I have a PS4. It's OK. It's not a great piece of hardware, but that's mostly because there's really nothing you can play on it that you can't play better on the PC.

It has literally one game, Bloodborne. Bloodborne! I liked Bloodborne, but the idea that it somehow beats out a billion PC exclusive games (or even just the Paradox catalog) in terms of how much of my interest it can hold is just laughable.

So even though I own a PS4 and a Vita (yup), I will continue making fun of Sonyggers, because in their hearts, they know I'm right.

There's every reason in the world to hate consoles. Exclusives used to exist by necessity because developers could only afford to make one version of their software, and platforms weren't unified under a common architecture.

Now that everything is x86 there's literally no excuse. It's just jews trying to force you into buying a redundant piece of hardware you need only for superficial reasons

>>320141880
There's no market you can guarantee success in, and PS4 is jailbroken now anyway.

Console exclusives exist because of console wars. Do you think Sony gives a shit about excluding PC gamers from Bloodborne? Bloodborne is an exclusive to incentivize someone to buy a PS4 instead of an XBONE. PC isn't even part of the picture.

In fact, someone like me, who would buy a PS4 just to play the couple worthwhile exclusives it has, actually costs Sony money, as I'm just as likely to buy the games used and the hardware itself is sold at a loss. Sony only makes money by selling a PS4 to someone who will go on to buy ALL of their games on it and make it their primary if not only platform.

That's why exclusives exist.

That's why exclusives are cancer.

That's why consoles are cancer.

>waaa waaa piracy is killing gaming!

After the whole censorship debacle recently you guys lost any and all right to bitch about piracy. In case you still don't know what I'm talking about let me just copypaste one of the many arguemtns in those threads:

"I know /v/ has a hard time dealing with this, but game companies don't give a flying fuck about you. Not one shit. If they saw more money in making games with appealing to a wider audience, they'd ignore all of your complaining and crying and exclusively make those. Because it's only the money they're after, not your praise or goodwill."

It's funny how you can state something like that and at the same time miss the point so hard. You said it yourself, that's why exclusives exist, they wouldn't otherwise because no one would pay for them.
It would be better if all games were multiplat, but that's not a realistic option, so would you rather have some games be exclusive, or have them not be made at all? Do you prefer more or less choice in games?

Demos are the virtual equivalent of an example room. Polished to the max, in perfect condition, the best part of the entire building. Too bad that once you've signed and see the rest of the building, it's too late to notice the rotten building substance, general substandard cleanliness and all the maintenance you'll have to do yourself, and also that the landlord peeks in daily with his private key.

Demos, in the rare case that they exist, only tell you what the game is like at its absolute best. They don't tell you anything about what the game is like normally.

Everyone would win by having console exclusives on PC. Keep them off Xbone (or Xbone exclusives off PS4), I don't care.

It's going to come to this anyway. Japanese developers are the last holdouts and they're getting a taste for the PC market. If piracy was such a big concern, you'd see SE scared away with its tail between its legs. Instead they just have dollar signs in their eyes. When consoles are nothing more than mini-PCs, there's no reason for a PC owner to buy one

360 and ps3 were actually powerful machines the first few years they were out. Xbone and 4 were mediocre the year they released. What happened? Have good components gotten too expensive or are devs just brute forcing everything and not making clever work arounds?

You completely sidestepped my argument, though. No exclusives = no Bloodborne, Gravity Rush, The Last Guardian, Uncharted, and so on. Because Sony certainly wouldn't pay to have their games go elsewhere. Same for Nintendo games. An argument could be made for Microsoft games being a thing anyway, since they also own Windows, but that wouldn't necessarily be the case.

There are so many things that would have happened in an alternate reality with no console exclusives that it's not really an argument. You think they'd simply cease to exist, I think all that content would have still been made, simply in the form of another game. Bloodborne would have been another Dark Souls. I'm really not familiar enough with Sony software to say anything about it, but I know Nintendo wouldn't simply stop making games if their hardware sector became unprofitable, a very realistic possibility. Maybe we won't get exactly the same games that would have been made on PC, but we'll still be getting games, and more games, all without having to buy redundant hardware that does nothing but cost everyone money, and collect dust most of the time
