Why do people hate motion gaming so much?

Ive been reading a lot of hate on the PS move (along with the Kinect but thats another forum) and I seriously dont understand why. They took what the Wii has and made it 100 times better. How is that a bad thing? I mean seriously the Move controller picks up the slightest movements you make, its very fun to use as well they just have to make more good games for it (like sports champions). I guess I just dont understand where all the hate is coming from, some people are seriously pissed off about it too.. its kind of funny actually =P. Its not like them releasing the Move is interrupting any of our favorite games, its just a bonus.

On the other hand I will never understand the appeal for the other motion gaming hardware, it just seems like they can only release certain genres for it because only certain genres will work. I was watching X-Play and they were reveiwing the fighting game for that other motion hardware and the guy beat the game by acting like a kitten and batting at the screen.

I want the move once more games are readily available for it. I think it looks really cool.

I don't hate it, I'm just completely uninterested by it, and will always stick with the normal controller

Because people think gaming companies should cater exclusively to their interests.

Unless your talking about the Kinect I wouldnt call it Flaling around, the Move is actually very precise.. the gladiator game on Sports Champions is very fun, and its not a game where swinging wildly at your opponent is rewarded you actually have to think about where to hit. As far as most shooters and other types of games like Fallout or AC go I will always use a reg. controller, but there are alot of could be games that would be great with the Move controllers.

I don't hate the move at all, I just really dislike the fact that there are NO games for the friggin thing. It's just a massive waste of money, that's my issue. I have 2 moves basically collecting dust since they first came out. If there were some games that didn't suck donkeys then I probably would actually use the things.

I don't hate motion gaming, but I agree with what my dad says about motion game

"I know that it supposed to make you more into the game or have you excrise, but gaming is meant to be played by sitting on a couch in front of a T.V, not jumping up and down like an idiot in front of your T.V" or something close to that, I think I added a few things there

I was one of the biggest skeptics. But I played a store setup and fell in love with it. It is light years ahead of the wii. It measures depth and the most intricate movements of your wrist. Dont believe me, try going for the gold cup on sports champions in table tennis. I agree the game catalog is really weak at the moment. But that will change. I prefer ye olde dualshock as well, but it is a refreshing change and games like the fight: lights out are excellent ways to get a workout while gaming. Its also fun and not intimidating for the casual gamer to approach. My mother is nearly 60 and loves playing the beach volleyball.This is also broadening sonys audience of gamers as well. Which in turn means more money, which ultimately could end up in the form of nice kickbacks for its community of gamers (all of us) Whether you choose to endorse it and enjoy it is your choice. But accept at least that it is good for the system and good for gaming in general, because it is inviting more people to find out how awesome our little club is ;)

I don't have anything against the Move, it just doesn't interest me enough to spend the money for it. I'm still waiting for them to come out with a game that makes me say "I gotta buy that". Hasn't happened yet.

I don't hate motion gaming, I just don't care for it that much. At the end of the day, I'd rather have a controller in my hand, but motion games are fun for a while to say the least. I have a Move controller and Sports Champions, and while pretty fun and responsive, I still only found myself playing it a few times around November and have since never touched it.

people see motion gaming as casual, so now that the other companies are going for it, they see that as meaning they're only going to focus on casual games. meaning less games catered towards them.

basically a greedy / "this town aint big enough for the both of us" mentality

Uninterested in motion gaming.

Not that I hate it. I see it as a great thing for expanding Playstation.

Some people love motion gaming. My friend who constantly plays fps games told me it was awesome.

Motion gaming = Main focus family games.

Sure you can use move with Killzone 3 but that's your preference but I'll keep my controller with the 2 analog sticks.

im lazy...and its inaccurate(or im just not coordinated enough for it) but i like my controller...only thing i got to move is my thumbs and fore fingers...a little more with pc...but its more comfortable then standing up and movin the whole time i play a game...only game id do that with is ddr

Motion gaming is casual fun for having friends over with a few beers (if your of age of course).
Other than that, there is no reason for any serious gamer to pick one up at the moment.

Conjuration

Motion gaming doesn't have to be only for the casual fan. Generally speaking it is, but I would argue that is more because it is more closely associated with the wii, which is seen as a more casual console.

I can't speak for the Kinect, but the move is incredibly precise in a way that I think can enrich the experience of a "serious" gamer. It's all about immersion.

I don't hate it, I just have no interest in it. I prefer to use a controller.

