I got the chance here to try the DC on the internet and it works quite well!
Now to the err point.
People can be so single minded when it comes to computer consoles.
People get a new console or PC and are so impressed that they think that every thing else sucks (go to the Nintendo forum and you'll find out exactly what I mean)
You know, a few years ago,back in 1998, I thought that the PS was the best console around (having played a friends) but PC's were best (as I owned one) and that the future was in the DreamCast (as I was hoping to get one).
I thought that the N64 was worhtless with a few good games but nothing special.
Mario? A fine platformer to be outrated by the soon to be released Sonic Adventure.
Zelda? Another RPG.
Goldeneye? Another first person shooter. Nothing better than what's on a PC.
When one of my friends bought an N64 that Christmas I thought it was a stupid thing to do.
Then, one day, I came round and actually played on it...
It was a real eye opener!
We played Goldeneye, both single and multiplayer.
Natural I wanted to play it again after that, so I did.
And within a month I found myself forgetting the Dreamcast and ordering an N64 with Goldeneye and 4 controllers.
Now I am open to all platforms and although I'll be buying the Gamecube no matter what, I'd still recomend any platform (PS, PC, N64, Xbox, DC and Gamecube) apart from PS2 as it is over priced and offers little future from most developers!
Even still, the PS2 will still be a great console, and you can never say some elses console is bad just because you haven't got/played it or it you've played one or 2 bad Games on it!
It just amounts to stupid name calling (Fony Greystation for example) and prevents those who believe you from playing good games.
Its my very first topic in FoG!
If you check out the older replies, you see that there's Dan (me), and Dan (Dan2K1). Incredible confusion was caused.
He got so worked up about it! :-D
the "MILLENIUM DOME" DAN, the "CLONE DAN",
the "UNBIASED DAN" or whatever "DAN"
I'm Dan_uk now. Now we can go back to the PROPER SUBJECT of: "MINES BETTER THAN YOURS" this has got to stop...
