Alan Wake

I love all the pissed off people. I assume they dont have a problem with all the Sony exclusives?

 

Yes we don't, we were never promised any of them would be appearing on the PC only to have them taken away. Sony did not close down a nice development studio dedicated to bringing RTS games on the PC, Sony did not make Epic give up making PC games. I hate the fact that they said Alan Wake is coming to the PC, they held a demonstration using the Intel Quad Cores saying how it will take advantage of the same at the Intel Developers Conference and not to forget the use of DX 10. A year later they said they are focussing on the 360 version at that time and now they say the game is best experienced on a couch - seriously that's their reason, sounds like the reason every console fanboy gives whenever a PC vs Console debate comes up. I also remember an interview where the MS official said they want to limit the number of cross platform titles coming to the PC as much as possible since most people in Europe would rather buy the PC version. I have nothing against the 360 or it's games it's this kind of attitude from MS which annoys me a lot.

So what? They dont owe you sh*t. They decided it was in their best interest to go exclusive and they did. Suck it up and deal with it.

 

These hissy fits are laughable.

 

Oh and just by the way, if it wasnt for the 360 the PC would be starving right about now. Chew on that before you go all MS (or is M$ still cool?) are the spawn of satan.

The 360 is the saviour of PC gaming, lol, seriously gimme a break. Guess acting as though everyone who gets pissed off at Microsoft (which must be like oh sooo 1995) must mean they all think MS (or maybe M$ if that is what you think we prefer) makes you look very cool huh?

 

If you find my hissy fit funny, more power to you, who am I stop you from laughing. I wanted to express how it was annoying to have the game taken away from my platform of choice, don't I have the right to express that without people coming in and asking me to suck it up. I am going to suck it up and deal with it offcourse, do I have a choice in this at all? In any case I am done with this thread, the game isn't coming to the PC, I have nothing else to discuss.

I don't understand why people use that phrase. This applies to anyone that ever ran a business. They don't owe us sh*t.

 

The disappointment is perfectly justified. Alan Wake was always projected as an Xbox 360 and PC game since the day it was announced.

 

As for "doing what's in their best interest", you can justify anything with that. Why is Splinter Cell all action oriented now? Coz Ubisoft can sell more of it that way. It's in their best interest. It isn't stopping you from throwing hissy fits every other day in the Conviction thread, is it?

peace

 

Yeah but only one of those two scenarios has a game being sold, isnt it? I will be buying SC and the complainers wont be buying AW. And if you arent going to buy AW then the developers dont owe you jack.

 

To use an analogy, if Pepsi decide not to sell Pepsi from tomorrow then its their call. You arent buying it, they arent getting your money. You are no longer their customer. But if they decide to change the taste of Pepsi and you dont like it then then you have a right to complaint.

 

Get over it.

 

And just to reiterate, without MS, PC gaming would be a very, very poor place to be right now. If it was only Sony and Nintendo in it this gen how many multiplatform console games would you be playing on the PC? Wanna guess? Anyone remember the old PS1 and N64 days?

The sudden cancellation of the PC version is bad for us gamers, but probably makes economic sense for Microsoft.

 

TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if the game makes it way to PCs at some point in the future, maybe through a third party publisher that buys the publishing rights from Microsoft. That way, MS gets its money up front and doesnt take on any of the piracy risks and related losses.

 

I am sad about the cancellation because it gives me one less reason to get myself a gaming PC.

Oh alright, so let me get this straight, if the game isn't coming to the PC at all (which is a direct outcome of Microsoft (M$) and Remedy deciding not to bring it to the PC) I should not be allowed to express my frustation since I can't buy the game anyways since it's like not coming to the PC so I am like not a customer at all, I should have whined ONLY if it was coming to the PC but maybe it was a poor port or something...gotcha.

Dont mind Afty. He's pissed because he fears he may actually enjoy Conviction inspite of the gameplay modifications.

 

Rant away. IVG owes part of its existence to the power generated from all the steam vented in its threads.

Yep, pretty much.

 

 

I will just pretend that wasnt sarcasm and you actually agree with me cause this is easier that way. :yawn:

My trolling strengths are confined to very specific topics :yawn:

But i really do feel very bad abt this whole fiasco, i was really waiting for it...its like someone telling me that a MGS game is PS3 exclusive only to find out on release day that its never coming to the PS3 and is X360/PC exclusive
