Cuz it was his way or the highway

Limp Bizkit's Significant Other sold more than the Sega Dreamcast. I loved both back in the day. I still do today despite the flaws.

>>5078832
If the Dreamcast happened to fall off wherever it was resting on, the disc would pop out and keep rolling along the floor.

>>5078832
>we need people to promote our latest game console

>>5078876

>>5078832

It didn't have Halo, Wind Waker, or Legacy of Kain 2, the three titles that made the other three big consoles staples.

>>5079348
that was cross plat, Legacy of Kain 2 or Onimusha or Ape Escape 2 were console exclusives.

inb4 Halo was cross plat

wao another wotigoti and what not thread have this gonzilla

>>5078876
It was a different time

>>5079352
Xbox had to wait it's turn for the GTA and MGS games, by that time PlayStation fans already were done with those games

>>5079372
either way Dreamcast didn't have anything but PSO and Shammu, which were only cult classics, nothing kids lined up at Kmart to play the demos for.

>>5078832
Modern sonic.

Classic Sonic is charming and wholesome and looks much more like a little animal that can roll into a ball. NuSonic looks like a lanky smarmy tryhard that listens to Limp Bizkit and never shuts up with corny lingo that was outdated 20 years before he first spoke. Shadow is a cringey gun carrying edgelord who swears for no reason, has a human girlfriend who is murdered by the government, and only appeals to the cringiest sperglords alive. Metal meanwhile is just a cool robot. I miss the simple times when tiny animal mascots didn't talk and engage in retarded emo soap operas.

>>5079335
The Dreamcast arguably had a much stronger lineup than either the Xbox or PlayStation. It also had 2k sports games. The issue was that the PlayStation name was an absolute juggernaut by and trumped any of that.

>>5079493
You say that but SA1+2 were very popular at the time.
The truth is that Dreamcast was a dead man walking from the very start. After the fuck-ups with the 32X and Saturn, contrasting with the popularity of the PS1 and soon-to-be-released PS2, there was simply nothing the Dreamcast could've ever done to "save Sega". They really did the best they could. It made for a nice going-away party, at least.

>>5079503
2K sports didn't catch on until people realized Madden was shit in the 7th gen. Dreamcast had solid titles, but none of them were anything but cult classics outside of Japan, even as much as I love PSO it was a niche.

>>5079514
This is some strong revisionist history, m8. Everyone normie gamer in 99-01 with a dreamcast was playing the 2K sports games. They were quite popular.

>>5079518
> with a Dreamcast

that's what I'm talking about, most kids around that time wanted one of the big 3 because of Halo, Onimusha, Madden, or Windwaker. If they wanted sega it was for Virtual Fighter at arcades or Sonic on their older brother/sister's genesis.

>>5079529
Halo didn't come out until Dreamcast was discontinued. Windwaker wasn't out until 2003. You have no clue what you're talking about.

>>5078876
Limp Bizkit were riding pretty high at the time, they'd just recently done the Mission Impossible II theme which was a big mainstream hit and of course they were pretty hip with the young edgy crowd that Sega are always trying to tap into.

>>5079545
Fine, it didnt have Ape Escape, Quake 3, or Links Adventure. STAPLES.

>>5078832
Because of the 32x and Saturn failures.
I liked the Saturn, but Sega was too quick and eager to drop support for it.

>>5079559
Dreamcast has a better version of quake 3 with online play and m+k support dude.

>>5079514
Madden didn’t catch on until the 7th gen. 2k sports were the big titles at the time and were the best selling games on the platform. DC has really strong launch sales and preorders and a great attachment rate. It launched with Sonic Adventure, Hydro Thunder, 2k Titles, powerstone, ready 2 rumble and some. It had a ridiculous lineup with tons of great games coming out within the next few months. DC died because of the Sega name. It just couldn’t compete with Sony.

>>5079571
I'm also disappointed in the 32X not working. I actually like the idea behind it. Rather than making customers pay like 100+ dollars per game using special chips like SNES games such as Doom, Yoshi, and Starfox, just have a dedicated device that does the same function across multiple games, reduce overall cost. But of course the design and support and timing were all off, but in principle it was a sound idea. But all things being as they were, they should've ditched the idea and not fucked up the saturn launch as well. Those two things are what ruined Sega's clout with american consumers and retailers, and Saturn could've been an actual contender otherwise. Still wouldn't have beaten PS1, but it could've actually had significance rather than being something that most people don't even know existed at the time.

And then if they did that they wouldn't have needed to rush the Dreamcast out early. Could've released it in 2000 with better hardware and support and possibly lasted through the entire 6th gen.

>>5079351
>I hate the things I'm told to
>Do I fit in yet, guys?

