1st party quantity AND quality titles
SEGA >> ALL together...
Seems you dont know what SEGA was for arcades in 90s plus successful console titles. SEGA revolutionized many genres and came up with some of the most successful arcade hits ever made.
As someone who has been gaming since the near begining....no just no. I thought that the virtual console would tell people how "great" these SEGA games really were. Though I do agree that their arcade games were nothing to sneeze about.
Yes, by a wide margin. Almost all of Sega's games were awesome before they went third party. You could pick up any game with the Sega logo on it on in my opinion 99% of the time it was an enjoyable game. Sony is just...boring outside of a few specific games. They do come up with plenty of interesting ideas for games, but a lot of times they just end up being boring. The ideas are there but the teams making the games seem to struggle with the quality. Microsoft is the opposite, they do make some good quality games for what they are but the game themselves....generic racer X, generic shooter X. Not very exciting. Sega had good ideas and excellent quality. It's too bad they went downhill since they went third party :(-Xeno-
SEGA to me went downhill once the Dreamcast hit. I mean essentially the Dreamcast SEGA on a console face was nothing more then Smilebit and Shenmue, outside of that it was just arcade titles or games that were praised to be good but just weren't. Just look at when the Sonic Adventure games, Space Channel games, and their other games were ported and enhanced ported to other platforms.They got and some still get treated like God but once they get released on other platforms people don't care and they usually get meh reviews both by critics and fans.
Obviously this was due to SEGA losing many of their key developers after the Saturn shot down. Lots of key developers both SEGA dealed and regular third party publishers left SEGA after they literally did a repeat of what they did in the US. Basically they didn't tell developers about the Dreamcast in a decent time interval. There are many more things that happened during that time but I want to keep this post short.
Anyway while I've always liked SEGA's "****" persay their consoles were always missing something. Yes the Mega-Drive had the "adult" theme to it and fun games. Though its lack in power was very disturbing and let's face it what games did it have as "epic" and "spit polished" as say Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country, Secret of Mana, Super Mario World, and the likes. All I can think of is MUSHA Aleste, Gunstar Heroes, Snatcher, Sonic III and well that's it. The Saturn while it was "the last traditional console" really wasn't worthy of being its finally. The majority of the games were arcadic and overall again the lack of huge epics. The Nintendo 64 had Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooie, and Goldeneye for example, the Playstation had Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, and Symphony of the Night as well as an example. The Saturn had Guardian Heroes, Radiant Silvergun, and Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner II, and that was all that impressed me. That was the Saturn's biggest flaw there were very few games that had my jaw dropped as well as games that really pushed 2D. It definately wasn't a bad console it was pretty good, but I see it much like how Nintendo fans treat the Nintendo 64, overall it definately had its moments but is nowhere as good as people make it out to be. Not to mention that many of the games share "SEGA syndrome".
Saturn had some big hits too, they just didn't make it to the west, or at least on Saturn. Grandia was originally for the saturn.
