The more I play this, the more I realize Sega was made for stupid people. All of it is about action and speed. Stuff that required no patience, but just mashing buttons over and over again. I truly believe that you have to be dumb as shit to have preferred Sega to Nintendo.
>>12545940As a kid who had a Sega I can confirm, never played any of my Genesis for more than 30 minutes and would get bored quickly, then I got a n64 and PSX and boy those were actual games that lasted like weeks or more, give away my sega and all the games and still don't miss them or care.Years later when I got my own pc I emulated Snes and nes just out of curiosity and I was surprised to find out they too had actual 20 hour long games with actual worlds to explore thar I would have loved way more as a kid than the 20 minutes time wasters of the Genesis
>>12545951Why are you comparing a 16 bit system to the next generation?
>>12545957I also compared it to it's own generation and the previous one
>>12545940>BLAST PROCESSING>GENESIS DOES WHAT NINTENDON'T>SEGATA SANSHIROno shit, they both had the most retarded marketing too, no wonder they attracted dumb kids (and did very well in america)
>>12545940Other way around. Intellectuals such as myself a self proclaimed genius prefer fast paced games that don't waste our time because we have far more important things to do. Having a quick session in between study times and checking the stock market are far more valuable than slow DVD menu simulators like Final Fantasy.
>>12545968Mega Drive out sold SNES in Europe. Better sound, better graphics style and a number of games that were either exclusive or the better version of the game
>>12545985>b-b-but they won in europe!And globally Sega lost every single generation they participated in
sega kids i knew were edgelords, only child, jocks, or minorities. i got one pretty late (1993 i think) and i asked for it for christmas specifically to play mortal kombat with blood. so file me under edgelord. my brother also got the sega cd for it.
>>12545940>Stuff that required no patience, but just mashing buttons over and over againIt's the opposite. Sega was great for people who liked arcade games since it was an arcade developer. And in order to beat arcade games you need to have a lot of patience. Nintendo fanboys were mostly just playing RPGs and platformers. I was playing shit like Afterburner 2, Super Hang-On, Alien 3 etc
>>12545991But they didn't deserve to. The main reason SNES out performed Genesis in the US was because American mommies were still in charge of buying the consoles and they thought everything was Nintendo so just bought the Mario machine. In Japan, Sega made the effort to start giving them RPG's for the next generation so it wasn't so western and the Saturn out sold the N64 as a result. Dreamcast was far ahead of its time but by 1998 Sega were already internally talking about going third party because they had run out of money.Sega proved in back to back gens they could beat Nintendo in two very different territories.
>>12546008SNES didn't even outsell Genesis until years after the Saturn was out. They won the 100m dash after everybody else moved onto the next event.
>>12546008>but it wasn't they didn't deserve it>master system is just a piece of shit with no games through and through >genesis has no complex games and despite doing good Sega decided it needed two useless add ons because it was too weak >Saturn was a shitshow with no Sonic mainline game to appeal to their loyal genesis fans and a large majority of games got stuck in Japan because SoA knew it was a failure >Dreamcasr was dead on arrival due to the Saturn being so shitThey deserved it
>>12545940No, no, go ahead, tell us the names these Nintendo games for smart people.
>>12545940It was the OG Xbox of it's time. For dudebro chads who wanted hard games where you just slash, crash and shoot things and didn't care about games being "lifechanging" or having "artistic merit"

>>12545940Is this the new cope for the snes having a slow cpu?
>>12545940Feeling the need to insist on your own intellect or downplay others is the calling card of a pseud
I miss the old janny.
>>12546053SOA had massive stockpiles of consoles they ordered in fucking 1995 with the delusion that they'd still be able to sell them at 1992 level of demand.
>>12545940Which were these SNES games that required patience? Did it even have a point-and-click adventure?
>>12546205there was also a SCD port of Monkey Island
>>12546090at least he deleted frog and Wojak posts
No duh, who else would buy educational consoles?
>>12545991>And globally Sega lost every single generation they participated inthey were outselling the SNES up till 1995 when Sega pretty much lost the plot. Nintendo kept selling the SNES for several more years, eventually outselling the Genesis. It's the same as how the PS3 eventually outsold the 360, despite nobody actually buying the PS3 in 2006-2010 (it cost so much you could get a Wii and a 360 both for the same price).
>>12546053Those consoles were returned because Sega of Japan ordered SoA to start going full retard, which resulted in EVERY retailer getting pissed off and returning the consoles and games.
