    That is an annoying concession. I don't really feel like micromanaging everyone's squad powers except when necessary.

    Voice commands are a novelty, certainly not a bad thing if optional.

    It's by no means ideal. You can look at the icon by their name at the bottom to see if their cooldown is over, but at that point you might as well just open the wheel. I just liked saying the power names and having it work everytime, never had a problem with the conversations either.

    I always have auto squad powers off. It makes the game far more tactical and RPG like. Otherwise they spam their powers and when I really need it, they are cooling down.

    Steam, when it comes to older games, sucks. You can't run mods on them. With GOG I can download Fallout and then apply the mods I want to improve it's visuals.

    Yea, steam needs to cut that shit. It's kinda annoying. You can isolate the program, but you shouldn't have to.

    I basically make my cut off around 2000 for steam games.

    GOG is pretty good.

    On Xbox 360, the Gunsmith system can be used with Kinect if you want to, but while the Kinect integration isn't intrusive, there really is no point in doing so when it's faster to use a controller.
    Just like I said (when they demoed this at E3)... to many protests from the Kinect fans since.

    Anyone else play the steel battalion demo?
    It's sewer shark levels of bad production, kinect core title fantasies will be even more crushed.

    Why does capcom insist on using gratuitous vulgarity?

    Go ahead and put that over there with all the other kinect games rated in the 40-60's?

    Shit, that's a pretty damning claim.

    One thing they do now, I noticed, is they have these platform wars, like "Xbox is better than Playstation." That's nerdy to me. What the fuck is the matter with you?

    Unfortunately not, expectations are extremely low these days.
    It's killzone "rotate the sixaxis controller to disarm the bomb" evolved and could be heralded as the next best thing. The first 10 seconds of the demo has you raise your right hand to catch an apple tossed at you........now thats immersion!

    It's just more tacked on silly motion controls.
    Love me some fruit ninja kinect but people are still delusional for some reason.

    Who are you guys talking to? Me and HD dont even post anything in this thread and you guys just bounce your kinect hate off of each other. Its amusing.
