I would totally go on a rant about this right now, but I've been typing/ranting way too much lately, so I'll try to keep this short.......okay, that's a lie, I'm just going to rant my entire mouth off...
Okay, so, let's go back to before FFXIII was announced to be multiplatform, about a month or two before the announcement;
[HEADING=2]FLASHBACK[/HEADING]
So, we have the PS3, still pretty expensive and such. People moaning and groaning as to how "the PS3 has no [good] games! WAH WAH WAH!" and people saying "The PS3 has no games that I care about!" Everyone was going on and on about how the PS3 sucks because it had few games, and too a degree they were right.
Then MGS4 came. Suddenly, everyone started saying "The PS3 only has MGS4!" and "Just you wait, MGS4 is coming to 360!". The very same people who were saying that the Ps3 has no good games were all of a sudden saying that MGS4, the allegedly
only good game for the PS3 at the time, would be coming to 360. Now, let it be clear, I don't care one way or another if MGS4 does go to 360 (I'll admit, I will be teething with rage the day it could happen), but these
hypocrites of 360 owners who had once said that the PS3 sucks and has no good games all of a sudden were wanting the allegedly
only good game on PS3 to come to them!
HELLO! Wouldn't you guys
want MGS4 to stay exclusive? That's what you guys have been complaining about the entire time, right? That the PS3 has no good exclusive games or something?
Now, let it be known, I don't have a problem with people who said "Yeah, MGS4 on 360 would be pretty cool" or "I'd like it to happen". Those people are just the bystanders. The people who actively stated "MGS4 is coming to 360!" while they also stated that "The PS3 has no good games!", the
hypocrites, I absolutely hate them. They do not diverse any exclusive games and I hope that Halo 3 or Gears of War comes to PS3 for a taste of their own medicine.
PS3 owners hated this. What the hell was this? We finally get a "good" exclusive, and you guys are whining to us that you want it on your system? Fuck that, buy the damn console yourself! Get the hardware to play it, you guys said that if the PS3 gets some better games you'd get one! Fuck you guys!!
The PS3 owners, unfortunately, were just blatantly put off by 360 owners who called them "fanboys" and never listened to them once and put off their protests as snobbery from the "richer" people.
Let's flash forward to a month or two before the announcement;
[HEADING=2]A week or two before the announcement of FFXIII coming to 360![/HEADING]
The hate was still there, 360 owners still being complete hypocrites about PS3's exclusive games and PS3 owners still hating the hypocritical 360 owners.
Final Fantasy 13 was really the PS3's one big exclusive that would really sell consoles, we all knew it. FFXIII is like legal crack to some people! Everyone knew that it was going to move systems, it was the PS3's saving grace!
Now, by this time, the MGS4 on 360 fiasco had mostly died down, but it was still there. FFXIII was the game that could really prove that the PS3 has good exclusives on itself. Everyone, I'm sure even Squeenix knew that it was going to be a system seller, no doubt about it.
Everyone was excited for it, especially the PS3 owners so we could shove it into their faces about how we have a great game after months of whining and bitching from everyone else.
Now jump over to the day of the announcement.
[HEADING=2]The Announcement![/HEADING]
Outrage. Appalled. Anger. Happiness on some occasions. Mostly dread. Fucking unbelievability.
Final Fantasy 13 has been announced on the 360.
Now, I won't lie, I was outraged at this myself. I called my friend, who was watching E3 live as well, and we raged on it for a good 15 minutes. What the fuck was this? Didn't Squeenix know that FFXIII was a
god damn system seller? Why the hell did they do this, it was going to sell millions in the first week of sales!
Blasphemy! Fucking Heretic! The one god damn game that would prove that the PS3 is a monster to deal with gets multi-fucking-platformed? This makes no sense, why the hell should those
hypocrite of 360 owners deserve to get this game? They're the ones who would have been forced to by a PS3 to play the game that they were whining about!
Now, once again, rumors are propping up everywhere.
[HEADING=2]Back to the Future![/HEADING]
These are all the true responses I've seen since then;
"Did you hear? MGS4 is totally coming to 360!"
"Hear that PS3 fanboys? Fuck you people, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!$#@!#%"
"Yeah, those PS3-fucktards got what's coming to them!"
"Just you wait, God of War III is goin to come to 360"
"I hope LittleBigPlanet comes to 360! I want to play it so badly!"
"Why isn't InFamous coming to 360? It'll sell a load more copies than if it was exclusive!"
"I pray that the next Ratchet and Clank game will come to the 360!"
"MAG totally looks awesome, but I'm afraid the 360 will have a ton of lag."
What. The. Fuck.
Now, all of a sudden, everyone is assuming that every god damn exclusive that's worth a dime will be ported to the 360 or even PC! Not only are these guys completely ignoring the fact that the company making those games are
fucking owned by Sony, but now these guys are being even more hypocritical by all of a sudden wanting every exclusive that's on the PS3, which I may remind you "doesn't have any [good] games", to come to their system?
If any one said that "I hope Gears of War 2 or 3 comes to PS3, that'd be sweet" everyone would be jumping on the persons ass and saying "GEARS OF WAR IS OWNED BY MICROSOFT, NO WAY IN FUCKING HELL!!@#$!" yet when someone wants LittleBigPlanet on 360 it's followed up by sheep saying "Yup yup yup yup!" and even when someone says "SONY OWNS MEDIA MOLECULE!~@%$!" it's ignored and everyone still says "yup yup yup yup!"
Buy the fucking system yourself!
No, I don't want to hear it, "it's too expensive!" or "there aren't enough games for me to consider it". Have you ever heard of something called
saving up? You know, the thing you do when you want something really bad? You save up money to acquire what it is that you desire. Don't complain that you can't pay for a PS3, suck it up and save up for it! I get it, a PS3 can be expensive, but so what? Saving up for something is the basic elementary form of business, unless you guys are clinically retarded (which I'd assume some of the 360 hypocrites are) you have no excuse to do some basic savings and buy it yourself!
I've seen people say, when Bioshock was released on PS3, "There PS3 owners, we've given you Bioshock, now give us MGS4!" as if somehow having a game on 360 and PC go on PS3 is now a trade off for something that was available on two systems. We've given you one of our most high-ended profile games, and now you want more in exchange for a game that pales in comparison to the hype and status of MGS4? Screw. You.
[HEADING=1]But please, if you read anything in this rant, read this;[/HEADING]
Let it be known that I don't have any major qualms of Final Fantasy 13 going to 360. I may have been outraged at the announcement, like everyone else, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate you guys having the game.
I don't hate the 360 or all 360 owners who want to play the game on their 360, I hope you enjoy the game as much as you can and have a good time with it like I will hopefully get.
It's the
hypocrites that I hate about FFXIII going to 360. The people who said that "the PS3 has no [good] games. The people who said "MGS4 is coming to 360". The people who bitched and moaned that they couldn't buy a PS3. I hope that they all get the Red Ring of Death 10 times and have to pay quadruple the amount that they usually have to.
The very same people who said that all the PS3's, apparently, minuscule amount of exclusives will be going to 360. If the exclusives were really that low, you wouldn't be whining for them. If the exclusives were really not that good, you wouldn't be complaining for them.
I'm sorry for this huge rant, but hopefully it'll break through with some people about what was going on with the whole situation of FFXIII going to 360.
If even one person becomes enlighten through this rant, my job here is done.
