MegaHurt Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Are there any decent games worth getting that aren't sports or games that are coming out? It doesn't seem like much news has came out as of late and I have one but it's only collecting dust on top of my TV and I'm about to trade it in.

Foxxy kyle Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Lots of fun games out there for the kinect and its anything but dead. I dont think its for certain people though and certain game types wont work well on it. In my opinion Its more of a device that can be a blast when your playing with a friend but not as much fun when playing alone. Tons of fun games to play with friends and is a blast when you are.

HugTheBear Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Some Kinect games I thought were good: Fruit Ninja, The Gunstringer, & Rise of Nightmares. I haven't played Haunt, but I heard it was good. There are quite a few games coming out in 2012 for the Kinect. I am looking forward to Ryse. Fable The Journey could be good too.

iBuzz7S Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 As I said here, There is nothing out there that would encourage me, personally, to purchase the device. That said, it definitely is not dead. I think a good chunk of sales is the PC market, who have taken the device and done some amazing things with it. Microsoft catered to this by releasing software so people can play around with the device, on their PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The upcoming Star Wars and Fable games are the only reason i have kept hold of my Kinect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaHurt Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yeah I enjoy some of the "party" games like bowling and sports and stuff but I really wanted them to be more innovative like some Shooters or something more original than swing a fake golf club or that half assed attempt of a fighter game that launched with it.

Dz06lt Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 kinect was born dead, just like PS move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBuzz7S Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 kinect was born dead, just like PS move Actually, PS Move is alright. They implemented the damn thing into so many games, useless or not. At least Microsoft could of done that, but nope, they didn't. Blame the developer, blame Microsoft, it doesn't matter. Simple fact that they chose not to implement Kinect with a few older titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazerz1990 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I've never considered getting a kinect, so to me yeah it is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scienceakasyco Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I finished a blog update on this last night. I think the Kinect is anything but dead. The games which it is merely featured in ME3 and Forza 4 show that developers are taking it seriously. As many said when the Kinect was released, it was an experiment. It brings people who don't game often or at all into the frame and able to share in the fun. Remember, the Kinect can do much more than games. I think the games so far have been okay. Ghost Recon will be out soon which looks impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginge88isfun Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Some games are worth getting on the Kinect like Rise of Nightmares, Gunstringer or Fruit Ninja but I think Kinect needs to be implemented as an optional component into a major title like Call of Duty for it to gain any interest from gamers that are only interested in playing them kind of games.

ChickinOnaChain Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 If I had the room, I'd get it for my wife to exercise with. But with a very limited space between the TV and our 400lb. coffee table...about 6ft...it's not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H0p3sfalL Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Have yet to pick one up. Thinking of doing now b/c it comes with 3 games which is a good deal for the price that it is. ATM on the kinect front, things have been pretty slow imo. But im sure it will change when ME3 comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forza 4 & Mass Effect 3 are pretty major titles. Kinect has optional components in those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graith Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I got a kinect a year and some ago and have 20 games for it. I play it alone and with other people all the time. It's not dead and has never been dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBearzilla Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 My wife and kids enjoy the kinect. But im thinking it will end up like the wii we used to have. It was fun in the begining but after that we didnt plY with it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjc0961 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Dead? I wish Sony put as much behind the Move as Microsoft puts behind Kinect. Move is dead, which sucks because I'd like to use mine for more than first person shooters and the odd Wii port. Actually, PS Move is alright. They implemented the damn thing into so many games, useless or not. Most of these games have it implemented poorly, though. The only ones I've tried were it was actually fun and worked well were Killzone 3 and LittleBigPlanet 2 (and sadly, that's just some DLC levels that really use it, otherwise there's no difference between it and a Dualshock). Everything else I've tried didn't have proper sensitivity settings to adjust how fast you want the cursor to move and/or the game is just easier to play with a regular controller.

CORPSE THROWER Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I bought Kinect for $99.99 shipped with three free games. It was a BF deal so i jumped. As far as games go the best so far i played is The Gunstringer which came packaged in. Forza 4 and Kinect is just a sideshow imo. Scared to try Mass Effect 3 on Kinect.

coloneilfrost Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 i wish..... if kinect were dead microsoft could spend more time on better exclusives instead of halo...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eli1277 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I bought one recently for my kids because they wanted it and they hardly ever play it. They are too addicted to Little Big Planet 2 on the ps3 I guess. I don't think it's dead with the new Star Wars game coming out for it and with PC integration being added. By the way, what is Fable The Journey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpster2 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Scared to try Mass Effect 3 on Kinect. Honestly give it a go with the demo, it's just voice controls (in combat and talking scenes) and it works amazingly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
