Voice commands seem like a great idea, especially for a game with so many combat options but I still think it's a shame that this only works with Kinect. It's feasible that VC could have worked with headsets despite being easier to program for on Kinect.

Actually it takes quite a bit of processing power to do the voice commands like they are in Kinect, there are some articles floating around where Bioware explains why it can only be done with Kinect.

I think the Kinect integration is really looking good, they had similar voice commands with Halo CE Anniversary and it worked flawlessly.

Hopefully it works just as good here.

" there are some articles floating around where Bioware explains why it can only be done with Kinect. "

Because MS paid them to and that's the bottom line. MS needs to validness their E-Pins so they can say "Kinect, it's also for HARDCORE". What a crappy gimmick this thing is.

I kind of doubt Microsoft had to pay Bioware to add Kinect controls. Bioware has a fantastic relationship with Microsoft and Microsoft probably only needed ask for some sort of Kinect integration.

I find it funny so many people complained saying Kinect could never be used for anything "core" and now that it is and it looks like it works well, people are still finding reasons to complain.

I guess you cant please everyone, but I for one cant wait to use the game with Kinect integration, loved it in Halo CEA and it looks even better in this game.

The processing power claim is likely BS.

PCs have all the processing power in the world to do voice commands.

I think MS paid for extra Kinect functionality and the processing power claim is simply part of the business arrangement.

They're two corporations, I wouldn't put BSing about power limitations past them.

This is a casual 'fun' feature at best. No one is using this option on hard or insanity mode.

Most of the commend require intense strategy and constant pausing during major combat.

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast519d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman519d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast519d ago

IAMRealHooman519d ago

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
