Playing Helldivers 2. My brother on the desktop on the living room TV. Me on the SteamDeck on the couch next to him. Playing co-op together.

Aiming with a controller is just going to be terrible. I'm just not a "serious" gamer, and we were playing beginner missions (literally my first time ever playing this game).

In theory you could probably get very good at it using the gyros but there's a pretty big learning curve there.

Manually adjusting the deadzones will help a lot also.

The controls are near-exact match for match to Metal Gear Solid V, a game made for controller and kb+m. I prefer gamepad/steam deck to this game, hard disagree it's terrible

Well you're entitled to your (wrong) opinions 🤪

[-] muse@fedia.io 3 points 6 months ago

Agreed, which is why my post was a kindly worded "sounds like a skill issue bro" post

Little of column A, little of column B.

In general I'd agree, but on the deck why would you not use the trackpad as a mouse for anything first-person?

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago

Because that's even worse than an analog stick? 😂

Well to each their own, but the only thing closer than the trackpad to a mouse would be a mouse.
