Alright, I concede that the Dreamcast is the most overrated system ever. The most underrated must be the Atari Jaguar.

I'm sorry, you didn't put Dreamcast on the poll? Weird.

Consider this, Dreamcast had online first, great graphics and the best line up of fighting games ever. Doesn't mean I'd get one though.



Hmm, pie.

Gamecube and runner-up Vita. For Vita there are legit reasons why it didn't become a success but for GC only petty reasons. 3rd party support was not too great but it would have been if GC had better sales. I really think the indigo color, wacky looking controller and lack of 2D-Mario doomed the console. GC was powerful and CHEAP, short load times, good controller, Wavebird, all-time-great games like Remake, F-Zero GX, Wind Waker, RE4, Melee, Metroid Prime........fuck, the more I think about it, just no...nonono......but nowadays we can hope the next Assassin's Creed or Fallout not to be too buggy on launch, yeah that's some real gaming evolution right there



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

Dreamcast, that bitch had better graphics than PS2.


LOL, nope.

Try telling that to FF12, GoW2, GT4, etc.
PS2 was actually able to handle HD, dammit.


Dreamcast had VGA adapter. PS2 had baby component cables... 😒

Dreamcast for obvious reasons. Phenomenal games that even to this day are critically acclaimed, Great graphics, online ready, etc...etc...etc! I could go on.

I also think the Gamecube is underrated as well though.

Feel like living it right now with the PlayStation Vita. This system is on its way to surpassing the GameBoy Advance as my favorite handheld console of all time. It is an amazing piece of tech that feels like the culmination of everything I've wanted in a handheld. Four face buttons, d-pad, two analog sticks, shoulder buttons, touch screen and rear touch pad. Amazing beautiful graphics and a robust and diverse library that I struggle to keep up with. Shame to me that it happened to come in age of smart phones as it is a truly brilliant system.



WiiU, GC and TurboGrafx 16.




Other - Wii.

The other systems listed were filler, were poor outings for their respective companies, and did nothing to expand or improve the industry.

Gamecube is by far the most overrated console, particularly on this forum.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

For me it has to be the 3DO. People don't seem to realise it actually competed very well with ps1 for performance often providing better graphics.

Tempted to say OG Xbox, but probably Wii U.

Honestly the only thing keep me from buying is the dumb gamepad. The games look rockin'.

Wii U is an awesome system man. The gamepad is not that big of a deal (though I agree it holds the system back a bit)
