The New Colossus was good but kinda frustrating

I was a big fan of The New Order and The Old Blood. I like the visuals and storytelling of The New Colossus, but encountered some issues with gameplay:
\- Playing on a PC with a controller is not great as the joystick sensitivity is unusually high by default. I don’t remember the last games having this issue. Perhaps I’m imagining this but I feel somehow that the general gunplay was a step back from the predecessors?
\- I frequently found myself lost in a level with no clear indication of where to go
\- Often when in a gun fight and trying to retreat to safety I found myself often getting caught on a wall thanks to some small protrusion, leading to my death
\- Enemies would sometimes just appear with no audiovisual warning. You think you’ve cleared out a room and then suddenly you’re getting shot at point blank range
\- The mechanic of being prompted to manually pick something up when you can just walk over it for the same effect is a bit silly
\- Frequent crashes on PC

The game is shit by default, gameplay and story wise

The only way i can enjoy it and replay it is to just set up save files for unskippable cutscenes like in gow3, and then use speedrun strats/glitches to skip significant parts of gameplay

It felt like so much was cut and what was made was cobbled together. Surprisingly disappointing considering TNC and TOB are so extensive and chock full of love.

Why are you using controller on a pc when mouse and keyboard is the definitive, objective way to play FPS games

People have different reasons to play PC games with a controller, especially if the game supports it. Couch gaming is one of them. There is no point going full elitism and bashing other people's preferences.

There is a point because it gives you 20% of the control m+kb does

Why do you care how others choose to play games?

My first two comments say everything that needs to be said on the issue.

The issue? Bro plays with a controller and the only person that has an issue with it is you.
