Saturn because the weird style of graphics are way different to newer systems. I just play the newer ports of most DC games so I don't really play the real hardware much.

>>9209408
Yes and cause. Not sure why the zoomies here have such a hard time liking more than one thing. Doesn't it make your polyamorous genderfluid relationships super complicated? Or are you all incels?
The sheer size of the Saturn library is a plus, but there's a lot of overlap where the DC version is vastly superior. If I was an EOP it'd be a simple choice, but alas.

Saturn has more games, Dreamcast is good but it runs out of steam pretty quickly. I also greatly prefer things like the controller, shooters, RPGs and 2D games on Saturn. Many Dreamcast 2D games have that really cheap and ugly looking 3D in a 2D environment style, or converted models into 2D sprites which I find looks terrible.

I still prefer the Saturn as it has a lot more games that I like

I need to play more of the Saturn library, but I think the Dreamcast is hard to beat for me because of Shenmue. I actually only played the series two years ago, but the themes and story resonated with me in a way that few pieces of media have.

Dreamcast by a landslide. Saturn has more games, but Dreamcast made a way bigger impact

[Anonymous No.9210081]

>>9209474
It's the ones you probably already knew about. Sonic 3D, Sonic R, NiGHTS. I'd recommend Virtual-On and Mega Man X4 as well to round out the list. VF2, Panzer Dragoon, Manx TT are alright but nothing too special imo. Burning Rangers or Radiant Silvergun are a little more niche but not necessarily amazing imo

Dreamcast because I'm not competent enough in my JP skills yet. Maybe it'll change once I can reasonably play in Japanese.

[Anonymous No.9210489]

>>9209408
Both are port machines, both are trash
Mega Drive is way better as it has real games

[Anonymous No.9212632]

>>9209408
I think with all the advancements in both emulation and translations, the Saturn library has come to be appreciated better. It's weird, the Saturn has some of that 90's JRPG goodness with Panzer Dragoon Saga and Princess Crown that the DC doesn't excel at, but it just doesn't have the same optimistic vibe of the Y2K period. Also, no Shenmue, though if they ever leak the demo I might change my opinion.

[Anonymous No.9212656]

Dreamcast. I had just started my first job and it was released like a week after my first paycheck. Bought it and all 3 games they had in store. It's the only time I l've ever done that and it felt gooooood

Saturn has more games, library is about twice as large including Japan-only releases.

I prefer the Dreamcast though, stronger racing library and I prefer its fighting games over the Saturn entries.

Not really, the Saturn has a much better jarpig library for instance.

Saturn. Simply because the games are deeper and more engaging. Dreamcast often feels like lite party gaming. Also too much 3D rubbish in dreamcast.

Saturn had potential if they ported the Japanese library over to American/European regions.

Dreamcast is better just because its the Dreamcast, you can still get that thing to go online if you're dedicated enough.

Problem was most of the best Japan exclusive Saturn games were too eastern-flavored for Western audiences.

They still should have brought them over, but I understand why they didn't to a degree.

Just imagine if they had released radiant silvergun with a strong marketing campaign. People obsess over ikaruga now, but i honestly think RSG is the better one.

[Anonymous No.9217063]

He probably just had a model 1 himself
Also both models are the same as far as functionality though

[Anonymous No.9217218]

>>9217057
The only differences I'm really aware of lean in favor of the model 2: they came with the updated controllers that most ppl prefer, and they are easier to mod.
Aside from that, I think it's all aesthetics. They might just like the way it looks or have more nostalgia attached to that model.

[Anonymous No.9217741]

>>9209408
mmm dreamcast because it is less similar to ps2 than saturn to psx

[Anonymous No.9217743]

>>9217061
I don't think either as good as people pretend it is, most of it is due to marketing from people like HG101 who barely played the games. What would have ultimately helped the Saturn would be actually releasing games which was in direct opposition of sega of america's policy. So yes, RSG would have helped, as would bringing over literally dozens of other games which never left Japan.

[Anonymous No.9217850]

Draw for me

>>9217743
True enough, RSG itself has become more known for the hype than it's know for the gameplay or quality. Still i think the music kicks ass and the multiple weapons makes me prefer it over ikaruga. The saturn shmup library is arguably on par or better than the DC if you like the genre there's tons of really high quality arcade ports.

prob better to just get both
especially while theyre reasonable
in 10-15 years the systems will be comically expensive

saturn:
more girth in the arcade ports
dreamcast:
wow factor and exclusives

if i could only pick one i would choose saturn but only because it has more titles i havent fucked with yet

>in 10-15 years the systems will be comically expensive
for the saturn, the games are already way past that point, even the japanese ones of which there is more supply, you aren't gonna be playing anything without a fenrir/satiator/whatever
but it is good advice, good condition saturns run for 100 bucks right now

[Anonymous No.9218659]

Gdemu clones are so expensive now. A couple of years ago I got one and that fucker didn't work so I kinda blew them off and didn't get another. Still want one though. Seems like burned games only work about half the time and it doesn't seem like a bad laser, just bad rips/compressed. Sonic adventure 2 freezes after level 1, resident evil cv works fine.

Funny that in the whole thread no one has brought up the VMU as a positive. It was a neat little idea, but the controller sure suffered because of if. The ergonomics aren't terrible, but the 3D controller just feels better on the hands and has more buttons. And it seems like the idea was arguably latter refined by sony with the pocketstation.
