Power Stone 2 (4 players option) for a funny party game.
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. I prefer the first for it's simplicity.
Soul Calibur. Great fighting game even back them.
Street Fighter III 3rd Strike. Another Great one.
Marvel vs Capcom 2. Unbalanced crazy fun with lots of characters to try out.
Blue Stinger. Resident evil-like.
Ecco: The Dolphin. A good puzzle adventure game.
Ikaruga. A must play shooter.

Shenmue was the most expensive game ever made at the time and was suspposed to be the exclusive killer app for the Dreamcast when Sega was still a console publisher.
Yakuza is a low budget game that's exclusive on Sony consoles due to licensing.

Much of the time I spent at my friend's house playing Dreamcast involved playing Armada, Red Dog, Hydro Thunder, and Fighting Force 2. Would recommend them all except for the last one, though they may be more fun if you played them with a friend.

There are so many good Dreamcast games that you really can't fuck it up if you just buy what you can find, shovelware aside. Draconys: Cult of the Wyrm is an excellent hiddem gem if you can find it.

Is that a joke? Yakuza games have more cutscenes than gameplay. Also, the gameplay is nothing special, you just button mash the same couple moves over and over, even beat 'em ups from the '90s had deeper gameplay than Yakuza.
>Shenmue was a tech demo for a walking simulator.
Just because Shenmue is an immersive adventure game doesn't mean it's a "walking sim". Are Full Throttle or Beneath a Steel Sky walking simulators to you?

Yes, they are.

if you get one be extra damn careful not to accidentally rip your controllers out. day one after getting mine, i literally just plugged the damn thing in, turned it on got cozy only to see the light was still on. i got up to turn off the light well long story short the fucking controller port has fuses that short if you accidentally pull out the controller too fast to prevent fires. it will still boot up but youll be cockblocked by not having any controller input whatsoever. ive tried soldering a new fuse into the board (and it was some weird fuse hybrid or whatever i dont know it was my first soldering attempt) and i couldn't get it to work. i wasn't going to return it either because despite not knowing if it actually worked when i got it i couldn't in good heart return it for something potentially my own fucking failure. awful day just be more careful than i was

Actual developers such as the ones who made System Shock were using the term immersion before you were even born, kid. Stop discussing subjects you know nothing about already.
Also, I'd take Shenmue's poorly implemented VF over Yakuza's poorly implemented Spikeout. At least Shenmue let you customise and learn a vast array of real fighting techniques to use.

Sega of America was entirely responsible for the success of Sega in the console market with their arguably great and edgy marketing, PR moves like Mortal Kombat, having a rating system to allow violent titles and obviously Sonic, Tom Kalinske's Sega to be specific.

The Dreamcast is actually almost identical to Sega Model 3's successor the Sega Naomi. Virtua Fighter 3 ran on Model 3. Explain why VF3tb is a shit port when the hardware is actually superior to the original VF3 hardware.
Maybe you tried to play on control pads instead of the Dreamcast arcade sticks. That would make you not just wrong, but retarded as well.

You're wrong but VF3 on DC looks worse than arcade, particularly in the shadows and backgrounds. Maybe if the Soul Calibur and DOA2 ports hasn't existed it would've been impressive but VF3 really didnt take advantage of the console. Much of that can be blamed on Genki rushing it for a launch release.

>>14418367
It had no movelist in the practice mode, little options aside from the standard Arcade Mode, the VS mode did not even allow for character change, the practice mode's "dummy" did not have an option to keep it still (it attacked you constantly as if it were on Arcade Mode, defeating the whole purpose of a practice), the "endings" were just still images from promotional artwork, and as for gameplay, it VF 3 had the worst gimmick of the franchise: the shitty dodge button.
>>14419040
A bunch of dialogues, scenes, and some little effort mini-games.
Yes, they are walking simulators, and are shit because of it.
>>14418647
And you can compare it to other releases such as Tekken 3 from Namco on the PS1 that were out at the same time as VF 3 TB, and how Tekken 3 had a lot of extra content, modes, and characters that were not even in the arcade original, as well as a practice mode so complete that it became a standard used even today.

Maybe that example is running the DC in shit composite mode and not VGA (I bought the VGA adapter). You're correct on some of the shadows, colors, and backgrounds being modified, though. The only thing I would add is that the Dreamcast runs more than just VF3tb, and I am not sure if there were any customizations to Model 3 (version or "step" 1.0) specific to Virtua Fighter 3. Model 3 went through 4 hardware versions.
>>14436516
>The argument is that "VF is shit".
Just because you suck at highly technical games (do you even Stun-palm of Doom?) that require animation-frame perfect inputs for combos, reversals, and dodge/parry doesn't mean the game is shit. In reality it means you're shit. You probably like Tekken.
