All the best games for the dreamcast have been ported to current systems with the exception of Powerstone 1 & 2 and Seaman(which is the only thing worth having dreamcast for in today's time) just check out Dreamcast titles and you'll find them in the playstation and Xbox online stores. The thing about dreamcast being able to run SNES,NES,GENESIS,ect emulators from burned disks is true and used to be cool but its sooooo laggy, it's not worth it. I mean if you want one to actually experience it firsthand, by all means, get one. But if its good games from the system you're after, well ...you already know.
the newest system i have is gamecube

I love the GameCube. But the older Wiis(white ones, the newer Wiis aren't backwards compatible) played GameCube games so I sold mine for $20. I've had windwaker sitting on the shelf forever. I never played it...one day.

I can't work out if I like that game anymore, used to play it a lot when I was younger and liked it. Now I just find it Jarring after the 1st disk, because from disk 2 onwards the plot makes little sense and the '
realism' that the game had just goes out the window. But the final Castle was awesome.
Anyway, replaying Witcher 2. Haven't played it since I bought my EVGA 670 ftw, so it should be fun seeing naked Triss in Ultra - right?

Yeah I saw this and I'm happy with how it's looking. Had very high expectations and it really looks like they're being met so far.

Really wish I could find a copy of Earthbound for under a hundred bucks.

Honestly ill never give mine up. I don't even own an SNES! I have the strategy guide still but it's missing a few pages between onett and twoson. I really would blow the money on one of those mint condition, cased, and graded ones that go for over $1000. This is how much I love Earthbound.

It pretty much seems like they played the Van Buren tech demo and thought "we gotta make this game." Which is, of course, a good thing. Goddamn.

BAAALLLLLZZZZ
So that video reminded me of this older PC game. You're mercenaries or something, and you get your party shit and everyone had their little skill sets and all that jazz, BUT YOU COULD SNIPE IN THE FIRST PERSON. Shit was sweet.
Halp?

I fell off a cliff and died about 10 feet from the checkpoint I was looking for...after 40 minutes of fatasses with clubs and poison-shooting motherfuckers, in the middle of a pitch-black area that looks like post-hurricane Haiti followed by a poisonous swamp. Died with 42,000 bucks that I would have spent had I been able to find another fucking checkpoint anywhere.

You're not alone!
I have a copy which I still probably play through at 3 or 4 times a year. Best game ever.
I've had it since it came out too. My dad's friend used to review video games and lent it to us.
I just have the cartridge though, wish I had all the other stuff. Scratch and sniff, the guide, damn. One day.
Unrelated: I need to find a new game to play. Tried skyrim finally and I don't really like it that much. Not for me I guess.
Looking for something sort of interesting. Any suggestions peeps?

Splice: Tree of Life is a good game that makes you think for iPad. I'll have to check out The Room.

Oh man, those poison dart shooting fucks are the worst. I got hit by one of those bastards recently and didn't have anything on hand to remedy the poison. Died as I was frantically trying to go through my inventory. Then died again as I was making my way back to my bloodstain. 65K+ souls and over 8 humanity gone.

I was so angry haha
Did you enter Blighttown via the Depths? That place fucking sucks. Did you know there's a back entrance that's a little bit more forgiving?

Yeah, I went through the Depths. Heard about that back entrance, isn't it in the ruins underneath the starting area?
Dood, have you gotten the Stone Armor yet? Shit is AMAZING, with it equipped I can fight the Capra Demon one on one without even needing to get on the ledge above him. It's past that magic door in the forest by the blacksmith; you gotta pay him 20k souls to get the key but there are several armor sets in there, plus enemies that can be kicked off of the cliffs for an easy 7,000+, AND the bonfire is really close to them.
...but none of that actually matters 'cause I was playing the pirated game; just bought it for real today and have to make a new dude. It'll be like my fifth character, but I really don't mind at all. The online aspect is soooo awesome. I'll probably disconnect before going back into Blighttown though, fuck that.
I had a Black Knight Sword that was easily better than any other weapon up to that point, I'm really hoping one of 'em drops another this time.
