Learning to use Xbox One controller

IMPopeye45 · Apr 5, 2018

I have played games on PCs for years. I got an Xbox one X for my grandsons for Christmas and they have asked me to play with them, so I bought one for myself. I am trying to learm how to use the controller before playing with them but have been unsuccessful.
Can anyone suggest a game which would be good for controller learning? I have attempted to ask this question twice with Ambassadors but get no reply.

Official steering wheel set up

it's up to your preference though. I don't want a wheel. It takes time to adapt to the controller, not only in races but FPS etc. Now that I'm good with it, I just don't wanna change. Like learning to use the clutch.

Xbox One controller on Surface RT

For the Xbox One controller to work on Windows RT there has to be a driver made for it. At the moment, I don't believe there is so you can't use an Xbox One controller.

As for your Xbox 360 controller, it's wireless. It will remain wireless even if you use the play and charge. Unlike the Xbox One controller, the 360 wireless controller can't be made wired by using a play and charge. If you want to use an Xbox 360 controller
on a Surface RT, it needs to be a wired one.

The only ones I can think of are one of the Telltale games or a Lego game. Most games are going to have different layouts, but those games usually use all, if not most, of the buttons which might help remember the layout. Telltale games usually have a time
limit for pressing a button if that helps.

In most games there is usually a tutorial level which teaches you which joysticks/buttons do what.

Or go to an in game menu, choose controller set-up and you will see a visual guide to the controller layout for that particular game.

And get some solo practice before joining your grandsons otherwise you won`t stand a chance

THank you. I'll give a try with one of these. Hope it works. I'd love to play a game or two with my grandkids.

Don't I know it. Fortunately, they are a team. I don't usually play multiplayer because I get tired of being assinated my socalled allies. I have watched them play. They cover eachother's backs. Like it is in the real world. They want me to join their
team.

At the moment there is only one truly positive thing about the new xbox. The controller.

That is the only thing I like. I hate the playstation controller but id rather learn to adapt playing with a new controller than take all the crap MS is forcing on us.
