I agree with you completely! I bought one for my Iron Man, but I had to completely neuter it. It was so harsh that it felt damaging to the game. I know some people like it like that. But for me, the sound and the violent shaking was a huge distraction from the game. I'd never buy one again. And if I ever buy a game with one, I'll just yank it out and sell it. The Stern ones are more expensive, but work way better. So worth it.
