I wish Sega was still in the console race instead of the Xbox 360

Do we really need another PC like medium in the form of a console? The Xbox isn't doing anything original. Sega's retired Dreamcast was producing great titles and original concepts when it was in its prime, where now the Xbox is taking the already established PC medium and trying to make a quick buck from console gamers. The result is the same PC games being ported to the Xbox with very little exclusives and unoriginal ideas. I think that is why its tanking in sales and popularity now. I will admit (although I dislike the Wii's outdated technology), the Wii is the only console out today that has taken a new original approach to gaming.

I'm not trying to bash anything. Just an opinion from a gamer's standpoint.

No.

Sega sucked.

yea so it can finish killing gaming.

sonic and phantasy star online will still be here if it wasnt for segas dumbass decisions.

and just so you finish throwing up.

i didnt mean that, i mean the console just didnt worked, sega just love to make consoles difficult to enjoy. jsut look at the controler:?

btw the 360 does anything the ps3 can do (exept for the bluray player), it even has custom soundtracks. and with the free warranty etc.

its not a crap console. its a crap desing

Urrm how do you figure that out, it was slightly less powerful than PS2, which is to be expected considering it came out a year or so earlier. It had internet straight out of the box, the controllers weren't the best, but there was nothing wrong with the system itself.

What was kind of an interesting idea, but never developed was the memory cards. You could play mini games on these that will later be uploaded to the corresponding game and unlock goodies for you. Not many games used it, but the idea was interesting. Also, let us never forget Shenmue FTW!!

did you ever tried to play online with that thing? thats why they decided to port PSO to the gc and xbox, the console had alot of failure, sometimes the cable jsut unplugged, and dam did i hate the controller. jsut my opinion.

still i like alot of its games, just prefer a different console

Nah the Sega Dreamcast was a beautiful console. Just look at it.

Best looking console for it's time in my honest opinion. If you ment crap as in hardware specs. I dunno, it certainly pushed out some games with great graphics like Shenmue.

first of all its my opinion, secondly. the controler was so bad i couldt stand it.

and yes some games were completly awsome, it would even been better if sega made those games for any other console.

I've played a lot of games online with the Dreamcast: Chu-Chu Rocket, Alien Front, PSO ver.1&2, Daytona USA, Outtrigger etc. and even with my 56k connection the experience was nearly perfect. For it's time, the online function was a marvel.

And they ported PSO, because of it's popularity, not because of it's online performance, that was night flawless.

its not a crap console. its a crap desing

Hardware wise it is a crap console due to its poor reliability, it's the worst console ever made on that point. It has great games tho as i said.

I wish it was just:

Sega vs Nintendo

The way it should have been ;)

Do we really need another PC like medium in the form of a console? The Xbox isn't doing anything original. Sega's retired Dreamcast was producing great titles and original concepts when it was in its prime, where now the Xbox is taking the already established PC medium and trying to make a quick buck from console gamers. The result is the same PC games being ported to the Xbox with very little exclusives and unoriginal ideas. I think that is why its tanking in sales and popularity now. I will admit (although I dislike the Wii's outdated technology), the Wii is the only console out today that has taken a new original approach to gaming.

I'm not trying to bash anything. Just an opinion from a gamer's standpoint.

I don't understand why Sega stayed in the game that long. Sega cd and sega 32x were all massive failures.Deihmos

The Mega-CD was a great add-on with a great libary selection.

There are people that hate Sony, yet they were successful twice.

Success doesn't mean he has to like Nintendo.

if 360 is like pc then so is ps3 :| xbox introduced hard drive in consoles, xbox live, 360 took xbox live 10 steps further, has qualtiy games + so many things, the wii has taken an approach where gaming will die and cheap games will be made for old people who will be dead the next day

I wouldn't mind a 4 console race actually.

on second thought, if EA joined we'd have a 5 console war..... damn that would be fun :D

And yet that doesn't make them less failures.Panzer_Zwei

wait, the Mega-CD is a success now? :lol:

In my dumb-dumb opinion, the 360 is my new DC. It even plays SHENMUE!!EmilioDigsIt

lol that made me chuckle a little.

I miss Powerstone, Project Justice, Marvel vs Capcom, Street Fighter, SNK vs Capcom, Sonic, Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, Skie of Arcadia, PSO, Grandia II,etc, well you get the piont.

The Dreamcast was a beast in the fighter area. I still play mine to this day. Great console. The x box controller looked just like a Dreamcast controller

VB was sa failure because it was actually a device that could do damage though. but yeah i know what you mean.

Nope, unless you can prove to me the ps2 was more powerful system ill believe you, but the dreamcast was still a powerful system than the ps2.

PS2 was more powerful. Dreamcast was a great system with an even better name, but it came out a little too near to PS2, so it couldnt capitalize.
