Dreamcast was so weak! Why do people still look back in awe?

Soul Caliber = The best fighting game ever IMO

I played with Maxi

Nostalga is the key word.Thats all it is. I owned one and it was good when it was the only system I had but the PS2 easily lapped it in quality games fast and now the only time it gets used is at my Mom's house when myreckless hypercousins come to visit.

Set grind Radio had the shortest levels . Shenmue was just some punk kid asking questions. Sonic Adventure lacked any substance. Sega Rally had 3 courses. VF2 > VF3 Sega Net was too costly and supported 1 isp on the planet! Daytona USA 2000 was alright. Crazy Taxi was a rental. 3rd party support was harder to find than wmds in Iraq. Crimson sea = yawn. RE:CV was alright. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I used that system mostly to play better fighting games and resident evil ports.

SoulCalibur 1. Way beyond its time. Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 well before the ps2 version and its better on dreamcast. Marvel vs. Capcom. NFL 2K and NBA 2K

It had something like 25 AAA/AAAA's in what, 2 years?

Weak? Give me a break. :/

People think they're cool if they praise crappy things. Probably why people pretend to like Big Rigs.dracula_16

Crappy things? Why don't you try looking at the Dreamcast's lineup of games in those short two years and see if it looks crappy.

Saturn > DreamcastCristallis

QFT, and nobody ever mentions Saturn

SEGA banked there whole company on the dream cast and we all know how that ended up

the only thing that competed was PS1/N64... lol.... of cousre games would get higher ratings, just like 360 on release was compaired to PS2, thats why PDZ got 9.0

If Dreamcast was so great it wouldn't have been killed off so early.

The Dreamcast was essentially killed off by Sony's PS2 but now that everyone hate Sony and the PS3 they wan't to show love to the Dreamcast. People..:roll:

The Dreamcast was an amazing system with limitless potential. But, it was also the victim of poor marketing.

And that poor marketing is what killed that great system.

No. And no.

It was poor marketing. Nothing else.

Well, compared to Sega Saturn, Dreamcast = God. AvIdGaMeR444

Dude, liking Big Rigs is a really obvious joke.

Anyway, to answer the question, I really liked the Dreamcast for its games. Soul Calibur, Skies of Arcadia, F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa, Sonic Adventure (you didn't like it, but I did), NFL 2k (One of the first sport sims I played and actually liked), Samba De Amigo, Segagaga, and others.

Cuz Dreamcast launched with Soul Caliber, Power Stone, NFL2K, and Sonic Adventure (good at the time).

On top of that, games like RE CV, Power Stone 2, Phantasy Star Online, Crazy Taxi, Grandia 2, Skies of Arcadia, Sega GT, Jet Grind Radio, Half Life, Quake 3, made it great.

plus it was easy to bootleg games for. Great system

Although the DC does get way overpraised, it is still and will always be at least more of a system than the Wii for example. soulsofblayck

Finally, somebody who agrees with me!! I could never figure out why people loved this console so much. It couldn't have been the games, there were what, 3, maybe 4 good ones?

That doesn't even make sense!
