MASS EFFECT Trilogy never coming to the PS3!

[QUOTE="UnknownSniper65"]

[QUOTE="mr_mozilla"]People have used both "PC is so different" and "PC is MS platform too" arguments, so which is it? Those are pretty much two opposite view points so it sounds to me like lemmings are just desperately clinging onto anything that would give them more exclusives. There is not a single reasonable argument that makes a game on 2 platforms an exclusive, it's like trying to say a triangle is a circle when compared to a square. Anyone backing this "console exclusive" PR talk fails at logic.lolkie_81

If I am looking for a game on consoles I'm not going to care about the PC....So the only thing that will matter to me is what consoles that particular game is on....if its on ONLY one...then there you have it...Console Exclusive.....

I really don't see what is so hard about this whole concept..

People get it, they just refuse to see it on SW. There is no logic here. The funny thing is hermits bash the 360 games that go to pc anyway. They act like they are "dumbed down" If MS saw it as hurting the 360 by putting there best games on the pc they wouldnt do it.

another link for you where it shows how pc sales affects 360 http://news.filefront.com/pc-and-xbox-360-releases-from-microsoft-will-continue-to-be-staggered/

Just because you don't want to play games on the PC doesn't make it not a system. You want to miss out on Crysis, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2... great, your choice. It's still a system with its own exclusives. Whether Microsoft benefits or not from you upgrading your PC instead of buying a 360 is debatable... I would say it hurts their console ambitions, however; not purchasing a 360 and opting for a PC/PS3 instead is one less console sale, one less chance to get a larger install base than the PS3.

[QUOTE="lolkie_81"][QUOTE="Hewkii"][QUOTE="lolkie_81"]

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. No one cares about the PC on SW. There are hardly any topics that include the PC.

naval

that's a lie.

NO its not, I will try and keep track of all the PC treads on SW for the next week. The PC is conviently used, for ownage from cows/hermits or just to jump into a Console graphics tread and plop down Crisis/tread.

please see do you care for pc gaming

There's no such thing as a console exclusive.

so its on ps3 and wii then?

No, but something is either exclusive and can only be found in one place or on one platform and Mass Effect is not one of them.

There is such thing as Console exclusive. Noone caress if it's on PC. It doesn't effect the Console war between Ps3/360.

Pc is the ulamte machine and the ulamte machines for gaming no can stop it. Too stop is to stop progress!!! enough said!!!

The purpose of this thread was to share the news that the MASS EFFECT Trilogy would not be available on the PS3 (contrary to popular belief after Bioware being acquired by EA) That is ALL. You guys can argue over semantics all you'd like.Gesyma

muti plat will be good for pc too in the long run it adds to our huge libariary

There really should be a console wars forum. Sw would die immediately, Every one knows the Pc cannot be beat, you cant compete with upgradable hardware. The Pc is Sw is pointless. Everyone knows the debate is with the Ps3/360. The wii is a sales king and a joke in the game department.

Yet again, actually - it does. Many people enjoy both console games and the exclusives only available on PC. Others enjoy getting the "best experience" on the PC. If all of 360's big exclusives were on PC (hypothetical) and all the PS3 exclusives were only on the PS3 (another hypothetical), some people actually WOULD opt to upgrade their PC and buy a PS3 so they could play all of the important 360's exclusives, with better graphics and higher resolutions, all the PC exclusives, and ALL of the PS3 exclusives. These are hypothetical situations, but there are people who think like this.

Ha I love how consolites rush in to declare PC gaming dead but when it suits them they all have uber PC's to hide behind.

A game on the 360 & PC is not exclusive, but I do understand the term console exclusive ONLY WHEN comparing libraries bewteen 2 platforms (ie 360 & PS3). Consolites talk constantly about how few PC gamers there are but then say if someone goes into a shop and sees a copy of a game for the 360 & PC? If they have any sense they buy it for the PC, if not they probably don't own a PC so it matters not to them.

I don't care about consoles, that doesn't make every game a PC exclusive either, the rest of the world doesn't disappear into thin air just because I'm not aware or interested in it.

If console exclusive meant that it's not available on PC, then that would make some sense as the game would be exclusive to a console or consoles. Console exclusive for 360 on the other hand is a far-fetched fanboy made up fairy term that means jack.

That doesn't say anything!
In real life, nobody cares about PC gaming. In real life, no one cares if a game is available on the PC and the 360 because MS gets money anyways. In real life, people always try to find literal loopholes in order to own an opposing videogame fanboy faction.

No this has nothing to do with SW lemmings trying to make things go their way at all.DireToad

Addendum: Of course, the 360 does have AAA exclusives that are not available on PC or PS3, which is why I called the previous situation hypothetical. Nonetheless, perception is important here, and Halo 3 is only a question of "when".

aka multiplatform

Who decides THAT? Not that I disagree or anything but how the hell are we supposed to determine what it is when everyone has their own definition?

if i remember there was a SW vote, where people who hate the 360 wanted to remove gears, bioshock and ME from any 360 game lists.

interesting considering that this whole thing predates the 360.

and yet it was sparsely discussed until gears went to the PC, after that its been used constantly to discredit the 360s best games.

