So, whats the consensus so far? Should I play with Kinect or a controller?

Maaaaaan...

Swery, why you gotta do this to me? I can't buy an Xbox just to play your stupid little game. Although, I guess Forza is also on the Horizon.

Just finished Episode 1 (took me 2 and half hours, trying to do all the side cases and exploring everything), and this game is amazing. Super charming and quirky, just like Deadly Premonition. Definitely a personal GOTY contender.

I tried with Kinect at first, but ended up just using a controller. I can see the action scenes maybe being fun with Kinect. I'll have to try that later when I have a better Kinect setup.
 
The two weeks between now and Shadows of Mordor and FH2, might prompt me to check this out. Though I've never played a Swery game, I like what's been shown and the price is nice. Will probably watch of twitch streams when I get home from work.

Shit - I was browsing GAF for a good time today and still didn't know this was out until someone mentioned it in another thread. Bought!

Oh good, its been a while since I played Deadly Premonition and I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. It was an awesome little in joke.

I'm liking this game so far. I took my time basically exploring and interacting with everything, doing so builds up a nice back story for David. I've completed the prologue (which took longer than I thought) and am eager to see where the game goes next.

I've played the first few scenes and honestly, what impressed me was the Kinect controls. I turned them on basically on a whim even though my current setup has the Kinect about 3 feet from where I sit. It still worked almost flawlessly. Was really surprised; I expected it to be very finicky or not work at all at that distance.
 
Yeah, pretty sure I read somewhere that Swery said it was more fun with Kinect, wanted to see if other people's thoughts matched up.

Maybe try playing with Kinect to see if you like it, then controller if you don't? Or play through once with each :D

edit: sorry about double post
 
Getting to spend time with SWERY has been a real highlight for me this year. He's such a genuinely awesome guy - passionate about games and game development, passionate about bringing some 'weird' into games, passionate about his perspective and the perspective of other developers. Oh and passionate about beer and steak.

He also has my #1 favorite instagram feed.

I hope people pick D4 up. It's bonkers in a great way.

Insta purchased the second it went live at like 2am last night. Wont get to actually play it till later tonight though. Swery became an instant legend with Deadly Premonition - which might be my game of 360/PS3 generation.
