...for buying at midnight then selling it on eBay?

Both it and the move suck.

that is all.

Move is great. You suck... cherry blow pops because they taste great!

I didn't found it interesting. So IMO it's not a great investment to me.

I liked the Move though...

I'm desperate for the release of Sorcery. That game looked awesome.

I don't give a hoot at all about the Kinect. I don't want to get tired playing sub-par motion games :(



But what I'm reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally ticked off about is the new xbox update yesterday :mad: Why the frikin' crap did they mess up the semi-decent menu formats they already had made? Now it looks like basic crap, it's insanely linear, the new sound fx are awful, and the dashboard lags. :mad: Why was that necessary to prep for the kinect launch? I really want to know. And in the game library menu you can't see extra dl content, you have to go to the marketplace and find it yourself. *raaaaaaaaaage*


The only one nice thing is that gamerpics are slightly more enlarged so you can actually tell what the pic is....

Actually for me, the dashboard doesn't lag as bad as it used to. For me it actually loads up pretty quickly. Although besides that, everything else I do agree with. The reason why I personally don't like the sound fx is mainly because it sounds a LOT more like the Wii. I'm sure the main reason why they changed it when they did was because that's also the day that Xbox Live went up in price. And also, we have ESPN now...fucking stupid. That's what pisses me off about this whole thing is that they're going to make me pay for shit I don't want. But whatever, once my gold is up then I'm sticking to silver from then on. The multiplayer games on it are starting to feel the same anyways.

I find Kinect's technology to be a dead end as gameplay technology. I don't see how it could possibly bring change gaming for the better. I've heard some speculation about using a standard controller with Kinect to enhance the experience, but as far as I know there aren't any games that do it yet.

Plus the launch lineup is incredibly underwhelming. And the price point too steep. So Kinect, for now at least, gets a big fat NO from me.

My advice... ignore it for the gimmick it is. Can't really be bothered with motion sensor tech anyway.

That damn update for Xbox Live for this crap screwed around with my copy of FFXI, keep getting stupid error messages telling me to download it again... How the frak can I download it again WHEN I ALREADY HAVE THE DAMN DISC FOR IT?!?! It's this shit, which pisses me off with M$. I already have a sinking feeling as to what I have to do to rectify the damn problem (namely format my HDD, then reinstall... which takes 8 hours >.<)... good thing I've got my damn transfer cable and can transfer the content from my Slim to my Elite HDD... then transfer the data back AFTER the reinstallation.

The new update also limits the themes you can use. If you're one of the people who know how to make a Japanese account on your xbox and have themes from it, you can't use them now.

Typical... bloody M$ screwing us Xbox 360 owners over again... I really need to get a new desktop PC... and before anyone says it, I will NOT get a PS3. The games I play a lot of on Xbox 360 I can get on PC... though... the cost of purchasing all those games is gonna hurt >.< .

Kinect and Move don't interest me at all.

Unless a truly amazing 'proper' game comes out for them, that utilises the technology in an genuinely interesting way, I have absolutely no intention of buying either of them.

I'm not buying either. But this game convinced me that Move is my fauvorite of the 3 current Motion gaming gadgets.

i liked the new FX for the dashboard.
but i hated everything else.
SPECIALLY THE ABUSE OF WHITE.

so im there at night playing resident evil 5 when i recieved a message from someone, i instinctly press the xbox button and HOLY FUCK IM BLIND.

Yes that was another complaint of mine. What it seems to me is that Micro$oft is trying to make things look and sound like the Wii. Now I don't have any complaints for the Wii but I think it is kinda lame that the 360 just feels like the Wii now (minus the remote). Kinda like they're trying to copy Nintendo or something is what I'm trying to say.

they should have at least made us choose the color of the dashboard.

^ agreed. Is it really so out of the question not to give us the ability to modify the dash for ourselves?

Every serious gamer knows kinect is krap, point is, Micro$oft is making it a bigger deal than it really is and there are lots of gullible people out there who are buying into it especially since the holidays are almost here. How many people here actually have 6 - 8 square feet of playing space for it?

Not me. Heck, I don't even have enough room for nes track mat :(

i have.
but i wont buy kinect until its in the bargain bin.

Well... it would seem the recent update for Kinect as well as the Dashboard has screwed over a LOT of people and caused problems for which M$ Support only say "We're currently looking into the problem".

I was told to uninstall all my games, then reinstall them and that should work. They then told me to format my HDD and then reinstall to see IF that works. Yet, they STILL have no real idea as to what has caused not just my problem, but everyone else's.

Good thing that the majority of Xbox 360 Games I own are available on PC, so I can get them on that. For those that aren't, but are on PS3.... well, let's not open that barrel of fish.

I would get the Kinect for Milo.


:billymays:

milo is canceled.

nevermind, the project was unshelved.. again

nevermind, the project was unshelved.. again

When did that happen? I thought it was cancelled.

its status both on wiki, gamefaqs and ign are back to TBA.

"Milo, a special game for that special pedo in the family"

Huh?

Wiki says Milo was released in 1996

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_(video_game)

In any case tho, I still haven't bought a Move, and my 360 plan has been shelved after I raked up a huge debt on my card.

Frankly, I think it's all so much premature gun-jumping, from all three but ESPECIALLY Microsoft. I haven't especially liked the DS's gimmick (touchscreen), and the Wii's controls feel 30% worse again. The only DS game that is a joy to control with the touchscreen is Spirit Tracks. I'm underwhelmed with Mario 64 DS's "controls" and don't even bother with SoulSilver's touch mode. On the Wii, the two native games I have for it are at times downright fucking FRUSTRATING to interface with (Twilight Princess, and Resident Evil.....Resident Evil did not need more control problems, though the GCN controller option was smart). So......Assuming Nintendo's new innovation works out, Sony's MIGHT too.....But Microsoft's way out of its league trying to leapfrog into optical controls.

Somebody's clearly never played Hotel Dusk or Trace Memory on the DS then! :P

clearly you never played blazing angels.
adivce: make a joystick for it.

this means the brightness on your tv is way too high.

or that ITS WHITE, on a room with no other light source.
and on a 42', that square is quite big, as big as my previous tv's screen.

Well, I wouldn't buy a Kinect unit, because I'm not really fond of these new ways of control. I prefer the classic gamepad or my keyboard & mouse :D

I know I have about 2 feet of space to play around in. I read somewhere, maybe joystiq.com, or something, can't remember, that the Kinect took about $50 dollars to build. and they're charging how much for us to buy this thing...?
