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

[Alex*Sora*89 23]

Rumble is never vital, but if it's done right it can be a nice addition. Given the games themselves can hardly give the illusion of, say, the rumbling vehicle you're on, let alone the pain of some kind of attack you happen to be on the receiving end of, the rumble function, if employed right, can help a lot with the player's bond with their virtual avatar, further establishing a connection between the two, whether it's something "emotional" or, rather, something more like the "this is what happen when you screw up, dammit" kind of connection.

I really don't care if a game has it or not. It never does anything integral to a game, so therefore it doesn't matter whether it is present or not.

I love it, but the only time I've really experienced it is with the Wii (not much, I didn't have a lot of Wii games), and KH for the PS2 (KH games are the only things that fill up my PS2 library ). So I'm used to not having it, but it's kinda neat when I do.

tutti frutti. To me it's debateable, more so since you would have to hold it right at certain points in a game. I have gotten to the point where I ignore it when I'm playing a game. At some points I occasionally it find that it would give away points for story based games that may catch you off guard or when something important in the story is about to happen. I don't care much for the rumble feature since it doesn't really hold that much of an interest for me.

the vibrations at first annoyed me but now they help me realize stuff that was happening in kh battles and stuff.
