Been here 3 years and still don't get 

Quality sells.  Games that aren't good don't. (usually)

I am not saying that it means they are better games.  I am pointing out that some of the best games does not get praised online because they are not exclusive when in real life people could care less if they are exclusive or not.

What games? Have a couple of drinks today?


You seem angry? lol  Relax bro.

I would say Far Cry 3, Tomb Raider (2013), and Metro Last Light are 3 examples of this recently.  Great games that go unnoticed on forums for the most part.

Guarantee if they were exclusives with ads that would change.

It's not even with exclusives only, as I've recently noticed that a particular segment is down-playing Destiny pretty hard.

Personally, exclusivity doesn't mean that I'll alter my opinion. I'm not much of an Uncharted or LBP fan but I'd love to play Halo or Pikmin, for example. I'm not going to pretend one way or another.

What I find really, really annoying, though, is when people attempt to refute your honest opinion by calling you a "fanboy" without any basis at all. I don't like Killzone because it's an exclusive, I like it because it fits in perfectly with my gaming tastes--someone telling me that I only like it because it's a Playstation game just pisses me off.

I like Sony's styles of gameplay in general.

For the record i think Ryse looks good. Its just needs tweaking a bit. I would buy it if i purchase a xbone



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Something I've always noticed on forums and YouTube is that exclusives are always the first to get praised regardless if they really deserve it or not.  Yet in real life it is usually the 3rd parties that are selling more.  All a part of the fan wars I suppose.

Anyways to my point.  If exclusives got swapped would they suddenly get praised by the people who was originally hating on them?  Also let's act like it was never an exclusive and it was just announced.  Let's use InFamous as an example.  If InFamous was just shown off and it was an X360 exclusive instead of a PS3 exclusive would the sony fans hate InFamous and now the Xbox fans love InFamous?

You can use any other game as an example if you want.  Alan Wake, Forza, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Gears of War, etc  Not really sure if I explained it well or not but I hope it is good enough to base some opinions on.

What I guess I am saying is, does something being exclusive automatically make you happy just because the competition doesn't get the game you can?

Why don't you be a little more specific about what you're trying to get people arguing about?

What is this most recent example that made you think of this? What example of "getting praised regardless if they really deserve it or not".

I'm dying to hear which exclusive it is that you think doesn't deserve praise, and fanboys are praising because they're fanboys. Let's hear it.

It's a matter of point of view I guess. Let's take LittleBigPlanet, it's a platformer with bad bad bad controls and that's unforgivable to me so I do get the impression it gets praised just because it's an exclusive or at least that its flaws are overlooked because of it.



Signature goes here!

Around the Network

All you have to do is look at timed exclusive games to get your answer.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

I believe if you have a favorite console (which I believe saying everyone does is a sound observation) then you feel some pride in the fact your console has games that another doesn't. However, most people don't base their favorite console on name by itself. Halo fans love their Halo while InFamous fans love it. People initially liked their favorite console because of the games in most cases. So if they were switched then they would probably move to the other console.

Counter argument: yes, they would flip-flop in their hate/praise because a lot of people started out with 1 console. That console had its exclusive games that the people played. Because they had those games and not others, they started liking those games more. For example I got a PS3 with God of War. It was one of the few games I originally had. Because of that I really enjoy God of War. If I would have gotten an Xbox 360 however, I would have probably gotten Gears of War and therefore enjoy it more than I do now (not saying I don't enjoy it). And I wouldn't have been playing God of War as much so I wouldn't enjoy it quite as much.

I feel like there are too many variables to your question. Is this a sudden switch at the current moment or a switch at the very beginning of the generation? If it were a switch at the beginning of the generation, I feel Sony supporters would still be Sony supporters and Xbox fans still Xbox fans. However, if they switched right now then I believe most people would stick with the games. (This is assuming most people's console preference comes from games and not other factors and that they significantly like one's games over the other).

InFamous, killzone, or even Ryse.

Far Cry 3 has a 90+ metacritic and has sold 5.16m.  Rated better than the most recent killzone and infamous by a good margin and demolishes them in software sold yet we talk about those games more.  Ryse is being dubbed as QTE the game yet it gets talked about more than "The Division".  Why?  because it is an exclusive.  




       

Some people would probably still hate the games, while others would be praising them.

tomb raider and far cry unnoticed? thats a new

Guarantee I can find 10x the threads and conversations about InFamous over Tomb Raider and Far Cry combined.  For a while the only reason people made threads about Tomb Raider is becasue people was saying it was a clone of Uncharted.  Not shocked you are in here though.  I was expecting you at some point ;)