>>5078832
Gaming demographic had just become overrun with dudebros who shunned "weird japanese crap" and only wanted sports so they all bought a ps2 instead. Also no DVD player.
In terms of software you didn't need a modchip to play YARR'd DC games so that fucked them in terms of sales.

>>5079971
You think only dudebros hate moeshit? Japanese crap is disgusting to anyone with taste.

>>5079559
>Fine, it didnt have Ape Escape, Quake 3, or Links Adventure. STAPLES.>
>Quake 3

lmao this anon can't be real...

>>5080017
Yeah I was gonna say lol, quake 3 on DC was marvelous

This is from my point of view from how I remember things, but I always felt that the release of the Dreamcast came at a weird time in terms of console generation.

Dreamcast released on 9-9-99, one year after one of the arguably strongest years for both Nintendo and Sony in terms of quality and quantity. Not only that, by the time DC was released, Sony had announced they were working the PS2 for about 6 months already, for a scheduled NA release in late 2000. They had a tough run from the start.

While personally, I do think Sega released some games that were amazing, I just don't think they had a quantity of games to justify for people to buy a Dreamcast. Most people were probably happy with the status quo and were content to wait a year for the PS2, since the ps1 had no shortage of good games to get.

Again this is just my opinion but I do think the quality of the hardware may have came into play as well. My PS1, SNES, GameCube, PS2 have all been through a lot of shit, but to this day everything runs fine with almost no issues. My DC on the other hand only lasted for a couple of years tops; the laser disc went out much much faster than my PS2 fat one did, as well as the cables and the DC memory card.

>>5079971
>Gaming demographic had just become overrun with dudebros who shunned "weird japanese crap"
You think the gaming audience of the west were big on Japanese shit at this point? It was 2000 man - anime was still the domain of hyper-autists and tweenagers watching toonami. It was another five years from being mainstream.

Come back when you can appreciate a real woman.

>>5078832
PS2.

Simply put, even before Dreamcast 9/9/99 release, PS2 was the most hyped console in all history. Even the cashiers at stores like Babbage's, Electronics Boutique, FuncoLand, et cetera were even suggesting to customers not to bother with the Dreamcast as PS2 was on the way. The fanboy mind poison was so bad that some of the people looking at Dreamcast graphics saw them as little better than PS1 (called back then PSX...I never understood why) graphics. This were the same idiots who proclaimed "Muh Emotion Engine" and thought that the first generation of PS2 games had the greatest graphics they'd ever seen on any game system (this would later be closer to the truth as the games developed, but the early PS2 titles were grainy/blocky as all hell; Dreamcast graphics may have been ridgy, but nowhere near that bad Compare DC Dead or Alive 2 to the PS2 version and you'll see what I mean).

tl:dr Sega hurt themselves with their earlier botched consoles and they couldn't compete with Sony's hype machine.

>>5080447
>real woman
>doesn't post real woman

>>5080449
To give you an idea of how badly folks fell for Sony's hype, during the Christmas of 2000 Sony did not have enough PS2's released to meet market demand. About the only way you were going to have one is if you pre-ordered. The folks lucky enough to actually buy a PS2 at launch were often able to flip them unto the second hand market at substantial profit. $1500 PS2's (just the console itself) advertised in the local paper classified ads were nothing unheard of....or even that unusual...and they sold. Keep in mind MSRP at launch was US $299.

Common sense would tell them to buy the Dreamcast instead...and many people did, allowing Sega to play catch up to some extent. But...the majority still held out for PS2. Hell, even I eventually had a slimline.

>>5079878
This hive mind mentality is ironically what killed the Dreamcast.

"No DC, I want PS2 like everyone else!"

>>5080449
It's true I'm not a segafan but ps2 graphics even in progressive scan mode have grainy, jagged and shimmering look. I think it's the bugged anti-aliasing.

>>5079571
It doesn't help that the saturn was difficult to program for, which could of probably been soothed if sega supported devs more

>>5079971
Dudebros eat up japanese shit like they eat up shooters. There not the boogie man no matter how much people like to make them out to be. Its the mass of casual consumers that bought consoles exclusively for its peripherals, sports franchises, and whatever AAA franchise that were being shoved in their face. The crowed that has only 3 games for a given console and sell whatever falls out of date for a yearly franchise

What about a 3DO clone signed by Kevin Spacey?

>>5079503
Something people don't realize is that from 1999-2001 the Dreamcast sold 9 million units. That's roughly half the Gamecube's overall sales in half the time. It pains me to admit this as an old Sega fanboy who supported 32x, Saturn, and Dreamcast to the bitter end, but Sega never really fixed how they ran their company. In order for them to break even on Shenmue, they would've had to sell twice as many copies as they sold consoles and that's one game. Sega was bleeding money because they weren't being realistic with the hand they were dealt.