It often seems that hermits want their platform to be bother above and beyond any console in consideration and then at the same time be just another platform like any other console.

We all know that being exclusive to one console means something. MS would not let games like Halo move to the PC at a later date if it was a big deal for them to be on the generic platform that we are all posting on.

I own both a gaming PC and a 360 and I would care a lot if either one broke down. Well, I care a lot WHEN either one breaks down. I have lost one 360 and numerous video cards. Damn near every PC in this forum, with a little tweaking, can run WoW.

PC is the generic platform because almost everyone above the poverty level owns one.

there is another website that goes into detail about the problem

I don't see anything on that site that talks about the problem. Can you give me a quote from where it says this?

blue_hazy_basic

I agree with all of that. If I had a gaming pc, I would buy them for pc over the 360 if they were released at the same time. Gears came out a year later, I would have bought it for the 360 and by the time it came out for pc it would have been old news to me. I never bash the pc as a gaming platform, I just dont see how it fits in to the ps3/360 debate. That is 95 % of the topics on SW.

MP gaming is still a no brainer PC choice but for SP games I am just as likely to enjoy it on a console as much as a PC.

Not sure how credible this is but I thought I'd pass on the information.

Linkage.

superjim42

wrong. it is not excluisve because it is available on pc

WOW do you not understand the meaning of exclusive. microsoft PUBLISHES THE GAME, therefore they would make it go on the platform of their choosing. which being of course 360 and pc. if microsoft publishes the game and they hold a monopoly in the pc gaming market, why would it not be considered an exclusive. microsoft is making all the money. its not like its going to the ps3 or wii where other companies will profit. as of now its only microsoft profiting. get your facts straight

[QUOTE="JediRiff"]

[QUOTE="Gesyma"]Yeah, okay console exclusive... whatever. I'm not trying to get points on anyone or anything, I'm just reporting the news to you guys cause I thought it was interesting... don't shoot the messenger. Gesyma

Glad you posted it, myself! I now know the game I am most looking forward to in '09. :D

thanks man! :D

No problem! While many people on here want to debate about PC/360 exclusivity and such, that link held the words that I cared to hear about most. Mass Effect 2 - '09. Great Scott, I am a happy man.

**sigh** Since when did "exclusive" mean "a company profits from it" anyway?

Situation: Someone who does not own a 360 buys a PC/360 game for PC.

Result: Install base for 360 does not increase.

Significance: That person did not help Microsoft achieve its worldwide goal of selling more 360 units than the Playstation 3.

The title of the thread is making this a circus. I should have said PS3 not getting Mass Effect trilogy. I don't really care if PC is getting it or not that wasn't the point... that being said do you know how to edit topic titles?

So we should take what you say as fact, and discount the website. Riiiiight.

Biowares head numero uno guy says its going to stay on the 360, and wont be coming to the PS3 couldnt possibly mean that.... well, its going to stay on the 360 and not come to the PS3, could it????

The PC version says No.EVOLV3

The console gamer says I dont give a **** that it is also on pc.

so what is it? PC360 exclusive? Microsoft exclusive? geez people, it will be released on multiple platforms..hence the name: MULTIPLATFORM

It's not exclusive, neither is gears or Bioshock an (timed) exclusive..

Ignore the facts fanboy. The facts are all three platforms are individual. I can play Mass Effect on Linux if I want. If it's on more than one system, the word "Multi" comes in. Multiplatform.

WTF are you talking about?

People don't care if it's on PC? Yes they do. If someone walks into a store to buy a 360 because he wants to play GEoW only to find out that the game is also available on a PC which he has, do you think he's going to buy the 360 because GEoW is a "console exclusive"? Get real.DireToad

he is talking about a situation in which a person wants to buy a console. For whatever reason he doens't play games on the pc (doens't like it, bad pc,...). So when looking at which console to buy he is going to copare the games. At that point he won't care if the game is also on the pc, beacose he doesn't want to buy a PC but a console.

now if the PC should be compared to cosoles when thinking about buying a new console and draged into the console war is a whole difrent issue, but people here need to remember that microsoft is also in the PC gaming aliance and it would hurt them a lot if PC gaming would just die one day, beacose most people would go to Linux or a mac at this point. Basicly the only reason windows is still nb 1 is beacose of games, for buisness, servers etc linux is a much better choice, just like a mac is better for artist and graphic designer, but for games? Windows by a long shot.

dammit pressed submit too soon -.-

so thes eond part is: but microsoft is also in the console war. If they would release games for xbox360 and pc at the same time what would be the point of having a xbox? People would rather buy a PS3 on top of their PC and play all the big games.

Thats why currently MS is releasing games first for the xbox to promote and sell their consoles and then after that for the PC, so that it doesn't fall to low behind at which point people yes people would buy a xbox, but would stop getting new Windows releases and switch to other OS that are cheaper and better. It's a thin line MS is walking one wrong step and they shoot themself in the foot.
