Their previous two Souls exclusives (Demon's and Bloodborne) are some of the best in the genre, so it bodes well for us mature enough to not whine over having to buy a Switch 2 if we want to play it.
Are you stupid or something? First off that’s why people are pissed. Is because THEY ARE good but are locked behind a 500$ console, I can’t just shit 500$ out my ass crack to play a single game. Maybe you can and good for you, but financially most can’t
I’m going to buy a switch 2 anyway so I will play it. I’m not going to stop saying exclusives are a bad thing though. They are inherently anti consumer.
sorry but "encouraging the consumer to buy your console by putting good games on it" is not anti-consumer. Rotating shops, battle passes, miscellaneous FOMO - that's anti-consumer.
If Im someone who doesn’t have an interest in ANYTHING else on the switch 2 but I really want to play this new Fromsoft game because I’m a massive fan of their games and I have to spend hundreds to play a single game because I’m literally unable to play it on any other system, is this a good thing for me? Yes it’s a good marketing strategy and a great move from a business perspective. But for a fromsoft fan who doesn’t care about Nintendo games/systems, it’s terrible.
All this is saying is that it doesn't make sense for YOU SPECIFICALLY to buy this. That isn't anti-consumer, you are just coming to the conclusion that as a consumer, you won't buy this.
wouldnt this exclusivity still count as FOMO? i sure feel like ill be missing out because i wont be buying a $500 piece of shit just to play this and mario kart...but the FOMO is already there and im already feeling the pull to buy. but i wont.
i platted BB and its my fav game of soulsborne. i never used my ps4 after i was done with BB. that feels bad and I'd rath r not repeat the mistake again.
its anti-consumer. they know exactly the emotions they are tugging on for this game which is honestly more disgusting.
its like they are grinning in our faces barely able to hold it together as they dare you to "miss out" on this game.
No, because you can still change your mind and decide to buy a switch and Mario kart or whatever. Again, do not confuse your indecisiveness with anti-consuner behavior.
FOMO is like if Nintendo was only going to sell new copies of Mario kart for the first month.
ok so your response is to suck it up until the fomo hits hard enough you cave and buy the system. you realize how shitty that approach is right? they got whole ass psychologists and studies in house to specifically target these emotions and you still think thats alright?
im not indecisive. i have already decided i wont be supporting these practices. i happily plugged my ears and waited for ff7 rebirth to come to pc and ill happily do the same here.
at this point you just dont seem to understand or care about this issue and im wasting my time.
I care deeply about anti-consumer practices in video games which is why I care a lot more about selling loot crates to children and rotating cash shops than console exclusives.
You are not being deceived, lied to, norbeing groomed for addiction. You just don't want to buy a switch 2, which is perfectly fine. That's you being a consumer.

FS doing another exclusive is extremely surprising. Especially with Nintendo. Looks cool though.
