Hi Jim, Obviously weather to use or not use force feedback is purely a matter of personal preference. However, I will say if a gamer isn't use to it force feedback may feel a little strange at first. Its a different form of feedback where you, the gamer, are employing vibration as another sensation to gather feedback about your game or add a bit of extra realism. Imagine, for example, firing a machine gun. The controller might vibrate in sink with the gun simulating the feeling of a machine gun, or your steering wheel might become hard to steer when you drive into the marbles. Both are just added for extra realism, but might be irritating to someone not use to the controller attempting to simulate things so realistically. Fortunately, there is a button on most controllers to turn it off if they don't want force feedback in their games, and it is considered to be purely optional by most game developers.
