Used to not cross my mind much but looking back there are so many games on this system I’ve played that I’ve absolutely loved.
What’s your take on the console and its games?
>>
Certainly — what would you like to know?
>>
>>12092248
It sucks.
>>
It's like a discount PS1

But a discount PS1 (the GOAT console) is still a great console

On the exclusive library,some are extremely overated (Guardian heroes,Panzer dragoon saga,Sakura...) and some are underated (Nights, Taromaru...)
>>
actually remember no one really playin it back then other than road rash and outrun it didnt have anything so everyone played pc at the time or ps1

only rich kids had it and even they never played it
>>
>>12092313
Cool story bro but Outrun was only ever released in Japan, try harder with your b8 next time
>>

>What’s your take on the console and its games?

My take is only 8 retards ever played this shitty system because its library SUCKED

2. The Sega Saturn is relegated to the guest bedroom

Got mine back in '96, always loved it.
Still have it and play it regularly.

If "discount" means better 2D, sure

Yes, that is exactly what "discount" means
>>
>>12092793
I speak in terms of game library not specs
>>
Was PS1's 3D really that much better? It still has the incorrect perspective and fluttering textures.

i got one when they were being liquidated. i want to say from sears but im not sure. dont remember the price either, but it came with nights, the 3 pack with virtua cop, virtua fighter, daytona, and a sampler disc. i eventually got mr. bones, road rash, alien trilogy, and bug! i played way more playstation than saturn but it was still a good pickup for the price. i never played panzer dragoon or most of the "hidden gems"

I thought Panzer Dragoon Saga was overrated for years but then I actually played it and beat it and now I think it's underrated.
>>
Off the top of my head, these are all games that really are some of the best
>NiGHTs
>Burning Rangers
>Radiant Silvergun
>Guardian Heroes
>Silhouette Mirage
>Panzer Dragoon (trilogy)
>Gungriffon 1&2
>Dark Savior
And games like Mega Man 8 that have their best versions on the console
>>
>>12094284
Why buy furniture when I can buy more games instead?
>>
>>12092248
It's a pretty good console, I like it. Overall I would say it's pretty based and redpilled.
>>
>>12092263
>discount PS1
3DO fits this description better

>>12092248
I like it a lot, but I also didn't grow up with it and my experience with the console is limited to playing JP-only games on an emulator

Something about booting up Virtua Cop and firing away with the Stunner that no other console can capture. That beautiful blue sky, the sick tunes that feel distinctly cop and distinctly sega, the bosses with the little dialog quips, and the heavy duty challenge of the last half of stage 2 and 3.

I also love the 3d models. They're super cool and clean looking and move around in this really fun way. And I love seeing that flashing "JUSTICE SHOT."
>>
>>12095384
On the Saturn it was. Otherwise, link me to an eBay sale of a Euro or US version. Go ahead.

BURNING RANGERS, TO THE BRAND NEW SKY WE DIVE
BURNING RANGERS, WINGS WE HAVE OF SHINING LIGHT
BURNING RANGERS, AQUA MARINE COLOURED SKIES
FLY HIGH! WITH GRACE AND PRIDE
BURNING RANGERS, WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT RIGHT
BURNING RANGERS, TREAT THE PEOPLE WITH OUR ADVICE
BURNING RANGERS, RUNNING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT
JUST DO IT, JUST BURNING RANGERS

the 21st century needs 1990s Sega back. We need it so bad.

>>12092263
It's not a discount PS1 when the system was $100 more expensive and the games were a minimum $10 more expensive because of the giant jewel cases
>>
The three Panzer Dragoon games are worth owning the system. Same reason my Xbox is for Orta and Breakdown.
>>
>>12094532
>>NiGHTs
Yes 11/10
>>Burning Rangers
Yes
>>Radiant Silvergun
Haven't played
>>Guardian Heroes
Yes
>>Silhouette Mirage
Haven't played
>>Panzer Dragoon (trilogy)
Absolutely
>>Gungriffon 1&2
Yes would add the Gundam series with it
>>Dark Savior
NO. WHY DOES THIS KEEP BEING SUGGESTED. ITS MEDIOCRE.

I would add:
>Saturn Bomberman
>Astal
>Dragonforce
>Shining Force 3
>Bulk Slash
Lots of other great games(especially 2d fighters) that came out but nowadays you can just play the superior Arcade originals.
>>
>>12096258
Astral is mediocre as fuck too and Burning Rangers is straight up dogshit
>>
>>12092248
baku baku animal is the greatest game ever made. overall, pretty good console
>>
>>12096362
nta I liked em
>>
>>12096531
I'm not even mad. I'm glad for you. I think I'd like Burning Rangers more if there weren't so many QTEs and if the first level weren't such a complete mess.
>>
I only ever played VF2 and Fighters Megamix back then. They were okay, but I hyped the console in my mind because I was really into Mortal Kombat back then and believed it had the best ports of II, UMK3, and Trilogy. Now I learned they were shitty ports and no longer care. I grew up on snes and ps1 so I never owned a Saturn.

As a platformer yeah it's just okay but it does everything else right. Cool bosses, great music, and is absolutely beautiful looking. Not too mention an animated intro. No bad games have ever had an animated intro. Look it up.
>and Burning Rangers is straight up dogshit
Animated intro anon :^)

I grew up with a Sega Genesis and remember being hyped for Dreamcast but Saturn was totally mysterious. I used to get Funcoland catalogs around 1999-2000 and I remember them clearing out Saturns for $30. Really wanted to get one but the store near me sold out by the time I got there.
Found an example. Not a single game over $60.
