Yeah

A legendary SHIT

Stop kidding yourself. There isn't a single phenomenal game on the system. There is no game on the Saturn that would make me question getting an N64 or a PS1 first.

The Saturn has good games, but for every one great game it has, the N64 and the PS1 have 10 better ones.

That said, it was a great Console Generation. All three systems were worth having. There is just no world where the Saturn came in anything but third in that three man race.

>>6695448
Picking on the Saturn feels bad, its just so pathetic. Yeah anon, it was a legendary console.

>>6695764
the the n64 has a handful of games worth getting the system for
but the saturn?
it's good some to get you by if it's all you've got, but why would you get one if you already have playstation or n64?

>>6695796
even the n64*
it's got some*

>>6695764
It came in first for Pinball titles.
Considering how much I fucking love pinball, the Saturn was a real winner for me.

>>6695448
pretty cool hack

>>6695525
kek, gottem

>>6695796
It has way better arcade ports than the PS1.

Why the frick did the Saturn not have any Sonic or scotformers? Wtf?!?

>>6696337
Because Yuji Naka threw a hissy fit

>>6696337
Sanic scotformers were our future. The Saturn, on the other hand, well...

>>6696351
Based Bernie dabbing on all the saturncels.

>>6695525
You not wrong.

>>6695448
Can we all agree that both Super Tempo and Tryrush Deppy are the best platformers on the Saturn?

>>6695764
>but for every one great game it has, the N64 and the PS1 have 10 better ones.
I would say this is likely true for the PS1, but certainly not the N64 which has like only 300 games where many of those are shitty PS1 ports.

>>6696337
They should have ported Sonic CD to it at least, to buy some time while developing Sonic X-treme.

>>6696443
Nah, Deppy sucked and Super Tempo was disappointing compared to Tempo on 32X.

Best Saturn scotformers are Clockwork Knight 2 and Keio Flying Squadron 2.

>>6695764
PS1 is tons of bad shovelware and the N64 is just Bad Games: The Console. Sega was the only company at the time to at least try to continue classic gaming ideas instead of going full into the style over substance bullshit that birthed garbage like MGS and Mario 64.
Same with Dreamcast. It lost to PS2 because dumb fucking kids cared more about shit games than good ones.

>>6696458
Okay, so, N64 has 3 better games for every one great Saturn title.

Most Saturn titles were garbage, or shittier versions of PS1 titles. Only a couple really good titles exist for the Saturn, and the N64 has far more memorable titles.

>>6696475
>Mario 64
>Garbage

Look, I'm sorry that Sega's console was shit, but you don't have to straight up lie like this.

>>6695764
t. faggot who had nostalgia for PS1 and N64 and played Saturn years later

>>6696478
The N64 has about 10 good games and the rest is crap. The Sega Saturn has significantly more variety. I'd rather play Baroque or Powerslave than Banjo Kazooie, it doesn't make sense to me how esteemed platformers are when really interesting and fun first person games are for some reason totally discarded or ignored in these discussions.

>>6696705
I like em both, I just wish Saturn was as popular with speedruns and youtube as the N64. Sega games is almost lost media at this point.

>>6696443
Tryrush brings me to a warm cozy feeling I had when watching saturday cartoons. But the gameplay is only alright.

>>6696705
Powerslave is literally only remembered because it was the only playable FPS on Saturn.

>>6696556
t. Faggot who has nostalgia for the Saturn and cannot see through the rose tinted glasses that it was good but nowhere near as good as it's competetors

>>6696729
>t. Faggot who has nostalgia for the Saturn and cannot see through the rose tinted glasses that it was garbage and nowhere near as good as any of Sega's other systems
Fixed.

>Sega was the only company at the time to at least try to continue classic gaming ideas instead of going full into the style over substance bullshit that birthed garbage like MGS and Mario 64.

>Sega was the only company at the time to at least try to continue classic gaming ideas
This part doesn't necessarily seem wrong, they kept churning out their quirky arcade-style stuff all the way into Dreamcast/Gen VI.

>>6696720
the duke nukem port on saturn was awesome & made by the same co.

