So you're saying the Xbox is a better system for 2D fans than the Dreamcast?

Except that Xbox was made by Microsoft and well....
The world would be a better place if there were less shooters and more dot-eaters.

Other than an asinine controller design, I'd say yes. Hell, I'd buy an Xbox if RSG was announced for a port. But we all know that'll never happen.
...so the fact that it doesn't actually have any 2D games worth mentioning beyond some bones Capcom and SNK tossed at it doesn't make a difference? Theoretical potential matters more than actual output?

Seriously. Some dude on the interweb says "the Dreamcast is a rapscallion" and this guy is gonna cry himself to sleep and then wet the bed over it.

Wrong! It's a joke thread and that wasn't funny. That one died with the Eisenhower administration pal. Take it to the Catskills.

if you ask me, boycotting the PS1/2 is just hurting yourself, but whatever floats your boat.

I don't see how thats hurting me. I already don't play half of the games/systems I own.

I hate that owl with the burning fury of a thousand suns. It was funny at one point, but "played out" doesn't begin to describe it now.

Which means, of course, that someone will reply to this post with it. :P

Or now that I've pointed out the possibility, maybe nobody will reply with it just to spite me.

oh god im so confused :(

It's not played out like that whole "OMFG! The Dreamcast is the most best system that ever came out because it was when Sega was looking out for us consumers and then Sony ruined everything because the PS2 can't do Bangaioh and I will now channel my hardest of coreness onto a message forum" rap is it? Because that would be "tragic" to quote somebody else hardcore.

It's been a few weeks since I powered up any of my consoles.

Of course, that's because my TV is busted and is currently being fixed.

I've been getting reacquainted with Freespace 2 in that time, and it's still as glorious as ever. FYI, anyone who wants an amazing space combat game along the lines of Wing Commander or TIE Fighter should check it out, as Volition's EULA actually allows the game to be shared (the first Freespace game, unfortunately, does not have this generous EULA). It's at Underdogs, though that version is seriously neutered. For the full game go to http://www.hard-light.net/ and check around on their forums. Then go to http://scp.indiegames.us/news.php and get FS2Open if you want to play it with fully updated graphics. There are also plenty of user-created mods available, the best being Derelict, and in case you wan the full story from beginning to end there's also a full port of Freespace to the FS2Open engine.

(there. something useful for this thread)

Thank goodness you guys quoted some of Zweihander's deleted stuff! It's all choice pickins!!!

ROFL ROFL

That burning jet photo is AWESOME. I wonder where it came from and how it was made. I may have to steal it.

The owl is over my head tho. WTF is O RLY anyway???!?!?!?

Dreamcast . . your nose is . . very . . large.

Dreamcast can't sleep on the top bunk, he wets the bed!!

Dreamcast is ugly and it's mommy dresses it funny.

Honestly tho, Dreamcast is way better than the Fairchild Channel F. Or the Bally Astrocade. The Odyssey 800. ActionMax. The Timex Sinclair.

pfffffffff . .

No, that's Remulak. A small town in France.

Holy threads-gone-wild, Batman! I have a good 8-hour sleep and two pages worth of posts are submitted here in the meantime. :shock:

Somehow you managed to miss the point there. BulletMagnet and sethsez explained it nicely, so let's leave it at that.

This certainly turned into an interesting thread. All the forum drama and wild randomness tossed into one.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Thats it, The Police have been called for apparent internet crimes.

1. The recomendation of ebay, Just plain awful when there are plenty of independant retailers who are far more deserving of your money than a broken auction site with no sense of customer service.

2. Zweihander for trying to defend the DC then point out that his game collection is cdr's. What exactly is the college course you are taking that is depriving you of cash? Stupidity 101?

Well congratulations you've just passed.

3. Xbox is a haven for 2D fans?

If the wrong-o-meter wasn't hitting the 10 for this one how about the obvious problem that many 2D fans are sticklers for resolution let alone the problem that the Xbox has quite possibly the worst video output of any modern day console so any definition those 2D sprites once had are now a blurry mess.

And finally... WHAT'S A DREAMCAST??

Zwei is more or less an extreme version of a lot of shmups.commies. They pirate everything on Dreamcast, yet just buy a PS2 (instead of legally buying all those DC games they 'cant afford') for Gradius 5 because Treasure TOTALLY ROXORZ. And then go on about how much better Dreamcast is without knowing what the hell they're talking about, and because evil Sony won't let you steal the software so easily.

Zweihander, you want to keep e-sticking-your-fingers-in-your-ears and yelling, fine, but you've made it abundantly clear that you're a clueless, raving fanboy (and I didn't even get to read half your posts...why is it you keep editing and deleting?). Again, if you are unable to admit being wrong about something, there's no point in people discussing it with you.
