I was thinking about Kinect when it launched, and about how a minimum of 8 feet of space would be cutting it close in my apartment. Then it dawned on me that since someone lives under me, I likely wouldn't be able to play many of the sports/fitness games, since they involve running and jumping.
I know this isn't a fault of Kinect, and it's just a result of the games' designs, but I bet a lot of people haven't thought about that until it's too late and they've already made the purchase.
Bad voice acting: √ Cheesy, cliché lines: √ Futuristic robots with a primary goal of destroying humans: √ Screaming while running and shooting: √ Protagonists putting themselves in danger by entering the line of fire: √ Crotch shot: √ Ridiculous ammo reload: √ Enemies with terrible aim: √ Sassy black character: √
You've got a solid list going so far, Sega. Don't give up now!
@Otis M. Whiitaker: One theory is that blackmailing Joe Crackhead for a million dollars wouldn't be a very lucrative strategy. Blackmailing a celebrity would be.
I completely understand your point, though. It's an entirely valid one. Celebrities do get treated differently, and sometimes that leads to unfair favoritism.
@arionfrost: Like I said, I don't judge those who do it. I just don't wanna hear "why it's okay". Too many people think that they're special and the rules don't apply to them.
To anyone who thinks they have a valid justification: picture yourself saying that same thing to the authorities, and if it wouldn't hold up, it's a dumb argument.
Pirate: Please, Mr. FBI, you have to understand... I wasn't going to buy it anyway!
FBI Agent: Oh, well why didn't you say so? You're free to go.
