Rise of the Tomb Raider's timed exclusivity + your thoughts

Is there any news for a PC release? I know that it is a timed Xbox exclusive, and I really do not want to have to use my 360 to play it. Seeing as how it is set for holiday 2015, I should probably not expect to be getting it until Q1/Q2 2016?

This also raises the question of timed exclusivity in general. Do you agree with the practice? Personally, I think it's bullshit.

why complain when you get the best version

we all know the xbone version will be 1080p like 30 fps low shadow low graphics

pc will be like 4k 60 fps high settings

would u rather get some beatup truck for a year or wait in a year and get a porsche or something plus they can work on it longer an add stuff to it for the new graphics cards like hair or something enhancements

BS or not... money talks. Best to be patient. They will not market the PC version until a while after the XB1 release. The whole point is to make it look like you have to buy an XB1 to play it. It is coming to PC and will be way better on PC.

We have so many games to choose from on this wonderful platform, a few being timed exclusives shouldn't ever be a big concern, except in crossplatform multiplayer games like SF5.

The worst thing about a console trying to generate sales through timed exclusives? it will probably work.

There are so many games you could sink 1000s of hours into on PC it's hard to even remember when games were originally released (unless they don't support widescreen hehe)

I'm not very happy about having to wait 6+ months just because MS paid the publishers. I really liked Tomb Raider 2013 and this is sounding even better, hopefully its worth the wait.

Generally I didn't care for Tomb Raider (the new one) so it doesn't bother me. However, if it was a series I enjoyed, it would obviously be annoying.

The PR jargon they were spouting about Microsoft helping them was patronizing as ****.

Well, timed exclusivity is certainly better than absolute exclusivity.

I really don't care if it comes to other platforms. If the sequel is a dramatically different game from the original, then maybe i'll have some interest. However, considering the way most AAA games work these days, it's probably just going to be a minor upgrade from the original game.

Pretty much this right here... It will be more of the same with a different coat of paint for the setting...

In that case I can wait for a very long time if needed.

More like 792p 30 fps.

True, I'm still enjoying Garry's Mod to this day,

The timed exclusive isn't meant for people to go out and buy an XB1, it's meant for people that have both an XB1 and PC.

They will buy it first on XB1, and then some of them will buy it for PC.