I guess you can't fault somebody for honesty. Although, other than exercise titles and The Fight, most of the move stuff I've seen seems to be more small movement control. Now, I'm not saying fast wrist action isn't being active, but if we call that exercise we have to call a lot of things exercise.

It's pointless. I'd rather press buttons.

I don't hate motion gaming. I did have the chance to play PS move "Sport Champions". The volleyball and archery were fun. Didn't mind the "frisbie golf" But that is about it.

Maybe becausethat a lot of the games seemed rushed. That the controls seem tacked on.to me it just seems that the developers are not putting much effort into this? I could be wrong but it just seems that way?

PS Move may get better as timegoes on?

Its not that I hate the motion movement in gaming, its that there arn't any good games to support it. A saying we joke with in our development course is "If you have an idea that looks dead, make it Move." and it seems like an accurate way to describe a lot of motion games right now.

The story, graphics and even gameplay stinks, but the concept of motion seems like its only justification and that's not good enough for me. I think the potential is there, but until it arrives, I will keep playing what I already enjoy.

If someone can create a more compelling use of the technology that makes me interested in it then I'll check it out but currently theres' nothing so I'm simply staying away. I don't hate motion gaming.

I am pretty sure you cant grab a gun and go outside and start shooting people without getting killed so its an adventure in your living room more or less. If it gets used right and its comfortable they could make shooter games much more funKurupSoldr

wouldn't go as far as hate but I don't like how far some people take it, as the technology stands right here and proably in the near future (don't own a crystal ball) it's nothing more then a gimmick that enhances some games (mostly shooters and party games) but for normal "hardcore" (it's late and can't think of a better term right now) games a normal game controller works WAY better and yes, I do include the wii in that.

They can't afford or it kills them to actually buy it. They feel they are forced to purchase the motion controls and would go as far as calling it a gimmick and making many other excuses to not have to purchase it. Also see: 3D TV 3D Gaming.

I hate motion controls because when I play videogames, I want to sit down in my reclining chair and relax, with as little movement as possible. Motion controls force me to actively move around, which I get enough of in my normal day.

As far as Move is concerned, there is not that much out that is any good. I heard sports champions is good. Some people think Tumb is cool. Heavy Rain is supposed to work well with it. The controller still responds faster for Heavy Rain than the move does. MAG uses it, but I am not into that game. Heroes on the Move uses it but every preview from all over the internet does not like that game at all. The only games that might use it successfully are Killzone 3, and Socom 4. That Sorcery game looked cool, and No More Heroes also will use it. These games have yet to prove what move can do. Not to talk about other companies but even Nintendo does not push motion control like they did when Wii first came out. A lot of the newer games for that system have people holding the controller on its side, or have classic and GC controller support. Other than sports games, rail shooters, and FPS games, it seems that classic controls are still the way to go.

it seems many of you arent "getting it" i dont think anybody is stating that the move and motion control is now their preferred way to play games. we all have ps3's so we are all used to regular gaming. it is just nice to have the option. yes, sometimes i just want to sit there and play games how i have for the last 25 yrs. but sometimes i would also like to get up and swing my arms arround like theres a swarm of invisible bugs in front of me. if its not your cup of tea then fine. but "hate" is a strong word, especially on mlk of all days lol. itll never be how i play certain games. im never going to play ssf4 or uncharted2 with it. but for games like fight night, killzone, madden, maybe even star wars tfu, it would be fun to have the OPTION to play that way.

Calibration takes literally 5 seconds for the Move, and the sports champions games dont seem all that rushed to me really. I especially love Ping Pong because its so much like the real thing. I also dont understand what you mean by the graphics are bad, although I think most gamers nowadays are way too spoiled when ti comes to graphics.. you expect way too much. I appreciate any graphics nowadays really, I guess you can just be glad with what you get and not always want something more ;] ryuz4ke1

"100 times better" really? Not that good with math huh? wooooode

Its a love/hate thing. Or maybe a love/yeh watever, thing. I love motion controls. But I don't think the potential has been reached with the move (or the wii) in terms of what it could be used for. Give it time, there will be lots of interesting games for it in the future........ I hope. Its great with Tiger 11 and some friends :P. Though I don't reccommend it for the elderly. My olds couldn't get the graps of holding a button while you swing. It was frustrating for them and me.:roll:

I personally wouldn't invest in motion gaming, but if I have access to it I definitely wouldn't mind playing it. I'd rather stick to the good old fashioned controller anyhow.
