It had a Berzerk Manga hack and slash game.

This

A bunch of Sega fans who can't go on.

I mean, I know how I would feel when the PlayStation dies...

power stone
jet set radio
shenmue
nostalgia
the death of sega as a console maker
rose tinted goggles
etc

Because it was a good, powerful machine that had pretty much ALL the good games in one place instead of them being spread out over all the consoles.

I loved my fucking Dreamcast. I'd have sex with it.

Because for it's time it was one of the greatest consoles at all points. Killed by the bad marketing.

Because Sonic is super kool

It had far better anti-aliasing than the PS2 and it was easier to develop for.

As a result most games for it came out looking WAY better than most games on the PS2.

It had a great library of games, and was the first time in a long time that things were looking up for Sega in the U.S., but a list of factors caused its downfall, crippling Sega in the process.

you could play burned games easily without modding
so therefore, dreamcast is the best system ever.

>As a result most games for it came out looking WAY better than most games on the PS2...
... at the time.

The Dreamcast was antiquated even compared to the PS2, shit would've been sorely embarassed if it hadn't folded so soon into its life.

>>31762423
Soul Calibur
Skies of Arcadia
Sakura Taisen

Hardware-wise it was awesomeface.jpg for the reasons

>>31762503
>>31762531

mentioned, however the game library is really nothing special anymore considering all of the good games have been ported.

becasue of the shenmue

>>31762503
Uh, can you explain... just a weeee little bit?

ooga booga.

I would go so far as to say that it was ahead of its time. A stable online system, internet browser, graphics that were ahead of its time, an amazing cast of games...

Its marketing strategy was horrible, though, not to mention its timing in the console race.

>>31762503
I loled when first inserted Grandia 2 port into my PS2 and saw that it looked inferior to the Dreamcast original.

>Why do people mourn the Dreamcast so much?
>I never got my hands on a Dreamcast

Nostalgia requires that you were there in the first place.

>>31762693
Lack of marketing hurt it bad, not to mention Sega pretty much rolled over and fucking died when PS2 came out. It was like they said "fuck it, PS2 is going to win no matter what we do, no point in even trying."

THAT OR SONY PAID THEM OMG TINFOIL CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Dreamcast had some pretty obscure titles that were far advanced for their time to most people. The 4 controller ports encouraged multiplayer in the DC's library and there were a lot of great games to play with friends. Also, Capcom made a ton of really killer titles for this system, and although they've been ported, the controls will always seem better on the first system you played them on. Also, it was easy as shit to pirate with a boot disc.

These are a few of the reasons I mourn for DC.

>>31762750
The fact that people were possibly still skeptical after the serious failures Sega had definitely didn't help matters, either. (Although I'll still contest that the Saturn was a solid, if overlooked system... but it was damn hard to program for.)

>>31762693
You're not going far as to say all that. Frankly all of that is fact. Not to mention supporting mouse and keyboard for games like Q3A, Unreal Tournament and PSO.

Playing top quality console and PC titles with a console that could browse the internet. How are those that had one not supposed to continue loving it?

dreamcast is probably the most overrated system ever

70 million dollars

>>31762921
you're thinking of the wii.

>>31762921
Dreamcast and PS2 are. Maybe SNES.

>>31762921

DC was awesome and deserved to live a longer life.

I think the ps2 is way over rated, if you look at its 10 best games, I would take the GC's 10 best games, any day.

So from what I see here the Dreamcast made the standard of what a console should be, much like SNES did with the controller. It seems that all that killed it was... bad marketing? Really?

What the hell? After making the perfect machine and noticing this is all that was killing you, I'd think about getting back into the game and actually fixing such a simple flaw!

Too bad all that SEGA seems to make nowdays is a thousand attempts at Sonic games with terrible success...

I love the dreamcast, but I'm not beyond its faults:

Seriously, the controller. Who puts the goddamn cord in the middle? Awkward.

Great games, but...most of them were arcade ports. Arcades were still relevant at the time, so most people felt they have played them before. And other games were ports from different systems.

Poorly utilized online, but since it was first, we can let that one slide.

Not as much support as other companies had.

Etc.

>>31763138
You'd be taking doubles because Game Cube doesn't have 10 good games. I swear to God, I'd be surprised if it had 50 games total.

>>31763251
>Poorly utilized online, but since it was first, we can let that one slide.

Also try to remember what kind of internets was common back in the day...

