Wow. This thread went all to hell, and I'm afraid a probably had a hand in it early on. For that, I apologize.
Tbh, I think all the arguments stem from overly defensive PC gamers such as shio, naznatips, and myself. You see, every other day some two-bit analysts writes up an article proclaiming PC gaming to be dead, even though it is not dead, and no where close to actually being dead. Guys like myself get tired of having to counter the same old BS arguments day after day, and when a thread like this pops up that completely ignores what is (in our opinion) the best gaming platform out there, it really rubs us the wrong way, and we react negatively (and quite harshly) towards it.
I think one way to get around this is to simply divide up the list like I have done in the PS3 exclusives thread. Provide one section of true exclusives, and then one section of "console" exclusives for those that don't like PC gaming.
Of course, I wouldn't have included "console" exclusives in my thread at all had it not been for this thread, but that was the fanboy in me taking over. I didn't like this list being so much longer than my own.  |
I do acknowledge PC games in this list. In no way are they being ignored. I just have it formatted differently than you do. If someone can't see which are which, their more immediate issue should be to get down to the doctor's for a new prescription for their eyes.
I made this list for the people that were on the fence with whether they should get a 360 or a PS3. Everyone else's concerns for this list come second. We do not get many topics with people wondering whether they should buy a 360 or bulk up their PC. We do get, almost every single day, a topic with someone about to go down the HD console road. This list is for them as yours is too. I don't expect you to remove The Agency, MLB 09 or NBA 09 because those are games that are not shared on the 360 and that is important to know. Tekken 6 and BlazBlue are available to purchase as arcade cabinets, but obviously that is out of reach for 99% of the population so it shouldn't be a legitimate concern. This is why no "exclusives" list will be perfect, as the more you strip away from it, the less people that benefit from it.
The 2009 list is going to be different however. It will be done to maximize how much help it can offer for everyone, because I see this list hasn't benefitted PC and PS3 fanboys, whom if you didn't know are my main attractions in building this list in the first place. It will only include 360 games that are for sure staying on 360, so if a game is rumored to go to the PS3, i'll remove it. If it's on the PC too, or will be down the line, i'll remove it. If it's just a game that is usually expected to see a PC release one day, but hasn't been announced like a Gears of War or Halo, they'll be stricken from the list. My future goal will be to shorten the list as much as possible to alienate those damn Microsoft lovers into never showing their faces as PS3 and PC fanboys gloat over their own platforms' superiorities.
