If you all liked SEGA so much why didn't you buy the Saturn? Why didn't you buy the Dreamcast? Why aren't you talking more about SEGA games in general?

Honest answers?

1) Didn't buy Saturn because I was too young to buy one and didn't even know they existed until literally gen 6 when I was wondering if SEGA was making a new console. This is despite me having a Genesis. I thought the Saturn was a console after the Dreamcast for about a month. My parents bought an N64 and shortly after a PlayStation.

2) I wanted a Dreamcast. I was slow on the trigger for getting any gen 6 console because I was fine with the 64 and PS1. My relative got a Dreamcast and I played the demo disc that came with it (had Tony Hawk and Sonic Adventure on it). He also had Power Stone. I really wanted a Dreamcast after playing one and asked my parents for one. It was around 2001 or 2002 so when I asked. After learning they stopped production of them, I asked for a GameCube because I saw a Luigi's Mansion kiosk at Target and was blown away by the graphics after playing it. Particularly trying to open a locked door and the little cutscenes that played for that everytime. Unfortunately, I didn't really care for the GameCube outside of SSX 3, THPS 3, Viewtiful Joe, RE4, NFL Blitz 2003 and honestly Days of Reckoning. I do still thank my parents for buying it for me since they didn't have to at all and I literally asked for it (and I'm almost positive my dad was wondering why I didn't ask for the PS2 or even the Xbox).

3) Because nobody wants to talk about Football Manager, Outrun, Total War 3, Space Channel VR or any of their IP to that length here. There are people who still don't know SEGA published Alien Isolation. It's just Sonic, Yakuza and Persona because those are the games that get the marketing pushes. Also, the reality is nobody is talking about SEGA as if they are on the same level as Nintendo, PlayStation or Xbox because they took themselves out of that. Now they are comparable to Bandai Namco, Capcom, and the like, so you're going to get the same kind of attention the other 3rd party developers get.

Saturn was an overpriced piece of shit in PAL regions, it cost more than either the PS1 or the N64
Dreamcast had a disaster launch here too, no first party games or memory cards for like a month after release because ozisoft fucked up their shipping order

SEGA is the ultimate hipster fag company. No one actually plays their games but instead constantly gets "hype" about the style and soul and parrots "memories" they never had. I actually loved the Genesis but the sad cope of how amazing the DC and Saturn were is just pathetic cope.

>why didn't you buy the Saturn?
Because my tech-illiterate parents somehow couldn't fathom that a console generation was massively different from the previous one. "You already have a Sega, you don't need another!"
>Why didn't you buy the Dreamcast?
I did, but only after it was discontinued. Love the damn thing.
