anyone have one. like it or not? best games?
-
I was a beta tester for it. I don't like it for regular games. Just doesn't feel right for some reason to me. However with that being said I do like some of the sports that are out for it. Kinect Sports is fun with a group of friends or by yourself football, soccer, bowling, and volleyball are a few of the fun ones. Kinect is also good for the workout/dance type of games.
All in all I don't know if I would give the $200 that they are charging for them. It just isn't worth that much to me. This is just my opinion only others may disagree.
-
99 bucks on newegg today. i suspect they make most of their money on the games. that's what ebay if for!
-
I think it is overpriced so I don't have it. My wife's friend has one and enjoys the dancing games. I'm not into that. As for fun games without kinect, I like Skyrim and Fallout.
-
fallout is great. have not tried skyrim yet. by the time i get around to playing games they have been out awhile. the + is that i can pick them up on ebay for a fraction of the original coast!
-
went and got it because it was marked down so much. have been playing with it for the PM. i work out. bike, treadmill, weights, + the work around here.
i hurt.
i think this will be a good addition to my workouts.....as long as no one is watching :-D not sure i like those random pics with the "cute" captions!
also tried one of the dance demo games. now i remember why i don't dance. also reminds me of why i had such a hard time finding my left when we marched :shock:

Be sure and upload some of those action shots on here. :-D
Those are some of the most embarassing photos.

Once upon a time I did a "review" of sorts about the kinect: http://www.godihatepeople.com/index.php/archives/8-xbox-kinect-is-a-steaming-pile-of-poo (http://www.godihatepeople.com/index.php/archives/8-xbox-kinect-is-a-steaming-pile-of-poo)

the games it came with are kind of hokey. i have dumped netflix home delivery for gamefly. i refuse to spend 60 bucks on a game and then find out i don't like it...or finish it and never play it again. i used to buy them on ebay when the got down to the 20 dollar range...but again, i end up with a pile of games that don't get played again.
when i got gamefly, i looked at the kinect stuff. the workout programs are great. have not tried any of the other things for it yet. i noticed a huge improvement in software from 2010 to now. your review is right about hardware.
to be honest, i don't play much of anything in the summer. our winters are so long and nasty that games are a good way to pass some time on gloomy days. when i get board with games from gamefly, i'll reactivate my WOW account :evil:
-
I doubt I'll ever get back into WoW. I'm not much into PVP, and the PVE is pretty repetitive. SWTOR was semi-decent (I liked the storyline aspect) until you get to the end-game. Its endgame is just flat weak.
And yet, I seem to be able to play Mario Kart Wii endlessly... Dunno what's wrong with me.
-
i'm old and easily entertained :-D i play games on easy mode and skip the frustration of frequent death!
i like WOW because i can walk away from it for months then pick it back up when i have time.
haven't tried star wars yet, but my son has encouraged me to take a crack at it.
