What did you spend more time playing and having more fun with this gen? Exclusives or multiplats? Exclusives are usually better then multiplats because developers can focus on only one system but most of the big games this gen are multiplats. So what is your choice?

My favorite game this generation is a multiplatform game, so definitely that over exclusives.

Multiplats all the way.

..

I play quite a few PC exclusives like SC2 and TF2 (the console versions have nothing on the PC version, might as well be different games) but multiplats win out

Exclusives are what I have enjoyed the most by a significant margin this gen, inFamous, Uncharted 2, Halo Reach, Killzone 2 to name a few.

On consoles multiplats generally, but PC exclusives have been head and shoulders above most console games.

Mass Effect 1&2 are my favorite games this gen so I have to give multiplats the nod. Although H3, Reach, Gears 2, FM3, SMG 1&2, MP3, Wii Sports, and many others have been incredible. It's a 50/50 balance really.

Multiplats. Mainly because I play games and there are more multiplat games. Although Halo 3 was played a ridiculous amount, same with Reach probably in a few years. But Fifa and Dead Rising 2 will be in my Xbox for ages .

Most exclusives are overrated, most multiplats disappoint, I'll say neither.

On one hand, there have been great exclusives from the usual suspects, plus some new players. On the other hand, most great 3rd Party games are multiplats simply because of how inflated the budget for each games are in this day and age.

both exclusives and multiplats are great... the only difference is that most exclusives have that extra bit of polish/quality and class to them.. But multiplats are just as good as well.

Multiplats are freaking amazing. Don't get me wrong, games like Halo, Alan Wake, GeOW, Uncharted are amazing but without games like Assassins Creed, Bioshock, FIFA, Batman this gen would have been bad

SONY has spoiled me with their beautiful and fun exclusives that it's hard for me to play multiplats anymore. They look last gen compared to SONY'S lush exclusives.

Well, Its been almost even as far as games I have owned. I have definitely sold a lot more of my multi-platform games and was more disappointed overall in multi-platform games. As far as games I have really enjoyed: Exclusives win 15-11. Exclusives win in my current collection 13-6: Exclusives: Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction, Ratchet and Clank a Crack in Time, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Valkyria Chronicles, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Infamous, Modnation Racers, GT5 Prologue, F1 Championship Edition. Multi-platform: COD4, Ghostbusters, Mirror's Edge, Red Alert 3, Burnout Paradise, Split/Second

MGS4, Metroid Prime 3, Wiisports, Galaxy, Galaxy 2, Infamous (>prototype), Littlebigplanet, No More Heroes, Twilight Princess, GoW. Plus games I haven't played like Halo Reach, StarCraft 2, Civilization 5, Crysis, etc.

I mean, c'mon. A lot of the great multiplats have been a bit shallow and letdowns imo. GTA4, Assassin's Creed 1+2, Red Dead Redemption, FF13, etc., have been great but lacking

Most my games are exclusives, I buy multiplats, but after a while I trade them in for $$$ for some new games. I like to keep my exclusives and so far excliseves have provided the best gaming expirences so far (cuz I own a PS3 8) )

Even though my favorite game this generation is a multiplat title (The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion), I have to say exclusives overall. Alan Wake, Demon's Souls, Disgaea 3, Halo: Reach, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted and more are just better then the majority of multiplats I've played.

There's some great multiplats, but the PCs exclusives really shine. Multiplats can feel fairly outdated at times though.

hmm...ive never really thought about it. i buy games because they interest me not because there multiplat or exclusive. that has 0 effect on which games i buy. but looking at my collection...exclusives do seem to be fairly dominant. all my wii games (bar world of goo) are exclusive i think (though there not all first party..its about 50:50 on that front). same with my 360 and PS3. any multiplats i do get generally go to the PC mind but even there its still mostly exclusives i think. ...weird. have i been brainwashed by something? :S.

Crysis left that effect on us PC gamers while the PS3 was on life support, being fed low quality multiplats through a tube back in 2007. :lol:
