I've investigated each claim from both sides of the idea and I've reached a conclusion that made the most sense. So let's start with the suspects...Sega's debt & past failures -This one is the most common, but it falls flat on the surface since Saturn did do better than the Dreamcast, just not in North America. On the flip side of that coin, Dreamcast did better than the Saturn in North America. If past failures like the 32X had any affect, then neither of these consoles would sale the amount of units as it did. Had Sega stayed in the race for both Saturn and Dreamcast, we'd at least see 20 to 30 million units sold each in it's lifespan. Remember the Virtual Boy was a failure too but it didn't hurt Nintendo at all, but they still underperformed against Sony with the N64 and Gamecube. Sega did the financially wise decision and pulled out when the console wasn't performing to expectations. Were they in debt? Sure, but they got out of it eventually.PS2 hype - The PS2 was barely out when the Dreamcast was dying. To blame it on hype of the PS2 is like blaming Nsync for killing the Backstreet Boys momentum by stealing their idea, despite the fact that the Backstreet Boys are still together selling records to this day while Nsync is Xstinct now.Piracy - This one is the big one and the most controversial one that ends up in heated debates. The Mil-CD exploit and CD-R's accessibility were huge factors leading to Dreamcast exiting the console race. Attachment rates were more or less an excuse to deflect blame off of piracy. But if attachment rates were a metric, then it should be higher than a 6:1 or 7:1 attachment rate. That narrative falls flat when sales for games started flatlining once piracy became available. However if "attachment rates" were a factor, only the most loyal of Dreamcast owners bought the games officially. Every cheapskate pirate owned a PC or at least knew a friend who had a CD burner.Piracy Killed The Dreamcast (continued in next reply)
>>12799346The morons sold their soul to the yakuza, because nintendo and konami were part of the big kobe family too.
>>12799082The saturn was a great 2d machine, but a terrible 3d machine that needed gimmicks to work.Didnt help that sega us was led by a Microsoft mole and japan was as mentally ill as nintendo under yamauchi too.Sony under retard mad ken did nothing, their enemies were sabotaging each other.
>>12800483Sony is also to blame on this in part because guess who had the monopoly on dvd production... Nintendo had to go with mini dvds to work with and evade sony's royalties, and Microsoft had to wait.
>>12800805>DVDs were under the Sony monopolyMini dvds were still under the DVD6c license which was part of a consortium that payed out to Sony/JVC/Time Warner etc and were definitionally not part of a Sony monopoly. >They used Minidvds to circumvent thatNo they went with proprietary 8” DVDs to thwart piracy just like how sega went with the GDR for its “6th” gen console. Licensing the dvd format would have cost them less than still licensing the format while needing to manufacture your own new disk format
>>12798596Not enough compelling exclusive games? Looking through the Dreamcast catalog, a few genres are just oversaturated with multiplats and the few games unique to the console are just weird as fuck, so the normalfag masses wouldn't buy it for that.
Assets:> massive character roster> playable bosses and secret legacy characters> new mechanics like Aggressor Meter and BrutalityFlaws:> painful loading times> severe balancing issues> bugs and glitches> cheap AI difficulty> can't do anything with Shang Tsung whether it's playing as him, fighting against him or morphing into all charactersotherwise it was pretty much arcade perfect
>>12798695It's because the air is thinner the higher you go
>>12799410wouldn't Sheeva have a really high voice then? this could imply that there's no air in the MK universe
>severe balancing issuesThat's just classic MK.
>>12797857yes he doesnt even have his gun move. i have no idea what they were thinking with that character. but these are the same people that thought kabal was fine
>>12782843My favorite version of these games is a romhack of ultimate mk3 for the snes. Makes all the cheat menus appear and has a selection button for sheeva shao khan etc. Idr if goro and the others are playable but sheeva and khan will appear in place of some one else. Pretty fun. I know the arcade version is considered the best but I like this rom hack edition.

