  • All you people with a Dreamcast, I'd watch out for this RPG.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 11pt Modern; text-align: left; '>The reason the DC is failling now is because the Saturn sucked and was forced to last as long as it did. The Saturn was a bad system, and you get no results from marketing it yet Sega attepted to keep it alive by pumping all that dough into it. The DC is a good, no GREAT system, and they didn't have the momey to market it thanks to losing just about everything with that piece of shit Saturn.

The Sega CD, and 32X didn't do half as much damage down the road as the Saturn did mainly because they were released while Sega still had the Genesis, the reason the Saturn 'lasted' doesn't have shit to do with it being good. Any fool can see the system sucked, the games paled in comparision of the PSX(Unless you count those beautiful 2D Capcom fighters and occasional pretty RPG), and PSX game sales always topped, if not doubled Saturn game sales, good example would be Street Fighter Alpha 2, it was a better game on the Saturn but sold alot more on the PSX.

Last 4 long years my ass, it lasted 1 year and 6 months, and then sucked the momey out of Sega the remaining 2 years and 6 months.

Sorry for Ranting but you must realise that the DC was NOT a bad system or for that matter a failure.</div>
