Being multiplatform does hurt y enjoyement in a way. I think that when a game is released on a specific platform the quality tends to be better because the devellopers spent ressources on making a game good rather than thinking about all the potentially more sales that they can get, those games tend to lose their souls. However, a port of a game done by an external company doesn't bother me as much.

Its funny how people always say "exclusive are higher quality than multiplatform" whenever Assassins Creed, GTA4, Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty, Battlefield Bad Company, Fallout 3, Batman Arkham Asylum, and Dead Space are just a few examples of excellent multiplatform games. Being exclusive means nothing other than lots of hype.
OT: If the game gets good reviews and your a Final Fantasy fan than pick it up for whichever system you prefer.

I take this personally. Are you seriously compering those multiplat games against exclusives? I can compare those games to Crysis, MGS4, Killzone2, GoW3, Uncharted1&2, Demon Souls, Heavenly Sword, Heavy Rain, Halo 1-3, Gears etc.
Most of those games you listed pretty much fall under the same genra too. The gameplay is great, but it doesn't have that extra greatness in graphic tech which is something a decent amount of people care about, including myself. A lot of people fall for the hype, and then there are those who don't listen to critics.
All i'm saying is, it is better to compare exclusives against exclusives. /end rant

but.....your wrong.
GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty MW2, Bioshock, Street Fighter 4, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, and Assassins Creed 2 all have higher Metacritic's then every game you just listed besides Uncharted 2.
Also 7 out of the top 10 games for PS3 based on Metacritic are multi-plats, only 3 are exclusives. Basically the same way on the 360.
So no. Exclusives aren't generally considered better quality. At all.

I'm not wrong at all. i'm not basing my point on other critics opinions....
the fact of the matter is, multiplat can never look as good or better than exclusives. what part of that do you not understand?

really sorry to but in again but crysis 2 will probably be the best looking PC game despite being a multiplat game. But that that is more to do with the fact that their are very few AAA exclusives on PC :(. But anyway to be safe never say never there are always exceptions to every rule. It is safer to say usually or almost never. Again not an attack I just hate it when people make flawed arguments, as especially when I generally agree with it.
As I said exclusives are easier to make into a truly excellent game. But this gen multiplats have been very close, and some of the multiplats coming up rival if not exceed most exclusives, games like RAGE, Crysis, Arkum city, Enslaved, BRINK and Vanquish are some of the best looking games of all time. That said games like Killzone 3, Gears 3, Infamous 2, GT5 and damn can't think of an up coming game that is certainly exclusive for the PC god that sucks. Ok for the rest of the gen multiplats seem to be better than exclusives, I guess that just goes to show good some of these devs are that they can push 3 platforms almost as far or further than even exclusives other than a few PS3 exclusives, which can be explained by the very powerful but hard to fully utilise and heavily bottlenecked architecture. I guess Sony are the only ones that can/are willing to put the money up for true exclusives. And that some of the best devs are working on multiplats this gen.
But the point still stands that exclusives are easier to utilise and push a platform to it's fullest. But great devs with big budgets can overcome most of the disadvantages and most of the best devs and biggest budgets are working on multiplats. I wish there were more big good devs working on exclusives for all platforms, but there is more money in multiplats and only Sony seems to be willing to front the cash ATM.
