POLL: Was Kinect actually good?

[Deleted member 546149]

The Kinect is one of the most controversial accessories for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Did you like it

I really liked it for the DDR style games. Anytime I brought a date home it was always a hit because you didn't need to hold a controller and it replayed the video of you attempting to dance back to you. Made for fun nights. Besides that, yeah it sucked... LOL. I feel like it could have been great, but developers didn't really take full advantage of it.

Yeah I picked up the 360 one and a load of games to try recently. But there is a lot of calibration needed and controlling anything is quite flaky. Occasionally you can get a good session on dance central or kinect adventures but it's light dependent and you need space.
The voice control for Mass Effect 3 etc. could be the best bit I reckon as that is responsive.

I've used it a lot for Child of Eden, it played a lot better with Kinect then using a regular controller in my opinion. There was also that game from razer and beard with a western style marionet that only used Kinect, loved that game.

Edit: the Gunstringer

I liked the Kinect. My family had a great time playing Wrekateer and Fable the Journey just to name a couple.

Did it require a lot of free space? Yes.
Was it inaccurate? Yes.
Was it fun? Yes.
Was it entertaining? Yes.

I played Dragon Ball Z For Kinect and I enjoyed it a lot although that's probably because I'm a fan of it already so may be biased.

For the Xbox, no...

But for ghost hunting, it's an invaluable set of hardware cameras! You can get used ones for next to nothing at Goodwill stores sometimes.

Check out this ghost that climbs over Lee (sleeping) and knocks over his nightstand like a douche:

The faked Moleneux demo was great.

Even if annoying, it's still fun
