The Dreamcast is overrated

Hipsters never shut up about this console. Was it powerful for the time? Sure but that isn’t impressive. Of course it’s going to be more powerful than N64 and PS1 when it gets released 5 years later. It immediately became obsolete once the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube came out. All those consoles are much better than the Dreamcast. What about exclusives? The Dreamcast had barely any. All those games were also ported to PS2. Dreamcast was a total failure and nearly ruined Sega.
 
no one cares about it nigga
 
The Dreamcast version of Dino Crisis is the best, I think
 
Big disagree on it being overrated, though you're right about the PS2/xbox making it obsolete. It was released in between the PS1/N64 era and the PS2/xbox/gamecube era, which made it amazing for it's time, but had the disadvantage of being made obsolete quickly.

That said there were so many good games originally released for the console. Shenmue, jet set radio, seaman, chuchu rocket, crazy taxi, skies of arcadia. So many games were extremely unique. The dreamcast era had an extreme unique "feel" to it that no other console has had since. Wacky, surreal, futurist, colorful...I wish I was higher IQ so I could describe it better, but if you know you know.

It was sort of a product of it's time. The very late 90s and very early 2000s (before 9/11) had a certain vibe to it that the dreamcast and it's games encapsulated. Optimism with an vibrant, early-futurist aesthetic. 9/11 killed that vibe.

The only Downside to the Sega Dreamcast is the electricity bill, it is more Expensive to Play this system compared to the Playstation 3.
 
Dreamcast and Gamecube were the best consoles of the generation, PS2 and Xbox were decent. It's all fun and games until the 8th Generation where it all goes to shit.