If Sega wasn't retarded with their finances, they could have had sales on par with Gamecube or Xbox. Shit, Xbox might not have even gotten off the ground initially. The early adopters of the Xbox were people like me who only bought the fucker to play Shenmue 2, Sega GT 2002, Jet Set Grind, Otagi 1&2, etc.

>>5079643
It seemed like Sega had to be first out of the gate with new hardware after the Genesis. But each attempt came off half-baked. It's interesting to see how each new piece of hardware gets features from the last devices. To the average consumer, they want to know that the new device is going to be supported.

When I was a kid, most kids had a Genesis over SNES, and barely any of them bought a Sega CD and no one I knew had a 32X.

>>5079352
If we're being nitpicky, the Dreamcast did have the second Legacy of Kain game, which was Soul Reaver. Soul Reaver 2 is the third game.

>>5080569
Would've outdone the GameCube. GameCube was for gay babies and Bing Bing wahoo

Rumor has it you can still match with Fred Durst to this day

>>5081430
Both Sega and Nintendo have a very "video game" aesthetics to me, neither seem more necessarily kiddy than the other. They're the red and blue ying-yang of classic vidya.
In non-retro times and probably starting from 7th gen or earlier, brands and systems are very soulless, Nintendo included.

Redpill me on pirated copies of dreamcast games. I've heard that they're not interchangeable and which release you use matters for things like game performance, content, and somehow whether or not they'll wreck your laser assembly.

And if there are certain releases that are superior, which would they be?

>>5080414

>>5078832
The Saturn had left Sega's finances in shambles and the R&D costs + loss-leading including a modem with every console just worsened the problem.

Being outclassed by a cheap DVD player with huge brand recognition in almost every imaginable performance metric certainly didn't help either.

Because they killed off Segasato Sanshiro.

>>5081850
My brother from another mother.

A lot of games I like on the gamecube were ports from the Dreamcast,

Sega was completely lost as far as vision. SoJ and SoA were constantly at odds with one another. At one point, Sega wanted to have Windows CE be *the* API of choice for Dreamcast development, but that didn't pan out so the tools available for game devs at launch were lackluster.

Compare this to Sony - they knew they wanted the PS2 to be a major multimedia console. They knew that good tools were essential and so had them ready months after the PS2 was announced. And they knew that they were going to live or die by the grace of third-party devs, so they made sure it was as painless to publish on the PS2 as possible. Sony pretty much did everything right that Sega did wrong, which is why the PS2 was the best-selling videogame console of all time and the Dreamcast is relegated to quirky cult status.

>>5078832

I wonder how they pulled it off. I'm not a game dev, but my first instinct would be to treat the GBA like a weaker Saturn and use the sprites as quads, as both systems have similar rotation and scale capabilities. But it's hard to tell whether the games are using quads or tris.

I bought a DC day one with Sega Rally (it launched with about 3 games in Australia). I built up a pretty decent library. It was a good console.

I was lucky that my Electronics Boutique (as it was known then), actually had Sega Rally, as most shops were stuck with TrickStyle, Ready2Rumble and some other garbage. Games, VMU's and other stuff slowly trickled in over the next few weeks. Disastrous launch in Australia.

It did though, and one could argue that the Utopia Boot Disk had as much to do with it as Sony's domination in the market. Sony were making the PS2 mostly in-house, and it could play DVDs. Meanwhile, Sega has to outsource damn near all components, and they settled on GD-ROM as their format. Big mistake. Then the price wars, and Sega losing their ass on the consoles, and due to aforementioned boot disk they couldn't recoup losses on the software with the scant few who (in comparison) actually bought a Dreamcast.

I bought one a good while after the dust settled. It's a fine system with nice capabilities, but can see why it failed. In my opinion it was Sega's first good console.

>>5082463
Sort of a myth with no verifiable proof. I recall people being super-anal about placing dummy files to keep all data to the inside or outside, but there's never been a shred of proof that it did anything. Backups play about the same. One could possibly argue that a backup is harder to read than an original disk, but again, unverifiable hearsay at best.

I know that Dreamcast rips sometimes didn't fit, so bik and other formats were downsampled (shrunk) to make them fit standard CD-r. But yeah. At first the utopia boot disk enabled bootlegs to play (which was something because a burnt copy worked great). Later, they figured out how to make them self-boot, though a few titles still require the boot disk (storage contraints, iirc). Other than that, they used to require Discjuggler, a niche burning program only ever really used for Dreamcast bootlegs. Imgburn probably burns them fine these days. *nods*

Ready 2 Rumble wasn't too bad. Trickstyle was just an edgy future snowboard game.

Regardless, everyone wanted Sonic Adventure, Powerstone or Soul Calibur. I ended up getting all three a couple of weeks later, but it was a long wait just playing Sega Rally. I was always tempted to buy Blue Stinger.

