narcolepticshee Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I've had my Kinect since the Christmas it came out and have barely used it, apart from a few plays of Kinect Sports here and there but I've really got to say these Kinect Controls are outstanding. It just uses the voice commands (no physical body movement required!), but I find that I'm ordering my squad to perform actions with complete ease and without breaking up the action/immersion. Ordering a squad member to perform an action is as simple as saying their name followed by the move/action. ("Liara, Warp" for instance). You can also reload and change weapons (by simply saying the weapon name such as "Pistol", "Rifle" etc...). One of the coolest features is in conversation being able to actually say the conversation options present to you. Just saying that Kinect has actually vastly improved my Mass Effect 3 experience as opposed to most other games which either hinder the gameplay or feel tacked on for no reason. Anyone else enjoying the kinect controls? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufiboi Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I played a few chapters so far and re-activated Kinect now on duty Gonna give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazman83 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Have to agree with you, really surprised with how well it works! The only issue I've experienced is during a conversation my gf said somthin to me an it choose an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2j420 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I wish one interaction they had put in with Kinect would be to control the Galaxy Map with Kinect...would be kind of cool to stand up and scroll through the Galaxy with your hands...

The 13th Knight Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Don't know if this is possible but I wish u could do this just using a headset. The Kinect functionality in this game has really made me wonder if i should get one. Plus it would be useful when watching netflix for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules the great Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 YES, I must say that they werent lying this iteration of Mass Effect is definatly better WITH Kinect. While I am happy that for my PS3 playthru Im looking forward to NOT changing discs, Im not looking forward to not being able to use Kinect.

wariowarrior Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'm loving it with Kinect. Works really well and actually enhances the experience and is a much better way to issue commands than a menu interface. Only downside is my friends in my party get annoyed with me saying 'Liara Singularity' every 30 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gokumoves Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I remember way back when on the original XBOX when you could order around your squad mates in one of the rainbow 6 games using the your head set... unfortunatly, that giant EMP that hit earth wiped away that technology and humanity could never quite figure it out again ... either that or MS could easily still do it and is trying to F us in the A and make us buy worthless Kinects.

KabuKiArcade Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 You guys are missing the best application of Kinect, which is messing up your friends game! I was at my buddy's house and tried to use the word 'grenade' as often as possible in all my conversations. Having his Shepard throwing grenades in empty hallways, or at his squadmates was a riot. Later, when he got fed up with that, I started shouting non-sensical commands such as "Garrus play dead" or "Liara get naked" which of course most of the time you'd see the red microphone indicating the command was not recognized. But I lost it when after the 4th failed command I said "Garrus go outside and play hide and go f*$% yourself" and he replied "Okay! Right away!" and then ran into some cover. Haha...

I found it a great release for my frustration watching a friend losing it in a battle. I would just shout "throw grenade" or "Liara singularity" and turn the tide. That way I didn't have to see the same battle again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
