aim assist

It's a 'get used to it' situation.

No matter how you much you practice, mouse aiming will always be more precise.

RE4 was designed with controllers in mind, so you can change your mindset to understand that you're getting an advantage with a mouse, not a disadvantage with a controller. The rest is practice and tailoring sensitivity to your liking.

Two pieces of advice I can give as a PC gamer who slowly but gradually got used to controller aiming:
- Increase default turn sensitivity and decrease aim sensitivity. This way you'll be able to turn quicker, but aim more precisely.
- Adjust your aim with the left stick, not just with the right one. Often strafing a little bit to the right or to the left is much easier than moving your weapon. Eventually you'll get used to both.

I don't find aiming with Steam Deck or Xbox 360 controller very hard.

You don't get aim assist on professional mode, js, unless using the hunk helmet. And the ingame aim assist is actually often time bad, basically it works very good 50% of the time and very bad 50% of the time (prioritization is bad, ex zombies of lamps/barrels). Aiming without it works good 100% of the time. Maybe you are one of those people that think they gotta raise sensitivity to max in every videogame? Default is perfectly fine

I’ve been on console and playing COD for 20yrs and yes I’m old now lol. I understand the question on this post. I don’t know what the hell happened from the early access of Vanguard to the day it officially launched but on that day it did when I came home, I lost all aim assist strength and literally feels like I’m using analog sticks as a mouse. Point A to point B with nothing in the middle. No drag, no slowdown, no sticky to allow for a flick shot or to make micro adjustments. We are now in MW2 and it is almost unplayable due to this. I quit Vanguard and stopped playing MW2 some as well. I own both PS5 and XSX and now play on RTX4070ti with PS5 duel edge controller. I even started a fresh account with a completely different Activision acc to see if it was just something with my account but it’s not. I have gone through every setting, every combo 100’s of times. Not even rotational works. The only time it may work would be at long range with AR , maybe. I was a sweat in Verdansk and never had any issue with aim. Now after years of muscle memory, I can’t hit ♥♥♥♥ as I’m getting snap aimed by others with lock on aiming. Friends of mine on console say that they don’t have anything as well or if they do it’s very little. Strafing doesn’t work either. I’ll put it this way, if I’m moving at a slight angle while strafing or side to side or backwards or forwards and don’t touch the right stick. My aim stay’s exactly where I’m aiming. Doesn’t matter if someone is in the box or not. I think personally they secretly dropped the strength from .06 to .04 without telling anyone and anyone that’s on the internet talking how it’s OP and do this and do that, is cheating and blowing smoke up ur a..

Bro this is RE4R. The AA in this game will lock onto anything, good or bad

[fishball]

you dont need aim assist , just turn up the camera and aiming sensitivity ~

[Mögbär]

But pay attention to the settings, because there are separate sensitivity dialers for mouse and for controller. Easy to miss.

Other than that, it's just a matter of being used to one type of contols. Either is fine.

At 35yo I just simply prefer not being sat behind a desk while gaming, which in most cases means using a controller.

The only exceptions being Battlefield and other precision shooters

While agreeing Battlefield needing a godlike amount of precision sometimes i found this particular game being a lot better with kb+m (im also 30+) since it also requires you to be fast and aim well. Otherwise im all for controllers, especially for 3PS.
