I really don't understand why people are so against Kinect. As far as I know MS has not been forcing anyone to use Kinect. If you don't want to give verbal commands in ME3, I suggest you don't. And while your holding your tongue it would be nice if hold it when Kinect topics pop up. If you don't like it, fine, but stop bitching about it.


I dont think there so much against it as they are dissapointed by it.  MS did make it look alot better than it does now, overall. I MSs defense, thats what they do, thats what most companies do. If anyone thought for a second that the Kinect was going to be the way it was in NATAL stages then they just werent thinking right IMHO

Wut

Means you get to try out the multiplayer for a short time even as a silver member.

Unless I can have unscripted conversations with NPCs I'm not interested in voice control.
Press button, instant. Utter command, process command, not instant.


Haters going to hate. You obviously haven't played any Mass Effect games. You press a button to bring up a radial menu, then select action/weapon, then press to confirm. And when you're pumped up in the heat of battle it's a hassle, which is why most of the time I let my companions do their own thing.

I have played both, and I rather have them fix the UI to make things easier then to add voice control as a work around. Good customisable UI design should be standard by now, but way too many games still have cumbersome cluttered user interfaces.

It's nice to have as an altarnative if you don't mind uttering commands for hours while playing through the story, but it's not for me. I see a future for voice recognition in unscripted npc interaction. Hopefully not a too distant future.

Exactly. They showed us project Milo type interaction, and we get simple voice commands.

I'm guessing those 'some people' enjoy talking to their televisions.

Those people have obviously never played on a PC. Or used a controller for that matter.

Is your controller just far too heavy?

Wha? Does that mean ME3 can be played controller free using Kinect only?

I think they could have done the MILO thing IMHO, i believe the tech does exist, but it would have been to expensive. do you wow people with super tech knowing that they cant afford it? Or do you gut the thing and expand to as large audience as possible?? damned if you do damned if you dont. I would have loved to see Natal but in retrospect I think they did the right thing

LMAO

So because of this thinking, modest implementation in regular games is bad... you people are funny. Hey would you rather Bioware to abandon controllers all together and deliver a broken game... like Star Wars Kinect? I prefer when they take their time and master functions by functions first. Making great games with great concepts requires time, yeah people, time is necessary and Kinect has been out 1 1/2 year... how much time does it needs to produce a GOW/Uncharted/Halo... yeah exactly!
