@KangRoo I love the lil "(almost)" you had to throw in there. People are silly little guys on here. I'm just the silliest of them all.

Caring about the number of statuses you've posted is the second-saddest thing you could give a shit about on Blips.

@ARok OG Xbox DLC was pretty similar. All the Xbox Karaoke Revolution DLC is on-disc (which helped me in my soundtrack rips).

@couch I didn't want one anyway, thanks. Also capitalized words are for the first one in a sentence and proper nouns only.

@dotcomboom Dreamcast had some FINE-ass peripherals.

@ARok Very true! That said, Dreamcast Tony was at least in good hands with Treyarch. It's Edge of Reality that did the shit Tony ports.

I was a PS1 baby and a PS2 kid. I'm 100% biased, but I'll take the chunky pixels of the first Tony Hawk over the speedboat controller.

@dotcomboom Part of my issue is that a lot of the Dreamcast library is available on PS1, and you can use a much better controller.

@ARok GC multiplats tend to be the easiest to emulate. For me, NFL Street 2 runs at 80% speed in PCSX2, but full speed in Dolphin.

But if you like Sega's mid-90s arcade games (and I do, especially the racers)? You like 2D shooters? Yeah, Saturn's a good deal, yo.

Doom is the perfect example of how mistreated the Saturn was in the US. PS1 got mood lighting and a new soundtrack. Saturn was a slideshow.

@Vixen80 The Saturn is a respectable console. I do think its multiplats tended to eat shit next to the PlayStation, but I see the appeal.

@dotcomboom Ah, to be a lad with money in the 2000s, when you could buy old video games for $2 apiece. I've seen PS2s going for $100 now.

Folks like their underdogs, nothing bad about that! Is why I love the Atari 7800 despite nobody else liking them. But I also like its GAMES.

I feel like people like the Dreamcast less for what it is and more for what it represented: a prototype Xbox that lost to the big bad Sony.

As far as I'm concerned, you go to the PS2 for the early 2000s games and to the Wii for the aftermarket community.

@dotcomboom That's another thing that turns me off, major reliability issues these days, and I've heard that from a few places online now.

I'm not really into the Sonic games (Tails is cute though), Shenmue is pretentious, Seaman is a neat novelty. It's got Crazy Taxi, I guess?

Very few games make me feel like I NEED a Dreamcast, and that's really the bar for if I actually want to spend money on a console and setup.

@couch Hot take: Dreamcast is overrated. Not altogether, it's a neat system with some real definitive versions of PS1 games. But slightly.
