A few days ago, I paid a visit to Best Buy (I wasn't planning on buying anything) and I walked over the PS3 display. They had a demo unit running, so I picked up a controller and played the Uncharted 2 demo.
The demo loaded up, and despite how awkward using the controller was to control the main character, I managed to get through the part where the main character avoids a truck pummeling at him down a narrow alleyway.
The next part of a demo featured a gun battle. I pressed R1 (or R2?) to enter into the aiming mode. The lack of precision from a controller astounded me! No matter how hard I tried, it was difficult to get a bead on the enemy. The enemies kept moving around and tossing grenades at me, so I eventually ran out of ammo and died.
Question is: Coming from a PC gamer who is more used to the keyboard and mouse way of aiming, how do you guys ever manage to aim?
I am not disaparging the controller in any way... Controllers certainly have their place in certain game genres, but you have to agree, aiming feels very awkward on a controller. I hope the next generation of motion controllers rectify this problem before I get my hands on a PS3 next year.

Yeah i was the same way when i started playing console games. After a while you get used to it. I even like using a controller now more than i do a keyboard and mouse. Though for sniping a keyboard and mouse is way better.
