!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

There was no standard for how FPS games were played on a controller at the time. Dual sticks weren't even a thing yet. You learned the controls and it was fine. Nowadays it's awful with the default scheme, but you can actually get pretty modern controls by choosing the 1.2 Solitaire setting in the options and binding the left stick to the C buttons, the right stick to the analog stick, and rebinding the rest to whatever feels comfortable. This is even possible on the Switch using the controller remapping feature.
