I think it's a good time for us to pay our respects to a fallen comrade.

>>275548489
It was a piece of shit.Because I never had one
>>275548646
Shhh, no jealously, it's respect time.
Proof that piracy can kill companies.
>>275548979
If that was true, then sony and nintendo wouldn't exist by now.
>>275548948
>jealously [sic]
Don't you watch The Simpsons? You mean envy.
>>275548489
It's still alive to me damnit.
>>275549459
I have actually never known there was a difference between the words. This day just keeps getting worse and worse
>>275548979
I wish
>>275548979
Absolute bollocks. It was killed by a lot of poor decisions by Sega prior to the Dreamcast.
>>275549418
If it wasn't so easy to pirate Dreamcast games, then maybe Sega would still be making consoles.
>>275548979
how exactly did piracy kill the Dreamcast?
SHUT THE HELL UP AND LET IT FADE FROM MEMORY ALREADY
Goodnight, Sweet Prince of Hidden Gems.
>>275549882
It happened.
If I buy a used Dreamcast, what games and accessories should I get for it?
>tfw used to play dreamcast at my best friend''s house in middle school every now and then
>>275548979
Sega was bleeding money by the time it came out. Every system between the dreamcast and the genesis was a horrible flop
Pretty weird for a dead console to still receive new games in the year 2014, isn't it?
>>275548979
You mean proof of how releasing the Sega Saturn can kill the console after it.
comfiest game
>>275550048
A VMU (which you'll need to save anyway), the headset and Seaman, the samba de amigo maraccas with the game, the fishing rod with Sega Bass Fishing and Soul Calibur (it works for both)
As for games it's pretty fucking obvious, your usuals are JSR, Daytona 2001, Shenmue, Crazy Taxi etc...
>>275550048
GD-EMU, a VMU and an arcade stick.
>mfw people think piracy killed the dreamcast
Shenmue best game
>>275550767
Why do you try so hard to fit in, anon?
It might have been a failure but you gotta give Sega props for going all out. It was all or nothing and they fucking went for it with weird shit like Shenmue, Seaman and that RPG about the death of the Dreamcast.
>>275550405
It was one of the factors. Another was EA not puttting anything out on it.
>>275550767
Stop trying so hard holy shit
>>275550767
since when is "comfy" a meme?
>>275550767
someone get this hot head outta here
God fucking damn anon, sitting here having some drinks and thinking of the dreamcast brought on some major nostalgia feels.
On another note, sega could of been on top of the world had they made a few better decisions. Could of been a 4 way console war to this day.
Is it just me or did the death of arcades contribute to the death of Sega? Feels like half their libraries were arcade ports at all times.
>>275551892
Probably, I feel empty knowing that both arcades and Sega will never make a big comeback.
>tfw found out my uncle used to own several arcades back in the 80s and 90s before selling them off
F
>>275551354
It might have been 3 way. if sega was still in then maybe Microsoft wouldn't have tried since they thought it would be too crowded.
>>275551892
It was a factor since Sega did thrive on arcades and still does in japan
>>275552259
True
>>275552234
man I haven't had a cupcake in like 3 years
>>275550767
Someone get this hothead outta here
>>275551354
I also am drinking and getting nostalgic which is why I felt the need to make the post. Shall we have a cheers moment for our beloved Dreamcast?
>>275548543
kek
the dreamcast was the last good console, prove me wrong
>>275553372
PS2 was pretty good m8
>>275553435
shovelware-the-console thanks sony marketter
>>275548979
Cd/ dvd burners still cost a fortune back then and you needed quality one and burn slow or else it was all in vain.
>>275553372
Wii.

Quite literally the only arguments against it are MUH GRAFICS and MUTURR GAEMS 4 MUTURR GAEMURS LIEK ME.
>>275553913
>gimmick: the console
>good
lol, noit was the best last gen console though. Got one right after the Wii U came out for cheap and it was totally worth it
>>275553720
It's actually one of the few consoles with such a volume of games where the good or at least decent outweighs the shite by a pretty respectable margin.
>>275553913
The Wii had some fucking stupendous games. Only just getting my teeth into the catalogue now like but there's a lot I've missed out on, and I've been having a great time catching up with it.
>>275554389
Give me some recommendations please, I haven't bought a Wii game since 2009
>>275553913
Wii was literally Casual: The Console
>EU Color scheme
fagit
>>275554514
Well if you're well versed in it you've probably already played what I'm going to recommend but I've been enjoying the fuck out of the Sin & Punishment sequel, the Mario Galaxy games, Xenoblade, No More Heroes, Skyward Sword (everyone says it's shit but I quite like it), Mad World, DKC and the Resi Chronicles games. Oh! And the Metroid Prime Trilogy.
>>275554693
Back to work happy american worker man! It's not like we can afford to give you holidays for shitposting!
>>275555024

why are euros so lazy?

