Even as PS3 owners have been celebrating the much anticipated release of Tales of Vesperia for the PS3, some Xbox 360 owning otaku have been infuriated by the “exclusive” nature of their release, and have resorted to typically extravagant displays of outrage.
Above you see their disc breaking and magazine burning… A possible case of overreaction?
Via Ore-teki.
Will similar scenes greet the (presumable) release of Star Ocean 4 for the PS3?
At least (overseas) Xbox 360 owners already have the pleasure of knowing the latest Final Fantasy will be gracing their console…

If they were really upset, they would destroy their 360s as well. If they were logical/reasonable they would sell their 360s and games and buy some Nintendo or PC products. Maybe Sony items too if they don't blame them. Either way, stupid is as stupid does.
Why get mad at either company? I think it's great that any game gets cross platformed, regardless of upgrades and changes. Not everyone has a certain console, so when games get this treatment the people who couldn't enjoy it before now have the opportunity. And if the game does well financially, that's great all around. Businesses can produce more games (possibly of higher quality), consumers get to enjoy more of the kinds of games they like, and people can build a community for those with similar interests (as was said about the old days). Instead you get this. Saddening in my opinion. Instead of building bonds between fellow gamers, they are burning bridges. Oh well, not much that can be done about it I suppose. Just gotta try my best to avoid these sorts of people.
Do they need to be all virgins... =_=
Well for me it´s really scam. While I can fully understand it why they did that in Japan; cause the release for the PS3 Version was much later; I just cannot understand whats big pile of shit this procedere has for the European Version. Cause here, the game will release simultaneausly in June 2009. and here the PS3 Version has just some more content for no reason.
Takes a deep breath....
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~
How immature. I guess those guys have a lot of money, because if they go burning their games and crap like that...
Idiocy...
Well, Bandai Namco do have a history of being a slutty whore. All hell is gonna break lose if they port IDOLM@STER to PS3, which, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it happens. Consider SquareEnix has been a pretty good whore in the past, SO4 coming to PS3 is not likely. Again, if Xbox 360 is going under, SE might switch side and deliver the finishing blow. All in all, Xbox 360 owners are gonna get shafted. If you think of PS3 as a BluRay player that has the gaming capability as a bonus, You would feel better about the purchase...
You know what, all the companies who make these things are the ones laughing at you customers for getting all butt hurt about everything they do. All those employees have lives of their own and do what they want to do with their life - to further develop technology and continue working in order to provide for their families, "fanboys" and "console wars" are only providing them entertainment while they continue working on new things and suck more money from your wallet one way or another!
These companies don't listen to raging "fanboys"(such a stupid word, really) because those people are nothing but low-lifes who know nothing about business standards or even how to run a business.
And this is why you should never EVER Ever Ever Ever Ever Buy, Play, or Do anything that Requires an Xbox and/or Xbox Accessories.
I was Raged, but not stupid rage.
all you have to do is
Take all your xbox items and donate them to a third world kid. problem solved.
"And this is why you should never EVER Ever Ever Ever Ever Buy, Play, or Do anything that Requires an Xbox and/or Xbox Accessories."
I'm guessing you're a PS3 fanboy?
The exact same could be said if this scenario was reversed...though if it was for a Wii, no one would care.
Now they get a hint of how PS3 owners feel every time microsoft buys out exclusive DLC just for the 360 on cross console games.
I spit on their logic and pity their stupidity. At the very least they should have gotten some cash by selling it, or just keep the game.
What a bunch of poor idiots.
Oh god lol.
I love Vesperia, but the rage spewing forth from with decision is just an incredible volcano of hilarity.
This fanboyism is stupid. Who wins in the end? Microsoft and Sony, with whatever little money you have left in their hands, laughing their way to the bank.
...Why rage hard when there's always the possibility for the developers to tack on the extras in the form of downloadable content for the 360?
Also I never thought I'd say this, myself being a content 360 owner, but to all the freakout loyalist otaku's/fanboys - CRY MOAR RETARDS!
PS3 owners go wild.
Bunch of idiots. Referring to people who sabotage stuff.
