Quick Look: EX: The Gunstringer

Twisted Pixel is the master of FMV.

Very boring.

This game looks surprisingly fun

This is the first Kinect game I've seen that has actually legitimately looked like a decent game/worth playing. Kudo's to the dev team. Shame that it's the only one in nearly a year of the thing being released...

Saw a live demo of this at PAX and it looked fantastic.  Not sure why, but this quick look looked pretty crappy, must be the slow streaming on my computer.  Anyway, this is a solid addition to the Kinect "must buy" list: Dance Central, Kinect Sports, Child of Eden, Fruit Ninja Kinect, and now... The Gunstringer.
           

 I hope your being sarcastic?
           

THAT GUY IS STANDING THERE BORED AS FUCK SWAYING HIS ARM WHILE A VIDEO PLAYS ON SCREEN

HOW IS THIS A VIDEO GAME AND HOW IS THIS FUN I DONT UNDERSTAND AW MA GAWD

I love love love their humour - too bad none of their games appeal to me.

Wow, Pokecapn/Medibot reference in a quick look? I feel like he just broke some sort of 4th wall.

well good to see there is some variety in there, that was one thing I was worried about.

Don't insult me! I'm not.

Either way, what's partying got to do with standing still and waving your arm while a barely interactive video plays on your TV?

It doesn't, really. I wasn't arguing for the game, I was arguing for not being a dick.

Looks fun to me, though.

So polarizing...! Lots of negativity in the comments, and my impression halfway through the QL is "hot damn this looks awesome, if I had a Kinect I'd put this on my NEED list right now!"
 
Love the undead cowboy theme, controls look very good for a motion game, love the humor and the FMV stuff, the switching between perspectives and movement/cover/dual pistol modes looks like a good way to mix things up and keep it actiony. I don't see anything not to like about this other than "oh it's Kinect".

It has heart, but no spine to support the gameplay. Sometimes I feel like Kinect isn't a technology meant for games.

Oh shit, Medibot and Pokecap'n did commentary? Goddamn, if I had an Xbox this would be a day one for me now.

Have to agree with many others on here - this game does not look like fun.

This is one of the few games that makes me kind of want a Kinect.

LOL xbox pause

The controls look surprisingly responsive but ...it just doesn't look like a "game' they did a good job keeping it varied but as a full title..just seems to fall flat, graphics are passable, and the whole "shake your arms wildly" thing just ...ugh motion controls, waving your arms = the new waggle. But Twisted P remains the FMV masters the arms putting down the explosive barrels is just genius.

Genuinely the first game that makes me wish I had a Kinect.

Serious conversations over extremely stupid stuff. It's half of game development. :)

Don't even have a Kinect but tempted to buy this since Twisted Pixel knows that Phish sucks.

@BlueHermitDog: god damn, me too

This looks dumb in the best way. But there still aren't enough games for the Kinect for me to go out and get one.

Ugly hips.

Looks way better than the DLC.
