Get a DC now, then in 4 months. get a PS2. By then, PS2 will have great games and DC will still have many games coming out. Trust me.

Out of those fighting games you listed..the only ones I think that are worth my time is soul caliber and MvC2.  Second..you belive vitura fighter is the best fighter..but I prefer tekken..sorry

And for those rpg\'s..shenmue and skies are the only ones I\'m interested.

I dont see how me not owning a DC would make me any less of an rpg or fighting fan ^_^.

But I might take up your last statement..about getting a DC now..and in 4 months get a ps2..that might be the way to go ^_^

I won\'t participate in this thread, sorry. Let me tell you the reason, Lynx.

Listen your own opinions! Don\'t listen what others say. It\'s still eventually your decision. Well, people are lending towards DC here; buy it if you like. But PS2 is also a good console ( very good games coming to it ).

But you need help. I understand. deciding is always hard.

Search the answers. .Net is full of them.

I can\'t answer you. I don\'t know your taste

just go buy a dc and play games now, then itll give you a reason to wait till the release of all three next gen systems and choose which youd like to buy next, not only that, ps2\'s library should be larger by then.

but for now, dc has a pretty good library.


funny how you say the dc has nothing really that stand out to you, like ps2 has any games that stand out right now regarding fighting and rpgs eh?

Fighting and rpgs are my favorite type of games..but thats not ALL I play.  And I dont recall saying anything special about the ps2..only that its future games look promising

Anyways..jodya made a good point..its my choice..always has been always will be..the only reason why I even created this thread was to get feedback on other peoples view.  I shouldn\'t make choices from what people say though..I should make a choice because I feel like that will suit me the best..and if its a bad choice..I should face the consequences myself.  You truly are worthy of that yoda avatar jodya ::Bows:: ^_^.  I guess this is the end to my wonderfull thread

Somehow I think Lynx had no intention of getting a DC in the first place.  Why recommend DC games, only to give him the opportunity to refute your list saying: "I only like X amonut of games out of that entire list" or "Out of that entire list, only X amount of games intrest me."

This was a flamebait post from the start.  Only an attempt for him to convince himself, or protest to others, he isn\'t intrested in the system or its software.

It doesn\'t take convincing in order to get a Dreamcast.  Either you will get one or you won\'t.  Anyone who posts at a gaming fourm should be knowledgable enough to know if an established platform has adequate software .

Maybe the overall benevolence from the reponses in this thread means "selling" was a possbility, and that one could believe there are some DC good games.  Personally, I think it was a waste of time.

Yeah it was ..thats why this thread is going to die out soon *Sniff*  Its amazing that you thought this whole thread was nothing but flamebait.that was never my intention .  And your right..you either get one or you dont ^_^.  

I did have intentions of buying a DC..I think its wrong of you to think other wise..unless your psychic..are you?  Oh well..you shouldn\'t be so defensive..I\'m just an insecure person that was looking for a little guidence in choosing a system..thats all ^_^.

You\'re right about the flamebait lol.

No seriously, how can you have an interest in fighting games and not own a DC?  Its rediculous, just like this thread.

Its obvious that you are only interested in \'big name titles\', the type which scream buy me, ie Shenmue.

If you haven\'t seen ads for these games, you aren\'t going to be interested, because you\'re that type of \'gamer\'.

Its like trying to sell art to a blind man who enjoys the smell of peanuts, and then being surprised when he goes and buys some elephant crap instead of the Picassos.

Quite simply, you\'ve never played most of those games, so all you have to go by are reviews and recommendations, which most DC games have in spades.

But if you only like big name crap, the PS2 SHOULD be your console of choice.  I mean why have Virtua Fighter and Soul Calibur, when Tekken has twice the brand recognition!!?

I see nothing wrong in that, Lynx. Only that this thread hasn\'t helped you move out from the start, has it?

Don\'t be so sad ( or that\'s what you sound like.. really depressed ).

So I stick to my "opinion": base your decision upon your own opinions. Wich console feels better. It\'s about a system that personally entertains you, Lynx. Buy the one that entertains you the most.

Should I say: "Listen to your heart"?

Nah, it\'d be too romantic ( but you get the point )

Oh and don\'t get so sad about your thread dying. Many of my threads have died with only few replies. Think positive, at least you got this thread "hot".

I hope this helps

Hey now, TYPING OF THE DEAD is cool. Can\'t wait till Sega brings it over here! I read a rumour, that there will be a Typing of Virtua Fighter. I hope so, though I doubt it. The game won\'t over that well here, I gurantee.

Trickstyle? I got it at launch. Its a good game.


I can\'t believe you recommended...D2! Argh! My eyes burn! The snow..Snow..Bad voice acting and more..more..SNOW..arghhhhhhhh. haha:D

Umm Lynx, I gotta tell you buddy,

This is a PS2 board, most of the people in this thread are recommending you to get a DC, then later get a PS2. Doesn\'t that tell you something?
 


Trust me man!

And I respect your opinion about Tekken. But IMO Tekken is childs play, asi have outlined in an earlier post... Once you get into Virtua Fighter 3tb, you never get out.

I have been playing it non-stop for about 4 days now and the game is 4 years old!!!


Eric Jacob

I picked up VF3tb along with my Import DC on November 27th 1998 and I still play that bitch. It\'s too addictive. Soul Calibur ownz too!

I love VF3tb, and feel it is the best 3D fighter available.  Just opinion.  Second best is Tekken (fantastic style, character design); I couldn\'t get into Soul Calibur/DOA2.  Too fast.  I was playin\' VF3tb  this morning with Wolf.  Fake the kick to the head, they block, and then I do a catch grab followed by a nifty belly to belly suplex.  Ouch.  They roll back, and as they charge, I run and clothesline them - or catch \'em with a frankensteiner.  Follow it up with an elbow.   My favorite move: grabbin\' em with the Giant Swing and throwin them out of the arena (heh heh - especially launching Sarah onto the Subway tracks - or tossing Jeffry off of the beach into the ocean).

Lynx, or whoever started this: always try other games and genres.  ALWAYS.  I\'ve limited myself up until last year.  Panzer Saga/Vagrant Story made me love RPGs - which I previously avoided like the plague.  Marvel vs Capcom 2 made me enjoy 2D fighters.  Gunbird 2 and Cannon Spike gave me a taste of old school vert shooters, and I even hunted down a rare one on eBay (Strikers 2).  Looking forward to Metal Slug.  The list goes on and on.  Don\'t pass over a game because of the brand or unrecognizable title.  You don\'t know what you may be missing.  You just might like VF3tb, I think it\'s a huge improvement over VF2.  It\'s fun to sucker your opponent only to hit an impressive looking throw.  VF3tb isn\'t about speed or reaction time or combo memorization - it\'s about baiting your opponent.

I hated skateboarding games, until I rented Tony Hawk for N64 (based off of good reviews).  Result?  I\'m now a diehard Tony Hawk fan, and I would go so far to say that it is the best game on the DC.  My 2 year old son even amassed 1432 points in one combo.  I don\'t know how - I think it was a no comply followed by a grind.  Pretty impressive; he even does manuals .
