Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers.

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)
