Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why is Titanfall Considered a Big Exclusive for XB1 but FFXIV not for PS4?

celador said:
MS payed for Titanfall 'exclusivity' and marketed the hell out of it. FFIV is just a game that's on PC and PS4.


And PS3.

Can we agree that both are good games and because of that good news for everybody?

...

Please don't hurt me...

Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

lol context is key. Both are multiplats but one is simply more desirable then the other.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Average? No. Titanfall is amongst the best reviewed games on 8th gen at the moment.

The X1's "savior" is significant price cuts and numerous noteworthy games. That's the same thing that saved PS3.

@Bold: Because the Generation has been sooooooooooo looooooooonnng.

@italics: and free online multiplayer, and free games/no paywall on its subscription service, and europe and japan, and optional peripherals, and losing billions of dollars, and including everything the 360 had as peripherals in the system while maintaining price parity, etc...

Titanfall is a game that people want to play (goes for both, Xbox and PlayStation fans) while Final Fantasy XIV is a game that people don't want to play (goes for both, PlayStation and Xbox fans).

Final Fantasy XIV was met with a collective "yawn" ever since its announcement as an MMORPG.


wow, comparing some generic cheap ass shooter with best mmorpg in past years.

Because the lack of exclusives in both platforms.

For example... I love inFAMOUS games and it is a real exclusive but it is not that big exclusive like some hyped it... at the end it did a hell better than what I expected and it is good.

Same for Titanfall... the lack of exclusives makes the hype for this game goes to heavens but at the end it didn't lived to the hype... great game but not what people hype expected.

Isn't it great how opinions work?

Can't get any more generic than Final Fantasy 100 to me.



Pay-to-play is a complete turn off.

How would you know that the average consumer considers Metacritic as the main judgement of their own personal view of quality. Its completly arbitrary, and it artificially qualifies games based on someone elses opinion. Even in the movie industry, its common for the fans and the critics to disagree, critical acclaim is just a buzz word.

An RPG/Open World gamer would have a vastly different list then someone who prefers FPSes. If you switched there lists, it             would be absolutely worthless to either of them.

All Metacritic is in an aggregate of "expert" and fan reviews. Its just a more complicated version of the previous example. If your going to make a list it is only valid if it is objective, once you start qualifying it becomes useless to any consumer whose prefrences didn't match the reviewer's.
