Reading this whole thread again, I fully believe that if we had a one console future and it was run by Nintendo, had all the core games and top features, people will still avoid them.
It is like a forbidden fruit that I cannot eat, yet it is dangling right in front of me and its scent is making me hungry. Yes, I am glad that a sequel to a game that I liked is being made, but the annoyance of not being able to play it (or that it would be very inconvenient and possibly expensive) outweighs this and causes me frustration and anger.
Either all games are multiplatform, in which case I can buy one console and pick and choose what software I want, or the exclusives are nicely fit per console. Say Nintendo has their franchises, Microsoft's Xbox has all Western-developed blockbusters and shooters, and Sony's PlayStation has a lot of Japanese action games and RPGs. Hypothetically, I would then prefer to buy a PlayStation as it would cater to my tastes the closest. The point is that I like convenience and predictability. I do not mind a game from console A (that I own) also getting a port on console B (that I do not own), as long as I can get everything I want on the console that I own. Exclusive or multiplatform, I do not care, as long as I can get my one-stop-shop.
As an individual consumer pursuing a mostly adolescent hobby, I am far more concerned about getting the games I want to play on a short-term basis, than any potential mid-term or long-term repercussions.
Relevant.

Even if Bayonetta 2 ends up the only game I own and play on the Wii U (doubtful but not impossible), I'll be perfectly happy.
True, but emotions like anger and happiness are often not very rational. Especially on an internet message board where it is very easy to vent your anger in public, without really stopping and thinking about it.This is, of course, irrational. People believe lots of irrational things (and you're playing devil's advocate anyway), I'm just saying that it doesn't make for a very reasonable argument.
It is convenient, dangerously so. I'm a big fan of PC gaming and Steam, and have often found myself wishing for more games to appear on Steam. Yet at the same time, and recently increasingly so, I've become aware that focusing on just one digital distribution platform is actually not all that great, especially for developers. Something like Greenlight is opening it up and improving the situation, but it is a situation that shouldn't have existed in the first place. Indie games not on Steam have incredible difficulties with getting exposure and the growing popularity of Steam is making this situation only worse for them.Well, nothing is more convenient than and simple than a market with clear, delineated monopolies, which is again largely what you are advocating.
Doubt it. The name is pretty silly, you know.Eteric Rise said:What if there are more games for the Wii U in the future that you want to play? Would you be willing to buy one?
Not the Miyamoto we wanta Miyamoto who tells people to fuck off ;P

(Is that his mom? Hahah.)
Being upset the option is there rather than not at all does not seem rational, but surely though you can understand a small element of bittersweetness to this news if you weren't prepared to shell out the extra cash if nothing else in the foreseeable future on the system is appealing. Early on there was a lot of mocking of even the sentiment of "aw man, looks like I need to buy a Wii U. Wasn't expecting to do that just yet."

sure, i'll startI'm sick of the whining talk, can we actually start discussing features we'd like to see and things that we hope make it into the game? Or how they might evolve witch time, dodge offset, or combat??Or what new crazy weapons they might introduce or combinations thereof??? Anything but complaining please. I hear my children cry all day and fight, can we talk like adults about the actual game instead, of pout about it not being on our desired platform????
Thanks.
Okay can you tell us what this is relevant to the thread or how your post contributes to the discussion of Bayonetta 2 on NeoGAF? Thanks.
I hope the game only has two difficulty levels, equivalent to Hard and NSIC in the first game. Or at least makes hard a selectable choice out of the gate.I'm sick of the whining talk, can we actually start discussing features we'd like to see and things that we hope make it into the game?

HITLER DIED TO TRY TO SAVE THE WORLD OF SCUM LIKE N-FANTARD SHITS. SHAME.
Perhaps it was not necessary, but I saw other people posting meltdowns, so I thought "Why not?"
If it's a problem, I'll remove it.
Oh absolutely, I'm not suggesting I don't understand it, just that it doesn't make for a very good argument.
It's sort of like saying that I understand why people get angry when you find out your ex girlfriend is dating a new man. It is a natural, human impulse, and I absolutely see where the feeling comes from. But that doesn't make a good argument for it -- it just says that the feeling exists, whether it's irrational or not.
So if someone said, "My ex is dating a new guy. I know it's silly and unreasonable, but I'm angry about it," I'd understand. We're all human, and these sorts of emotional impulses hit us on occasion.
However, if someone tried to make a real argument that they deserve to be upset because their ex girlfriend is behaving unfairly and how-could-she-possibly-dare-to-find-a-new-person, I would call them silly and unreasonable.
I'm not a mod, but bringing in outside stuff from posters that really has nothing to do with the thread is probably not a good idea.
I just don't think that continuing to draw attention to and to give a platform for such opinions on this forum is beneficial to proper discussion. If people are out of line here, the mods will take care of it. Beyond that we don't really need to continue repeating the same shit over and over especially when it's off-forum.

You know what I do when a system I did not intend to buy gets software I would like to buy?
I buy that system to play the software I would like.

Trying to switch the focus a bit, since saw this in another thread.
Does partnering with Nintendo for this game give it better, worse or the same amount of chance to succeed?
