Game feels terrible to play and here's why

I'm on Xbox. There's no aim settings, number 1. Number 2, weapons recoil too much. I can't turn or aim in a way that I enjoy, every action is annoying in itself. Whether it be being unable to turn around quickly enough, or make small aiming adjustments because the stick dead zones are so obviously huge, everything is a chore that I don't want to do. Simple things like aiming and turning should be the best part of a shooting game but that's backwards playing on controller in Destiny. It feels like shit. An example of aiming and turning in a game with a controller that feels good, is CoD or Apex Legends. Both of these games have extensive turning and aiming controller settings that let me tune these actions to how I like them. Destiny has 1 aim setting, look sensitivity, and even that can't be set sufficiently high enough. It maxes out at 10 which is still pretty slow for a shooting game, and there's so much aim smoothing/acceleration slowdown in Destiny that it takes a long time just to reach the slow 10 sensitivity cap anyway. Destiny has some interesting things going for it, but aiming and turning settings are not one of them. I think Destiny has the worst aim settings i have ever seen in over 20 years of playing console shooters. The Jan 28 TWAB cemented what I dont like about Destiny. No aim settings to help with turning and aiming. And the fact that half the guns in the game recoil so much that they are unusable for any use in the game, the lack of aim settings only makes that issue worse. And to top it off, Bungie isn't going to fix that. They're still going to let players who use a mouse have 20% less recoil than players who use a controller. Who the -blam!- do these people think they are? Do they really think they can do something like that and players aren't going to say anything about it? What other games (especially crossplay games) have a recoil difference of 20% between platforms? This is insanity. First they tell us 40% more recoil than MnK and D1 controller is "the magic in the controller." I'm sorry Bungie, you're wrong. Your game is suffering as a result of your poor decision making. We've been telling you these things are bad for the game for years, and you still won't do anything about it. Instead of doing what we asked, you turn around and ignore controller recoil but nerf MnK recoil. The -blam!- is wrong with you people? I'm dead serious. What is the matter with you people? Have you lost your minds? I can't tolerate playing this game any longer. No aim settings so turning and aiming always feels like shit. High, obnoxious recoil so I can't even use guns that aren't hand cannons or auto rifles or shotguns/snipers. What a terrible feeling game. Who gives a -blam!- about new content like game modes or new guns and gear if the base game mechanics like aiming and turning feel like shit? IT FEELS TERRIBLE.

      You're comparing apples to lawn furniture. Call of Duty...and all of its derivatives (Respawn was the original Infinity Ward before it broke with Activision to create Titanfall) are TWITCH shooters. So Call of Duty is a game of reaction time. He who has the fastest reaction speed (and lowest ping time) usually wins. Respawn shooters are typicall games of mobility. You dont' really get into gunfights so much as you use your mobility to position yourself on the map so that you can kill your opponent faster than they can kill you. In fact, in Titanfall games, if you're actually getting into "gunfights"....you're doing it wrong. Bungie shooters, on the other hand, are games that prioritize shooting accuracy. The game is set up in a way so that it prioritizes learning how to manage the recoil of your weapon so that you can shoot accurately, and to reward the skill of learning how to shoot your weapon with precision. Which is counter to allowing you to flick a mouse so you whirl in a 270* arc, and hip-fire/no scope someone. Bungie shooters are just not those kinds of games, and if you're looking for that Call of Duty feel and experience, you just aren't going to find it in this game. If you want that experience, Titanfall or Titanfall 2 will make you much happier than this game ever will. Respawn makes amazing games....but they are a different animal from Bungie shooters. As far as the changes to mouse and keyboard, they are nerfing them because the weapons on PC are like laser guns, and are **ridiculously** easier to use than their counterparts on console. I still remember the first time I used a hand cannon on the PC version of the game. I just started laughing. Compared to console, the damn thing practically aimed itself, it was so much easier to use.

          What kind of loser has recoil? Like, what's the point? Just stop doing it. You can quit at anytime you're ready.

            • Recoil is only rough with some smgs and autos. Just get a good recoil toll and or counter balance stock and let the aim assist on controller do its job.

              • While I agree controller could use a recoil buff and better settings I think you misunderstand the Mouse recoil change. They are needing Mouse and Keyboard, they originally had 40% less recoil and will soon only be 20% less. As someone who's also spent years on console. (Destiny 1 Beta) I know what you mean. Lately I've been playing PC, and its easier to control recoil and its because you can't endlessly look down with a mouse. You have to drag it down your desk to control recoil. When using a sniper to deal DPS my mouse often actually falls off my desk by the end of the magazine. Just to put some stuff in perspective.
