What you're basically left with are a few good puzzle games here and there like Chu-Chu Rocket and Puyo Puyo but that's literally it.
I genuinely don't understand why a console this lackluster is so endlessly praised while it's objectively worse than the GameCube in every single way; an already terrible console. No wonder it sold like garbage.

Playing FPS on a console is retarded anyway, even the best analog sticks will not give you the same level of precision as mouse and keyboard, which is why modern consoles have crutches like aim assist to make FPS games playable.
>>Most of the worthwhile RPGs and platformers were ported to later 6th consoles like Skies of Arcadia or Sonic Adventure.
Ported badly. Dreamcast is the way those games were intended to be experienced, everything else is a rush job to recoup some cost after the system was discontinued. Only Xbox could play those rush jobs at decent frame rate because it was just that powerful. But it didn't get many JRPGs ported anyway, because that was an eastern genre.
>>Surprisingly many awfully gimmicky titles. Imagine buying this console for something as mediocre as Shenmue.
You don't have to play those if you don't like them. Dreamcast got a lot of arcade ports, those are not gimmicky at all.

dreamcast is a victim of the weird hype surrounding it from remorseful nonsupporters and nongamers and antigamers. If you wanted it to succeed you should have bought it instead of writing about it 10 years later about how it was the first time a console could connect to the internet (wrong and false and gay.) It's easy to appreciate for what it is instead of what FAGGOT journo COCK SUCKS wrote about it, it's a nice console but it's easy to see it truly lacked even the toppest of notchiest titles platforms like the saturn had. It feels like the library peaks at a strong 8/10 and there's nothing wrong with this, there's plenty of great 6, 7s and 8s on there but you'll find a lot of genres feel incomplete, like there was no resolution to their start of growth on the console which is a shame.

Hijacking this thread, has there been any better ways of adding Dreamcast games to a GDemu?

N64 did not have a second stick and still has GoldenEye, Turok games, and Perfect Dark. Dreamcast similarly has MDK2, Quake III Arena, and a few other FPS games. It's also kind of silly to mention the GameCube ports since those only came after SEGA went third-party... Like saying the Genesis is bad since you can play a lot of those games on Switch now. If you really don't like Dreamcast though, maybe try Xbox? It has Crazy Taxi 3, Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, and a few other notable SEGA games that probably would've ended up on the Dreamcast at some point.

In a just world SEGA would make the Dreamcast dev kit available online, start selling GD-R packs that people can burn their own games onto, and then put the actual Dreamcast back into production with modifications so it can play burned games and have native HD support and Saturn backwards compat. Make it into an official OEM Homebrew console, using the razor & blade model to make money (sell the console at cost, get all their profits from selling the discs). Then start selling new copies of classic Saturn and Dreamcast games.
