Exclusives are a GOOD thing and without it, gaming would be WORSE off.

[Fatboi1]

I’m playing it because the internet hyped it up and i had cheap and easy access to it.

Yes, i’m playing it off the hype drummed up by internet discourse.

There’s been plenty of games i’ve played through and then they get some good updates and i’m loke “damn shoulda waited”

but you're enjoying it right? Isn't that what it comes down to? Some of y'all are really fixing to say people are actually NOT enjoying the games and are just faking it to talk about it online

This is what the Playstation hate is coming to?

 

[gurf]

No, it’s not.

You can’t just make up your own definitions

Folks really out here redefining words. This stan shyt has gone too far

 

[MeachTheMonster]

The fukk I wouldn't. These folks done lost their mind.

Who are you to tell me what the fukk I would play.

That game was treated as a playstation “exclusive” and we know how yall get about them.

There’s plenty of amazing quality indie beat ‘em ups, but they didn’t hit sonys stage, so they don’t get the hype from yall.

Every response you line a strawman up and knock him down.

Where did anyone say early adopters aren’t “enjoying” the games?

Why can’t you respond to what people actually said instead of whatever it is you want to respond to??

And I've played most of them. Sifu is just better.

You're really out here trying to gaslight people over the stan shyt.

Nah that game wasn't fun, you didn't enjoy playing that game. Why? cause I said so ass nikkas.

I'm not being disingenuous at all. PC releases recently that were crappy at launch, some even day 1 with consoles:


I literally have had experiences that were absolutely mind boggling. I posted that here I believe too, where my cousin's PC could NOT play Elden Ring at all for some reason despite him being able to play other games with no issues. The game just kept running sub 20fps with hella stutters and nothing we tried fixed it. He just gave up and never played it even though he had a capable machine(I think he had a RTX 2060). I love PC gaming but please let's not pretend that shyt is pancakes and syrup. There are still some annoying issues that sometimes doesn't plague console users but the overall experience makes up for it. I still can't play Shadows on my PC with AMD Framegen unless I have to deal with the game just freezing after 10 minutes.

A lot of these games were patched and fixed by now.

Just like how it took Sony a couple months to fix the crashing in Returnal or blurry performance mode in Horizon Forbidden West in the NG+ update.

And let's be real, a lot of console games performance mode is only achievable with heavy compromises.

I wouldn't call that bragging, I'm just literally saying that I can play the game at launch without waiting as I want to play it. That's a perk, I don't have to wait. Now if you don't really care about Yotei fine you can wait but that's not everyone.


I ask you, what is the issue now with playing a game on it's release date? Someone here said, the definitive version on PC.. Who's PC? Everyone's PC isn't a high end gaming setup equipped with a high refresh rate monitor, ARGB case lights and AIO coolers. That's not everyone. "PC" is not a singular box. I had no issues playing God of War Ragnarok, Horizon, Astro Bot, TLOU Part 2, Ratchet and Clank etc at release. Were those glorified beta releases?
Now it's FOMO and a bad thing to buy a game on a console day 1. Amazing. I guess you should go tell everyone in the Clair Obscure thread they're just FOMO gamers wanting to be apart of the conversation, they should wait until 2027 for the La Belle Epoque edition with La Maison expansion pack.

*Pops in Thriller 2025 edition*

Patience is rewarded in this hobby, and in general with tech. Nothing wrong if you can't wait, but call it what it is.

Sure there's games like E33 and GTA6 that are more difficult to wait for. But there was virtually zero benefit to playing FF16 early. Good game but a lot of better games out there that I could've played before it while waiting if I was an Xbox or PC gamer.

I didn’t say the game wasn’t fun.

You guys always make up your own arguments to argue against.

I said the playstation hype led to it getting more players day one including yourself.

They're literally dismantling the concept of hobbies/passions for the sake of Xbox you can't make this up

Why can’t you respond to what people actually said instead of whatever it is you want to respond to??

You asked what is a good reason for someone to play a game day 1 instead of waiting down the line for an "objectively" better game either in updates or a PC version(if you have the means).
I said for enjoyment since that's what we play the games for. You say that's a strawman.

No the game just looked fun and I bought it. I bought it on PC as well. I played Absolver, loved it. So naturally I'm checking for games from that Dev.

Quit projecting.

nasty work

Brehs must be snortin some of that green goo from the OG Xbox intro

No one is dismantling anything.

Hype/passion is the same damn thing.

You feel “passion” about playing a few playstation games before they make it to other platforms.

That’s fine.

But it is what it is

shyt is nuts, nikkas in here talking about "Yea you're supposed to wait 10 years to buy stuff cause it'll be on sale"

TF wrong with these folks

"If ppl couldn't discuss things they enjoy with others who enjoy that same thing, they might not enjoy it as much"

We are reaching unprecedented levels of mental gymnastics

Remember when reading a book or playing a game was something that was for you to enjoy? I do.

The mental gymnastics is trying to act like FOMO isn't a huge reason people buy and play certain games that they wouldn't normally so they don't miss out on all the excitement around the game.

You and others are literally in here saying that no one can enjoy games anymore cause YOU believe it's all for online clout.

Don't blame others for the mental gymnastics y'all are going through

I bought oblivion remastered, day 1. I think I've made 3 posts about it, but guess what, it's fun as shyt.
