neutral to it

My friend had that growing up, while I had an N64 and PS2 Slim. I liked Sonic Adventure 2 on it and played it on my friend's console a lot, while I let him borrow my N64 to play Goldeneye. I was neutral to it. It just didn't have enough games on it to appeal to me. Kind of like the PS3 and PS4. And Xbox One. And Xbox Series X/S or whatever stupid sh*t they're calling it.

Most people don't really give a damn about home consoles themselves. They are about the IPs and any exclusive ones on there. That's why Nintendo fanboys are the biggest fanboys in all of gaming. Xbox 360 used to be the sh*t back in the 2000s and early 2010s. Then they put out a useless paperweight that they could use to spy on you and no one bought it.

Dreamcast was a good console in hardware for 1999, but what would I play on it? Knights? Shinmue? Jet Grind Radio? And all those lame super-Japanese games it had?

I bought one at a garage sale one time and it had a really great fishing game, and an awesome snowboarding game as well.
We actually played it a lot for a while, the fishing game was a big hit with all the guys at our Christmas party. It was a decent machine for what I paid for it.

I haven't played it, but from what i have looked in to about it, it seemed pretty ahead of its time, a lot of games originally for it are now on pc or xbox so it makes me wonder if microsoft kinda used it as an inspiration for their xbox? Who knows...
