I have bought a PS4 and need help.
 

The problem is there is no where that I can learn and practice using the controller. I bought Star Wars 2 and every time I play I get shot before I've done anything, because I'm learning how to use the controller.

So I need games to gain some skills. My 16 daughter is no better than me so it's not an age thing.

you have to try the simple games, like racing one and then learn which button does what.

or you can load Star Wars 2 and try pressing each key to check what each button is assigned to do.,
its not like you are getting shot in real life.,

keep trying. or you can go in settings of that game and assign specific tasks to specific buttons.

good luck..

You need a game thats not so action packed and busy. Give you time and space to get your head around it. First game that pops into my head is Resident Evil 7. Check the trailer on utube i fucking loved it. Its a horror game but its slow and steady

Play a single player game and set it to the easiest difficulty. That way you're not jumping into games getting owned by sweaty 12 year old's who have had a controller in their hand since birth.

Get Tetris

It exercises the mind well

And is easy to control

Star wars battlefront 2 has a single player campaign. Play that first before trying multiplayer.

As people said try single player campaign. Look at the controller sensitivity settings. You can download Fortnite it's free and has a playground mode where you can play alone. It's a 3rd person shooter game and probably something your Daughters well aware of. But that game has building in it as a large component and building requires you to have good camera control and reflexes so some time spent in playground building and shooting around probably would get you accustomed to controller life real quick

The contoller is shit for such games...get a mouse and keyboard...

Don't play with games; come out of retirement and play with titties.

:2 cents:

What he said - Fortnite for life! LUL - Playground mode will surely give you ample room to learn the controls, and the game is free.

Use it for that though until you think you have good control on the controller.... otherwise when you go into an actual match you will get extremely frustrated!

Just did the Winter Qualifiers yesterday and missed by 4 points..

The Battlefront games are pretty bad IMO. Its just going to take some practice. You must have got the PS Plus membership if you are playing online, check the store you get 2 FREE games every month as part of your subscription.

That was an inspiring advice . . .

It takes time and practice.

Learn it on single player games/missions.

Is Battelfront first person or third? Those thumb controllers suck for FPS because it's super tough to get precision aiming with the human thumb. Of course, everyone is in the same boat but not a lot of people ever get the hang of it.

When I was gaming a lot, I always liked FPS on my PC because precision aiming was easy with a mouse.

When I played Ps3 with a controller, I always leaned toward 3rd person view (where you're following a visible character from behind). Games like Uncharted.

Thanks guy for the advice.

The problem is I keep getting shot at or I fall off the walkway because I haven't mastered the controller yet.

I will see if theirs a mode where I can't be shot. This will give me time to master the controller.

Of course I will download any easy to use game in the meantime.

it takes time get and xbox x too

Best zombie genre game franchise ever!

That's hella impressive. I wish I had gotten into the game sooner. I enjoy games that have a huge learning curve so this one I have found has been the best challenge since I played a lot of Starcraft 2

Ma'am, you should learn that wiki stuff first. Stay focused.

Thanks! Shooting to qualify the next go round in December I believe. I stream daily as well, not to become Ninja or anything, just to decompress from daily work and life.

Going to eventually move to pc gaming for Fortnite and other games after the new year as the competitive scene and payouts tend to flow through there.

P.S. I used to play Starcraft also :thumbsup:thumbsup but COD has been my thing since 07 and was top 50 for 6 years running :) Gamer Geek

YESS! I'm waiting for this game!!
