Mass Effect 2 is shaping up to be pretty cool.

GameOn5949d ago

^ Understatement of the year so far.

Why the hell do people keep calling these multiplatform games '360 exclusives' because they're not on the PS3?

N4PS3G5949d ago (Edited 5949d ago )

Can you play it on ..

-Wii?- No
-PSP?-No
-DS?-No
-DSi?-No
-PS3?-No
-Xbox 360-Yes

= Console Exclusive

Can you play it on PC? - Yes!

= Multiplatform but a Console Exclusive too

If Mass Effect 2 was on the Wii then it would not have any type of exclusivity

this has nothing to do with the game just not coming to ps3 making it a exclusive..

If Gran Turismo 5 comes to PC...will you stop saying its a console exclusive? or a Sony Exlusive? ;)

GameOn5949d ago

Why does it matter to you so much? It's seriously not a big deal.

Pandamobile5949d ago

Because people treat the PC version like it doesn't fricking exist.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5949d ago

No one is calling them 360 exclusives, just 360 console exclusives. Playstation fanboys are in some serious denial, hate having to admit they are Microsoft exclusives. You know... as in Windows PC and Xbox 360? Why are they Microsoft exclusives? because you cant get these games on a MAC, a PC with Linux or a PS3. I know you PS3 boys are still angry about losing those PS3 exclusives and you think that this will somehow deny MS of exclusves.

Fact is you need MS Windows or a 360 if you want to play. It's ok just tell yourself MS gets no royalties in PC gaming, although MS has supported PC gaming for over 30yrs. In fact no one has supported PC gaming more than MS. But hey... don't let me spoil your hopes and dreams with fact. Now I'm off to play some PC games on a Sony computer which I had to buy Windows to play those games... opps again with the truth :) sorry.

N4PS3G5949d ago

@Pandamobile

Of course it exists on PC..and its just as important as the 360 versions for those who want it on PC...but it still a console exclusive... those people that pretend the PC doesn't exist are retards ;)

Pandamobile5949d ago

I'm complaining about the idiot that wrote the piece more than the people on this website for once.

So because a game is on a single console, and the PC, it's a console exclusive? By that logic, I can call Mass Effect 2 a PC exclusive because it's not on the Mac.

Where's the sense in that?

GameOn5949d ago

Well I think calling it an exclusive is just easier than saying "only for PC and Xbox" or more specifically "Not on PS3".

Either way, you shouldn't let it bother you. I don' think PC will loose any sales because of this.

When people mention the word "exclusive" they mean console exclusive. PC is not a console.

Pandamobile5949d ago (Edited 5949d ago )

That's still bullcrap. If it's a multiplatform game, it's a multiplatform game. It's not a 360 exclusive because it's not on the PS3.

If there was a game that was on 360, PC and Wii, people would still tout it as a '360 exclusive' because a game not being on the PS3 is a big deal to people for some reason.

There's no such thing as a 'console exclusive'. It's either exclusive to one platform, or it's multiplatform.

Here's a nice example for you to follow:

Halo 3 - Xbox 360 exclusive.
Crysis - PC exclusive.
Killzone 2 - PS3 exclusive.

Those games are only on one platform, making them a platform exclusive.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5949d ago

Pandamobile you are seriously getting angry over this, it's not on PS3 get over it.

Microsoft = PC and 360
Sony = PSP, PS2, and PS3
Nintendo = DS and Wii

Why so angry Sony has 3 platforms to MS's 2? If it was on PS2 and PS3 but not PSP its still Sony exclusive. If it's on Xbox or Windows PC it's Microsoft exclusive. It's obvious that it angers you that it's not on the PS3 even after all the rumors.

Guess what? everyone playing this on PC had to buy Windows or the PC package included the cost of Windows.

Pandamobile5949d ago (Edited 5949d ago )

Why would I be angry that Mass Effect 2 isn't on the PS3 when I don't even own a PS3?

Oh and by the way, PC is an open platform, even though Windows is a Microsoft product, a game that is PC/360 is not a Microsoft exclusive unless Microsoft publishes it, like Gears of War.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5949d ago (Edited 5949d ago )

I don't know but you sure are defensive about only the games that are on 360/PC and not on PS3. Every time an article comes up about Mass Effect or Splinter Cell you are there screaming "not exclusive not exclusive" fact is there are a lot of PC/360 only games and you don't freak out about them just the ones PS3 gamers want real bad. It's almost like you're a PS3 fanboy in disguise as a PC gamer. I could be wrong if I am then I'm sorry, but it just seems that way and it wouldn't be the first time on this site.

"PC/360 is not a Microsoft exclusive unless Microsoft publishes it, like Gears of War" Are you serious? How many Sony exclusives that aren't published by Sony? Dude you are... delusional.

Pandamobile5949d ago

I'm just sick of these retarded websites treating the PC version of games like they don't exist.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast501d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine501d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast501d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman501d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast501d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman500d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan749d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave749d ago (Edited 749d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
