>"best" console
>died like a bitch

It's the best if you value arcade games over anything else.

Dreamcast was the worst console of its generation but the best Sega console since the Genesis.

>Shenmue
>Maken X
>Phantasy Star Online
>Seaman
>Berserk
>Skies of Arcadia
wow such arcade

Shenmue sucks and everything else of note is available on the PS2 and GameCube.

grug like the trendy hipster console grug unique

>clearly hasn't played a game of lucky hit

i just got one of these
any good shmups on it?

Radilgy and ikaruga are a nice start. I really like radilgy.

It was the best racing game, sports game and fighting game machine, but outside of that it sucked and it had no games.

>dreamcast
>trendy
>not the neogeo

dreamcast is literally THE console for shmups, the japanese are still making shmups for it

Playing through Blue Stinger again.

For a Sci-fi Dino Crisis/RE knockoff it's still pretty fun.

Swim controls are fucking trash tho.

>dreamcast is literally THE console for shmups

No, that would be the 360.

Sure, if you love mediocre exclusives.

Lucky Hit is 2, which was only in Japanese on the Dreamcast. Only half counts, in my opinion.

Wrong, got a release in English in Europe.

Shenmue 2 was ported to Xbox also.

This has to be a troll, right?

Quality over quantity.

360 is better if you like cave, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t play Gigawing1+2, Mars Matrix, Gunbird 2, Zerogunner2, and many other fantastic games on the DC.

>not just playing the yuro version with a GameShark or fast hands and no fucks

shenmue was probably the only JRPG that I've enjoyed and authentically felt like a game made in Japan as opposed to the fucking abomination girlboy long haired effeminate garbage found on the PS2

wish there were more shenmues, I guess yakuza is the best we're gonna get, but the story that shenmue had is probably the least cringe inducing in many jrpgs I've played

>shenmue
>JRPG

That's fucking generous. Half the game is interactive movie and the over half is fork lift racing.

>JRPG

Were we playing the same game?

I'm not sure how you construe a 3d fighting VN drawer opening sim a JRPG, but you're right.

>JRPG

>JRPG
>interactive movie
am I missing something? and sounds like you played the 2nd one.

>literally karate skyrim for fucking nips
>NOT A JRPG
FRICK OFF

...

jojos bizzare adventure

best fighting game incoming

It definitely is up there in terms of library size to good games ratio. I've personally never seen a dreamcast game that wasn't worth checking out.

>best console
>most of its best exclusives were ported to the competitors

Dreamcast was and still is great, but its library is the weakest of all 4 consoles from the same generation.

PS2 > XB > GCN > DC

You can't be serious? Most of the game is walking from one cutscene to the next. Literally walking, no other gameplay to speak of. There's a handful of beat 'em up sequences and the infamous forklift racing but the vast majority of the time spent playing the game is spent either watching a cutscene or walking to a cutscene. If it's not an interactive movie then, at best, it's a walking sim.

>VMU never became the standard

>.t never had a vmu
The battery on those little shits lasted 20 minutes playing Chao adventure.

>everything else of note is available on the PS2 and GameCube.

It's a shame really, imagine if the Dreamcast had survived a couple of years more, kept all of its 1st party exclusives and things like Super Monkey Ball, Shinobi, GunValkyrie, Virtua Fighter 4, Sega GT 2002, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, ToeJam & Earl 3 and others were released for it instead.

I'm pretty sure at least half of these games started the development on the Dreamcast.

Most were either directly commissioned by M$ after Sega was half dead or arcade ports from the Naomi board.

A big fuck you to these underage faggots.

>tfw you'll never live again in a comfy house with 2000' vibes playing dreamcast around your family

>play PSO
>hacker bricks my VMU via standard TCP/IP

i mean this is probably sonic team's fault more than anything but jesus christ i don't want to go back to the possibility of that even happening again

I want a hack that retains the original Japanese tank controls which they inexplicably removed for the USA release.

Played so much HotD2 with my dad on mine although at the rate those fucking guns gave out we could've played all we wanted at the arcade

Wait a minute

If that had actually been true it would have sold better. Instead in reality everyone was waiting for the PS2.

Not like there were many Dreamcast games to begin with.

quality > quantity

If it had actually gotten more than 2 years of support it would have sold better. The Dreamcast would have needed literally twice as many sales as the PS2 for it to be economically worthwhile for Sega to actually do that. Many of the would-be Dreamcast exclusives ended up getting ported to/developed for other consoles for precisely this reason.

Everyone was waiting for the PS2 because of the DVD player + the strength of the PS1. 1st year PS2 library was fucking terrible, it was only until the fall of 2001 when PS2 started getting (really) good games and by then the Dreamcast's lifecycle was pretty much over.

Best looking one for sure.

I think people wanted the PS2 because of the PlayStation. Sony was rising, Sega was already dead when the DC came out.

Outside of arcade games PS2 had the best games in every genre. When a console sells everyone wants to make games for it.

>Outside of arcade games PS2 had the best games in every genre.

What about FPS? RTS? CRPG? Stealth? Platformers? The PS2 was lacking or equal to it's competitors in pretty much every genre except for JRPG.

>Sega was already dead when the DC came out.
And this is why the Dreamcast didn't sell. Nobody wants to make games for a console who's company isn't even comitted to supporting it, and anything short of doubling the Dreamcast's sales wouldn't have changed this.

It's true people wanted the PS2 because of PlayStation, however the DVD player gave it a huge boost as well. It's not some coincidence that the best selling console of that gen was the only console with native DVD support. Also no coincidence that most games that were ported from (or originally developed for) the Dreamcast didn't end up on the PS2.

>fork lift racing

This is the main thing I remember about shenmue. I think my game was glitched because I literally could not progress past those 3 days of fork lift. I can't remember what was wrong specifically, I just remember not being able to get any farther in the story.

>19 years
holy shit, I still remember the good times, playing bomberman online with 3 friends was fucking great

n64 and dreamcast are surely the most comfy consoles

best game

>it had all of these great games, except the part where it sucked because it didn't have no games

Such an astute observation. Next you'll tell me the N64 was shit because it didn't have RPGs and fighting games?

>I think people wanted the PS2 because of the PlayStation.
You think wrong. The DVD player was the prime selling point, almost nobody had players at the time and the PS2 sold for around the same price as most that were already on the market.

Fuck, what was this one called again? it's a capcom fighter right?

There's some.

...

>Playing Soul Calibur 2 & Sonic Adventure 2

Project Justice

...

"N64 was shit" is pretty self-evident on its own. You don't really need to qualify that statement with anything at all.

Yeah they were half grim half dreamlike. Also some sounds in the games were also very compressed or a mix of lo-fi and hi-fi. So goddamn human.

Soul calibur 2 on dreamcast? Hmmm.

>The DVD player was the prime selling point, almost nobody had players at the time and the PS2 sold for around the same price as most that were already on the market.

This myth is never going to end, is it? No, the PS2 was not the same price as most DVD players on the market, it was around twice the price of your average DVD player. DVD sales did not shoot up with the release of the PS2, they shot up with the massive decline of the price of standalone players which dropped to less than a third of the price of the PS2 within a year or so of it's release. If you were prepared to get a really cheap DVD player then you'd be forking out around a sixth of the price of the PS2. I wouldn't say the PS2 was irrelevant to the DVD market but it was far from a major factor in it.

"The Dreamcast didn't fail, we failed the Dreamcast"

N64 was shit.

Whenever I would ho to a certain friends house, we would always play that shit along with Vigilante 8.
