We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Where do you draw the line with the DualSense?

Yes. Which is nice as sometimes I'll adjust them lower depending on the game.
Lol this is where I'm at too. I wanna feel and see everything. Something very subtle but very cool was hearing the souls being sucked into your body through the speakers or rubble you walk over. I fucked loved it. And that's just the sound.
I don't want to insult anyone but genuinely wonder could grip strength be a factor in how much you enjoy it? If it destabilizes you too much, I can see that detracting from the experience.
i have zero interest in the default returnal half-press + full-press adaptive trigger thing where each represents a different function, but otherwise i like it
I love the haptics, but they got annoying in Ratchet and Clank because some minor actions would have tons of rumble.
But the advanced haptics + the adaptive triggers are easily the best part of the controller

Yeah.
This.
It's so cool and satisfying like when using the powers.
not everyone's gonna like it, not everyone's going to like any rumble at all. R&C had a setting for it - isn't that the ideal solution?
I really like the OTT haptics for the most part but I do find it a bit tiring when there's resistance in the trigger if you have to use it all the time, my trigger finger got very sore after playing the Spider-Man remaster haha

I LOVE IT. But the only games I've played that really used it so far are Astro and Returnal. Re Village it was kinda neat. But honestly I think it's part of what makes the ps5 feel like a next Gen system.
I don't mind them (mostly), but I can see where OP is coming from.
For me, the haptic feedback and vibrations haven't been an issue but I've found the adaptive triggers to be a hassle that ends up causing a bit of hand pain, especially in racing games (Wreckfest was nearly unplayable for me after 20-30 minutes with them active) where you're constantly using the trigger. One of those 'nice in theory' features - it makes sense that you'd have resistance in a real life scenario but I don't really want to be fighting the controller while playing a game.

aside from astro haven't played ton with the haptic, but give it all to me. love the adaptive triggers on everything. My favorite so far is probably doom eternal so good.
I'm sure you are being hyperbolic here, but the opening scene is your ship blowing up and crashing onto a planet. It's going to be bumpy. The rumble in Returnal is amazing, the energy charges of your weapons and the pulsing of those quick travel pods are fantastic.
I'm playing on default and never felt distracted by it.
BUT I'm playing with headphones on so I never hear the noise it makes. The few times I took the headphones off the sound of vibrations was really loud and distracting. So the sound might be the issue, not the feeling.

Yeah not super impressed with the haptics, I turned them to medium and of course disabled the speaker. I'm actually surprised anyone tried the controller speaker again after the travesty that was the Wii... Anyway, the haptics to me just feel like I'm holding a buzzing piece of plastic. Yes, it buzzes in different intensities, textures etc. but at the end of the day it just feels "cheap" to me. The Switch already did it and there's a reason noone cared. I'm glad others like it but it doesn't do much to make me feel the characters' footsteps or whatever.
The triggers on the other hand are great, really neat feature that I hope everyone (i.e. Xbox) copies ASAP. The climbing section in Astro that used the triggers in combination with the gyro immediately put pretty much all of the industry to shame. Very cool use.

Haptics are far better than classic rumble but developers need to knock it off with the rumble on footsteps, it's game ruining for some of us.
It severely diminished my enjoyment of Bugsnax and has absolutely ruined Control, to the point that I wish I'd picked it up on a different platform and won't be going back to it on my PS5 (which is gutting as I was really excited about more Alan Wake)
The general response you get in places like this is "don't like it? turn it off". But you can't turn off only footstep rumble, you can only turn off all haptics which makes the game experience very empty. Footstep haptics need to disappear as fast as it arrived, or we need granular control over it and be able to turn it off without disabling the other haptics in the game.
Less is more when it comes to haptics, if the controller is vibrating every footstep you take it's diminishing the impact of the other haptics in the game.

I like the controller but the gimmicks I can take or leave. I haven't turned any of now, but I might turn off the trigger stuff at some point. It kind of got annoying with RE Village

Yes yes yes. It'a my argument too. If it's all haptic it just blues into noise.
I still think the cutscenes are ridiculous too. If you were watching a movie and there was haptic feedback every second, evwry Visual element, we'd all say it's ridiculous and unnecessary. Same applies here.
Having now played a dozen hours of Returnal, you're right about those couple examples. The problem is that those would pop more if every footstep weren't already giving feedback.
I draw no line. Full haptics and triggers all the time. Multiplayer or single player its the best. It's made me play to completion games I didn't enjoy originally just because it makes gameplay more engaging for me.
The more rumble, haptics and adaptive trigger use, the better. If anything I feel like the rumble could do with being stronger at times lol.
That said, just turn it down in settings if it's too strong for you. By default it's set to the highest strength option.