U people comment so much and yet u bought and play the games .All are losers expected for the game developers!
aww now a whole 'nother console has to play that generic crap :(
otaku is an idiot :(
Thank you kind anon. I think this same trend happens in just about everything. But that's not to say you can't just ignore it and find smart enough friends who don't feed on the drama and live in peace and relative happiness.
Even I have to admit to succumbing to it, from a different niche, as I never used to really care about the non-offending lolicon community. But as my local newspaper and this website continually reports, their art form is facing some of the most painfully unchallenged and bigoted suppression of any victimless niche in our time.
I feel their suffering as my own, and suddenly it gets personal. The temptation to give the other side the attention it's pining for comes and goes, but ultimately giving it so much thought in the first place is already the first step towards further fueling the drama involved, and unwittingly legitimizes the intolerance machine.
Feeding it the scraps it will use to ping back at you, then you pong back at it, suddenly it's everyone's loss when take a step back and look at it all.
Not a productive line of thought. Especially when faced with fanatical levels of opposition, internationally.
Kind of still relatable to console wars, but I digress...
Wow ignore this post. I think I broke http://www.sankakucomplex.com because I posted this above once as a reply, then the server crashed while it was sending and took about 20 minutes to start working again.
Now the post appears in two different places -_-;
Do tl;dr's really have the power to damage servers?!
My otaku kingdom for a delete/edit button *(;_;)*
OH god not this RAAAAGE burning and breaking of shit again.
damn hardcore otaku need to grow some balls and grow up.
Blame M$ for buyin time exclusive. lol they should add extra game for everygame M$ buy out when it comes to the ps3
How do PS3 owners of GTA4 and Fallout 3 feel compared to those who own the 360 versions.Both games were two of the top 5 games of 2008and both are still continuing to be supported with new game material/adons from their makers....for the 360 versions, NOT the PS3 versions, EVER.
I didn't post that to take a stab at PS3 owners(i am one, as well as a 360 Elite), but only to show that all this stuff goes both ways.Why are people so upset about the PS3 version of Vesperia getting extra content...a YEAR after the 360 version had come and gone.Outside of Japan the PS3 version of Vesperia isn't likely to even sell very well.Look at Valkyria Chronicles for the PS3(EXCLUSIVELY mind you)by Sega.While an EXSCELLENT action rpg, it sold horribly here in North America and not much better in the rest of the world, save Japan.RPG's only tend to sell well on the 360 here in NA.It's just a fact, and that's why the 360 most often get's them either exclusive permanant,exclusive additional content, and/or timed exclusivity, whereas the PS3 does not.
Someone below wrote "360 otakus". That's not necessarily the case for me.
For me it's all about fairness. If the PS3 owners are gonna get this extra stuff in their Tales of Vesperia (ToV) version, I would like it as DL content on our side. Also, while I'm not one to give into conspiracies; I have noticed that, at least as far as NAMCO is concerned, "exclusive" 360 titles eventually wind up on the PS3 but with extra content (Eternal Sonata anyone?).
Where are the "exclusive" PS3 titles being ported to the 360? I can't think of any, can anyone else? I don't like the feeling that when the 360 gets any Jrpgs at all they're "1st drafts" or something along those lines while the competitors eventually get the "real" versions.
Eventually I'll get a PS3 since I'm a HUGE God of War fan; but a fair shake I don't think is too much to ask. The 360 has proven itself to be really good on the DL content front, so why hasn't it been done for ES?
They probably wanted to produce it for the ps3 in the first place but they didn't want take that chance since it's risky to make exclusives for the ps3 and because they needed money.
this is why fanboys are stupid.
or rather, brainless
lolz just soled my PS3 since its just collecting dust in my room...... and now this game came out ... ironic
Butthurt much?
Guys, let's stop fighting over what the second place console is. Don't really care about 1st place because of how crappy the 1st place console is (Wii), but BOTH the PS3 and the X360 has their strengths in their game libraries. Just buy both and stop this fanboyism pls.
We need to go back to oggling moe girls, not arguing about which of the two next gen consoles is better. (Wii is last gen)
Rather than burn it, give it to me...
Good thing I have all 3 systems...
To require that it do so would be to claim that what any text means must always be true and never false. ,
fuck the xbox
I 100% do NOT feel betrayed. In fact, the add ons forced me to buy a PS3 and I am excited to nab this when it comes out
DELICIOUS XFAG TEARS
THEY ARE SO SWEET
Not to mention, extra stuff's kinda obligatory because of the greatly expanded disc side. It'd be a *crime* not to cram at least more voice work in.
