Only two of them games are IMO worth a buy, ODST + L4D2.
And one of them isnt exclusive.

Full exclusive for me means single platform, end of story. And don't give me the Windows bit - that's an OS, I'll be buying it direct from Valve via Steam and if I wanted could use Linux rather than windows.

Yea. You use Linux.
Are all the command lines, hardware/driver issues, virtual machines, limited software, and frequent updates REALLY worth stickin it to the man (Microsoft)? I mean, Linux is all fine and dandy, but PLEASE man. LFD/LFD2 are optimized for Windows and Xbox 360, whether YOU or anyone else, likes it.
Then... Microsoft can't force companies to make games available for Windows as well. You think they'd restrict companies from making releases on PC when they've been campaigning PCs and Windows 7 so heavily? Cmon man... really.

Even with the optimization issue, you can damn well expect that L4D2 on Linux will COMPLETELY CRUSH the Xbox 360 version.

My point is it is a mistake to see L4D2 as somehow exclusive to MS due to Windows being dominant OS on PC. That's like saying every game on PC has been exclusive to MS in some form - which is clearly nonsense. I don't intend to play on Linux but mention it to emphasie the fact Windows is just an OS in this situation, and nothing directly to do with the game.
My money goes to Valve exclusively as I'll be buying the game and playing it on Steam. MS involvement in the situation is incidental.
On console it's a 360 exclusive, but in my book any 360/PC title isn't fully exclusive as it allows the choice of another platform. I don't have a 360 in many ways because so many titles I'd be interested in are on PC and I prefer to play them there - therefore I don't see how you can say it's fully exclusive - if it was I'd have to buy a 360 to play it, and I clearly don't.
As I also pointed out, MS push to emphasize titles such as Gears 2 as not coming to PC clearly shows MS themselves see a big difference between fully exclusive to 360 vs available on PC and 360.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

No....Your so wrong...You need to have the top of the Line HardWare to get such a difference...So what happens to those who don't have Xbox 360 nor a gaming Rig?.....
Yeah....There you go...
^^
Yeah, but I do have a gaming rig. That's the point.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I have PC too. Still getting it for 360 because online is safer that way and most people have headset in LIVE. But PC will probably have more DLCs. |
As with L4D, I'll be getting BOTH versions because it's that good.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
I`ll be picking up Halo: ODST and L4D2. Multi-platform games will be providing me with most of my gaming goodness this holiday season.
Funny list (ODST = expantion, GTA = DLC, LFD2 = not exclusive), but some great games! I will get ODST and maybe Left For Dead 2.
"The PS3 has Ratchett and Clank. Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2, GT5 and FXIII in Japan if that counts"
@woopah
It does for me. Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2 GT5 and FF13 (I live in Japan) interst me somewhat more, too! Plus, EyePet, PixelJunk Shooter, Trine, Dead Nation and Gravity Crash, also.
So many games, so little time...
Playing and finishing games first>>>>>>>>>>Then talking!
