Hey everyone, so I just bought a Xbox One without a Kinect off Ebay for about $100 cheaper than usual so I was wondering how the UI functions without it. Is there anything major I'd be missing out on besides voice controls?

I really just wanted the console for the games (mainly Titanfall and Quantum Break) but if its really worth it, I'll consider buying a Kinect off Ebay later on.

Well they always said it's optional, so I'd imagine it'd be decent. Just the idea of Kinect is that you can quick select things using voice, and in the past 2 months of lets players, twitch and youtube showing off just how goofy Kinect is..... I believe you did the right thing.

I mean, I always wanted to have Kinect support in Assassin's Creed since brotherhood, and that's never happened. You know, do a small gesture and then an assassin guild member comes out and kills an enemy for you...... doesn't that sound simple enough?

I'd imagine it's entirely usable. You won't get the voice commands that seem to be pretty useful but it doesn't look like the UI would be a hassle to get through.

Totally useable, but not without some baffling menu and settings choices and locations.

It's super fine. I don't use kinect at all (except for the face log in stuff) and I haven't had any problems.

It's not nearly as cumbersome to get around as people make it our to be.

Once you get used to where everything is, it's fine without it. That being said, I usually keep my Kinect on...when it works it's pretty neat.

Definitely looking forward to the system update in March. The whole thing seems to be a step back from the 360.

the kinect is pretty great in my opinion. It needs some learning, but works just fine and will probably get better as user feedbacks are implemented into the software. I still use the standar UI alot, has a lot of flaws, but for a controller UI, it works just fine.
