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

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

Well for whiney core gamers who just nag like old wives (lol)...kinect implementation like this is small yet contributes positively to gameplay. 

For MS fans who cant stop taking their koolaid...MS did make it look better, intially than it acutally was no one is saying that this small contribution doesnt add to gameplay, most of us anyway and LOL to whoever thinks that Kinect games will make anyone's girlfriend a core gamer, not gonna happen. Didnt happen with Wii

I said "one step closer" in regards to your girlfriend being a gamer. And it did happen with the Wii.....I know many girls that own a Wii as their first ever gaming console. 

I know many girls that have WIi as well, but keep it real, do any of them actual play the "core" games. Or do they just stick to the WIiFIts, just dances and 2d Mario?? Are any of them playing the CODs, GEs, Metroids, Zeldas, S&P, Muramasas, Red Steels, NMHs, Tatsunoko vs. Capcoms?? Are they?? Judging from the sales and receptions, im gonna say  no

I just don't get why some people are so against freedom to chose.

Hey getting them playing video games in general is a step in the right direction. So then when they see you playing away theyll think your just having fun rather then being lazy, since they know firsthand. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

in my experience, if they see me playing a Tvs.C or a GE or a COD theyll think its too complex for them and dont even bother. just like last gen and the gen before..etc. and I have my own gym set so no one thinks im lazy

Women love Zelda and Metroid. Zelda's fandom has an absurd percentage of women in it. Most of the sales of Skyward Sword, on launch day? Made them to girls and ladies.

No objections regarding Zelda, but Metroid? I think you are basing this too much of your wife's taste, I just can't see women liking sci-fi themed entertainment a lot. There's of course some who do, but they are a clear minority.

There are certain sci-fi series (Metroid somewhat, Mass Effect moreso) that women just devour. It's a simple point of fact! My wife is an example of it, but for the sake of this discussion it's more important to look at the communities she participates in, which are over 90% female as a rule of thumb. The really serious fans, fans of the characters and the lore, are increasingly female.

I don't believe you. Well, I am willing to believe that Metroid is the #1 sci-fi video game series when it comes to appealing to women, but nothing beyond that.

When you say communities, do you mean message boards on the internet? If yes, you could also say that PlayStation fans absolutely love Sony's first party games while sales tell a different story. So if this is what you are talking about, then I find your argument not exactly convincing.

Also, the exclamation point after saying that it's a simple point of fact is suspicious. There's a good chance you are just fooling around.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to attempt to convince you of anything.
