I don’t know why everyone is getting so weirdly defensive about this and downvoting you for stating your opinion.
I agree. It’s like the PlayStation controllers that play little sounds from their shitty little speaker that sounds like it was ripped from a cheap children’s toy. It doesn’t add immersion, it adds annoying. I’d hate to be hearing little dings and noises from my controller while I’m playing a game. That’s why I have speakers.
If it were used to play game sounds, yeah, that’s stupid. It’s just the vibration motors with software controls that can replay the same vibrations of a sound file. They are not high enough quality to be used for game audio. They are good enough to play a wakeup/shutdown sound (optional), or other things that just add bonuses to the controller. It’s free, assuming your haptics were good enough.
Because he’s coming off oh so very condescending and espousing the SAME ‘level’ of opinion as everyone else but getting combative/rude sith his responses being called out for having the same objective merit.
You can have an opinion. BUT:
“Why don’t you like this?”
“Because it’s a controller, duh”
“But things can have extra little things in them”
“It’s useless, it’s a controller. Lame of you to like it”
People here in Lemmy often seem to have this problem where they communicate EXACTLY over text how they might in real life, but not realize that 0% of their non-verbals are coming through and so if they don’t change the writing style it just comes off prick-ish and argumentative
