Lawdeedawsays...It depends on the type of game. Would it happen in real life? Or no? Okay, end debate and grow the fuck up.
Hanover_Phistsays...I think he summed it up quite nicely. "Fuck you Kinect"
dagsays...Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
Is this for real?
notarobotsays...In the future, this is how we'll get toilet paper.
shatterdrosesays...I think he should be penalized for being a whiny pansy.
If that happened to me, I'd be dying laughing. Not getting my undies in a wad. Pansy.
brycewi19says...Pretty sure he should be able to adjust this in the settings for the game rules.
EvilDeathBeesays...Xbox One, the world's first device that will fucking censor you in your own home
Lendlsays...I don't get why anyone is upset...that's fucking hilarious!
hermannthegermansays...Even better than the technical foul is:
"Fuck you, kinect..!" - Invalid command!
I don't get why anyone is upset...that's fucking hilarious!
newtboysays...Ahhh, but if we're going to use the 'would it happen in real life?' postulate, I would point out that he was commenting as if he were a commentator, not as a player, so why was one player/team penalized?
I don't know why that would be a decent reason for this kind of thing either, most games are NOT like real life in most ways, even this game has many elements in it that are completely unrealistic in order to make it a fun, playable game. If the Xbox1 is going for this kind of unrealistic realism across the board, I think I'll stick with my ps3. I play games for fun, not to allow the speech police in my home. (That said, I don't play online or use the microphone/speech feature, so this likely wouldn't ever happen to me).
I'm just guessing, but is this a feature of multiplayer meant to keep people from spouting obscenities in quasi-public arenas in order to limit customer exposure to unwanted cursing? That would actually be reasonable, especially if it can be turned off with the agreement of both players in an online game.

rychansays...I think this is hilarious. There is an immersion factor to it -- a coach or player could be given a technical foul for this. As already stated, it's VERY relevant for multiplayer.
I would hope this type of thing could be turned off in single player (maybe by simply unplugging the Kinect?).
sirexsays...wait, what ?
by that rationale call of duty should shoot you.

grintersays...I sincerely hope that you cannot turn this off.
TheFreaksays...Some people in this discussion are expressing pretty negative reactions towards XBox One and Kinect 2.0 over this feature.
Guess what. It's the game developer who added this feature, not XBox or Kinect. Go complain to 2K Games.
But then, that would have occurred to you if you didn't have such a hardon for bashing XBox. Still want to bash Microsoft over this? Oh, wait...PS4 has the same feature in these games! If you're the type of person to go into a rage spin over something like this then turn the feature off.
shatterdrosesays...Um, too late, it already does: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/20/the-gadget-show-builds-an-fps-simulator-that-shoots-back-video/
wait, what ?

Shepppardsays...It does? Since when does PS4 require an always-listening device to play any of its games?
It doesn't? And navigating most of the U.I. is damn near impossible without that piece of equipment on Xb1? well, shit. Guess it's a good thing people are defending a useless trinket that should never have been the focus of a console then.
Seriously, go ahead and back up whatever console you prefer, but Xbox One was supposed to be online-only, and always have a kinect, and a lot of the aspects of the console show it. In a battle where graphics are now essentially moot (Both consoles are beefy enough that they really don't matter anymore)
the comparisons fall to the features they can provide.
Is walking into a room and saying "Xbox on" and having it turn on your stuff cool? Yeah. it is. Is that worth an extra 100 bucks? not to me, it's not.

Lawdeedawsays...Because people want them "real" as possible. I am fine with the old games on NES because I don't care. But if you bought the Xbox one well then you obviously need it as close to life to feel complete as possible. His desire, not mine.
Also, didn't know a player was a commentator? Was he just spectating the game and not involved in "playing?" If so I can understand. John Madden used to do this all the time...

entr0pysays...Yeah, it is a bit goofy to blame the microphone for working properly. Rather than blame 2k for thinking up that feature.
Still, I've yet to see anything that the kinect can do that would make games more fun to play. Overly sensitive referees are creative at least.

newtboysays...Well, I suppose that makes some sense for some people. I want my games as FUN as possible...if that means less realism in some ways, that's what I want. I do know I'm an oddball, so I feel lucky that the entire gaming industry isn't going the hyper-realism direction.
As I said, this isn't really an issue for me as I don't use multiplayer or chat much if at all (or play sports games much). If I did, and this is not optional, it would upset me to find out about it after I bought the game and/or system. That's why this video is helpful no matter what you feel about it, it's informative (if only minimally).
It IS an issue for me that XB1 has an always on microphone/camera and an always on internet connection. For someone like me, that's just a door for intrusion with little to no benefit. (I expect to hear about them being hacked by an ex-boyfriend to spy on someone within 6 months.) That's the main reason I prefer PS4 so far, the microphone/camera is optional. I also don't need my game machine to be a full multimedia platform for all my video needs, which seems to be a main 'selling point' for XB1 that's lost on me.
(and I'm not just a PS fanboy, I have a 360 and ps3, but no camera/microphone on either)

ChaosEnginesays...Meh, yet another reason to stick with the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race.
What's that you say? Your "next gen" consoles are struggling with little old 1080p?
Oh... what's this? Why, it's my new 1440p monitor!!
Suck it, filthy console peasants!
MUHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
...ahem...
sorry, lost the run of myself there...
Lawdeedawsays...Nice selection that distorts my argument. Let me quote you in the same fashion.
Sirex said, "wait, what ?" Yeah, great argument there sirex, couldn't have said it better. Lol. Wait? What? Great immortal quote of sirex.
wait, what ?
by that rationale call of duty should shoot you.
