 I'm not sure yet but I'll try out the voice recognition of kinect when in conversations in the demo. I'll probably not use the voice commands but I hope actually speaking out the lines in convos can further immerse myself.....

What do you guys think? Will you use kinect? 

[KadianK]

I don't play the game on Xbox 360.

But, if they have incorporated it into PC gaming, then I'll most certinally use voice command. I don't see why they wouldn't have. But, let's hope so.

No. Expending the 1 joule of energy to hit a button and getting an immediate response is far more efficient then spending 100 kilojoules and wasting time by speaking to my system, and waiting for the crappy VR system to decode, translate into game code, and activate.

[Yuqi]

Nope.

[CanonShepard]

Yep. Not to open doors or pick up items or for dialog. I'll be using it to access whatever powers are unmapped to buttons so I don't have to pause and use the wheel.

[Icinix]

I'm going to see if I can get it working on the PC - and will use it eventually when I pick up ME3 on xbox cheap.

The idea of being able to yell commands at dumb AI squad members is just too satisfying to pass up.

[iRAWRasaurusREX]

I have one, but I do not plan on using it. Perhaps using it for a little bit but I personally like controllers more.

[AlexMBrennan]

No? Most gaming headsets include microphones, so why would I need more proprietor Microsoft bull****?

[Bad King]

No because I play on PC. I can see it being good for an Xbox player as they don't have many hotkeys and they often need to go into the power menu. I'm wondering how it will cope with non North American accents though.

[Pilotgregster]

Nope. I have no reason to buy a Kinect, and as much as I love Mass Effect, there's no way I'm going to buy one just for that. Not at the kind of prices they sell for. I can play the game virtually uninterrupted using the hotkey buttons on the controller anyway, so it wont make that much of a difference.

[hawat333]

No. I play on the PC. My wife -from now on- plays on PC too. That Kinect stuff is not nearly enough to convince her to return to the box or to convince me to start playing on that platform.

Because those very same gaming headsets do not have the same voice recognition software with noise cancelling that the Kinect has.  Developers can focus their efforts on a single proprietary  piece of software/hardware to make it useable for the masses.

I for one can't wait to try it.

Maybe I'm an eternal optimist in a sea of cynicism, but I think it would be pretty cool telling a squadmate to move "there" and have them respond back with "Right away, Shepard"  or say "Ashley, shotgun" and hearing her saying "Changing weapons".

For me, I think that kind of experience would further enhance the realism and immersion of the game.  Think of the possibilities of the future...

Mass Effect 4... the DiALOGUE WHEEL becomes recognizable via Kinect voice commands!  Highly improbable, but not impossible!  

For instance in the dialogue wheel, instead of statements, you have KEYWORDS that must be said in order to get a specific reaction, but you can form your own sentences with those words.

HEY! No one said I couldn't imagine... :-)

EDIT: OOPS!  Just saw a vid where you can use the Kinect for the dialogue wheel... just not the way I envisioned it.

Kinect as a device holds no appeal to me, so no, I will not be using Kinect with ME3. No point in buying it only for this one game and I'd probably forget about it anyway.

BINGO. That's what I plan on using the Kinect for too--it's essentially a new quickmap for squadmate powers. And judging by what I see in the videos, it looks pretty damn responsive, while keeping an air of reality (if you shouted to your soldier comrads to throw a grenade, would they throw it instantly at the moment you said it? The pause seems to be an agreeable split between realism and gameplay).

All that stuff about opening doors with it or choosing dialogue options with it just seem to be tacked on, particularly when just pushing the "A" button would be faster. The "QUICKSAVE" voice command is kinda neat though.

Essentially this, I'm a fast talker but my thumb can hit the button much faster than I can speak, the speed of sound is fast, but in this case it's not applicable.

Anyway, it would only cause my neighbor to call the men in white coats since I live alone.

[DiebytheSword]

For the demo I will, but as I've ordered it on the PC and there is no support for the Kinect on PC from bioware (but there is now support from MS) I'll have to wait to see if I can do that down the road.

[LPPrince]

I have Kinect, so I'll try it out in the demo, and that might influence whether I use it in game or not.

I might occasionally use it in combat, but I certainly won't for dialogue.

[SarEnyaDor]

No. I have the Kinect and it takes forever for it to respond to "Xbox, play DVD" and I don't want to have to worry about my commands being followed in a timely fashion. I'd rather use my controller and have it done instantly.

True, but essentially having the possibility of using the command wheel ZERO times is a big boon to me.  No matter how fast I press the buttons, it seems to ruin the flow of combat for me.  ME2 mitigated the issue with using the directional pad for squad powers, but there were instances were I found it was a royal PITA.  For instance, if you press the left or right directional pad for a micro-second too long, then instead of using a specific power against an enemy, you just put them right next to a YMIR mech head on.

I personally think it's an advancement in gaming and if it's implemented right, it can really enhance the overall experience.

I also used to think things like this were advancements, that is until I put things into context, for combat it's clumsy and slow reacting, now if the dialogue was via microphone, in other words I could have a natural conversation(within the confines of the game dialogue of course) I'd definitely call that advancement.

[kregano]

If I somehow obtain a Kinect before ME3 comes out, I'll give it a shot. If not, I'll have to make due with the controller.

[ironzy85]

i will not intend to use kinect for ME3. As it does not appeale to me. I will stick to controller, as it is more responsive.

[Sidney]

Got the kinect and will see how it works for the in combat powers and such but can't see using it for dialog or doors.

[Lunatic LK47]

No. I game in my bedroom, and therefore kinect will be sub-par 90% of the time. I don't see the point in using it, even if it's voice-exclusive stuff.

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

Once games using the camera arrive for the PC version, I will get one. Using kinect as a mic for ME3 isn't going to happen for me.
