Maybe I've been on systemwars too long but I can't play a game that's not exclusive. I feel as if the game is a cheap compromised piece of crap. Even when a game is exclusive and then loses exclusivity, it makes me sick. For example, I enjoyed Mass Effect but I refuse to play Mass Effect 2. I enjoyed Dead Rising but I refuse to play Dead Rising 2. I may pick up the XBL exclusive pre-qual though.

Games such as GTA4, Dead Red Redemption, Oblivion, COD, Crysis 2, Metal Gear Rising, Ninja Gaiden, Resident Evil and any other multiplat just piss me off. They make me so angry. I don't get it why a developer just won't choose a console to make their games exclusively on. This way the game will take full advantage of the platform it is developed for.

I will never buy a game a multiplat because I can't enjoy it. Even if I think the game is cool then when I get it and come here to systemwars to discuss it, everyone says it's crap and I feel like crap for buying into the hype.

For example I was dumb enough to buy GTA4 and everyone here knows that game is worthless. The game scoring 10 here made me just give in but then everyone here just said it was crap anyway. I felt so stupid. Then there are games such as COD which I really think are cool but I can't play them because you know they make them for every damn console. And of course everyone here agrees they are crap games.

The game that really pissed me off the most is Final Fantasy 13. That was going to be a GREAT GREAT GAME!!!! Then all of a sudden I hear this crap about multiplat. I couldn't believe it. I'm glad it turned out to be a worthless piece of crap. Well, I am still hoping for FFv13 because I love FF games.

Games such as MGS4, Heavy Rain, Halo, God of War and just any exclusive game is just so magical. It makes the game better because I know that there are a lot of pissed off people who can't play the game. And i'm like a lucky special person who gets to enjoy it. AWESOME!

When everyone on every console is playing the same thing it just makes me want to throw up. And it makes the game crap.

I think developers should realize this is how we feel and choose a platform to develop on and stick to it. But of course I know this will never happen with the greedy developers out there. Especially Activision.

Am I crazy or do you guys know what i'm talking about? I know this may not be so politically correct thing to say but you guys know it's true.

Limiting yourself is pointless.

P.S. Mass Effect 1 is multiplat.

Uhh, no, I don't feel like that at all, because that's completely ridiculous. What more could have been gained from GTA IV had it focused on either being a 360 or PS3 exclusive. I can understand why some gamers want to keep PC exclusives PC exclusives, but I fail to see why each game has to stick to one platform.

i completely and totally 100 % dissagree. exclusivity is the worst idea ever. its not greed making their game available to more people. its GREED when microsoft or sony pays money to a developer in order for them to keep it exclusive. if your a gamer you should hate exclusivity its terrible.

You're just crazy. The greatest games out there are multiplatform. Developers don't limit themselves by not using exclusivity, they're just getting their game out to more people.

Your loss. I just dislike multiplats when it means that all versions get dumbed down to fit on all hardware. Crysis 2 for example. If we get a worse PC game just because consoles get it, I will be angry.

You seem to be selectively picking and choosing multiplat games that everyone here seems to "hate on". Just because a game is multiplat doesn't autmatically guarantee the title will be low quality.

Right now you're missing out on so many excellent excellent titles. Games like Red Dead Redemption, Bayonetta, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, Fall Out 3 and many many more are all very good and sometimes well surpass exclusive titles.

It seems that you're hating on the... conecept or idea of a game being multiplat rather than the actual quality of the title. You should at least rent some of these games and try them out before immediately dissmissing the title simply because its not an exclusive.

That totally makes no sense considering that Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 are both Multiplats and Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2 are Both Multiplats (the Pre-quel is the only Exclusive thing up there.)

I can understand the point of view coming from a PS3 or Wii owner because in almost every single case you're going to get an awful multiplat game.

So yeah, if you only have a PS3 you don't want to play anything but first party games because no one else takes the console seriously

God...you're so right. I've been trying to hide my true feelings for so long...I've even let myself believe I like some multiplat games. But no more. TC, you've awakened me. From now on, no more multiplat games! From now on it's only the high quality goodness that can only come from exclusive games. *goes out to buy Lair, Haze, Ninety-Nine Nights 1/2, and Too Human*

It sounds like you have a problem. Why can't you just enjoy a game for what it is? As you called GoW3 magical, lol when it was all said and done I was pretty disappointed in it. I wonder why you can buy it used for $30 now? IMO, Darksiders is a much better game

I think thats the real reason isn't it. Its not because they compromised anything, very VERY few do it but its that need to feel special...over a game. Wow dude...

Any game that is not a PC exclusive is compromised in some way. A majority of the better games this gen are multiplat. There's not enough exclusives for anything to go around.

It sounds like you have a serious problem.If you can't enjoy a game simply on the basis of what is, then you need to pack it up and forget you ever knew about this hobby.

You can't EVER judge a game on some fantasy idea that "it wooda been better if" because you don't know for sure. You might think you do, but you don't. If you REALLY knew, you'd be making games yourself. Get over it and start enjoying some great multiplats.

I agree with your logic, multiplats compromise to take away the strengths of all platforms and basically leaves you with whats left, the weaknesses. I do not agree however that they are cheap pieces of crap, almost all my games are multiplats so i aint losing out on cod and so on... well i missed MW2 but that was an exaggerated war game, not a nice one.

I'm guessing this post is a sarcastic dig at system wars and it's obsession with exclusives? - If not....I'm mystified.

If they made games exclusives than they wont have money for making sequals or better games or have money for next gen consles, multiplats earn them more money.

You've missed out on the best games of this gen.

sonicare

No I have not! The best games are always EXCLUSIVE!!!! Everyone here on systemwars knows this. All multiplats are watered down cheap crap.

I will stick to the premium gaming experience that is uniquely delivered by EXCLUSIVE software.
