Words Of Wisdom on 27 February 2009
It's too bad the weight of the rumble pack on the N64's controller made the whole thing awkward to hold which basically meant if I wanted to enjoy that little feature of OoT I had to suffer holding the thing almost all the time.
I learned to dislike rumble because of PC joysticks that had it defaulted too high which screwed up your aim which was pretty much any game that I'd want to use a joystick for. The N64 didn't make it any better with the bulky and awkward rumble pack. It's not as bad today as it was then but I'd still rather focus on the game than the silly thing between my hands that's vibrating and already telling me things I already know. It's not immersion helping, it's immersion killing to me.
