Hey guys

Sorry for a newbie question but I need some help. Ive been playing loads of FPS games on my PC and i consider me be pretty good at it. Last week I bought PS3 making it my first console ever. I have downloaded some demos and it works great except for the FPS games.

I cant aim at all. Well I can but using the sixaxis it takes me about 10 seconds before I can aim something and shoot it. That is standing still. Running and aiming is out of the question. Is there any hidden secret here ? some way of holding the controller ? Or do I just have to buy a mouse or get used to the sixaxis aim ?

It takes a little time to get used to, but you'll get the hang of it eventually

First off congrats on the PS3, and if it's your first console ever, definitely take some time getting used to the controller, as it's (obviously) much different than a mouse/keyboard, especially for FPS games. With time you'll get the hang of it though.

Yeah, I know how you feel. The basic conepts are there, but it's never quite the same. It's really just a matter of practicing (a lot) and you'll get the hang of it. I've grown up on pc games though (starting with games like Doom, and using the Mouse and keyboard for the first time after was just as akward). For me, it's never felt quite as accurate. I'd recomend messing with the sensitivities of the two sticks. I find myself turning them down just a bit usually, less i overshoot my target.

sixaxis is the name of the controller, he does not mean he can aim tilting left/right, but he is finding it difficult to aim using the thumb sticks, which is a big difference to a mouse on a pc FPS.

Socom. Socom is one of the greatest games to get your aim good with a controller.

Socom 1---> Socom 2---> Socom 3 ---> Socom: Combined Assault 

In that order they came out. So you can get the latest one if you want.

 

It just takes practice. If this is your first console, then you must be pretty fresh. All it takes is some practice. Not that hard to get atleast somewhat adjusted to

RFOM is a pretty hard game as is. Especially if its your first console shooter, i would say you try out COD3, it fairly easy and not very tough to learn.

why is everybody that askes a question on their first post a troll?? how is he even trolling by saying he lacks the skill to play the games right?? unless he is trolling himself.. I think you are just bored calling everybody out for a troll :P

Oh and to the thread starter you just need to get used to it.. i remember playing red faction for the first time and i learned pretty quickly... or you could always just plug in a usb keyboard and mouse :P

You just have to adjust to it, it's all about conditioning.  You're used to KB&M, so using a pad feels akward.  I'm used to a controller, so chances are given a PC FPS, I would feel very out of place, and not do so well.

Looks like a mouse and a keyboard ^^. Guess I will have to get used to the sixaxis after all.

Thanks for the help all
