"Our main objective is still to continue supporting the Dreamcast, European owners can expect at least 50 more titles before March 2002"

That's the word 'Expect' that sums everything up. Sega all ask us to expect. So we do, we expect and then we become disappointed because they do not fullfill there promise. Sega, you have deserted us. It's time to join you.

>Everyone - keep your Dreamcast, but you will have to get a new console to experience the future cream of Sega<

This is a more concise post about mine, and your disappointments with Sega.

Broken Promises. As already mentioned, many words and posts ago, Sega decided to indeed let their unique offering (their words not mine) 'fail' in a sense of retail and production. Dreamcast has sold out in Japan. Not much time left to get one over here either, and yes I recommend them, but no I am not at all happy - further still, at Sega and their attitude.

SEGA : AGES

Sega take ages to release games - it's all in their name. Everything worth buying has been delayed, even the console. Oh well, it happens.

Sega promise titles that don't appear:

Half Life - THE most highly anticipated 'Dreamcast game' ever since Shenmue was released. Patronisingly delayed, by almost 7 months now, it looks as though Half Life won't ever make it to the Dreamcast.

As I type, I listen to Eric Clapton "Knocking on Heaven's door". How ironic.

Black and White - where did it go? LionHead weren't brave enough. This is not the reason I paid £189.99 for my console.

Ok, blah, blah, blah. I've complained enough, no I haven't.

Sega have screwed up Crazy Taxi 2. I'll tell you why.

Up until yesterday, I was looking forward so much to the release of Crazy Taxi 2 - here a game, with new features, moves and most importantly, the promise of 4 player simultaneous play. Yes you can pick up more than one passenger, woohoo!

No, there is no multiplayer.

Essentially, CT2 is CT. Any point in getting it?

To see how I am feeling, please refer to my tagline.

Be vocal.

No online play in MSR, Sega Rally, Daytona USA 2001. Now this.

I am most displeased, saddened and ashamed of Sega. Yes they make great games, but no, they don't give a damn about us.

>Plays Michael Jackson song of which I cannot remember title<

Ode to Sega?

Roll on the GBA and GameCube.

Cool - that is a good idea. I haven't.

D'oh! The Americans get so much more than us. But then, they ARE bigger.

No, I meant I've been able to play them all online for nothing since I have the US Browser and a Free Dial-Up account.

For free? Is that because you won them from here? Sega didn't give them to you.

Can't say I've got much to complain about Sega. They've delivered the goods in my estimation, well, at least for me anyway;

I've been able to play games like; Guilty Gear X, Fire Pro Wrestling D, Giant Gram 2000 etc. I've also been able to play titles such as; Daytona
2001, Unreal Tournament, Quake 3 Arena and, of course, Phantasy Star Online er, all online and for FREE.

I own 35 games for my system currently (all original I might add), with Crazy Taxi 2, Sonic Adventure 2 and Capcom Vs SNK 2 on the immediate horizon too.

Yep, the ol' Dreamcast has been a fantastic machine...

Sega was once a name I associated with honesty, originality and inovation. Now I see dishonesty, betrayal and broken promises.
