Battery consuming games
I like playing Destiny 2, but what I hate about that game is how fast it consumes batteries in your controller. I mean seriously, I go through three pairs of batteries in one week and I don't even play that much on one day! I know that it's useful when your controller vibrates, then you know that you got hit or if something big is near, but it's ridiculous how some games seem to make you burn through batteries as if it's nothing.
Destiny 2 is a battery killer?
Destiny also has that problem but it seems the sequel is going even crazier with this, because pretty much everywhere your controller vibrates and you end up swapping batteries the next day. What's worse is how there are parts in the game where your controller vibrates like crazy and doesn't seem to stop vibrating, it stops like 30 seconds later but if that happens several times in the game in one evening then you're draining the batteries a lot! There are missions that I really don't like to replay because of this battery draining nonsense. There is nothing wrong with making the controller vibrate but why does Bungie have to go over the top in the Destiny games? Honestly Bungie it's almost as if you made a deal with some battery companies to help them stay in business! Of course that's silly but it's also silly that you can't control the vibration. It's either on or off, there isn't a low, medium or hard setting with vibration which would've been nice.
Why don't you turn off vibration?
That would solve things except vibration does have some useful functions. For example in PvP I know when I got hit when the controller vibrates so I don't have to check my health constantly. It also helps with getting into a game. For example in a survival horror game when the heartbeat is felt through the controller with vibrations. That makes it a lot more intense and fun to play. But to be honest I've also gotten used to vibrating controllers, it just feels weird when your controller never vibrates anymore. So maybe I got addicted to it? Well I doubt that it's an addiction but more something that you expect and when you take that away it just feels weird that you don't feel anything anymore. I think it makes a lot more sense if there are vibration settings on a controller, that gives you the control of how much you want to feel and maybe spare your batteries a bit. Otherwise gaming becomes a very expensive hobby because batteries aren't always that cheap!