Such a great game...

Too busy spending ten years to land a robot on a comet. That laziness just knows no bounds.

Best SMT spinoff
>>275555835
>>275556435
Really do love you cunts though. My murican husbando.
As a late adopter of a Dreamcast, I can tell you that even with every game being free there is still no reason to own this console. try /vr/
>>275553913
No good games on the Wii. No good games on the Gamecube either besides Resident Evil 4
>>275557697
You seem like a hard to please person.
>>275557697
Do you even like games?
>>275557697
There's tons of good games on the Wii if you have interest in games beyond the usual mainstream action you can get on any other platform.
>Dead Space: Extraction, Ghost Squad, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011, The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return and The House Of The Dead: Overkill for rail shooters alone
>Red Steel 2
>Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition
>Deadly Creatures
>GoldenEye 007
>MadWorld
>Super Smash Bros. Brawl
>Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
>Grand Slam Tennis best tennis game yet
>Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 best golfing game yet
>Rapala Pro Bass Fishing probably best fishing game yet
And the GC too has a solid exclusive library, including titles like Rogue Leader and F-Zero GX.
>>275558040
Just giving reality's opinion. It flopped for a reason.
>>275558405:(
>>275558457
Eww at least the DC had the courtesy to use an actual controller for most of its games.
![large[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/3HcWrUu.jpg "large[1].jpg")
>>275558907
How is the Wiimote not an actual controller? Granted the motion controls weren't very accurate in the beginning, but then again it was a pioneer mechanic and they later fixed it with the Motion Plus. And what other controller in video game history can you just clip shells onto to turn it into anything from a sword or tennis racket to a gun, racing wheel or fishing rod?

That's fucking stupid anon just stop
Lets name our 5 best Dreamcast games
because I need ideas
>>275560460
Cannon Spike, Hyyyydroooo Thunnndderrrrr, Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, Mahvel vs. Capcom 2, Sturmwind.Then again I'm mostly clueless about the DC.
G
>>275560460
Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Blue Stinger, Skies of Arcadia.What the fuck man, five is way too small a number.
>>275561757
Shenmue really? Let me guess that Sonic Adventure would have been in your top 10?
>>275562325
Yes actually. And Shenmue might still be a bit clunky but show me a more advanced example of a legit living breathing world than Shenmue. Not even the most up to date open world games can manage that level of life.
>>275562606
Play a Rockstar game. Not that a life-like open world makes a good game...
>>275563069
I'm actually a fan of their stuff including the HD era. Even GTA V doesn't match Shenmue for a simulated world.
So glad Sony put them in the grave
>>275564013
You're about as relevant as Sega, Alec.
>>275563069
Not even GTA can beat a game in open world realism where the weather changes according to real world meteorological records of the particular date, and all NPCs follow a daily routine including going to work and visiting shops and restaurants.
>>275564206
Cool I guess, too bad the gameplay is ass.
The Dreamcast is best for its arcade ports. Shooters, racing, and fighting games, a gamer must have to like at least one of those.
>>275560460
Shenmue
Rayman 2
Crazy Taxi
Tech Romancer
Mahvel Baybee
power stone will be forever missed
rest in pisss, pour out liqui for the falen homie
>there will never be a toy commander 2
>there will never be a alien front online 2
>there will never be a chu chu rocket 2 (mobiles don't count )
>>275560460
Phantasy Star Online, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Soul Calibur, Mobile Suit Gundam Federation vs Zeon, and Sonic Adventure 2 are the ones I play the most. I also have Seaman, but no mic. And I lost my A/V cables in the last move, so all I have is S-video.
>>275566449
>There will never be a sequal to ArmadaI will join you for the hunt.
worst original controller of any time.
Still a better console than____
>>275549882
u can burn any game on a cdr, just ened the sega cdi file
>>275550048
u burn any game you want m8. just need blank cds
>>275549882
There was no form of copy protection on the Dreamcast AT ALL. You could literally stick burned CDs and they would work. Kind of a rookie mistake, but if I recall right this was about the time when CDRs started becoming real popular.
