Hmm, so basically what I expected; good reviews for Dance Central, mediocre for everything else. Far too many shady  "birdmen" games. Kinect needs more games like Dance Central and Children of Eden that actually look like they have some effort put in and aren't trying to be crappy Wii third party knockoffs.

Really? A month ago I seem to remember you saying:

Hmm funny, now why wouldn't MS want people to get there hands on this device as soon as possible and spread their impressions? What do they have to hide?

This is just classic MS.. *Wiggles fingers. "Go buy our mediocre product everyone! Don't pay attention to the accounts of lag, or the fact that you cannot play while sitting. Don't pay attention to the fact that it only recognizes two people at a time or that you may need to change your clothes to brighter colors. Don't worry about the fact that it will cost you $300 for an Xbox 360 and another $150 for Kinect, that currently supports 17 games that all look like they are mini games from Mario Party yet cost $60 each."

I don't see what more proof people need that this thing is going to suck, big time. It is all typical smoke and mirrors from MS. Sure it will sell like mad for a couple of months from the sheer novelty of 3D motion controller-less gaming, but expect the sales of this thing to plummet after people realized they were duped into buying an overhyped Eye Toy 2.0 with a bunch of games equivilant to Wii 3rd party shovelware. Seriously, if people think there was a major hardcore bashlash against Nintendo for the Wii, they haven't seen nothin yet. Now the Move may be a shameless Wiimote ripoff but at least Sony is supporting some games for it that aren't an insult to gamers' intelligence.

 

I particularly love how "At least Sony is supporting some games for it that aren't an insult to gamers' intelligence" and "I don't see what more proof people need that this thing is going to suck, big time" translates to "I knew Dance Central would be a good game." Please stop talking out of both sides of your mouth and pretending like you've given Kinect or its software a fair shake when you clearly haven't.

What's next in this revisionist history you've concocted? I suppose all of us just imagined that the Titanic actually sunk, right?

Yikes, stalker much? Thanks for digging out my 3 week old post. Guess I touched a nerve. I don't really see how that contradicts what I said. I always thought Dance Central looked like a decent game because I trust Harmonix could do a good job, but ONE good looking game out of 17 isn't saying very much. I just can't believe how many people blindly defend this mediocre launch lineup of mostly $60 games, for a piece of hardware that ign says has noticeable lag. If this were Nintendo, people would be ready to crucify them..

You really crack me up. How dare I dig up a three week old post and use your exact words against you? What is this, 3rd grade? I apologize for having the mental capacity to call you on your self-contradictions.

By the way, I'm waiting for you to tell me how you always thought Dance Central looked like a decent game, when you said, and I quote again "At least Sony are support some games for [Move] that aren't an insult to gamers' intelligence." So Dance Central is good, but insults our intelligence at the same time? Do explain, and your argument better amount to something more than trying to paint me as angry or a "stalker" for having the audacity to hold you to your own words. What are you hiding from Metallicube? Upset that everyone doesn't hate Kinect like you do?

Yeeah, please show me in my post where I said  "Dance Central will suck?" Out of 17 games, it looked like the only good one, and I stand by those words. Hell, chances are out of 17 games, at least one SHOULD be good, law of averages and all that..

But really, it still looks like a more sophisticated version of Just Dance. As I said, Kinect needs more games like Children of Eden, that not only look like some effort was actually put in, but actually do their own thing, and aren't just trying to be B rate Wii knock off games. The fact that they are trying to sell these games at 60 bucks boggles my mind..

Look, if people like you are upset that I am speaking my mind, so be it, but I'm not going to sugarcoat something when it looks bad to me. If you said the Wii games are garbage for instance, I may not agree, but I'd at least respect your opinion as long as it was backed up. What I said is my opinion, if it bothers you, tough.

To be fair to him though, you do appear to me as always trashing/dismissing/belittling anything that isn't Wii centric.

I'm not going to dig your post history, because I have more important things to do than trolling you, like he does.  But as far as I remember, you hardly ever show fairness if it's a product that isn't Wii centric.
