So expensive, they really shouldn't have put Alan Wake 1 in the physical edition.

Haptic feedback is so stupid. Easily the worst feature of the console.

Hell nah. When done right (like astro), it’s pretty great.

This game looks awful on consoles. I got it on series x. It’s just a muddy mess. The gameplay is shite too. It’s a shame, since the atmosphere is stellar.

I didn't even realize consoles didn't have RT in this game

It's fine as a feature but is just more moving parts that will eventually break down, not to mention has like twice the travel time of normal triggers.

The haptic feedback also shortens the travel time depending on what trigger action it's simulating. 

 

Whereas regular triggers it's the same travel time for every action.

On paper it sounds nice but the resistance when the plate moves up kinds of negates the effect. You still do more work with the short press than if it were a normal trigger and it's jarring in games and you switch weapons using a full trigger pull then it goes to the shallow setting and it feels like you're about to break the trigger mechanism because you pulled too hard. 

 

Needless mount parts and servos which add to an already pricey controller. It's the only thing I don't like about the dual sense..other than the pads.

The triggers on PS5 controller are trash. I turned that shit off immediately.

For games that implemented well, I liked the immersion of the additional haptics.
