Pound for pound, as it was stated, the DC was THE most mediocre system ever. Besides the few games that saw the light of day on it, the DC turned out to be nothing more than a rookie developers testing kit. Sonic Adventure and SA 2 were garbage. Sega waited until they killed it to bring out the remakes and the big guns. I really could go into a drawn out list, like some guys love to do, but I truly feel that, for the most part, video games died after Sega killed the Saturn. There were some truly unique games, games of skill, that blessed the Saturn. Every system after that has been nothing more than crappy attempts at big name publishers trying to cash in, with a few spots of sunshine in between. I doubt that we will ever see the hay-days of the SNES and Genesis ever again. The XBOX is struggling just like the Gamecube, simply because all of the games and game ideas that are on them now, have already been done on the PS2, again, a few bright spots excluded. Originality is gone and the market is collapsing. Sooner than later, there will be no "new" games, just rehashes.
Of the 32 DC games that I once owned, I played 4 to completion and the rest were just a laughable waste of money. I finished Grandia 2, Shenmue(snicker), Armada, and Soul Calibur(if you consider it a beatable game). Like I said, the rest were just crap. A very scant few held my interest with their multi player aspects, like Virtua Tennis and Worms Armagedeon, but past that, I really cant see why the DC had such a loyal following. Sega has never cared about their LOYAL fans and they never will. They screwed u all with the DC and they are whoring themselves out to the highest bidder these days. It is almost like pro sports is these days. The good stuff is almost all gone.
