We are not talking about ANY game..we are talking about Mass Effect 3.

You pretended that it's 'incredibly immersion breaking outside of combat and inside of combat it's quicker and more intuitive to just use your controller'

When people like myself who have spent over 50 hours on the series ACTUALLY playing the game know that the whole point of using your voice to command the team, change weapons on the fly etc. actually INCREASE the immersion of combat. Pausing the battle multiple times in every single battle IMO took alot of gthe immersion out of it (even during the most intense ones) I would have loved to at least have had the option to play some of them on the fly. No game thus far in history uses voice to actually talk and interact with characters in the game. As a fan of Mass effect I that Kinect in THIS case actually ADD to the overall Mass Effect experience. Meaning 'Better with Kinect'.

NOW your changing this into 'bu-bu-but MS said it Kinect would not just be used for casual games.'

So what are we now pretending that Mass Effect 3 is Angry Birds?

Here's the truth..Kinect isn't for everybody and it certaintly will NEVER be 'Better' for ALL gaming experiences. This is exactly the SAME place ALL motion control devices are in.

Kinect is arguably the best family device out there now. But, even at this early cycle in it's existence it's been used or slated to be used for more core experiences like Gunslinger, Child of Eden, Forza 4, Halo Anniversary, Madden, Tiger, Fable, Steel Batallion, Ghost Recon etc.

No one EVER needed Kinect to control Halo or Gears when the 360 controller is simply perfection for shooters. I've lost a gazillion hours of my life to Skyrim and I would absolutlely NEVER want to walk around using Kinect, but I would have loved to have seen it implemented in things like Shouts during combat (which is rumored for DLC) or even lockpicking or something.

Again, it's an optional device that some gamers won't enjoy but millions and millions will. No one is forcing people to use Kinect with ME3 or ANY game, but as someone who owns it, I think it's great that developers are providing that choice.

It's pretty clear which direction Microsoft is going in with their recent updates. Constantly pushing Kinect games over standard style games, it's pretty inevitable really.
