Forums - Gaming - Gaming Exclusives Hurt the Industry

Welp, those were just the titles that I am interested in as a gamer that is mainly playing on consoles. I can't speak for anyone else. But to say that there aren't ANY exclusive PC titles at all in which console gamers could be interested in is imo an exaggeration.

You're right, I didn't literally mean that the PC doesn't have games that console gamers want, but more like it's so significantly low it's ignorable.



"There is only one race, the pathetic begging race"

I actually prefer exclusives and this industry would actually lose out on money if everything was multiplat.

Also it allows the dev to code specifically for that consoles architecture.



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

So Sony is moneyhatting entire Japan lol? Look every japanese game wont come out on xbox because they arent selling on this platform, even MGS5 a huge AAA game 60fps sold 3 to 1 less on Xbox One than on PS4, and xbox 360 which this game was made for it sold 30k

Why don't you put aside the faux outrage and just debate the very valid point I made.  

I'm not even mad, just disappointed with the shots long after. It's like you tell someone to let go and yet they don't let go.

Also Chinese games really?.

 

You clearly are.  I mean it's a valid point. How often have people go on about the massive libraries of exclusives on pc.  are they damaging the industry or are exclusives only good on your platform of choice?

Hate to say it but IMO it's a double standard.

If Nintendo or Microsoft get an exclusive it's always "F this and F that! I hope the developer goes bankrupt" and cheering when/if the games don't sell well.

When it's Sony getting exclusives then it's A-OK.

 

Oh thats simple to answer, when you removed a game from playstation, not many complaine since many own one due to it being the most popular worldwide. When MS or nintendo do it you cut out 20 million people, so more complaine.

Still the hypocrisy is inherint ... it's perfectly ok or to deny Nintendo/Microsoft gamers access to games, but heaven forbid Sony fans should have to experience the same treatment. 





Can a distinction be made between the First-Party Exclusive and the Third-Party Exclusive? I take no issue with first-party but third-party exclusives of any kind usually bother me. Do you feel there's any difference?

Why would they think that way? You know why, it's even in your signature. "Pc Master Race"
. There are people on this forum that actually think that way, and I'm 100% sure you do to. You don't want to buy consoles because they're "peasant" machines that can't run games in 4k and 60fps/120 fps etc etc. So they prefer that exclusives go away entirely so they don't have to buy consoles. Plain and simple.

And I don't think PC gets the best of both worlds. Where are its exclusives? The only exclusives it has are MOBA/MMO/RTS games and as a console gamer I don't care for those games because if I did, I would be playing them. And the other "exclusives" it has are indies but most of the "good" indies come to consoles eventually like SOMA, Darkest Dungeon, Killing Floor 2,Minecraft, Don't Starve, Elite: Dangerous,and a lot more. The PC doesn't have AAA exclusives like Halo, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Gran Turismo, Bloodborne etc etc, I could literally name you 100s of games. I bought a GTX750/FX 8320 hoping to play some good PC and I don't think I even found 1 decent PC exclusive. I tried to play the first Witcher game but that game is really bad. The PC does not have AAA exclusives that console gamers are interested in, and I can't even think of one in the past 5 years. Actually the only upcoming AAA PC exclusive that console gamers would be interested in is Star Citizen, that's it 1 game. 

And why are you talking about the movie industry? Is it the gaming industry? No, they run completely different so there is no point in comparing those.

Wow i must of hit a nerve or else you really hate PC gamers one or the other.

Like i said you can try making this about PC gamers vs Console gamers all you want but its nothing got to do with that no matter how much you try to paint it that way. Like i said its always you console gamers that turn things like this into "PC vs Console" for the simple reason that you have nothing better to debate with.

Also its very silly of you to say PC has no exclusives only then to go on and say "other then such a thing that i dont like", Just cos you dont like a style of game does not mean others dont or else games like Dota and CSgo wouldnt be so big. Fact is them 2 games are bigger then any console exclusive atm.

And also unless you own both consoles the PC is also getting a nice few Console exclusive games. SF5, Shenmue, Final Fantasy 7 remake, Gears of war remake, Now Kojimas new game (Clearly he must of been the one to also push for a PC release otherwise it would be full exclusive to PS4) and the is many more, So tell me unless you own both consoles how does PC have no exclusives that console gamers want to play? .

Also NO pc gamer on this site that i know of calls the consoles "Peasent" machines, The only ones who keep saying that "IS" console gamers. So when the PC gamers on this site are not saying it, why does console gamers keep bringing it up?. Oh right since you have no better way of debating i guess its better to try swaying the topic in a different direction and try make it out to be something its not.

Instead of going on about how "PC gamers" are the only ones saying it and its all PC gamers fault etc, why dont you try explaining why you think exclusives are worth it? how to they benifit the consumer?? etc, I guess its just easier to place blame and use strawman tactics instead of having a real debate.

Like i said in my original post, I understand 1st party exclusives have a place, i also understand that an exclusive is worth it if the game has no other way of being made. But 3rd party exclusives thats clearly moneyhatted are not doing anything to help the industry.



 

For what it's worth, I play CS GO on my PS3 all the time. Probably not a great example.

Lol this guy creates a thread like this and doesn't even participate in it once. Also, I'm not even surprised by who created this. The only ones that think exclusives are bad, are PC gamers and the ones commenting that they agree are also PC gamers, basically proving my point.

 


He always does that and he barely replies to anyone's quotes or replies to one of his opinions.

 

oh he's just bitter his console of choice might be missing out on a game. He knows damn well that there is a big difference between Kojima and TR situations. If he was stupid he would try to argue his case.



in the future it would just be easier to say, "im mad my system is missing a game"
