Getting a Dreamcast = blasphomy?
« on: May 08, 2001, 03:40:52 PM »
I haven\'t purchased either a DC or PS2 and my PS1 is getting boring..  I\'m looking to get a DC and Ferrari Challenge to bide my time when PS2 drops in price and GT3 is here.

FWIW the DC does put out some respectable games.  The said game is very realistic and has been touted to be as close to driving a Ferrari as doing the actual thing.

I\'m getting it, but I hope I\'m not considered an outcast for going to DC for awhile... :D

youre choice, the ps2 price will drop at least 50$ at e3, do you really want to spent 150$ for a system that is dying, and a game? or wait 12 days? (mabye more considering gts isnt due out until mid june :( i wouldnt do it..... but if you are, there are many good games for dreamcast, but the purchase is not good in the long run... in my opinion;)

go for it. THe DC has plenty of great games, I would buy one but right now I\'m just too broke. I plan on buying one in the summer , once i start getting my cash flow going again, hopefully there will still be DC\'s available.

FYI, I also have  a PS2 , I love it and all but right now there just arent that many games that hold interest to me so its just collecting dust. That\'ll all change in teh summer and fall :D

DC is such a good system I imported one 6 months before it came over to US shores... Sadly, I got Godzilla with it! (horrible game) but other than that, get a damn DC!!! You\'d really have to be one really stupid peice of **** PS2 ****ing fanboy to not get one. But hey, it depends on how old you are. I don\'t blame you for your loyalte if you are under 14

It\'s \'blasphemy\' :)

Anyhow..

Getting a Dreamcast = a smart thing to do.

So what if the system is dying. It only means you\'ll be able to purchase great games @ great prices.

Actually, they plan not to lower the price of the PS2 at E3 by 50 bucks, but rather they will lower it by 100 bucks at (q3 is it) the next big expo, a couple o\' months later.

IE - Don\'t use the price drop as a factor.

I got a Dreamcast and a lot of 2d Fighters for really cheap. :)  There are not really any 2d fighters announced for the PS2 yet, and I couldn\'t pass up on that opportunity.  It was just so cheap! :)

Yeah, the DC might be dying.. but from my experience the average person never usually buys more than 20 games for any one particular system. If you can\'t find at least 20 games that are well worth their money then there is something seriously wrong with you. And at 100 dollars for the unit, I can\'t see why anyone isn\'t jumping on this deal.

Sega really did good this time.. to bad the company just couldn\'t hold out and support the product further. :(

I desperately want a DC.

I must get Soul Calibur, PSO, Shenmue and others! I think the only thing that matters when getting a console is its games.

Getting a Dreamcast = wise choice. Cheap (relatively), great games. Everyone should have one. Well... I don\'t either, blah.

I\'m in a hurry to get one too, but my financial situation stops me from doing so. Gotta get a job...

I could get a DC, but I see no need, I don\'t need to go backwards.  I kinda want a DC for PSO, but I\'m not going to get it because PS2 is making me quite happy :)  and there is just no need for another system right now.

I wish I never gave my sisters back their DC.  It\'s a great system with great games.

Besides, I STILL have MvsC out from the video store, so, I may as well use it, right?  :D

Definitely consider getting a DC, it was a great system... one of the best gaming lineups ever seen on a system. Catered to so many tastes, whilst still having a HUGE amount of intuitive and unique titles...

The system might be dying, but the games support isn\'t quite done yet, over the coming year sega are going to pump the last bit of life into the system with some KILLER titles, Sonic Adventure 2, Crazy Taxi 2, Shenmue 2, Jet set radio 2, it just goes on.

It\'s all about which games you\'d rather play.... is it those ones, plus the current library??? Or is it GT3, MGS2, and FFX..... VERY hard decision I know, but I\'ll always go in favour of my beloved PS2 :)

What I\'m saying is go by the types of games YOU want to play...
