[quote name='BigSpoonyBard']Wow, that's quite possible the most moronic statement this week. How is a system with a high good games to crap ratio over-rated? How is a system that was able to bring Soul Calibur home not only arcade-perfect, but better, over-rated? How is the greatest console for the fighting game enthusiast overrated? You're obviously some form of fanboy/troll/child/mongoloid or any combination thereof to make such a statement.[/QUOTE]
Nice! Let's dismiss any contrary opinions to our own by dismissing the one who holds that opinion as a troll, fanboy, or child. I'm certainly not a child, and I have never been a troll or a fanboy. I have pretty much every notable system released since the SNES. I even have a Master System and Saturn. The dreamcast may have had some decent fighters, but it also had an atrocious controller that was hardly suitable for those games; the 6-button import pad was awful as well. So unless you had a joystick, the 2-D fighters at least would be unreasonable difficult to play. Outside of fighters, the system had very little to offer. Look, I love MVC 2, DOA 2, SF Alpha 3, and Soul Calibur. Those are some of my favorite fighters. However, most of them have made an appearance on other consoles, thereby lessening the significance of the DC, even if it did perhaps have the best versions. I own the 7 or 8 great games the DC had to offer (Soul Calibur, MVC 2, RE:CV, DOA 2, JSFR, Crazy Taxi, Samba De Amigo), but that's certainly not enough reason to hold it in such high regard. In addition to those, I own about 40 or 50 other DC games, many of which just weren't that good. I got them cheap so I didn't spend much money, but I do feel sorry for the people who did. Yes, the DC is highly overrated. Give me some examples that would prove me wrong.
