Do you care if a console exclusive goes to PC?

Interested in what this means. Could you give an example or even a Google search phrase?

 

I cant really say i dont like it when console exclusive games come to pc, but actually, i think it's fair for a console having a good amount of exclusive games. That's where the appeal is. Same for Pc, i think every platform should have game libraries this way.

 

Have you been living in a cave for the past year and a half?

 

Not exactly, but I haven't kept up with current games for at least that long.

 

It had to do with R.Mika and slapping her ass in an intro animation. People complained, and capcom changed it.

 

What is with the horrid SJW preference anyway? Western dev studios are being infiltrated by them. Japanese dev studios are censoring Nintendo games.

Remember when Jack Thompson used to bitch about Grand Theft Auto, and everyone in unison would just tell him to shut up and go on with their business?

That's exactly what needs to be done towards anyone playing the mouthpiece activist, speaking on behalf of other people's "justice and equality" in games they did not create. Their opinion on Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat is their opinion, not expert fact. If they want to make a difference? By all means, they can go read a few programming tutorials, tinker with some samples, and build their own damn game.

Half the reason I enjoyed video games so much was because they typically have no purposeful agenda, no relevant dialog, no politicized narrative to get across. I'll be damned if that cancerous, inescapable type of propaganda that rules over basically every other facet of media completely hijacks video games.

 

I laugh and get the popcorn when people complain about this.

 

Companies are little bitches now, everything offends everyone. Since completely ignoring it and worrying about something more important than an ass slap is extremely difficult.

Nothing can be overly sexual, overly violent or vulgar which leaves the passionate audience (us) with less.

 

Don't care that Quantum Break is coming to PC. What I do care about is that it's going to the Windows Store. I have a funny feeling that will be its own can of worms.

 

Same. People getting offended and pissed over stuff so meaningless makes me chuckle.

I have my concerns, too. Games for Windows Live anybody?

 

Oh, I thought it was something related to difficulty or gameplay. I think usually the reason given for this is that it offends female gamers.

Even before Metal Gear Solid, I remember anti-nuclear propaganda in video games. I guess it's a lot worse now, but I remember it always there.

 

Yes they're so special they need things removed... Zangief is too muscly it makes me feel self conscious about my body as it's an unrealistic take on the male body.
Perhaps a bunch of male gamers should complain? So my points stands originally.

 

And apparently, thanks largely to GfWL, the PC version won't support fan made mods, which is a real pity as a good mod-base can enhance a games' quality and length of interest enormously.

If I do buy the game, it will be on the PC, since I don't have an XBox One, but if I had an XBox one, then the lack of mod-ability would probably result in my buying the console version, since I prefer console gaming slightly over PC gaming.

 

Complain about an in-game male character being sexualised, and muscle bound as anything, and the gaming companies would just laugh at you. It's the modern version of 'equality', where only minorities are allowed to be offended (even though women aren't actually a minority, there are slightly more women than men in the world).

 

I think the issue is that people who would complain about over-sexualized male characters aren't as adamant or vehement as those who complain about overly-sexualized female characters are. As in, I highly doubt they would make as much of a stink or throw as much of a fit. Then you'd also have the people concerned with OS female characters telling the majority to "check their privilege" and explain that they are already in first place, so why should they care or do anything?

That's all you'll get from me. Don't wanna drag this too far off-topic.

 

Actually is was cultural reasons that R.Mika's ass slapped was changed. The Animation would have led to the game being banned in some of the countries they were trying to get traction in. Some how underboob was ok. It's one of weird cultural things. Like the Bottoms of feet being offensive in Thailand.

 

Take all my popcorn, it's not salty enough:

If a dev studio wants to make a game with some kind of message because they choose to do so.. cool, by all means. I mean, look at Bioshock.

What's I'm against here is censorship brought on by power-hungry thinktanks seeking to narrow the range of total creative control and freedom of expression. There are already enough people in high places seeking to dictate what's good and evil to associate with, as if their views and personal feelings are absolute truth and should be mandatory for all without question.

If this type of mono-think continues to encroach the many different channels of the gaming industry, it will follow the course of Hollywood or MTV: the motive for making games will become less and less about making exciting games with new ideas and more about the industry exploiting the best proven formulas for maximizing influence (and from there, growing agendas and profit).

CoD is a good example of this in a mild form. Aside from being a game, it's a really popular brand that a certain demographic (12-24 yo Male), seeking a certain kind of culture and lifestyle (MLG pro hardcore console gamer types) can really benefit from belonging to. Whether the game is the same rehashed thing or not every year, it sells great and gets high reviews in large part because of it's associative power (social aspect, identity). Same could be said for Madden or FIFA... It doesn't matter if the only thing that changed from last year was the roster, what does matter is that everyone else the prospect aspires to be like is playing it.

Add this formula to platforming games, RPGs, creative adventure games, fighting games.. anything really, and you can frame/weave/phase in any sort of dialogue or agenda you want into it so long as it has enough of a buzz and magnetism with it's target demo to slowly pull in outliers. The younger someone is, or the less they know, the more likely they are to absorb the context of whatever that agenda may be.

All in all, the battle with gaming is similar to the tech world battle between Apple (form and social approval) and Android/PC (functionality and individualism). Anytime an established subculture goes trendy and gets hijacked by a much larger mob of normies - tech, internet, gaming, art, music, science ("I fucking love science bro") - expect a reaction and schisms. It's a good thing in a sense, all disputes are branches of the same tree and it's new life. It just sucks for the tree when branches have termites or get so top-heavy that they'll snap off and cause damage.

 

Censoring per country has been around for ages, but removing it completely? Far too drastic for something that's barely on the screen for more than 3s.

 

Little did Capcom know, that making all these changes to appease certain groups & regions wouldn't change the fact that they insulted everyone, male & female, by releasing this pile of shit in the first place.

As for the topic, I gave up console gaming with the 360, so I actively hope for PC ports. I'm tired of faulty console hardware, paying to play online, pricier games, having to get up & change game discs, proprietary hardware, & no modding ability (or if there is, it is a hassle & probably requires hardware modifications).

My brand new PC that I built for just under $1000 can play GTA 5 basically maxed out, as well as emulate F-Zero GX. I only know of one "system" that can do both of those things. My PC. & it kicks ass!

 

OH ONE OF THOSE PC gamers.
