Okay okay, now before you rage and say voice commands, and a lot of you do.
The Xbox One is primarily a gaming device, lets not forget this, thats what it was made for, and thats why people will buy one. So, you buy this device, now you have a smaller black box in there, which needs to be plugged in, starring at you for no real reason.
Now on a gaming aspect, what does this thing do? Are there any good games that use this? Do they do it well? For a system that is so dominate on keeping it as a compulsory addition, is there anything really keeping it from being necessary?
*sips tea*
Also, slapping your hands in the air to watch your Merican shows doesn't count as gaming.

Well it helps for using commands in Battlefield 4, and being able to record something cool you did in the heat of battle is nice, pretty void though, with no real way to share it. You can also bring up snapped apps more easily while in-game and such. Overall it's NOT worth the $100 pricing.

I actually really liked the voice commands in Dead Rising 3, being able to yell "Hey Zombies!" and get them to go towards the source was surprisingly helpful, as well as being able to change back to default clothing without a closet using voice commands was useful.

It turns people away from buying an Xbox One.
-
It spies on you.
-
It gives the whiners sum thing to whine about
-
Ruins your gaming

It senses your tea [spoiler][b]I AM A GOD[/b][/spoiler]

You can use it so 'Murica can spy on you.
-
It can watch you masturbate.

On NFS: Rivals while I'm driving I can just call out my intended destination (repair shop, hideout, etc...) and the gps sets to that location. On BF4 I use the coma rose (need ammo, health, etc...) to call out to teammates on what I need, where to go, etc... Not to mention when I just boot it up to watch nexflix I can sign in, go to netflix, pick a show, go to it, and even pause and rewind it all while I'm doing something else with no controller. I think the potential is definitely there, more developers just need to take advantage of it in their games.

What Nintendon't. *budumtsh*

It's basically useless...
-
The Kinect does nothing at the moment.
-
It makes for a great time if you have a name like Xbox Bing.
-
The kinect watches you touch yourself
-
It's really useful of BF4
-
Send your data to the CIA, watch you when you sleep, and helps the enemy team kill you.

Muh voice commands! Muh hand gestures! lolKinect People payed $100 just for the above.
-
Microsoft and developers have claim that it can sense your heart beat and be able to use that for gaming aspects such as turning on dramatic music when tense in a big fight I guess. They also say you can use it to put your face on a player face in game.
-
you can't really complain about lack of purpose when it has potential, but the development pf software for the "next gen" consoles is still lagging at the launch wave. you gotta give devs time to make software or the hardware will of course be useless...
-
Voice commands, hand gestures and video games.
-
BUT BATCH WHAT ABOUT TV?? For proper games that you and I play it serves no function. MS only it made to compete with the wii since the wii attracted lots of parents to buy it for their kids.
-
The kinect is a spying device used by the government and the illuminati to watch you. Never leave it plugged in when u are not using it.
-
I'm sure there will be better games for the Kinect in the future. It'd be interesting to integrate the Kinect into games with interactive interfaces (i.e. Cortana, although she is an AI). With time, in-game voice commands could become a thing.
-
It does some annoying shit that if I get in the room it notices me and even though I put a password for my profile it keeps on telling me that I have to use the controller to sign in unless there's a way to stop the kinect from trying to sign you in every time I go in the room <(-_-)>
