Top 10 reasons Kinect sucks

prime example of what xbox kinect sucks is all about, dawg

so yeah, dis makes is kinect worth buying make a lot more sense dat cray

this could be made into a provocative list about top 10 kinect games

what i would like to know is who controls the ideas for the kinect i have some that will make Kinect a lot better and more people will use it as an everyday awesome tool

"One final tip: Microsoft has said that you want to put as much distance between you and the Kinect sensor as possible. I suggest serious gamers do just that"

That was a fantastic line.

You are talking utter crap...
F**k you bastard.

RANKER SUCK :)

The person who wrote this article couldn't afford to buy a kinect so they cried about it on the internet and made up half of the reasons on this list. :'(

you are exaggerating

I t isn't even an original device it's an eyetoy ripoff.

They are using a kinect device at penn state to make a robot that flies around and makes maps of rooms while detecting signs of life.
For those of you that say it's not innovative, go suck a chode.

This is incredibly over dramatized So you have to play with the lights on big deal, and every consol add on costs money, and so do games. You thought it would be free hardware? Also you don't have a living room? It's not gonna work if you set the game up in the smallest room in the house, it should be in the living room the largest room. And who's going to be on top of you while you're playing a game, or walking in front of the screen, isn't this common sense? and there's only interference with voice commands if connect is too close to the television , but if there's a barrier around it to block the tv sound from it then that problem is solved, and it doesn't cost a fortune to do that. Kinect doesn't have a power cable it plugs in directly to the xbox. I doubt you even bought it. S**t I don't even play the games for it. It's used for more than just games.

your an idiot.

Haters Gonna Hate

probably the one who wrote this lives in somewhere smaller than a dog's ass and is freaking FAT(or handicapped).
Dumbass.

Wow! The person who wrote this article is a dumb minded thick s**t and obviously has more time to moan than to realise how stupid he is when using technology.

Why do people even bother? The internet is full of enough retards!

let me guess..a f'd up sorry no good prick of a sony fanatic..yeah..i bet you are. leave the real game consoles to the real men you small fry dickweed.

I've only had the space problem, but none of the others. So I guess I'll just move my living room around for a console part I hardly play lol. Or buy a bigger house lol

This is the biggest piece of s**t I've ever read. I have kinect and disagree with pretty much all of this. 1. 6-8 feet is not bad, the way it works it requires space. 2. It works in pitch black or even lit only from the back and well everything I've tried it in just fine. 3. You can play some things sitting. How would you achieve full body games and sitting at the same time anyway? 4. Never been an issue or even heard about it being one. 5. If people hit eachother in kinect it's they're fault if they hurt eachother in real sports IT'S THEY'RE OWN D**N FAULT. 6. It's a camera, mic, 2 controllers sometimes more, packing games, and the tech behind it, not expensive. 7. Not an issue at all, I wear black the way it tracks... They just write that to make sure... Never mind just trust me. 8. This has got to be a f*****g joke, did you use all you're good ideas? Oh no it requires an outlet for some users... 9. They're own fault. 10. You are cus you only like controller games.

its good! now stop being a hater, get off the computer, and do something else with your time.

you suck

You are going to need to tidy your room. It uses a power point. It costs money. Really??? NSS. Don't get me wrong there are things that suck about Kinect. But these reasons are lame.

I don't have kinect, yet it still manages to annoy the crap out of me. When I'm playing online games there are people out there who use the kinect as their microphone. It picks up every possible sound and distorts it as much as possible. It's really obnoxious to listen to.

its not that kinect sucks, its that you and half everybody else out there is either to incompetent or to damn lazy to get up and turn on the lights and pick you s**t up off of the floor. and unfortunately the day hasnt come where your item unwraps itself gets out of the box and holds your hand while making you a sandwich and telling you everything is going to be ok. because its NOT until dumb asses like you stop expecting everything to be so f**king flawless.

I bought a gay Kinect because I was drunk at Best Buy, and I've tried so hard to want this piece of crap, it sucks, I sold it to my friend at a loss just to get the junk out of my sight. Gay gay gay gay

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. Thank you I needed that. Going to buy some extra lighting tomorrow. Lmbo

This is asinine. The points you make are petty and exaggerated.

Basically every Kinect game is about dancing, exercise, or some gay kiddie game about with animals.

Ermmm, I might have a discussion on your ability to use grammar! your title should read, Top 10 Reasons WHY THE Kinect sucks - Sort it out before you moan about other things!

Have any of you actually realised how juvenile you sound? Get a life people!!

I bought a pair of moves and tried champion sports and the fight: lights out. both worked extremely precise, and are really really cool. Aside, i playied with the kinectic on a friends house, i liked it, but most the games are casual. I preffer move, but it sucks when you need to (re)calibrate, anyway, enjoy the system you have, and dont flame the others. Funny/nice article, keep the good job.

