Crazy game but I think that is it's charm. I was sitting there at times thinking "ok, what the fuck is going on" but I couldn't put the controller down. Hope it becomes a sort of cult classic and the team can make some profit at least.

Alright Gaf, I'm buying this.
Quick q. Does my kinect have to be dead center? I hid it behind my tv because I actually use it just for voice commands. Only place I can put it is the corner by my speaker. Like I said. Won't play this with a controller.
Awesome. Bought it through the smartglass app, but it didn't install. Had to goto my games corner. Said ready to install. First time it ever did that since they allowed the smartglass purchase download.

Sounds like the prologue and episode one combined.
And don't spoil it by watching it on YT, wait until you get an X1.
I'm out of work at the moment and to be honest, this isn't my kind of game. I don't usually like Japanese games with the constant over the top melodrama etc but i watched a 10min vid of this and it actually looked quite interesting.
Try to
down 
just lean into the screen
just lean into the screenJust finished the game, great fun! Kinect really works well with this. The action sequences are super fun, we need more of those!!! Ep1 was a little stronger than 2 imo, more crazy character interaction. Only thing that bothers me is the slow talker. He's tedious after a while...
Any word on how long it will take until ep3?
Loved the game. Loved the soundtrack too. I tweeted at him last night too and he said it's coming
So wait, is this you?!?!? (I retweeted it and all that)

I don't either, but this is not that kind of game. I highly recommend that you wait and play it yourself.
I'm weak - it did not take much convincing. Just bought the game with my existing credit and I'm waiting for it to download now.

Definitely, we used Kinect controls and they worked really well for us. Three only problematic thing was you need to exaggerate the swipes to turn the view around because otherwise they don't register. Everything else is fine, items have large hit boxes so you don't need to be to precise and the action scene QTE's are genuinely enjoyable with kinect.
Took us that long to get to the end of episode one but that is doing mostly story stuff and ignoring sidequests and collectibles.

Swery nails it. While using gesture navigation, you puck by closing your hand notby pushing.

So is anyone else incredibly offended by how he is portraying a gay man in this game?
I thought video games might be over that stereotype, guess not.

Look down. Use the left stick to highlight the point.

Which character are you talking about? I didn't notice any gay men in the game.

Really? The Fashion Designer?
1 hour and 10 mins later and the game is still downloading. They should really bring back the idea of trials for every single downloadable game. Not so much because trials are demos, but because downloaded trials are equivalent to pre-loading an entire game before purchase.
I had the trial for Monkey Island 2 on 360 downloaded for years on my console. The game suddenly went on sale last week. All I had to do is purchase the license and right away I could play the game. Because when you download a trial you always download the full game 100%.
You should be able to pre-load any game. before purchasing, even if:
1) The game is already out
2) The game is a retail game
I.E. let's say it's November 15th and I haven't bought Forza Horizon 2 yet. I should be able to pre-load the full game pre-purchase right then on November 15th. Then, hypothetically, I should have the choice of buying the digital license two days later on November 17th, or I should be able to go to my local store, buy the Forza Horizon 2 disc, and start playing immediately when I get home without the need to install or patch anything.
If we had an infrastructure set in place like this for all games, then I would've pre-loaded D4 pre-purchase the day it came out. And I wouldn't have to wait like I am now to play the game, lol. I think this would make things more convenient for everyone.

Where does it say he's gay?
I'm conflicted at the moment, I really want to experience D4. However I cannot get a Xbox One for the next few years (due to external reasons), so I am considering watching a Let's Play of it. Has anyone watched a Let's Play of it, if so did that hamper the experience for you, and which one should I watch?

Aren't you being a little prone to stereotyping yourself? Just because he's feminized, it doesn't mean he's gay.

He's not gay. Hes avant garrrrrrrrrrde.
I could hang out in the apartment and listen to the title screen record till the end of time. Looking out the window, watching the trees sway in the breeze and the leaves fall...it's the most comforting gaming experience I've had all year. I think D4 is exactly what I needed in my life right now.
Depends on how much you're trying to do.
I spent 1 hour on the Prologue, and 3 hours in Episode 1, interacting with as much as I could find, doing side-cases, etc, and I think I may have still missed stuff.

I was able to play it lying down on the ground too! My couch is too far back for me to sit and use kinect it seems. However, I was incredibly impressed with how well it worked with me lying down. They did an amazing job with Kinect in this game!
Finished the prologue last night. Coming back for more today!

Damn I have to put a pillow on my coffee table because it's made out of glass and the reflection messes with the Kinect.

Buy it now or new episodes may never happen.
The three episodes you get for 14.99 is season one.
I was on the fence for this reason too but this isn't a situation where you will sit and wait for more episodes for this season. The D4 release is the entirety of season one - it's prologue, episode one, and episode two. Season one is released in one shot. If there is another D4 release it will be a sequel, or "season two".
For that reason I didn't wait and dove into the game.
Anyone know how many hours it would take to get all 78 achievements? Anything missable?
Huh does it say that anywhere official like in a press release. Based on the ending alone it makes it seem as though season 1 is more than than the Prologue, Episode 1 and Episode 2.

That's it. Pretty sure there's an interview where Swery says that the only way to get more is to buy the game. And I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that there are no more episodes currently in development. So yeah, seems this is it for now.
So it's really up to gamers to show their support if they want more.

don't miss this gem, as we won't miss yours
I'm excited tbh, deadly prem. is one of my favorites!
It's just X1 achievements that are bugged in general
They'll pop at some point, but it seems to be happening randomly in every game for it.
...why?
dude designed it around the kinect. I appreciate his views. I'm gonna try the xbox in my living room. I'm only 6 ft from the bar in my basement set up.
Sounds good.
I'm going to make sure I've got Kinect set up perfectly before starting, probably tomorrow night.