Anyhow, I own the 360 version, US version. Played the shit out of the game, love it, am replaying it several times over with friends.
When this PS3 version comes out, I'm importing a Japanese copy to hopefully totally forget about the dubbing (which is average, really).
I'm so happy this happened :D
lol
there is no EXCLUSIVE thing again.
All is for money~ >.<
Haha I'm glad PS3 owners are getting this game, it's a good game and we should share the greatness as a whole rpg loving people not split up by consoles. The only real problem that kinda irked me for like 5 secs when I first read it was the added stuff. But after a while I really really didn't care nor was I shocked seeing how they did that with Eternal Sonata. We should stop fighting, both consoles have their ups and downs. No one is better then the other, so lets just stop fighting and not be like the guys who burned their games cause they felt "shafted" by a company who has done this before.
The big difference between this and FFXIII is that ToV for the ps3 is getting more content. There is no word on that for FFXIII.
360, PS3, and Wii all suck! Everyone knows Wonderswan is where it's at!
Quiet, you fools. You might gain the ire of otakus and be shredded into a thousand pieces.
As sad as this is, I tottaly saw this coming, espically considering the sheer lack of exclusives all around...
not to worry, the loser who snapped his disc in half probably owns another 4 copies.
stupids... just buy both consoles and issue fixed.
Oops I forget it, their mothers do not give them enough money to buy another console.
I'm sure that no otaku will not reach to this level of anger by an exclusive game for the Nintendo WII
Dude that just dumb. Fanboys are sooo sad. Just because this game went over to the PS3 they start to cry and burn their games and mags. they need help.
well, the facts that xbox360er got used as a scrapgoat to enhance for the ps3 version, i think that what got em pissed
I'm reminded of the Kannagi incident lol
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/11/15/cuckolded-otaku-desecrates-kannagi-over-virginity-issue/
Reaction is the same, reason is different. Either way people like to waste money..
Japanese nerds = Drama queens with emotional behavior of a 5 year with ADD
Just like you retarded fat amerikkans.
Eat some more hamburgers and go be fat somewhere else.
Obvious butthurt eurofag.
Protip:A European is Number 1 for the most obese people in a country.
Enjoy being 3rd world and obese.
i'm laughing even more :D
wow, they got RICKROLL'D o______O
that's a good way to put it.
The broken disc story↓
A guy bought TOV for his 360.
↓
He fucked up his TOV disc, render it unable to play.
↓
The guy bought another TOV disc.
↓
PS3 TOV came
↓
The guy decided to break his old(unplayable) disc for the lols.
↓
You guys get fooled.
He still had to buy more copies because he bought it on a console with a history of scratching discs.
lol, i thaught it was obvious that it was gonna get ported.
Ah, yes, the 'Exclusive' sucker punch...
Now if Namco will announce a PS3 release of iM@s-SP...
I would looovvveeeee to see how many JP Xbox owners will toss their console out of their windows?(pun intended)
With the Haruka incident on Home and SP on the PSP, guess that day really isn't that far away...
Stupid Sony fanboys, they lost all their exclusives, crying all day that "their" games went to xbox.
Now they get a game from xbox, and they celebrate, SO FUNNY IM LAUGHING OUT LOUD.
ROFL burn the box you play it in as well and buy you a machine that doesn't break down every month.. he he
It's just funny how retarded fanboys just leap onto every passing-by troll who dare scratches their almighty console-deity...
Roflmaocopter indeed.
¡They are in despair! ¡Namco has left them in despair!

The reaction on 2ch.
Sounds like a waste of whatever how much money they spent on it, which I'm assuming is around the area of $60 converted to Yen?
something like $78 converted to yen.

say, anybody gets mad if i declare that final fantasy ceased to be interesting with ff10 ?
i did not like ff9, but after the 10th, they're failing over and over. knowing xbox 360 will get ff12 too is not going to make me that happy.
it's a bit off topic though.
Ehh...FF6 was my first FF title, when it was called FF3 for the SNES. It's one of my favorites, but 7 and 9 top it, if I rated how I liked the FF series it would probably be something like 9 -> 7 -> 6 -> 10 -> 11 (I played that MMO to death really...) -> 12 -> 8.
