Furthermore, Well, I could point out you're comparing the peak results of the Dreamcasts established hardware versus the new hardware of the Ps2, but I was talking more in terms of gameplay. The Ps2 was when games made the true transition from an attempted emulation of the console experience to a more fully realised idea of console games as an experience meant not just to amuse, but to really sink ones teeth into. Lets compare the way the two consoles approached puzzle games. The Dreamcast gives us Chu Chu Rocket - colourful, simple, cartoony. Gaming equivalent of candy. The Ps2 gives us Ico. Artistic, hauntingly beautiful, impactful in the way no game before it could have been. Gamings ambrosia.

The guy that made Ico? Worked on D and Enemy Zero, two Sega Saturn games. The Dreamcast had Skies of Arcadia, PSO, and Shenmue, a game so "meaty" and fine tuned it steps on its own feet. And let's not forget the greatest game of the 128bit generation, Alien Front Online.

ICO is a great game, but that's like comparing the Xbox to the PS2 and using Halo vs Fantavision.


But props for picking ICO, which I think is, objectively, the better game compared to SotC.

None of those games are Gaming's Ambrosia.

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!

Ambrosia is that lovely saccharine sweet "fruit salad" that your grandma made for Thanksgiving and you loved because you were a smooth brained knob.

And obviously you didn't play Alien Front Online.
