[QUOTE=certified;46664589]Did he bitch about Titanfall? If not...[/QUOTE] Was Titanfall an established series on multiple platforms like Tomb Raider and Street Fighter?
oh no its a videogame
I don't get it, who gives a shit, it's coming out on PC so you it doesn't matter which potato it comes out on, you can just play the game on a proper gaming platform. Silly peasants.
Erm, what's up with so many people saying he's just screaming for views when this is a full video of level-headed talk and he doesn't really raise his voice at all? He actually made a lot of good points. The fight for console exclusivity is getting rather silly. At least PC is still getting most of the new releases.
[QUOTE=elowin;46667260]it's been a thing forever, yes this doesn't make it a good thing it's like saying why did people complain about slavery, it's been like that forever.[/QUOTE] Are you seriously using the analogy that complaining about a game being tied to a system can be compared to slavery? Slavery was something to complain about, this isn't. It's a choice on behalf of a media provider, because things like these are alot more complicated than just waving a magic wand. All i see is a bunch of neck beards whining about a choice, that's not really theirs to take. Yes, voices will be heard. But it's not like the studio doesn't already know this shit.

Worse how? This is a choice solely by the game company not to focus development for multiple consoles. I don't see how this makes them the devil, since it's a standardized choice on what they want to deliver to consumers. It's not like they make their main objective to piss on parades.
A choice is no excuse to a shitty choice.
Shitty if you own a console they don't want to provide for. I still don't get why this is seen as something evil on their part. I only see a bunch of people complaining because they put their eggs in the wrong basket.
[QUOTE=Warborq;46668850] I only see a bunch of people complaining because they put their eggs in the wrong basket.[/QUOTE] That's a problem too. There should be no "wrong basket".
So here's what I'm noticing Game is exclusive to consoles: "Why isn't this coming out on PC I'm so mad argh fuck you x company" Game is exclusive to certain platforms but still coming out on PC: "Oh get over over it, peasants. This was a business decision."

I doubt Capcom would have taken this decision by themselves, it was very likely a Microsoft thing considering that Capcom has had exclusivity contracts before (none of which turned out too well financially) and that Microsoft has a lot more interest in not having the game on their platform than having it (less concurrence for Killer Instinct which they are the direct publisher meaning more profit), along with the cross platform play which would suggest compatibility with a concurrent console and Microsoft likely doesn't want any of that. Sony probably doesn't give a shit considering no one will ever take the Japanese market from them.

Capcom fucked a lot of people by waiting this long to make their announcement.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;46668858]That's a problem too. There should be no "wrong basket".[/QUOTE] Why, so everyone gets what they want? People seem to forget that games aren't only entertainment but also a multimillion business. You'd think people would be happy enough that someone worked their ass off just to deliver you something as a new Street Fighter. Making a game run on multiple platforms isn't a cakewalk you know, it has budget and time constraints. Anything else would be wishful thinking. [QUOTE=Agoat;46668901]Xbox 360 was the preferred platform for competitive SF4. Capcom fucked a lot of people by waiting this long to make their announcement.[/QUOTE] So what, if they want to develop solely for the ps4 why should this even matter? They didn't really fuck anybody over, people are getting offended like they wanted to piss their consumers off on purpose. Next time Capcom wants to make a new Street Fighter, no matter what new consoles come out they need to stay on the same platform just because the previous generation console was the preferred one? Totally mental in my opinion.
I really can't stand this guy, honestly. Whenever I try to watch any of his videos I just get annoyed by him, sometimes he has got points but alot of times he gets mad at stuff I just don't get. Is this just a persona or is he legit?

PC gamers really only give a shit about themselves. That much is obvious.

What a stance to take. I guess that means no more voxel based games, either, since Microsoft has Minecraft and doesn't want any games to compete with it
I can see a lot of angstry nerds in this thread. If you don't like angry Joe, why bother fucking replying or watching in the first place.

I don't think people realize Joe is incredibly pro-consumer. As in, he wants every game to be available on every platform it can, and is very much against everything that shafts the player base in any way.

"We won't do all of them." -They didn't match Sony's offer. "When we have a 1st party franchise in a genre I'd rather invest in ours." -We'd rather put the money on KI.
