Why is it seen as a good thing when an old game gets ported to pc?
>>
>>338347996
Because more people get to play it now
>>
>>338348048
If you were interested in the game you would have gotten the platform the game was on.
>>
>>338348113
what kind of backward logic is that, explain your reasoning
>>
>>338348206
If you refuse to even acknowledge a game before it comes to pc you're not a fan of video games, you're a pc fanboy.
>>
>>338348293
buying an entire system for a single game doesnt seem really worth it though
all those consoles cost money, im an idort but i can understand why someone would rather not waste money on consoles they're barely gonna use, most of my friends are PC only and i respect their choice
>>
>>338348586
It's always "one game" no matter what the system is whenever you call out pc fanboy.
>>
i played shinovi versus in twenty fucking thirteen when i imported it, i dont care about pee see master retards from /r/eddit eating up table scraps
>>
>>338348694
what?

>>338348715
i also imported SV back then, but im buying this on PC for the 60 fps and mostly to support these games on PC, as it is quite nice to see more variety than RTS & FPS forever
>>
>>338348586
>buying an entire system for a single game doesnt seem really worth it though

Same logic applies to PC. Buying a entire PC or even one overpriced graphic card doesn't seem really worth it just for one game. Besides, consoles are typically cheaper than the high end graphic cards.

But let's be realistic, nobody really buys a entire console or a high end graphics card solely for ONE game. There's always more than 1 game people will be interested in. The whole one game argument is moot.
>>
>>338348868
People will scream that there's nothing of value for them on a system, that there's only one game they're interested in, and its conveniently the game getting ported to pc. Pc users are blind hypocritical fanboys who shit on games for not being on pc then praise them like coming of Jesus when they're ported.
>>
>>338349006
>People will scream that there's nothing of value for them on a system, that there's only one game they're interested in

They do this over and over and over. They really don't realize how many times they've said it for so many different games.
>>
>>338349006
you shouldnt make generalizations like this anon, people have different opinions about things, im pretty sure not every single pc user is as you described, at least outside of this delusion you seem to be having
>>

>and mostly to support these games on PC
die in a fire dude, just fucking suffer for the rest of your life

its retards like you that ate up shit on gabe fucking fat ass fat piece of shit newell's steam greenlight moneyprinter that opened the floodgates to "these games". the VERY first "weeb game" (as r.edditors like to call it) on steam was sakura spirit, and ever since, its just been a torrent of fucking garbage that underage pc retards will just swallow. and worse, they do exactly what >>338349006 said; they act like they dont care about X game...until it comes out for PC

I'm not angry, I'm just questioning why devs think they should abandon their original fanbase to chase after the shekels of pirates and penny pinchers that were never interested in the game in the first place.

I understand that video game companies need to make money, but it's a slap in the face to their fanbase that purchases the game on the original platform for full price to then turn around and port it to pc for pirates to steal it and steam sale kiddies to buy it for 75% off. I don't see how there's money to be made on the piracy platform.
Maybe I should drink the pc koolaid and stop trying to think for myself.

It gets played again. It revives the game from the hell known as obscurity. For those who played on consoles but ended up in PC it may come as a hit of nostalgia.

PC is never going to play MOTHERFUCKING METAL WOLF CHAOS
>>
Ease of availability long after a game has released is a big one. I can easily pick up games I skipped over years ago and decided I want to play on PC, for a good price too. The continued ability to sell the game is quite attractive to publishers. Meanwhile with consoles finding even used copies of certain games can become incredibly difficult, sometimes even selling for more than the original price eg:Xenoblade Chronicles.

The other one would be replaceability. If my house burns down I'm losing a bunch of proprietary systems and their discs/carts, meanwhile I can build a new PC and rape my internet for a month to get everything back. With cloud saves/a backup drive in a safe location all my saves are in tact too.

And that's without considering the adaptability of settings/controls/mods that get brought up all the time in these threads.
>>
So I'm going to assume you made this thread since the other SK port thread somehow was immune to the shitposts it had, so you wanted to encourage shitposting?

Please fuck off.

Hi sena

>>338352376
People shouldn't be able to play a game unless they purchase the original platform ita on. Simple as that. These same people you're okay with throwing games to were the ones shitting on this game and other games minutes before just for being on consoles. These people don't deserve anything.

No, people should be able to play a game if its available for purchase on a platform its released on. That is all. Original platform does not matter. Please kill yourself. I did not play Devil Survivor on the DS, but I played the 3DS version.
Also I don't know why the SK series keeps getting these butthurt threads. SK games are on:
>iOS
>3DS
>Vita
>PS4
Its not like it ever had any platform allegiance to begin with.

Please kill yourself you shitposting scum who makes lots of assumptions for the sake of (You)'s.

Now I'm going to fuck Mirai, and you're going to like it.

>>338352695
I'm idort too, but I don't support games like this getting ported to pc.
I supported it on 3ds, vita and ps4. Not supporting slapping their fans in the face like this by throwing scraps to pc.
>>
What did they do to slowpoke?
>>
>>338352698
SK has been getting threads like this because it's the latest game to get thrown to the pirates on pc. And everyone is sick of what pc faggots do to discussion and their general attitude.

You do realize that /v/ literally has thousands upon thousands of posters, where at least 30% of them are trolling right? Very few people legitimately care about console wars.
>Games are not exclusive because of money evey time. Devs don't want to put their games on pc because they know it won't sell there.
Evidently more and more Japanese devs are finding out that isn't the case, the Neptunia games for instance. They released the first one and other than some issues at 1080p it was a decent port and it sold quite well, so they quickly ported the others.
>>
because who gives a fuck.
I don't like the senran kagura games because they're garbage fanservice pandering shovelware like neptunia. Anyone buying them on ANY platform are faggots and cancer to the gaming community who directly support the practice of nickel and diming with cut content as paid DLC.