Oh God, I can hear it. I can hear the God damn modem, SCREECHING! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Phantasy Star Online back when it was free.

Back before 2D fighters were viewed as antiquated or retro.

Only afew titles ever got ported some were remakes while others were half-hearted ports years after everyone forgot.

The thing that fills me with rage is how those ports were scoughed at. Apparently they were to good for the what sega had.

>Phantasy Star Online back when it was free.

I'm crying now...version2 ruined everything.

>>31763271

Zelda WW
RE4
Tales of Symphonia
MGS TT
Fire Emblem
Pikmin 2
Eternal Darkness
REmake
MP 1
MP 2

It was harding getting it down to ten.

because the PS2 had GTAIII and a DVD player and the dreamcast didnt

>>31763534
I delete your MGS and RE Remakes (as they credit little to this console) and replace them with Pokeman Colonseeums.

Also: MP?

>>31763670

Metroid Prime

>>31763720
Fuck yes, double points!

>>31763138

thats because your a faggot

>>31763160

It failed because it was to Japanese no one wants to fuck around buying those little screen things and then carry them everywhere with them like japs do

>>31763760
>It failed because it was to Japanese no one wants to fuck around buying those little screen things and then carry them everywhere with them like japs do

Wah?

>>31762950
This is the second most expensive game in history.

6 months ago, it was the most expensive.

let that sink in.

>>31763807

those things which slot into the controller, some games needed them like that sonic card game

>>31763760

Im sorry bud, your follow up statement proves you are one dumb cunt.

>>31763847

VMU, you really have no clue, now fuck off.

>>31763847
And why would you carry your memory card around...?
Or whatever it was.

>>31763895
>>31763895

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast_accessories#Visual_Memory_Unit

So please tell me why no other console tired this? you know why? because its fucking retarded and only japs and weeaboos like the idea

GC was the best system last gen for original games.

>>31763988

you could play games on it and pocket monsters etc

well thats what they hoped for

>>31764004
I'm pretty sure the Gamecube had something like it, possibly the PS2. But I know the Gamecube did.

>>31764004
Uh... the PSone had those, too. And it was a neat idea.

>>31763809
The Atari ET game cost 50 million and Too Human cost 80 million.

Considering that, Shenmue's budget ain't that bad.

What was awesome with the Dreamcast is the variety in multiplayer game.

It was "multiplayer" in the "arcade" sense, not in the "casual" one. It had a shitton of 2D fighting games, quite a few 3D ones, and 4-players GOOD games. Nowadays, if you want a 4-player game on console, it's either with retarded party games or generic fps/sports game.

The dreamcast was a magic console, but it failed because people are dumb and wouldn't give Sega a second chance after the Saturn.
Also Sakura Wars 3 coming out too late.
And, well, bad marketing, but that's a given.

>>31764004
Pocketstation

>>31764098
>>31764075

but not as a standard and not necessary like this was

>>31764004
Well it seems technology wasn't up for it at the time, but with things like Lithium-ion and such, this sounds like a pretty bitching accessory.

I'll risk sounding like a weaboo then and say: I wish this was perfected with what we have today.

>>31764148
Well Sega released a 4x memory card without the screen and they were planning an upgradeable hard-drive and DVD drive.

>>31764226

Why?

>>31763594
THE DREAMCAST WOULD'VE HAD GRAND THEFT AUTO 3 IF IT LIVED ANOTHER 3 MONTHS!!!!!

>>31764004

Then just use it as a memory card then, no one is making you carry it around or play games on it.Its just something extra there for those who want it, faggot.

It was good on games like RE CV how it displayed your health etc.

>>31764282

like i said you needed it for games so if you wanted to buy another controller you had to go buy another one of these etc etc

>>31764275

it would of been canned when they realised it would need 7 cd's

>>31763809
Taking Inflation into account? Because I know RE5 dropped 200M at least.

I know of no games that *required* the VMU games to be played.

I played the Skies of Arcadia one for secret weapons and tons of loot, plus the thing ate the battery alive so it wasn't really worth it.

Then I got a 4x for my free PSO.

>>31764364

RE5 didn't cost 200 million dumbass Too human is the most expensive game

>>31764364
haha

if Capcom could waste 200M without going out and sega only died because of 70M then sega fails hard

>>31764390

that sonic card game needed it for multi player other wise it was shit

>>31764354
That... is absolutely wrong.

GTA3 was released on a single CD on the PC.
