this can really go for a lot of shit Namco Bandai's done this generation. Like trying to sell in game money for real money. In MMOland, that's illegal.

and then there's Katamari's DLC nonsense...Eternal Sonata got screwed here too, and Soul Calibur 4's DLC bit. we can go on....

•The games should not be dispersed across multiple platforms, they should be [i]consolidated onto one platform [i.e. Xbox 360].

•Certain platforms should not be favoured over others.

WTF?

"[i]•The games should not be dispersed across multiple platforms, they should be [i]consolidated onto one platform [i.e. Xbox 360].

DURP DE DURP DURP DURPIDY DOO

Contradiction + hypocrisy = FAIL

So they want it to not be on PS3? (haha don't make me laugh, remove a game from a platform, do you even KNOW how buisness' work? XD), but at the same time they don't want certain platforms to be favoured? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Guys, just come out and say it, come on, say it with the rest of the silly people in this petition: "We are fanboys, and don't want good games to come out on the PS3", go on, it'll make you feel a lot better :] I promise.

Woops :] BBcode fail :). You know what I meant :P

Same thing happened with MGS 2: Substance going to the Xbox. It's funny how this time, it's the other way around.

I still haven't bought Tales for the 360 in hopes of the PS3 European anouncement after the Eternal Sonata for the PS3 (now I have two).
I only got Infinite Undiscovery because MS owns the IP.
I'm still waiting for Star Ocean

I'm starting my own petition. And it's going to have beer, blackjack and hookers! In fact, forget the petition. Oh, and forget the beer and blackjack. In fact, just forget the whole thing.

''certain platforms should not be favoured over others'' i smell contradiction

I too have bought my 360 over this one game, but I don't care, I played the hell out Tales of Vesperia, and I will absolutly play it again with the bonus stuff. It's just that good to me.

This is why you should never, ever buy a fairly expensive console for just one game. The monetary sacrifice is just not worth it.

Especially, as you said yourself Jim, if money hungry Namco is behind it. Anyone who knows even a little of Scamco's business practices would've seen this coming. I you do intend to buy any console of this generation, do so only if there is a decent amount of games that will not only interest you, but justify the purchase of the console. Impulse buys, like in this case, usually are not worth it at all. Now you have consumers who spent a significant amount of money and now probably wished they didn't

I spent a ton of money on my PS3 (320 pounds) and got out of it God knows how much playtime. Sure my intention was to jump into the current generation with GTA4 as my first game, but I made damn sure there were plenty of other games that warranted a purchase of the console, thus ensuring the very large price tag of the PS3 was worth it. Same with the purchase of my DS lite recently, though that was much less in price.

Yes, it is a dick move by Scamco, and previous behaviour by them this generation (Shin Oni listed some examples) has highlighted just how penny pinching they are, but, in the end, it's the fault of the people who spent a lot of money on one game. This, of course is speculation, they may very well brought other games, but by the wording of the petition, it seems they have brought a 360 just for this game. Certain points seem to point this out.

Yes, I do feel empathy for them believing in a shitty company like Namco to only ever release the game for the 360, and the subsequent purchase of a fairly expensive console that probably left them out of cash. Especially since there is now a recession and money is tight in most counties, icluding Japan. I do feel a little sorry for them buying into Namco's BS, I really do. I am sure we gamers had at least one experience of buying into false promises by the gaming industry. But it's only their fault, not Namco's, they are a business, first and foremost. Getting as much money off of consumers is what companies do.

Writing such a nonsensical, immature, idiotic and downright stupid petition won't get them anything, or anywhere. This is just a way of letting themselves feel better for allowing themselves to be cheated out of whatever they felt entitled to. Instead of thining maybe they should make informed choices next time, or not believe a company's false promises, the choose to blame the company for their own mistakes, choosing not to think in a sensible manner.

I just find this situation saddening.

I want an apology as well.

I actually agree with these people. I absolutely hate ports with differences in them. The real fans will obviously buy the first version that comes out, and if you then load a whole lot of extras onto the other version... Well, that's just bullshit.
And this is coming from someone who's barely even heard of the game.

It just reminds me too much of the 16-bit era. When game ports had differences in them due to hardware limitations.
(Such as Earthworm Jim, where you had to choose between shit music or one missing level.)

release the dlc on xbla and they will stop bitching, as i see it this is proof that xbox is obsolete blu-ray holds way more and therefore they can make improvements on titles like this, also im getting over having exclusives on my console of choice if its a good game spread the love man and maybe one day i can play a mmo on my ps3 with my friends who only have xbox

The Tales games haven't been good since the SNES days.

I wonder if Muramasa is ever going to get a port, I'd love to see in HD some day, maybe give it customizable controls too.

Just a random brain fart, have no opinion specifically on this whatsoever except that Nerd Rage is cool.

There's still no point to the rage. That's what happens when you buy a console for one game.

Lol at third-party conse exclusives. That trend died (For the most part) at the beginning of this generation, so really all fanboys crying over games jumping to other consoles should just stfu. I mean, it has gotten to the point where companies consider a game " exclusive" when it isn't releasing on other consoles but is releasing on PC. This is fucking rediculous.

I generally don't give a shit when third part games decide to move their titles to another console.

I can see people being upset about this, if they were told that it was exclusive and then it jumped ship and is suddenly a lot longer with better this that etc. I would be upset too. Especially if they bought the 360 just for that game. Companies really need to speak to their consumers better and tell sony/microsoft that "we're going to say it's a timed exclusive alright?" But then again a lot of problems come up. Like people not buying it until the other version comes out... etc. But at least the consumers could make an informed decision.

Cry us a river xbox 360 weebols

TREY 4 LIFE!

Nobody should ever take the word "exclusive" seriously anymore. Unless the game is made by a first party developer, somebody's probably gonna want to make some extra money by porting it to other consoles.

Sucks for them, Japanese players are always getting screwed when it comes to 360. But at the same time, I don't see why people gain satisfaction from other's misfortune. In this case ps3 owners not getting able to play Tales would make these people happy.

@Infamy
I don't understand why you find comfort in that, as it relates to what I just said. However, good thing ps3 games aren't region locked(Fallout 3 being the understandable exception.) Hopefully I'll be playing this and FF13 this holiday season. I'm in like a 2% category though, sucks for people who don't understand Japanese and await the US releases.

Meh, its a business. They don't owe you shit. Get over it or quit gaming. I doubt they care which. Personally, I'd like to see all these jackasses keep on gaming/complaining cause it gives me something to laugh at. Also, online petitions are like bringing a nerf crossbow to a gun fight. Good luck with that.

@dwolfwood
Fallout 3 is region locked? I didn't know this. Why?
