Majority of the greatest games of all time are on console, and majority of those are exclusives in one form or another. Making truly great exclusive games draws people to your platform. Literally every console gen winner had the best exclusives (except the Wii, which was a totally different demographic)
>>
>>719441075
You're just too dumb to figure out how to build a PC. No need to try and mock others for your incompetence. That's why you cope with the excuse of getting some game no one else can play. Yet no one ever gave a shit enough about games like Bloodborne in reality to race out to buy these things because they were still worthless as a whole. The people who did give a shit were actually just normalfags with no taste or sense.

Some of PC gamings most important games of all time had simultaneous console releases. So it never mattered about exclusivity. Didn't matter for Doom, didn't make for Quake. Didn't matter for Deus Ex. The list could go on.

Exclusives were good when every console was weird jank and people were figuring out how they could push that console to its' absolute limits which led to very creative manipulation of hardware.
With everything being standardized and no one making their own engines anymore, the concept of an exclusive is retarded.

It mattered in that sense for sure. But it not being exclusive to the platform anymore didn't matter. It's not like it's worth as a video game was suddenly reduced because it was available in other places opposed to the main place to play it on.

Unless the game was specifically made to use strengths of a certain platform, and/or the devs were teaming up with the console manufacturer, like Treasure with Sega, exclusivity has no bearing to the game's quality. Tons of shitty games are also exclusives too

This isn't the 2000s anymore. PS exclusive game will functions the same as on Xbox and vice versa.
Glad exclusivity is dying. It has been a blight to gaming

>>719442330
the point of an exclusive is making a game that is so good that it singlehandedly draws people to your platform, or alternatively having a robust lineup of good exclusives that offer a compelling value and draw players into your ecosystem.

Those were initially conceived as exclusives, but you can only get a quick buck with a late port so many times until people catch on and just stop bothering double dipping, or just leave your ecosystem entirely because they know the games will eventually go elsewhere.

Correct and that's why they're flopping; until they stop being modern and begin to act like the 2000s in term of software making as exclusive they will keep their descent

And as a consumer that's a good thing; it breeds competition. When you saw retards falling for the exclusives = bad gaslight you had people advocating and enabling companies to not compete therefore the withering you're seeing in their platforms and games.

I know this routine; you think PC is a gaming platform competing/running on the same lane as game systems like consoles
>>
>>719443176
One could argue that each individual game now needs to compete with the entire eco-system now rather than just their own respective console, which logically would mean that these console manufacturers that do have studios under their branding should be pushing their games even more since now they have to directly compete instead of indirectly.
I think the biggest problem in general is standardization rather than the destruction of the concept of an exclusive, especially with the console arms race coming to an end with only Nintendo standing on top for their non-standardized consoles.

>>719443346
You listed games that went to Xbox. Forget the PC ports because your argument is worthless on that note alone.

The problem for modern games is that they have to compete with older games since PS360 graphicfaggotry was so retarded stunting the software development manufacturers (only Sony and Microsoft really) need to fill their platforms with older, proven software to make their current ones interesting due the low amount of software being put on their new one and lesser quality in perspective and that perspective is only to get worse whe they share the platform with heavy hitters from a decade ago

>I think the biggest problem in general is standardization rather than the destruction of the concept of an exclusive, especially with the console arms race coming to an end with only Nintendo standing on top for their non-standardized consoles.
Standarization as in homogenization? Then I'd agree, part of this homogenization is trying to destroy exclusives. Or any notion of being different for that matter

If the Coalition had their way they would've found another reason to buckbreak him because he clearly hasn't suffered enough for their liking. Kait's game nearly killed the series outright that they had to go back to the basics.

Sony lost to themselves. Kutaragi was a retard in full control. Also; they're disposing all that shitty live service crap releasing it everyone to coup the losses it was bound to deliver.

Not now; they can't enter with the current level of hardware so they won't be able to create new IPs and foster them in that enviroment. If gaming trims the fat then it could become a great place with more companies competing again

I never said it was a good port. Valve put Half-Life on PS2, but that port is something i consider to be a weird delayed one as to why i didn't list it. My point is simply that exclusivity gating never mattered, I've always held the position that PC gaming is superior because of it's complete freedom and longer background of unique games that never worked well with controllers.
>>

Sorry to correct myself Gearbox was responsible for the port. But my point none the less remains the same.
>>
>>719448174
>PS6 will be their make it or break moment and they seem to be willing to fix themselves
Nothing is going to change. That's the companies direction now because the entire market has shifted as a result of the gaming industry itself getting bigger. People will stick with Sony's consoles to get the IPs they like first. Just like if you stick with Microsoft's consoles you get to play Halo first. I'm unsure if timed exclusivity was really a thing of past or if it just took longer to port the game to different platforms, but in this way it's still the same as it was in the ps2 era for specific games. They're just committed to no generation exclusives is all. Which changes the idea of console gaming as you previously knew it. They'll probably need to rebuild trust by making those first party games again before they can try their next round of Concords. But they'll absolutely return to live service even if they've stumbled prior because they absolutely want to make the next Overwatch or Fortnite.

That is because no one is working on hardware specifically tailored for games.
Everything uses the same PC x86 architecture which is not the best for gaming, never was.
Now the future is Unreal Engine 5 slop and you will be forced to switch GPUs every 2 years to catch on.
Ubisoft said once that they did not bother with optimization because PC owners could buy a better card anyways. Everybody hated them for it and it is now the present.

Dedicated hardware also meant an investment into researching and creating platforms that were cheaper to manufacture while yielding better results for graphics. This is why Ps2 emulation 20 years later still has some hiccups even on cards that well dwarf the power of the PS2.

The best games of each generation prior to the PS360 era was a console exclusive, at least initially. You are utterly delusional
>>
As always /v/fags are behind the times. Exclusives were on the chopping board five years ago, it was obvious. You lose so much money not putting your software on every available platform. And hardware doesn't make money, it's all in software.

Console exclusivity was always a terrible strategy that was only propped up by two things: there were only three major platforms, and online connectivity wasn't as big.

Nowadays there are millions of platforms (consoles, handhelds, phones, TV's (streaming), etc.) and online is everywhere. You literally leave money on the table by not putting your shit everywhere. Exclusives are dead. Good riddance.
