HAHA that was cute

This Random Person is the great winner here.

Games are made to people have fun with then, they don't need to have any kind of challenge to be enjoyed by someone.

Doesn't matter if the game read your movements, if it is fun, it's ok.

And i'm not defending this game i would give it a 0.0 instead of your 0.002.

I'm just saying that there are people that like this kind of game.

This thread could easily be finished, buuuuut is going and going. Imagine if I go to a literature board and open a thread about how shitty are those damn books of Twilight and New Moon, What's the point? ate the end is isnt going to change to opinion of the million that bought that kind of TP.

As soon as Lady gaga is announced for Just Dance 2, I'm sure leo-j will be first in line to purchase it

Right now, you guys are experiencing what us old timers experienced when the young ones really loved Metal Gear Solid.

Couldn't they see that the story was ridiculous, that there was hardly any game in there, and that was WAS there was very sketchy on the design side of things?

Instructional videos for dancing have been around and been popular before. That they're now on a games console is not going to hurt anyone.

Have you ever noticed how two people who are born in a similar place and time can have opposing reactions to the tastes of certain foods? When you hate a food that someone else enjoys does that mean that there taste in food is bad, or is it just a sign that the world is full of a vast number of people each with their own personal tastes?

Leo-J, I can understand you not liking the game. I can understand you hating it. But I think it's a very grave mistake to think others are stupid for liking what the game has to offer. I'll therefore offer a small explanation to what seems to you to be weird and stupid behaviour.

Non-gamers often have very little sense of how rigid the rules in games really are. In a game you can never do anything that is against the rules of the game, and you can never go beyond them either. Most games are built on you learning the rules and then exploiting them, or using them. In stealth games for examples, you quickly learn when the enemy can see you and when they can't, and use that to your advantage, making you feel really good about yoruself. A non-gamer would not understand the rules beneath the surface, and would be slightly confounded at what's happening instead.

Just Dance's the rules seem to be rather lax and imprecise, which annoys you as a gamer. The Non-gamers, being new to the rigid rules of gaming, finds this absolutely charming instead. Since the understanding of the rules is lacking, the lax and imprecise rules instead seem inviting and friendly. Instead of looking at it as a game, with all the preconceptions we all have about that term, they see something that grades your dancemoves.

For them, it isn't as much about how they interact with the game as how the game interacts with them. And it's telling them to dance, how to dance, and that they are succeeding in doing so. THAT is not something they have ever experienced before, so it's a new and happy feeling to do it. Not to mention that they probably enjoy to dance, and that they love watching their friends go at it as well.

So, in short, the system of rules that make up games scare non-gamers away, while it offers great opportunities for you. When that system is broken up, you feel lost but the non-gamer feels at home. Plus, they probably enjoy dancing more than you think you do.

OMG that little girl is adorable!  She looked so cute dancing!  I'm definitely getting this for my niece now.  Congratulations Leoj, you just scored Just Dance another sale.
