You know, I never thought about it, but what is a trigger if not an analog stick with one axis? Honestly though, I've never even experienced that phenomenon on a console! I do wonder if it would still happen if I capped at 30fps.
One thing I will say about analog sticks. You can be surprisingly quick and precise with them. The way to get good, ime, is to bump up the sensitivity until you can comfortably twitch them around at max. At least use every bit of speed and precision available. The whole auto-aim and then adjust slightly over thing you gotta do when they're at normal sensitivity is reliable but damned slow. And you do kinda need it... the auto-aim 'pull' is like, orders of magnitude faster than any movement you're able to make. No matter how good you are at acquisition, the manual movement is just that much slower at normal values.
That, also used to give a huge advantage on competitive console shooters. Since everyone was using a controller, if you could use one at the highest sensitivity, you were faster and more accurate than the majority playing by default. I don't personally find myself having trouble getting on target in one or two quick maneuvers, it becomes automatic and normal sensitivity feels like mole asses. It's still not the same as aiming with a mouse, though. I think a good mouse/kb user could easily smoke me on a controller, the same way I used to easily smoke casuals in COD on xbox by running full-twitch on the analog settings. Still, there are techniques to getting decent with them, even if they are fundamentally limited. I've never had problems with them 'keeping up' in SP games.
Maybe I just don't play enough console ports on PC. This has been so weird for me. I've gotten wicked good at recovery to compensate, just knowing that sometimes Aloy is going to just drop her bow at the worst possible moment
