I don't personally care for Kinect or motion controls in general but, reading this left me with a good feeling. If only because of a father being able to finally able game and spend time with his son and the son finally able to play games (and more so with his old man). Microsoft probably didn't intend for this but, I'd say it's worth a a pat on the back for them.
Well, that's sweet and all, but I'm still not getting Kinect. It's useless to me. It's nice that kids can enjoy it. If I had children I would probably buy the damn thing.
Personally I think the interface can be improved quite a lot, dance central is closest, but they all need adjusting to the new tech. Maybe after some time it'll be better.
Well, I have been very against Kinect ever since it was announced, but I can admit I was wrong when I said that this system has no value whatsoever. It's very good that it helped a father connect (no pun intended) with his son.
I just want to stop and take a second to thank you for breaking the asshole barrier for me. I have wanted to post a joke about this topic since I saw the op go up but what with everyone on here being all mushy it felt wrong. So thank you. <3
On with my horrible, horrible joke!
Yeah, because there would have to be something wrong with you to actually enjoy the fucking Kinect.
There. I said it. I feel better.
But in all seriousness. Good for them. I may hate these gimmicky piece of shit peripherals being shoved in our faces but I do appreciate them making gaming easier on those with disabilities.
Just a note, the spectrum of Autism is very wide, running from indistinguishable from anyone else to the classic-autism severity that usually gets highlighted in the media.
Also, did dad ever try his son on the Wii? What I got from the story is that dad said "xbawks?", his son got frustrated with the controller (as have thousands before him) and dad gave up on video games with his son entirely instead of trying another system.
the fact that the kid was autistic might have had a hand in him understanding the controls so well. Autistics such as myself are generally quick learners when its in a field we are interested in.
