Why does Sup Forums defend exclusives? This is a sincere question. Is it an attitude you develop after years of console gaming to keep the machine you spent money on the most relevant? Is there some argument against releasing your games for more than one platform other than the money and time to create a port?
I've played on PC since I upgraded from a PS2, I it's always had a much much bigger library of games than any console. Is it maybe just trying to overvalue the games you can play?
Joshua Young
Why do you want Nintendo to port Mario Odyssey to PS4 and PC? It's Nintendo's game
John Fisher
They're the only reason to own a console
Christian Cooper
stop projecting, nitenchild no one wants your dumb mario game
Bentley Rogers
Because why not? That's my point user, do you have a solid reason why it shouldn't be done other than a bunch of screeching and fanboyism?
Luis King
Other than PC being annoying to get into for the average shitter, this.
Ethan Rogers
I love playing on PC but PC is only good for online and competitive games. Games like Bloodborne or Demons are way better on console because they have a better community and the games will not get datamined which leaves secret and mystery up for you.
Nicholas Cox
Nobody defends exclusives
Logan Ross
to have a cheap hassle free way of enjoying video games?
Kevin Harris
Why should someone port their game to systems that aren't theirs? Are you a commie? Do you hate competition?
Nathaniel Lewis
but they did get datamined, and why not just not look up spoilers if youre so worried?
Levi Rogers
How is playing Dark Souls on PC any different than a console if I can connect and access the same features?
Owen Cruz
I hate a game having limited player bases because they didn't buy the right machine. I still haven't heard a good reason against getting rid of exclusives
Gabriel Robinson
I dont agree with him but you didnt address any of his points.
Nathaniel Collins
Why do you see that game as something to be hoarded and protected on one console?
Ryan Thomas
If you remove exclusives you remove consoles. Just say that we should all be playing on pc alone and everyone will agree.
Xavier Morris
I don't think I can have an objective argument about one community vs another, but I can just play a game without reading out it and get the same experience so I'm not sure what points he had, user.
Nolan Cooper
Is that necessarily true? There's several companies making blu-Ray players.
Adam Taylor
Yeah, I agree with that.
Alexander Gray
The best games of all time have all been exclusives. Nintendo makes these games to convince you to buy their consoles so they HAVE to put in the most effort possible. Why should they port their games to PS4 and PC? It's more profitable to make mobile games than to give your games away to the competition
Aaron Clark
BB still is not datamined nobody found the third 3 Guidance rune there is still lots of secrets
The difference is the community here. Like look at how amazing the threads for Nioh or Let it Die were everybody helped each other and we all shared tips and secret. This stuff does not happen on PC or PC games in general.
James Morales
What PC games do you play? From my experiences the communities are usually better and less casualized.
Josiah Nguyen
I suppose you've got a point, but it's not nintendos fault you need a good joystick setup to get the most out of Freespace 2, Wing Commander and Mechwarrior 3
Try and use examples that aren't completely subjective taste. If you're going to go 'it's objective taste that _____ is the best' then you're not ready for a discussion like this.
Jayden Bell
>Hassle-free Consoles are nothing but gimped laptops that also need constant updating. >cheap PC gaming requires a larger up front investment but is way cheaper in the long run.
Alexander Sanchez
user I couldn't disagree more, there are phenomenal PC communities just like I'm sure there's good communities around console games. start making real points about the topic, not thinly veiled bitching
Wyatt Roberts
Take high school economics, friend. Monopolies are bad. You need something proprietary to make your product stand out among the rest. Without exclusives video games would be stagnant, if not completely dead.
Chase Reed
>From my experiences the communities are usually better and less casualized. This. Playing Battlefield on PC instead of console is a big difference already and most of the time people actually make an effort to work together in their respective squads.
Ian Thomas
Monopoly from what? Without exclusives, who loses? Games developers or console manufacturers? Who do you as a consumer deal with the most?
Cameron Peterson
But consoles would cease to exist as they are. also that equivalence is not that useful, consoles are way more complex products than media players. They have online communities, the technology in them takes its time to evolve, etc.
without solid, stable console installbase, machines would get obsolete even quicker than pcs, and a not-so-old one would become useless to run new games relatively fast because devs would not have to compromise with a few consoles in the market.
I know its way too much to conjeture, but it def wouldnt be a buttery-smooth-change-everybody gets-to-play-every-game.
Chase Hill
Consoles don't sell because of exclusives. Consoles sell so Chad can play CoD and GTA with his dudebro friends. Whichever company has the stronger marketing wins. In this case it was Sony.
Hudson Stewart
>Consoles don't sell because of exclusives. Yes they fucking do you moron. Splatoon 2 is a fucking system seller. Why should Nintendo give that away????????
Brody Jenkins
Consoles SHOULD sell because of exclusives. If the industry keeps allowing marketing to become more important than the games, mediocrity will keep ensuing.
Gavin Moore
Exclusives will keep existing. Not tied to a brand but to a hardware that keeps with the times. Its not great either.
Logan Garcia
every popular PC multiplayer game and the community is always 100% pure shit If you disagree that PC ability to datamine every game is fucking cancer you're retarded. This is why WoW is dead.
Xavier Collins
Well the XBone and Pisstation don't. How would you explain PS4's success then? They only sold more because they didn't completely fuck up like MIcrosoft did, not because of its many and varied exclusive releases. Nintendo are alone in this.
Agreed.
Jose Rogers
The majority of gaming communities in general are shit on any console or PC.
Jonathan Nguyen
It's the same backwards ass logic that retards use to defend capitalism
>>bb-but it give X a reason to exist! >But it would be better if Y. >b-b-buh....STFU!!!
Levi Sullivan
>Well the XBone and Pisstation don't. How would you explain PS4's success then? PS4 is successful because of competitive pricing. Multiplats do sell the most on playstation but exclusives also sell millions of copies.
I still don't see why you guys think Nintendo should give the PS4 Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey
Gabriel Williams
Does Nvidia try to exclusive any games for its hardware? It has a pretty big market share and could probably cripple amd heavily if they made a popular game exclusive
Jonathan Gray
I'm saying data mining is something you choose to have ruin your experience
Oliver Sanchez
consolefaggots will defend anything
Kevin Price
No idea. They tried some stuff with plugins for hair rendering i think, but i dont know how far would they get with that.
Luis Wright
Why is it always PCfags who bitch about exclusives?
Is it really hard to see why companies would ONLY make games for hardware that they manufacture?
Evan Young
Pc is also better at running games in the first place and it's usually the best choice for Multiplats.
Also 99% of FPS either play better on MKB or are impossible to play well without it. Imagine Serious Sam TSE on Serious with a controller.
Austin Martinez
but they datamine console games too? how do you think people got hayabusa armor in halo 3?
