How important is rumble/vibration when playing a video game?

 

 

I find it nice, and it adds a lot to the game experience....

 

What about you?

[XIIISwords 1,059]

Video Games have rumble?

[khfanXIII 60]

*shrugs* meh.

[kingdomlanelover 494]

Other..... it's used for something else.... muhahahahahaha!

[Ven4ever 12]

All the time

[TheBucket2 114]

I think it's an aspect most developers overlook, which is unfortunate because I think it adds a lot to the game's experience. I like to use it all the time, and it's actually just annoying if the rumble isn't done correctly. Either do it well or not at all.

[Miminezz 76]

I don't like it, I turn it off if I can.

[Kishira 2,854]

I NEED IT.

[TheKingdomkid 1,194]

I like the vibration when its a long one like an earthquake is happening in a game I like the feel of it it feels weird but I hate it that you feel it for every little think like you get punch and the controler vibrates just a little I hate that but oh well

 

Don't make it sound dirty T_T

I like it when it rumbles during certains parts in the game that requires rumbling.

[TheDarKris 85]

Rumble is bad for FPS imo because it lowers reaction time and every second counts!

[DG20 67]

I think it's cool. I was a little mad when I heard the first ps3 controllers didn't have it but I think they fixed that.

[A mystery 346]

I like the rumble feature in games when it is perfectly matched to what is occuring on the screen.

[Slicer9875 27]

Usually it doesn't matter but it can act as an indicator if something is about to happen to give some preparation time.

[Always 309]

LOL I used to absolutely hate it, but now it's hard for me to play a game without it. I think it adds a lot to the experience.

[Ventus.12 4]

its fun to have in the game

[Maffy 45]

It's nice to have it but I don't even think abt it when I don't have it in a game I don'nt rly feel anything just cause it vibrates If an enemy has thrown me to the other side of the room, I doubt vibration will make it seem "real" just cause my hands feel it lol. THOUGH every time there's a vibration I immediately put it on my shoulder! It's a nice way for a massage but it ends rly fast

[Kinode 3,056]

I don't really care...

[khdude214 40]

I can never figure it out on kh2 for my ps2....it doesnt want to work for me

[Nikolasvanitas 358]

actually there were sometimes when vibration helped during some kh battles,it worked like a warning for me to guard against enemy attacks or dodge roll,or sometimes you can count how many times the controller rumbles during an enemys attack so that you can guard at the right time

[KeybladeWielder_ 161]

Its good when done well. But generally I don't notice it to be honest...

So I can live with or without.

[MisguidedBliss 35]

Neat when done right. But I can live without it.

When playing Skyward Sword and the Guardians are running after me in the Silent Realms, I have to admit that I'm scared shitless. The vibration reminding me they are just behind me and that I'm going to die and start over.

When the PS2 came out I was like: "OMG! THE CONTROLER IS HAVING AN EPILETIC ATACK! THAT'S SO COOL!" Now I doesn't care anymore. I don't even notice it anymore.

[razuthor72 89]

ehh its cool if done correctly. but usually i dont notice it too much.

[King Riku 2,063]

If used at the right moments, it's perfect. I can't remember if Kingdom Hearts 2 vibrated, mostly because my controller is broken, but I know it's perfect in Assassin's Creed 2^^
