Heh... Was Sega ever good?

Let me put it this way, kid... Ever hear of a little guy named "Sonic?"

Sonic sucks and has more "fans" that jerk off to his feet than actually play the dogshit games. Sonic ******* sucks. The whole concept is stupid. Oh yeah side scrolling platformer where you're incentivized to go too fast to tell what's coming next so you have to memorize levels through trial and error or get knocked back 6 million times. No wonder it's so popular with autistics and other freaks. It fosters the same sort of mentality as speed runners (sped runners I call em!) and we all know how those "people" are. **** you Sonic. **** you.

Sonic had games that weren't just "go fast on a 2D plane". There was 3D blast which was isometric and was a slower pace game. There was also another slower paced 3D game (before Adventure) that I remember playing.

The only good Sonic game is Sonic 3D Blast. It's an isometric 3D action game where you only run on a track like 7 times, once per emerald.

Beat me to it.

The original 2d ones are about momentum, not speed.
If you just hold down a direction the entire time, you're doing it wrong lol. That's why the zoomers struggle when they smash into things and die.

My friend had a Dreamcast in high school, but I think I only played it a couple times. I think the multiplayer party games were fun, Chu Chu Rocket or Monkey Ball and such. Easily more fun than the N64 (Smash Bros mostly) it replaced. But once Halo came out and my friends could get together 3-4 Xboxes in a networked house, that took over all party gaming and we all forgot about Dreamcast.

Sega Genesis had some fun games like Vectorman, Aladdin, and Sonic & Knuckles but it was so oversaturated with crappy sports games.

8 bit was good on Nintendo, but you are right, SNES was pretty weak on a lot of things. They had the "occasional" good title, but most of them were bleh. Genesis had the cool RPGs, action games, etc.. They seemed to release blockbuster title after title regardless of genre (Road Rash for instance was huge at the time) and even if SNES made the same title, it just didn't come out as well as it was on Genesis.

I agree though, the complication of accessory addons for Sega did more harm than good. Perfect example of a violation of the KISS principal.

Also, I never knew anyone who called the PS1 the "PSX." We either said PS1 or just PlayStation. The idea that most people in the late '90s called it PSX just because a few old magazine scans used the term seems pretty baseless and ridiculous to me.

>@rusty_shackleford proceeds to provide an old magazine scan of said term just like the OP said

Good man.

Was the original Xbox secretly meant to be Sega’s true Dreamcast successor? There are multiple clues that strongly support this hypothesis, including:

1. The Windows CE component found in the Dreamcast (though few devs actually utilized it).


2. Initial discussions between Sega, 3dfx, and Microsoft about a potential collaboration to create a new system that could rival big N and Sony.


3. The Xbox's heavy focus on high-quality arcade style experiences, like Panzer Dragoon Orta, GunValkyrie, Crazy Taxi 3, and others.



Do you think the original Xbox, in a way, carried the spiritual essence of past Sega systems?
