It seems my post not only killed the hype created for this game by its assumed "PS3 exclusivity" but also killed the thread.
makingmusic, we all make mistakes, even me. Let's not play the "gotcha" game here.
I don't think you have the gaul to deny that the generalization about a few hardcore Sony fanboys liking FFXIII less because it's a multiplat doesn't have some basis in reality.
Most Sony fanboys want all great games to be Sony Exclusives, and all Sony Exclusives to be great games. There is no shame in that.
However, don't get angry when someone finds it pleasurable that some of those games will also get released on other platforms.
I don't get angry when Sony fanboys flame former exclusives in order to promote current exclusives, like with FFXIII and Verses13.
Of course, you passively denied that such a thing ever happens, when in fact it happens in virtually every thread related to JRPGs since E3. How dare I generalize Sony fanboys.
If Tekken is announced as a multiplat, here is what will happen:
360 fanboys will throw in some passive-agressive shots.
PS3 fanboys will say, "who cares, not system seller, I like "X" fighting game better anyway."
X fighting game doesn't have to be PS3 exclusive, it just has to exist, in order to marginalize Tekken and make the loss of the series less important to that Sony fanboy in haters eyes.
It's a defense mechanism.
When I drink your milkshake and you say, "Ugh, I didn't even like that crappy milkshake in the first place, but I drank most of it anyway." That's a defense mechanism. The alternatives are unthinkable. Allowing someone to think that they hurt you, stole from you, and you have no retribution, isn't human nature. The termanology "owned" fits(in the milkshake example, not related to any loss or gain of exclusives, owned doesn't fit there, I'm merely explaining my tangent here), but I prefer "punked out."
You can't allow someone to punk you out in frot of your friends. However, this is the internet, and since you can't physically fight, you have to do it mentally. Fighting mentally requires moves like said defense mechanism in order to marginalize your opponents ammo. FFXIII is multiplat? Who cares!? Verses13 will be better anyway. Tekken might go multiplat? Who cares. Nobody plays Tekken. WKC PS3 exclusive? One of the most important JRPGs this generation. |
