Really that's the best anwser you can get, copy/pasting?
You are not real lol

By the way, you should really bring back the "Halo My First FPS" sig...


What do you expect, your post made no sense. Why would I be mad at getting a game? And a superior version, of all things. MS can keep doing it fake exclusive thing, means I won't miss out on the games

Well trying to constantly insult the brand, the company or its fan base while posting in Xbox threads shows that you are very frustrated/mad with all of this

Now, fake exclusives? You know that even a timed exclusive is an exclusive, right?
Or the concept is too complex for you to understand :)

Fallout is the only one that would make me go ballistic.

And I definitely would go ballistic.

I would blow a fuse if it didn't come to PC on release day :/

Xbox One - PS4 - Wii U - PC

Just to maybe clarify my choices for the poll:
- Batman - not very probable, but a series that received high praise. Not a long standing franchise (gamewise, not the IP itself) to attract big backlash, and not a standalone system seller, but certainly on par with TR.

- Dead Space - currently dead. Would not cost much to have their friends in EA make an exclusive game, or even sell them the IP completely. A well made reboot, marketed properly could be a big spring system seller

- Fallout - a real long shot, but also a game that could actually bring the biggest return on investment. 9- month time exclusivity for PC would do wonders during holiday 2016 (Gears in September, Fallout in November)

- Madden - certainly the game that wouldn't cause much furor from PS fans, but would be a great August seller.

PES - this exclusive could make them.a competitor in Japan

Resident Evil - my choice. We often hear Capcom being at the edge of bankruptcy, they might need some upfront cash. A multi game deal, handled properly, could be huge.

Saints Row - another franchise that is probably defunct. Brand name is still popular, and a step in the more serious direction could resurrect it. While it may not compete with GTA, it could certainly battle for #2 with Watch Dogs, Sleeping Dogs or some other dogs.

I also left out many possibilities in IPs that are not ass established, and that would actually come cheaper, but I wanted to go this route due to TR purchase.
Certainly titles like Red Faction, Just Cause, FEAR and similar would be good additions to the exclusive library.



I hope they don't. Whatever they touch change into s.h.i.t. It's like Midas touch in reverse.

Facts aren't insults. If you look at them as insults then i'll stop posting but I dunno why it's so hard to come to terms with this "fake exclusivity" thing. It just is what it is. Xbox owners that choose to play there instead of PC shouldn't get mad over something that is an accurate statement.

Besides it was a light hearted joke that you turned into something else.



I would say, if we're looking at existing franchises, the criteria would be a third party title that still holds a relative level of brand strength, but recently has not performed as well as it did in the past. There may now be a higher level of risk associated with a large new investment in the franchise. The title must also fit soundly into the MS portfolio and release schedule.

-Hitman
-Resident Evil
-Medal Of Honor
-Prototype
-Crysis
-Tekken
-Mirror's Edge
-Darksiders
-Saints Row

Are all possibilities. Resident Evil would be the biggest fish to catch as it could genuinely move some hardware.

Madden would be the best one for them to buy, but I am pretty sure the NHL would have some sort of contract stipulating the games have to come to all viable platforms so it might not be in EA's capability to offer this.


I do know if this is Aussie ignorance, or a subtil joke, but as vgc's biggest sports fan i can help all you guys remember  the biggest American sports leagues.

F starts for football, also known as gridiron, the National Football League.

H starts for Hockey, or ice Hockey outside of NA and Russia. It is called the National Hockey League.

MLS stands for Major League Soccer.It has an S in it.

MLB stands for Major Boring Ball. Known by old men as Baseball.

The National Basketball Leage is known as basketball, and flopball/diveball.

You remembered some I forgot, like Hitman, a Squeenix 1-2 cash deal.

Crytek is in shambles, but I don't know how much good Crysis purchase would do.

Medal of Honor is probably tainted for good.

Prototype, Mirror and Darksiders I haven't considered because they don't have at least 3 games to consider them established franchises.

Tekken I just plain forgot as I don't know anything about fighting games.

Do not get mad come on. After all, you said yourself that you were creating and posting stuff to insult or piss Xbox / Halo fans like this Halo signature (even if we actually like it) :) Sorry for assuming that all your posts targeting the Xbox fan bases are not light hearted and very pleasant posts!

My bad then :)

By the way, "Fake" != "Limited"... Just saying
