Dreamcast Games to avoid

[HEX1GON]

Roasters. What a disgusting game.

I don't think the PS2 has a better library. It has a bigger library, but that's only because it was for sale much longer. The DC has a handful of really great games, so that makes up for the limited library to me.

Also, this is quite a necrobump.

lets see the worst Dreamcast games i have ever played are ....

Spirit of speed 1937 < slow as and where is 2 player ????
Soul fighter < crap crap crap
Tomb raider the last revelation < very crap graphics obviously rushed port

People don't understand Virtua Striker, you have to play it like Dragons Lair. amazing game.

[Anthaemia.]

I have two words for you all: Ducati World *shudder*

I like the Dreamcast as a console, but what most people do not understand is that it failed also because most games were much inferior compared to their PlayStation counterparts, despite running on much more powerful hardware.
Take soccer games as an example.
The only decent one is UEFA Dream Soccer and it has a lot of very obvious flaws and bugs that can ruin its playability often. It is as if... the game was made in a very big rush and wasn't tested for more than a quarter of hour.
The other ones aren't even playable... I'm looking at you, Virtua Striker 2, where players are just plastic dolls and there's no gameplay to speak of.
I, too, think that Sonic Adventure, while graphically very beautiful, is a piece of crap gameplay-wise. Honestly I don't even know what they were thinking when they thought that players just didn't want to skip cutscenes.
Not only it does kill the (little!) replay value it would have had, but I have enough of fanfiction, and would gladly skip out the stupid talk between Sonic and Tails and head straight into the game. But no!
If you were wondering who invented games with great graphics but no gameplay, you need to look no further, it's SEGA.
The lackluster Dreamcast library was a big surprise to me when I got my Dreamcast some weeks ago, first because my experience with SEGA was with the solid Master System and Megadrive game libraries, and second due to the fact that the Dreamcast who knows why is hyped as the best thing since sliced bread on the internet.

Despite having inferior quality hardware, the PS1 and the PS2 have much better software libraries.

I suspect you have some strange form of dyslexia, and where you meant to say "Dreamcast", you said "PlayStation" and vice versa.

And seriously:

This is probably the single most retarded thing anyone has ever said on this board.

I think he's trying to say Sonic Adventure was among the prototypes for what people are complaining about this gen. Joining together the cutscene-gameplay ratio inspired by Ninja Gaiden NES, a Super Mario 64 inspired style of optional goals (which has evolved into achievements/trophies), and a limited degree of what we now called on-disc DLC (the modem unlockables)...

Dreamcast as we all know brought more fresh ideas to the games market than any other console. On that point alone it's a fantastic system. Still, it's number 3 in my eyes. Saturn at number 1 and Mega Drive / SFC at 2.

Anyway, to keep on topic, those P.O.D. Racer games were shit. In fact pretty much all wester made "car" games were shit on the Dreamcast. Come to think of it, probably the 2 Shutokou Battle games (Tokyo Highway Battle) Sega GT, MSR and Daytona where the only good DC racers.

Thank you, Yakumo. I think the DC is probably my 2nd favorite console, behind the Genesis. 3rd favorite would probably have to be N64.

DC is my 2nd as well, right behind the good ole' Saturn.

[GodofHardcore]

Hell be freezing over we agree on something, ALTHOUGH I don't own enough Saturn games to really say BEST SYSTEM EVAR
But just looking at it's line up....

[Yakumo]

The Saturn is the most under rated system EVER in the history of consoles.

[7Force]

Yes, the Saturn is one of my favorite consoles ever, and the most underrated system ever as well. On one hand it annoys me that idiots who don't know what they're talking about say the Saturn "sucks", but on the other hand, they won't be buying all the good games from under my nose or driving up the prices.

And seriously, don't know how I managed to miss this:

but argh, argh, argh, how can anyone write that?
