'please, Internet, tell me how to turn my game controller into a vibrator'

Kids these days..... Back in my day, we just turned on FF8 and spammed summons

    You missed out on the tomb raider demo disc that came with PlayStation magazine (probably issue 73 based on the fact I have it and I wasn’t subscribed very long while demo discs were a thing) Same era.

    If you went for a swim in the pool, and swam into the side, you’d not only get a constant intense vibration, you’d also get to see her swimming motion, and I don’t think it had breath mechanics yet (or at least she wouldn’t die in the demo zone), so you could take your time. Win win.

    There was also a vibration test in the menu if you just wanted no frills.

    Oh God, I literally quit the game because the summons were so absurd. I feel I spent more time watching the same animations than I did playing the game.

    I imagine that's a design consideration.- same with Ultima and other big spells. You get a big payoff after a big wind-up. It's trying to telegraph that if you want speed you should build your party differently using junctions

    I forget which game, but it had two different durations of summon/cast. The first time was always the long one, then youd regularly get the short one, youd randomly "crit" and get the long one, which did more damage.

    I was obsessed with that game when it came out. Just played it again, and it's actually pretty bad. Even without using summons at all, and with emulator fast-forward on most of the time, it's almost unbearably slow and tedious.