>>12546172Tom Kalinske thought they could drag the Mega Drive out to 1998 for fuck's sake.
>>12545940>All of it is about action and speed.play Shadowrun, trollb8er. and ban urself
>>12545940Wait, this bait thread is actually getting a ton of replies? Is this the state of /vr/ in 2026?
>>12545940The funniest thing about this argument is that the Mega Drive and Mega CD had the better selection of RPG, strategy, and simulation games and it wasn't even close. SNES drones can't even win on their own terms.
>>12546642They really fucking don't, you have some awful pc ports and pretty bad DQ clones
>>12545985>in Europeconfirms OP
you're a faggot
>>12546642what rpgs are better on sega than chrono trigger and ff6? and dont be a retard and say phantasy star IV
>least deranged nintentroon be like
>>12545951>As a kidMany such cases
>I'm smart because I play nintendo
>>12546940Phantasy Star II
I had a sega and snes, both were gifts. I liked streets of rage 2 (which came with the console) and that’s it. I had Nintendo power so I knew what nintendo games were but sega games I had to go in completely blind. The only other kid I knew who has a sega, and the only Saturn I had ever seen out in the wild, got arrested for joy riding.
>>12545940You havent made a strong argument for your own intelligence
>>12545940Nintendo is for pedophiles and the only good game they made themselves was Metroid My taste is better than yours and I beat the shit out of you in school
>>12545940>actiion and speed is... LE BAD.Are we being serious right now? That's ridiculous.Also, something being action focused and about speed doesn't mean it was all about mashing buttons, often it meant you needed to have quick reflexes, and the arcade direction often meant they were difficult titles focused on trial and error, which in their own way required patience in their learning and getting better after failing multiple times, that's all.
>>12547087Oh I emulated the Genesis as an adult and it is still a piece of shit with no games despite having the whole fucking romset, I don't know why people hype it up, I guess they were kids easily impressed by the dumb marketing which I missed, as such I wasn't brainwashed to think the blue rat was cooler than nintendo, which I didn't even know what the fuck was nintendo until later, maybe that's why I don't give a fuck about it despite owning one as a kid
>>12546005Yup. Genesis games actually take some level of discipline and skill to reach the end of. Some NES era games aside, anyone can beat a Nintendo game. They’re retard proof.
>>12545968You forgot the British Sega ageS ads which were uniquely low energy and low IQ but pushed harder than egg theming, a national standard at the time.But generally the MD/Genesis was fine if filled a niche the SFC/SNES didn't fill.
>>12545940Sega games were high concept, but easy to pick up and play, and meant to be more temporary. It went for more climatic higher highs. Nintendo games were more basic in concept, but would try to get you to come back and play it more another time, little progress. Slow and steady. Sega games were like movies, SNES games were like TV shows.
The NES and PS1 were generalist systems that could do fast or slow games, in the 4th gen the difference was split between the Mega Drive and SNES, but Japan vastly preferred the latter as the console market there had switched heavily to slow games in the middle years of the Famicom.
>>12545940>Sega was for the low IQ>I keep playing this
>>12545940Just depends on the individual games. Sonic 1, Revenge of Shinobi, Shinobi 3, Streets of Rage trilogy, Hard Corps, Bloodlines, Shining Force were all great. But on the whole, SNES had a way better and more expansive library; Genesis just barely edges it out in the action category, while SNES blows it away in terms of platforming, strategy, and JRPG.
>>12547572>But on the whole, SNES had a way better and more expansive library; Genesis just barely edges it out in the action category, while SNES blows it away in terms of platforming, strategy, and JRPG.Then again, The Ooze, Garfield: Caught in the Act, Boogerman, and The Incredible Hulk aren't on the SNES or the SNES version is inferior.
>>12547576Nigga here bragging about booger games and fucking Garfield
>>12547576>Garfield: Caught in the Acteveryone knows the PC version is the definitive one and the Genesis game is inferior to it
>>12547572Jarpigs aren't real games though.
>>12547572the unfortunate part is that a lot of the greatest SNES games never got released outside Japan
>>12547572Shining in the Darkness is better than any SNES dungeon crawler.
>>12547576none of these games are good though
>>12545940zoomer hot takes
>>12547486No one cares what an Americunt thinks. You are low IQ compared to the bong, and you always have been. You're not supposed to let spastics lecture students in universities, or anywhere else, for that matter. Why do you think it's any different here, mong?