How do you feel about Brave Fencer Musashi? I played chapter one last night. It's a little janky, but undeniably charming. I think my biggest issue is that it's hit collision feels off.
The first and final chapters are great, peak game design.Everything in between is a bore.
>>12800231It's really soulful and probably the best zelda-like.
>>12800231I disliked the set-pieces/gimmick segments, and the copy-combat never feels quite right, a shame really
The last 30 minutes of the game I found to be really hard compared to the rest. The tower of doom fucking sucks to fight
I like it.
>>12800515theres a lot to like
its the best nes final fantasy
just play FFL
>Famicom Detective Club Part 1>Touhouken Bunroku (The Travels of Marco Polo)>Square's Tom SawyerAre there any others you'd like to see?
>>12800083>muh ADV muh sawundo!
>>12800083>Just play them in JapaneseI already did, which is how I'm talking about them
>>12800149Why do you call western made games as adventure games but refuse to call Japanese made games as adventure games? Kill yourself you fucking weeb.>>12800170Clearly you didn't since you're begging for translations.
>>12800812>fell for the shitty baitsuck my ting ting
>>12800840Suck it yourself you flexible faggot
>Game clearly takes place in a recovering post apocalypse >Right down to the pointless future tech, wide expanses of nothing, tons of outlaw biker gangs and gladiatorial games>Tim Schafer retardedly claims it doesn'tI hate (and love) Tim Schafer like you wouldn't believehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uny-UwwtD3c
What did Tim say the setting was if not what you described?
>>12797687>a recovering post apocalypseThey usually don't have big companies with shareholders meetings in post-apocalyptic settings. And demolition derbies already exist.
>>12797863>They usually don't have big companies with shareholders meetings in post-apocalyptic settings.https://youtu.be/iPATJ1doJm8Reminder this movie even predates The Running Man
>>12799485Does it take place after a nuclear war or some other apocalyptic event though?
Tim Schafer honestly seems like a massive faggot who just happened to be in the right place at the right time that can't hack it in modern day without just making remakes of his former work
What really killed the Saturn? No great exclusive wrestling games. Wrestling was at its most culturally relevant then and Sega failed to capitalize on it. Case closed.
>>12799495Based and truthpilled
>>12799495shawn was a bigger draw than bret. all ppvs headlined by shawn drew more than when it was bret.
>>12800004>shawn was a bigger draw than bretHe was such a huge draw that Vince had to beg Bret to come back for a huge salary while Shawn was champion.
>>12800604which vince then later regretted and went back to bret saying he can't honor the original deal
>>12794856the raped dude? damn, talk about dimeless.
Ever? I don't really recall any.
Alien 3Alien TrilogyAlien Ressurection007 - The World is Not Enough (N64)Batman Returns (NES, SNES, S-CD, SMS/GG)Jurassic Park (SMS, NES)If we count extended universes rather than directly based on the movie, Terminator Future Shock / Skynet and a plethora of Star Wars games, 007-Nightfire (NGC & PC & GBA)
cars
>>12795856If we’re talking pre-sixth gen, I’d say Batman Returns (SNES) is the best of them.
anyone else had their save files deleted after getting through the ghost mansion,reverting back to the rail-head battle?what happened to the dev's who made the shining series after the 3rd game they seemed to have completely vanished?this battle is literally impossible by the way
Now bear my arctic blast
>>12792749maybe we'll see something in the next upcoming direct on the 9th
>>12799245Scenarios 2 and 3 have different teams so go ahead and promote at lvl 10.Also I'm on Scenario 2 right now and missing Cybel. Waltz is p cool though.>>12800035I would literally cry but there's no hope left in me anymore. Sega has hurt me too many times.

>>12794887>>12796460On the contrary, he's full of shit. 10 months alone and still alive in that situation was not very believable.

Is this good? It's strangely Blaster Master-shaped, and I love Blaster Master.
I would have never guessed that somehow this board would have shittier opinions than regular /v/.
>>12796806I enjoyed back as a kid, and used played it a lot. It has a really funky boss theme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoDISP18DrU
>>12799685What opinions were you expecting, that the game was AAAASSSS, or that it was the best game ever made? Neither is true, it's a decent but flawed little gem that's worth any NES lover's time to try out.
>>12797387I’m older than your faggot dad.