Ended up with some of the best RPG's at the time though

Grandia 2, Skies of Arcadia, PSO, Evolution (I enjoyed it), TimeStalkers (I also enjoyed it), Elemental Gimmick Gear. Unfortunately there weren't that many RPG's released in the west for DC :( Thankfully it was super easy to crack.

>>5090640

Dreamcast didn't have enough time to get known well enough to succeed, just as it was getting more popular they canned it. People who didn't keep up tech news had no idea what it was. Even the ps1 took about 2 years before it stated making an impact with mainstream gamers. It would be like if sega dropped the genesis just before the snes released but by the time people found out about Dreamcast it was already discontinued.

Except nobody called the WiiU a success.
Even though I'm not sure if it actually represented a loss for the company, in the public eyes it was a failure compared to other Nintendo systems.

Seething.

Korn > Limp Bizkit

Then again, the only nu-metal band with any lasting appeal is System Of A Down, and even then they can get cringy as fuck at times.

>>5095126
>nu metal is cringe
Stop thinking like a zoomer. Nu metal was awesome for partying, people who think nu metalers were "emo" edgy kids got it totally wrong, fucking history revisionism.
Yes, Korn has angsty lyrics due to Davis, but the Korn public were chad skateboarders and stoners, same as Bizkit and other nu metal bands in the late 90s.
It was a great scene and I hate seeing kids who weren't even alive then parrot shit they hear from other "music fans" who think Pitchfork are a good indicator of taste. Yikes.

>>5079351
Say what you will about the band, but don't even try to deny that Wes Borland is a fucking god tier guitarist.

>>5095152
Refreshing to see this since on the internet nu-metal == cringe but IRL it was just popular party music, in fact in most highschools here you were far more likely to be a loser if you didn't like it and "oh i only listen to true thrash metal actually".

>>5095158
>mfw Wes Borland played with X Japan
Thankfully when I saw them live, Sugizo was on the guitar.

>>5095126
Korn was my favorite hands down. I even kinda like their dubstep album.

>>5095162
I can only imagine that the people hating on nu metal in this thread are ancient actual boomers or zoomers.

The PS2 was difficult to develop for. This used to be well-known but the PS3 being a total nightmare to develop for overshadowed this fact in history.

I cucked many a boys like you when I was skateboarding. Bitches love a guy who can successfully pull an ollie you know.

>>5096253
I hung out with a skater clique when I was in HS, and yes they were very "chad". They were always very tall, much older-looking even though they were a grade below me (I assume they had been held back some years due to never doing any schoolwork, lol), deliciously bronzed latino boys who wore a lot of black and listened to nu metal. Though this was early 2000's so it was more the Slipknot/Coal Chamber/Mudvayne school of nu metal, but the point still stands that nu metal was never "uncool" until music journalists started telling people that it was; those bands were top-sellers and constantly being featured on movie soundtracks back in the day.

>>5095126
Korn IS better than Limp Bizkit, that's hardly a surprise, but the latter made some pretty banging nu metal albums. SOAD is pretty overrated though.

>>5095152
Fucking this. Nu metal was all about macho posturing with misogynistic lyrics and it was great. It was obviously made for male teenagers looking to blow off steam and we loved it. It was de facto music for wrestling and skateboarding back in the days. Also, I hate emo. It was the antithesis of nu metal but the mainstream chose the whinyass virgin emo instead of keeping up with chad nu metal since 2003-2004.

I unironically still like Significant Other.

Don’t play any Limp Bizkit at a party though, people will just laugh at best.

>Don’t play any Limp Bizkit at a party though, people will just laugh at best.
What makes you think that?

>>5098712
Because nu-metal has been out of style for 20 years

>>5098712

Because people tend not to like Limp Bizkit now, and also drunk girls like familiarity in their music and probably haven’t heard them in 15 years. They’re also too heavy if it’s a more chill party. with nobody dancing.

>>5095152
>chad
Everyone must have had different Chads than we did in central California in the 80's/90's. Our chads spent their recreational time doing steroids in the weight room at school, and robbing/jumping kids outside of school. They also listened to whatever was popular at the time. Yeah they'd show up at parties, have the "cute preps" with them. But even then they still dipped into the bathroom to inject each other, and still did their best to jump anyone at the party who didn't have a larger group of friends than them.

I wish our chads were just 'the cool skateboard kids', then us 'cool skateboard kids' wouldn't have gotten into so many scuffles with them.

>>5098717
Guess what style of music made a revival in the last few years?

>>5078876
Hey young friend.

>>5098717
Guess how I know you don't go to parties.

>and also drunk girls like familiarity in their music and probably haven’t heard them in 15 years.
This doesn't make sense. Songs from your childhood/teenage years always remain in your memory. Are you human?
>They’re also too heavy if it’s a more chill party. with nobody dancing.
Sounds like a shit party. Put "Faith" and lift it up.
