Just like motion controls. Motion controls will eventually fade out once "kinect" technology becomes more functional. However it looks that we will have them for a while in the meantime. I was kidding. Motion control was once seen as the next evolution of gaming, but has clearly fizzled into nothing anyone wants or needs. |

I can't play many games I love without them, and VR will certainly need them for a while kinect tech moves forward. In fact one could say pads are the gimmick of the VR world. |

Motion controls have disappeared into obscurity. Just look at the new Xbox One Slim, it has gotten of the Kinect port. You have to buy a separate adapter for it. And don't get me started on PS4 Eye; does that thing even exist? That thing died as soon as it hit the news.

They are obscure indeed, but so will VR at first. That thing is only supposed to ship 1.5 million units in the first year which is no much considering there are 40 million PS4s in people's homes.

Is it just me that has never cared for motion controls or VR in gaming? It seems like such a gimmick. And just to be clear, I have tried it. I think motion controls are fun mostly for party games, and a few others on Wii made good use of them as well like Red Steel 2 and Punch-Out! But overall I do prefer a standard controller. I have not or intend to soon try VR. As for the topic, I don't really have a favorite gen. |

Yeah, that's what I figured. You'd have to be completely 100% blinded by nostalgia to think that was the greatest age of gaming. |

The sun was beamin' down micro-waves that day. I was cooking from the inside out. Chief Balder barged in like he was the RMS Titanic makin' her acquaintance with Herr Iceberg: full speed ahead and no idea how deadly a mistake it was. He thought he could cut me from the case and be done with it. Me and my .45 had different ideas... |

Wow this is hilarious! Did you make this all by yourself Dan E. Kool ? Edit: Yeah, mostly. The 'head-scratcher' description and the thing where I described MeleeMonk's legs was stolen from TV Tropes, but the rest of it is all me (and completely cliche). Thanks. In school my teachers thought I'd grow up to be a writer. I guess we'll find out if they were right whenever the growing-up happens. |