>>6696720
Quake is an incredible port for the Saturn. I think Powerslave is remembered because it was sort of a Metroid Prime-like before Metroid Prime was a thing.

>>6696475
1/10

The worst part is for like my first month as a proud Saturn owner, it was the only ISO my shitty burner managed to put out.

Virtua Fighter 2
Virtua Cop 1 & 2
Virtual On
Sega Rally
Daytona
Guardian Heroes
NiGHTS
Fighting Vipers
Fighters Megamix
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Darkstalkers
Dragon Force
Burning Rangers
Panzer Dragoon 1 & 2
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Dark Saviour
Duke Nukem 3D
Quake
Powerslave
Tomb Raider

and that's not even including the more niche / jap stuff like Radiant Silvergun, Sakura Wars, Bulk Slash etc

The worst part is for my first month as a Chadurn owner, it was the only ISO my shitty burner wouldn't put out as a coaster.

>>6695448
Indeed.

>>6696715
>Sega games is almost lost media at this point.
Not even close, but that would be a good thing.
>no speculation
>no dumb kids playing shit they don't even understand just to look cool
>no cancerous shit like speedrunning
How is that bad again? So yes yes anons, Sega a piece of shit nintendo is the way to go, they invented vydeogeams and having fun yahooo yahooo.

>>6696971
You can stop pretending those ports of Duke and Quake were good.

>>6697697
While we’re at it, how’s about we stop pretending that the Shiturn itself was good?

>>6697697
Lets be honest, they're not good. They're great.

>>6697705
Does it really matter if ports of PC games were good? No reason to play them today.

>>6697712
Sure it does, ports can be fun in their own way, and it gets boring playing the same exact game with no changes. What's wrong with that?

>>6696971
>playing first person shooters on console with a controller when they were designed for KB/M
Saturncels are very pathetic.

>>6696337
>scotformers
I want to drown everyone who uses this word

>>6697725
>calls themselves the master race
>can't figure out how to use a controller

>>6697729
Except it takes more IQ to play with KB/M than it does a controller. Nice try though consoletard.

>>6697734
>pointing & clicking
>high IQ
like I said, some "master race."

>>6697736
Post your Starcraft APM.

>>6697705
No they aren't.

>>6697745
You really can't come back from this anon, just take that L and be on your way. You can't figure out how to use a controller. You can only point & click. Stick to Runescape.

>>6697750
Is this really how Saturnfags cope?

>>6697764
How come you can't figure out how to use a controller anon?

>>6697768
Using a controller is not difficult, it's only sub optimal for FPS games. Especially either Saturn controller.

>>6697772
Dual analog is really preferable, but you can kind of get away with it if you have at least one stick for aiming, like on Dreamcast or N64.
Anything more complex than Doom just doesn't belong on a controller without sticks.

>>6697750
It's not about "figuring them out", it's about them being an inferior control scheme compared to KB/M. I mean, if you wanna handicap yourself, by all means, play using a pad. You'll just be slower and less coordinated than someone who's playing with a KB/M.

>>6697781
None of the Saturn FPS games let you aim with the analog controller and move at the same time.

>>6697784
Sure they do, like I said - you need to learn how to use a controller. You're making people like this: >>6697784 >>6697772 look bad when they can't figure out how to use a controller.

>>6696720
Power slave was a really good looking game all around. It’s remembered because it’s a good fucking game with a lot of really unique concepts. Open world, backtracking etc in an FPS game.

>>6697789
You hold the aim button and the movement buttons turn to aiming. You can't move freely and aim freely at the same time.

>>6697726
it's literally just one person

>>6695764
in japan it was the best of the generation by a mile

Is it worth it to get in to Saturn collecting? Someone's selling one with games for a decent price on my local CL.
I'm mainly concerned with simply playing good exclusives. Mainly platformers and RPGs.

>>6698624
You're looking at the wrong console if you want platformers and RPGs.

>>6696475
>PS1 is tons of bad shovelware
not an argument, you dont have to play those games
all that matters is how much good there is

>>6700101
>all that matters is how much good there is
about 600 or so
