In any case.... I insist; I've always had the feeling that SEGA's most greatest performance at all levels was with the Dreamcast. Because Sony was able to have the best mass product, marketing, and in the long run the best catalog by brute force in that JUGGERNAUT called Ps2; but damn it, didnt nailed it as much at all levels as the active SEGA that I knew. The vulgar customer service, bad materials in many fat models, the Ps2 was a step forward and another step back technically with respect to the Dc, 60 Hz option only sometimes, etc. Nothing to see; a company treated me like a person,
the other as a number.
I was very happy with my product, there wasn't a month that I didn't buy AT LEAST one game for the Dreamcast, and since there was so much ARCADE on offer, they didn't pile up for me because they were quick-play titles alone or with friends; fighting Games, shooters of any kind, puzzles, etc. And then alone I beat Code Veronica; I was so addicted to the fucking console that I even bought myself on a whim to play Resident Evil 2 and 3 on DC that I ALREADY HAD on PlayStation.
The problem is that by mid-2001, when SEGA had already given the dramatic news, I had already not only played, but also replayed the most important titles (Shenmues, Sonic Adventures, etc), and although I endured TWO YEARS more like a champion exploring the Japanese catalog of the system, and the fleeting novelties (ship shooters) that still came out in that country; the truth is that the library of a Dreamcast does not have the depth of that of a Saturn, or PlayStation.
I still remember that fateful email that was sent to my Dream Arena account thanking me for having supported the system for so long, but unfortunately they closed the thing... I felt as if my best friend had sent me a letter telling me that he was going to commit suicide at that time.
After that intense experience, although I think that as a catalog the Ps2 + backward compatibility is almost invincible, NO console has made me emotionally involved with it again until about 4 years ago a Mega Drive snuck into my house, and conquered me with its rock personality, and well...
