[citation][nom]Netherscourge[/nom]Hardcore gamers are gonna cry because it threatens their comfy, cozy "sit on my butt and move a mouse/push buttons" mentality.The problem with Hardcore gamers and their sad state of denial is that they expect the game's graphics to move them emotionally. The Kinect expects YOU to move YOURSELF physically and emotionally.It's the physical involvement that has Hardcore gamers upset with Wii/Kinect stuff. Anything that threatens their couch-potato lifestyle must be instantly trashed or else they may be expected to physically exert themselves in some way to feel relevant or, god forbid, be entertained...[/citation]

You sound almost offended, man. It's not that we (or I, for that matter) have anything against physical excercise. I actually do enough of that. Its just no fun to do it while gaming. I feel pretty stupid moving around when playing a game.

[citation][nom]stratplaya[/nom]hehe. With these comments it sounds like a lot of fat MS hating gamers just prefer to sit on their butts and twiddle their thumbs like mad instead actually moving.[/citation]


well, if i wanted to bowl. ill go bowling. if i wanted to play tennis, id go play tennis. If i want to jump up and down and workout, or jog, ill go JOG/jump around. Your lazy in general if you have to have a darn game help you workout. Don't get me wrong if its a room full of drunks then the games might be fun to play, but I Gaurantee a night out at the bowling alley with your friends and or (KIDS) will be funner than standing around playing bowling on kinect, same goes for tennis, volleyball, golf, table tennis, all that stuff is funner in REAL life.

Know whats not as fun in real life? GUN fights. Action games. Dangerous driving. and so on.
