i don't. just because it is a exclusive doesn't mean i will like the game. only game that is coming out sometime in the future is FO4 that i would consider getting a new system for.

I do. In the sense that it pisses me off when a game is exclusive. If its on a platform I dont own and is exclusive my thought is "Looks like im never going to play that game"

I do, exclusives decide what console I will buy. While multiplatform games tend to be available for PC too these days, so I don't need a console for those.

For example, the original Xbox only had a single exlusive game I found interesting, Panzar Dragoon Orta, which wasn't enough for me to buy the console. While both the PS2 and GameCube had plenty of exclusives I was interested in playing, so I bought those.

And right now neither the PS4 or the XB1 have any released games I'm interested in, but there are a few upcoming ones that makes me lean towards the PS4. While XB1 only have Scalebound.

Couldn't care less. Most games are PC exclusives, and you don't hear many people complaining about that, so why bother caring when it's exclusive to a specific console. If anything, a console is cheaper to pick up than a PC, so it's less of an issue for something to be console exclusive. And if you already have a PC, many games require certain levels of hardware, some of which is more expensive than a console. I honestly don't see the issue. That said, I wouldn't buy a whole console for just one game. If there's a game I want to play but it is on another console, I will happily never play that game. I would like to play Pokemon again, for instance, because I loved that stuff when I was in my early teens and would like some reminiscence, but I don't own a DS so who cares? Life goes on. And if you're that bothered about it, buy the console. They're not exactly the price of houses.

I hate Sony for making Street Fighter 5 an exclusive, companies shouldn't do this, all gamers should have the same experience.

All I care about is whether I'm interested in a game and whether it is available on PC.

I can understand developing only for a specific platform if you lack the means or the funds to do otherwise, but holding media hostage to force people to buy a specific device to play them on always struck me as a terrible and underhanded business model. We're lucky this is mostly limited to video games.

What I really don't get is people cheering for exclusivity. "Yaaay other people lose out and we gain nothing tangible in the process yaaaay"

Do I care about exclusives? Only in the sense if I actually care about the game. I dont care about it's exclusivity to one platform or another, more so I only care about is if I like the game and if I can play it.

With that said, only 1 exclusive title ever garnered my interest for a platfotm I didn't have and that was Halo 1 through 3.

Timed exclusive DLC though pisses me off *coughBethesdacough*

Exclusives definitely affect my choice on which platform I choose to initially buy or buy at all. I'm a PC user first and foremost, but I do like to game on consoles, and over the past 15 or so years, the Playstation has been my console of choice, well with the exception of 360 which I bought upon release for Oblivion, and which gave me the three red rings not two months later lol. Consoles aren't cheap, so I say buy the one with the most variety of good quality games.

Haha nicely said!

If Red Dead couldn't make me buy a console, it's safe to say I'll never own one.

But where's the money in that?

No, I play on the PC because I like it more, console exclusives me damned.

As far as game announcements go, I don't care about games that aren't coming to my platform, so in that sense, I do care about exclusives when they're for my platform.

But as far as being a factor when choosing a platform, no, exclusives do not affect me in any way.

No, if there is a thing I hate is a game being exclusive. If it is produced by the console creators, Sony ou Micro, that's ok, I can understand... but picking up a game from Company X and making their games exclusives only for console Y, man, I simply hate it.

Pretty much all of this.

But also this.

Just because something is an exclusive? Doesn't mean I will buy it. But I care about the exclusives that I am interested in....as Freddo said, that helps determine what console to buy.

(Now, in the past, the exclusives I cared about have been on the Playstation. I've owned a 1, 2, and 3. Until this past E3, there weren't any games I cared about on the PS4 yet. But that list has grown, so the odds of me getting a PS4 have increased greatly. Not all of them exclusives, of course. But some of them are. And that's better than XBox, where there's almost never been an exclusive I've cared about.... I only buy one hardware set per gen, so a Playstation has always been it. )

Same here.

Oh that Bloodborne

I do care about exclusives, and I hope Nintendo keeps theirs forevar!