9 for the characters, the story up to the end, and the battle system. 7 for the battle system/equipment, it's just pretty cool, though the characters again, I kinda liked. 6 is nice, more for nostalgia trip now than for actual epic greatness, though it does have that I believe.
10 fell flat imo, blitz ball was cool, but really was all that game had to offer for me that was interesting. 11 was good for a long time, but as I mentioned, I played it to death. Not sure what it was about 12 that I didn't like, aside from how they tried to make it kinda like offline FFXI.
8 was not a FF title imo. They did far too many things new/different that just did not work at all. I did not like the characters at all, the magic draw system infuriated me being the completist that I am, and I had to have all 99 of any magic spell. Let's not forget about the monsters that leveled up at the same rate you did. I also did not like the direction they went with the CG art and the story, while still encorporating key elements of "the epic journey against fate and the end of the world" just didn't rivet me to play it in spite of everything else that displeased me about the game. Having said all of that, I can understand why you would like FF8 because of it being the first FF title you had ever played.
I'ma step out on a limb here and say that FF started going downhill after I...maybe III, if I'm feeling generous.
FF was never good to begin with...in fact...all games sux!! i stopped playing video games n laugh hard to those who said playing video games is fun...
/in b4 troll
I'll take your opinion on the FF series for what it's worth. Nothing.
Anononononono you are forgetting you are living in a game, if it sucks then just die already.
FF13... FF12 is on PS2...
shesh, you're right. i meant, ff13...
ff12 in fact DID NOT make me happy.
Nah u r probably rite.They totally ran out of good ideas after FFX.FF12's story was crap.i didn't even managed to completed it.
I don't even understand people's standards when it comes to this, being how 12 was the closest to a decent story in the series' history.
i played ff12 to the point you have to rescue penelo... and somehow the story so far havent caught any of my attention =/
and i noticed all the previous series got the main character into trouble, but this one... stealing jewelry and escaped the castle without much trouble... O_o even if they landed in the prison... the security... *facepalm*
i wanna finish the game, but kinda lose interest into it now >_>
FF7 was the last good FF. FF9 was good until the end that made no sense whatsoever. 10 was just a super-linear piece of trash with a lacklustre story just like their newest work The Last Remnant. Use a turbo controller, go to sleep, game completed itself.
Rant Mode off
FF7 sucked and still sucks.
FF6 was the last good FF title.
*Flame Shield ON!*
Magical Girl RPGs are still RPGs! Also, I dig the whole Rikku getting a bunch of skimpy outfits deal...
6 is overrated, and only beloved because it was the last 2D Final Fantasy. 7 is also terribly overrated, for reasons too numerous to mention here.
As far as the series goes, 8 was probably the only "bad" one, and X-2 was the most underrated.
Omgosh go back to your magical girl rubbish and stay away from our RPGs!!
FF7 was shit, and so was PS1.
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHTS YOU DUMB KID.
If FF7 was so shitting why anyone will bother make a movie out of it?Get ur facts rite buddy it has the most interesting plot among all the ff series though its 3d graphic still suz but it was consider it was at 1997 wat dat u expect?
Because retarded fanboys with emo issues are one of the easiest types to sucker money from.
Just toss in an emo main character with spiky hair and an oversized sword, a big chested bimbo bouncing all around the place, and let them fight a long-hairred emo punk anti-hero with a 'katana-sword'(which is basically saying Sword-sword), and the above mentioned retards will just bite onto every scrap of rubbish they release.
please tell me you're joking. ffX ia a piece of crap.
i didn't mind 10.
i played 8 first, and i liked it. well, i was young. i played then 9, which sucked hard imo (no charisma from characters whatsoever, the story was an actual maze, and the end had absolutely no sense at all, as someone already said). then i played ff10, which was not that bad as 9. i liked blitzball ;DDDDddd but the levelling up was crap, and i didn't like the monster laboratory, the fact that you could break 9'999 limits, not to mention the fact that the main bosses were easy as hell. come on, the last boss healed itself for 9'999x2 everytime he got hit, but jesus, he was zombieable. he killed itself :S
next, i played ff7, which had charismatic characters, good story, and an excellent magic/equip arrangement, if compared to the other ones i played, especially to ff8, where the "usable item-like" magic and junction system kinda sucked hard.
