The Dennis System: Aug 4, 2014; Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

The Dreamcast was peak launch. Everything worked. Stunning line up of games. A constant stream of games to keep you happy. The PS2 launch was a goddamn catastrophe.

Hmm.....

Dreamcast: 11/27/98-3/31/01 9-million
PS2 : 3/4/00-1/4/13 150-million

Yes, the Dreamcast must have had a successful stream of quality games to keep people happy for less than 2.5 years.

That's incredibly disingenuous. The sequel to the best selling console of all time which also was the cheapest DVD player obviously outsold the Dreamcast. But if you actually wanted to play games for the first few months then you didn't want a PS2. Also, it had issues with the memory cards on launch that corrupted all your saves or something.

I absolutely loved the dreamcast but to suggest it had no launch problems is hilarious considering Sega accidentally sent PAL games to the US and people had to return them to get ntsc copies. I thought my system was broken and it turned out I was sold a PAL game at a major retailer lol

I bought one of those 360 pads with the transforming D-pad because I liked it for fighting games and the plastic was so cheap that it literally crumbled after like 3 months of use. That combined with the joystick placement making my thumb joint lock up and I just sold the whole loving console in favor of PS3 and the dual shock and never looked back

Why would you play fighting games (plural) and not buy a proper fight stick?

Honestly new Zelda is maybe a 7-8/10. Goons losing their minds over how amazing it is. A lot of the realism Skyrim whatever aspects like weather/temp affecting you and weapon durability are annoying as gently caress. I guess I prefer a more linear Zelda too. That's disregarding the poo poo graphics and fps

Still gonna give it an honest go and maybe it'll pick up idk

I've not played the game but i'm gonna give it a solid 7 out of 10.

The disc drive in PS2s also broke all the time so a lot of those sales are probably the same people buying 2 or 3 units.

The PS2 had a faster processor and more RAM (but half the video RAM), but I definitely remember thinking that Dreamcast games looked better.

Yeah you wanna talk about odd hardware choices the ps2 was... Whew a nightmare. Whomever designed that was insane.

If you all want something to mock there is not enough talk about the left joycon being busted for a lot of people. To the point that a recall won't surprise me. Mine all works though and got to play Zelda while out and about yesterday and that was awesome. I really like that I don't have to wait to get home to play something or have to look at a small screen when I do get home.

What are you carrying it around in? I don't own any cargo pants, JNCO jeans, or a fanny pack, and I don't want to have to carry an extra bag around just to keep it in.
