Happy Birthday, Dreamcast!

[Blu]

You're 14 today and we wanted to show you some appreciation! Who would you like us to invite to the party?

I'd invite your friends, Phantasy Star Online, Crazy Taxi, and Shenmue.
Who would you invite to the party, Racketboy community?

[RyaNtheSlayA]

The PlayStation 2.

[ZeroAX]

Sonic Adventure 2, the only proper 3D Sonic game (if you don't count the stupid Tails and Knuckles stages).

Also the PS2 cause I'm a douchebag troll and I want to ruin the Dreamcast's birthday

EDIT

DAMN

[Luke]

The PlayStation 2.

I still remember buying mine at launch at Sears. My friend who worked there rang it up as a toaster or something so I paid like 30 bucks for it. He got one for himself, but couldn't ring himself up so he asked a co-worker to do the same thing but not before stuffing games into the box! Looking back I can't believe we did stupid things like that.

Anyway, that is my first Dreamcast memory. Happy Birthday!

Generations and Colors. Besides, Sonic Adventure 1>Sonic Adventure 2 (better, less frustrating level design and you weren't forced to play as other characters=much better game)

:S :S :S :S :S .....don't they keep records of their stock over there or something?

The best parts of Generations are the 2D parts. Not a fully 3D sonic title, and if most of the 3D stages are also full of 2D sections and everyone is just looking forward to the 2D sections, then it should probably not be counted as a full 3D sonic. Personaly I consider Generations a 2D sonic, cause as I said, those were the parts I liked.

Colors I have not tried. And you are forced to play as Big the Cat and Amy Rose if you want to get the full ending, which are muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch worse than the Tails/Knuckles stages of SA2 imo.

I don't think he cared much. He never got in trouble. He also "bought" PCs and TVs this way. I told him to be careful but his answer was always something like "I ain't gettin caught, their system is a joke" or "Aye, dey fuckin me, so I'm fuckin them, so fuck em, deez mo'fuckin motherfuckers" I still hang out with this guy from time to time and he sometimes brings up the Sears days by saying "You still got that Dream whatever-the-fuck it's called"

I really enjoyed the 3D platforming in Sky Sanctuary and Seaside Hill, it's easily some of the finest 3D platforming I've ever played. The underwater 2D part is (besides the turning into a car for a while thing) the worst part about the 3D Seaside hill.

It speaks a lot about the quality of 3D platformers if people aren't even willing to count some of the best 3D platformers of all time as 3D platformers.

And you are forced to play as Big the Cat and Amy Rose if you want to get the full ending, which are muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch worse than the Tails/Knuckles stages of SA2 imo.

Like most people give a crap about getting the full ending in a Sonic game (from storyline perspective, not from completionist perspective). I play Sonic Adventure to do platforming as Sonic. In SA1 I can just do that, in SA2 I have to suffer through the Tails and Knuckles levels.
