This game was the fucking bomb when I played it on GC. Never bought one of those clunky online adapters, because Internet was still pricey as fuck those days and flatrates were unheard of. Still had tons of fun playing this with my mates offline. I have to admit is hasn't aged well though.

I feel really bad that I missed this at the time despite having a Dreamcast. There's no real way to replicate the experience now,. right?

its a shame there are so many fragmented communities nowadays.
no time like the present !

>>2867826
the best thing about Dreamcast UK was the internet service was FREE, all you had to do was pay the call charge with the provider, and back then it was 1p a minuet to the dial in number after 6pm.
had to pay the phone bill a fue times after skipping school and playing all day online at peak rate haha!

>>2867829
you can never live that fleeing moment again unfortunately, you can experience it, but it wont be THE experience.
the closest you might come is playing psoBB and reading through the internet archive of forums that where live back in 2000 about all the greif and drama that was going down then

Spent most of yesterday playing on Sylverant. Alone for the most part.

One dude played along while I hunted Saint Rappies for about an hour or so, but he left after trading me a Heart of Angel for one of my spare lvl200 MAGs.

Another guy logged in while I was in the lobby at one point and was super psyched to play, but he was on DC. Apparently DC and PC can game together, but GC can only play with GC. Boo!

Anyway, this is my winter break, and I'm sitting around with fuck all to do for the next couple of weeks. So get online!

I still play the GC version on my modded wii. You can backup your saves, connect to private servers and play offline co-op. Its a pretty legit version and i have had saves going for about two years.

funnnn times.

I still fire it up on my Dreamcast from time to time and wreck shit with my hucast.

The load times really benefit from a GDEMU.

Can't be much of a failure when it got 3 expansions, a line of spin-off series and a sequel that has millions of subscribers, plus Capcom copying off it for Monster Hunter.

It's not shitposting, at least. Cry harder

So is there any server that has a reasonable playerbase left? I can't believe Schthack went down and there's no point playing this game without people to enjoy it with.

That's quite a feat considerng the game doesn't have subscriptions. I'm not even being pedantic, it's a drastically different moneymaking model.

I haven't seen many souls on Sylverant the past couple of days. Maybe folks are busy with the holiday just around the corner? Don't know about BB servers though, as that's not my bag.

I played on SCHTHACK for a long ass time. Used to get lots of players during the summer and it was usually pretty fun. Mostly fell off after PSO2 came out but there were still stragglers.
Fucking festivities at the beach and trying to get a /v/ soccer match going in lobbies 14 and 15. I'll miss it.

Why is this guy so mad about SEGA threads? Is it a parody of stupid Nintendo fanboys?