Lol, i own a kinect and 1st of all, i have it in my basement where the cielings are no more then eight feet high, and it can be played with no more then one light on in the whole basement if I want, like you said it uses Infra-red, second of all i could play the game butt ass naked if I want the clothes statement is rediculous, third off all it is only $150, that is extremley cheap considering that there is no extra attatchement you are going to need, no extra controllers (Wii, and PS3), and fourth of all no matter what gaming system you purchase you are going to need an extra outlet, either to let the controllers charge (or purchase battery opperated, which is a wholenother expense), also you can play the kinect from less then five feet away from your TV (not that far), fifth of all the audio calibration on the Kinect is an option, if youre speakers really are a problem (which I have not heard a single complaint about) then you can opt to turn off anything that involves voice activation, sixth of all why the h**l would you buy a Kinect and expect to play sitting on the couch thats just stupidity, and last but no least, I guess I love my kinect and the "Barn with Stadium Lighting that I live in" and if you are going to say that all asians and eourpeans dont even have five feet of room in their house you are sadly mistaken.

I like this article, because it's right. Truth is, Kinect sucks, Move sucks, and Wii sucks. The only difference is that the people that support the latter two know that they suck while MicroFans continue to try to boost their c**p to the Hall of Fame. It's not a new idea. It's been around for years; before the Wii. Remember those retarded games where you were like, Bat-Man or a Jedi? They were the same idea, but on a much smaller scale, hence doomed to fail. My favorite part about this, is that when Wii was selling loads of systems, every XBox fan out there was like, "Wii is so gay. Why would I want to play that? It's so stupid. I would never waste money on that." Yet here they are, 5 years later. Hypocrites...

i love it

We are so poor ps3 fans…. Ps MOVE sold 140.000 units in the first week, worldwirde!!

Kinect sold 1 million units in 10 days…. It shopws ps3 gamers dont have money, all those kids want new games all the time, and ask mommy for them, but now it shows, even paretns dont want to invest in s**tty toys anymore

We should have kinect on ps3… ah well…ill just go back to playing ma lil big planet again

It's just an EyeToy wannabe. The summary was hilarious: standing up in a barn with a stadium lighting system, wearing a neon tracksuit and playing your Kinect on your new TV and speakers without your friends!

hey stop whining, i mean yeah, its not meant for hardcore gamers, thats why i aint gonna buy it, but is not c**p, kinect is for kids and people whos not hardcore fps players, let em have their fun

KInect rocks people, Just picked it up yesterday, felt a little sad for all the games standing on the shelves, so i took Sonic free riders, Kinect sports, and Joyride with my on top of the kinect + adventures pack.



First, Turn on the Game Mode on your Tv It will improve reaction time, we were experiencing some lag in sonic and joyride, but the game mode really makes a difference (on our 40 inch sony bravia 40w5500)



Kinect sports is awesome! I still have muscles aching in my arm and shoulders from playing Boxing, i never gave a damn about football, but in this game i actually love it! The whole atmosphere of the game is very good as well. And the playability is excellent. We are loving it people !



Kinect adventures is fun, we enjoy the Squash type of game, hitting the balls back and kicking them, its just fun people! The waterslide is a bit getting used to though, but its definetly not a bad game.



Kinect Joyride is a fun racer, when you get the hang of it, i dont see how a site like 360achievements can rate it a 3 out of 10 though, i guess it depends on the players state of mind. But we enjoy this stuff



Sonic is hard at first but the sound and things happening keep it interesting.



You just have to... how do would they say it in english... row with the paddles that you got.



Kinect works great and we really love Kinect sports, its just worth getting it only for that game already.



You will need enough space in your room here its about 3 meter long by 2 meter wide, and it works fine for 1 player, we havent even really tried multiplayer yet cause we antic**ated its just a bit to tight.



anyway, those saying kinect sucks without even trying it, should check it out cause your really missing out.

I bought it with the thought that if it sucks, ill sell it again, but i aint selling it now i tried it, i just needed to get it to see how it was, even when i read most game reviews were c**p. In reality, game reviews are c**p, cause they often give people wrong impressions



Kinect is a WINNER! cant wait to see what the f*ture will bring, id say Bring it on!!

Lol good article. Any serious gamer wouldn't bother with this Kinect c**p for their 360 and if they wanted kiddy games that track your motion just buy a damn wii.

What a f**king whiner

I don't own a kinect or an xbox, nor do I want them, but this article is complete BS. Quit yer b***hing.

I love Kinect, had it when it was released. Great fun, alone or with friends. Sure I had to rearrainge my living room, but sometimes thats what you have to do when you get any new piece of electronics or furniture. I have no complaints! More drunken fun on the way.

Its obvious the writer hasn't even used the kinect and instead derived most of the info from prelaunch beta tests or articles. A lot of what was said simply isnt true of the launch device. So much for journalistic integrity.

This is a pretty sad article. I dont have a kinect nor so i want one until some interesting games come along but everyone I know who has bought one is quite happy with it. They also have had no issues with space or lights or clothes.

Kinect is it even out yet? Who knows?

Some of the stuff you post isn't even true! You don't need bright lights, decent lighting only matter for the facial recognition. It uses the IR cam for all the body tracking which works in a dark room, so clothing color doesn't matter either. Get ur facts straight.

Awesome article. I applaud you.

WAH,WAH,WAH!!! ALL I FRIGGIN HEAR FROM YOU IS WHINNING!! WHY DONT YOU BE A BIT SMARTER AND DESIGN ONE AND QUIT YOUR BELLY ACHING!!!! JUST MY OPINION.

the author is very childish. None of these are true except that you need 6-8 feet of space and video games are expensive. The lighting reason is not correct because Kinect uses IR to track the person, light only matters in facial recognition and even then it works as long as its not pitch black.