ff10-2.. hell, i even bought it ._. 2 hours of playing, and then i sold it. i did not played ff11, neither ff12, since i just watched my ps2 playing that boring game. useless story, bad ending. like i'm going to the market because i need bread, and there i find other customers that have their own needs. while in the queue someone say "hey let's go save the world", we go, save the world, come back, leave the market and farewell.
if i have to admit a sin, that would be not being able to play ff6. i even have it on cd, so i could play on ps2, but the graphic gap is too much for me to handle atm :\
There is one in FFVII...
Just that it's a male yandere...
well anyway, though we can't find a proper common thought about which is the "best", or "which one we liked the best", we're all on the same boat when talking about "next ff won't make us happy"..
>on the same boat
>same boat
>boat
...nice boat?
the only ff i truly liked maybe VII, followed by IX.
i actually play XII, and I think it was a decent game, but the ending sucks. it was like the guys who made the story run out of idea at the end of the game, and say "what the hell, lets just throw some random crap for the ending and hope to gods it work". it didn't.
i hate VIII and X, but it's probably because those two were a romance novel disguised as a game, and i'm not too fond of romance stories. i highly suspect that FFX'x crappy voiceacting is a contributing factor, too.
FF would be better with some yandere
Stttupid humie!
Naw you kan play that game animore bekause yu burn it!
Discs are meant to be burned anyways...
Since PS3 dont play burned disc, they're trying alternative methods of burning it right now.
yay, destroy your "thing" too...
It's Resident Evil 4 all over again.
gg... why not just give em away for free if ur gonna burn em >.< *tear*
There goes your money.
they have much money to buy again...
gg i thought they were burning the game.. :( 'eye' fail..
they did break it though...
that was funny lol
360 otakus
lol
YOU ARE DOING WRONG use nero or alcohol 120 TO burn your disks XD
Well, it could be that, but I also think that time constraints may have had something to do with it. I mean, they completely took out the world map in symphonia 2, and Flynn was made out to be more than just some chump who'd end up helping out a few times from the very beginning, plus I always thought it was odd they'd go as far as making him a playable character just for the one battle... it just didn't make any sense, production wise. And some of the dungeons felt incomplete - I know we were all expecting a pirate ghost boss in the ghost ship...
The signs were all there that stuff was -missing-, so if anything I think this is all stuff that was originally intended, but they just ran out of time. What you said about them not wanting to push the format to its limits just doesn't make sense, considering that it -has- been done already, even by Symphonia.
Like you, I don't have much money, so I won't be able to play this very soon. I definitely understand the otaku-rage, too, but... really, that is taking it a bit far...
Probably a bette rgame because of the greater storage capability of the Blu-Ray format. Don't think they wanna pull a SO4 by releasing a multi-DVD set. When games go multi-DVD, that just goes to show the outdated format is getting pushed to its limits.
Yeah, except the PS3 guys get a BETTER VERSION. Better. By a LOT.
Hell, I don't blame these outraged fans. The producers turned their backs on them.
See me? I love my 360, but I don't have enough money to afford a PS3. Therefore, the knowledge that I would forever more be playing an inferior version would be like a damned splinter in my dick.
It's sad, but we now live in an age when "Console Exclusive" REALLY means "You probably won't see it on any other consoles for the next six to nine months or so".
It's pitiful really. Don't they know to expect ports to be made later on other systems in the future? This happened a few times in the remakes or ports onto different platforms, so they really should just expect to see just a time delay for this game.
Their outrage seems to be simply childish and retarded.
I have a 360 and got this game as well, but it's not like I'm raging 'cause it's not a 360 exclusive anymore. Actually I'm glad it's coming to the PS3 meaning I can enjoy even more than I did and the fact that all my bros who have a PS3 that hasn't tried Vesperia, can.
Besides what's wrong with sharing the awesome games with the other bros out there? It's all cool. Seems to me that they're blaming others when it's really their choice in the first place.
I'm ranting too much but yeah, I'm happy for a PS3 port. Hope it actually comes to NA though

>gtfo
Leave and take this shit with you.
