The usual cope is something along the lines of "b-but Sega could’ve released a dual analog controller later". Unless Sega was planning on giving those out for free to all existing Dreamcast owners, they can go fuck themselves. That controller fucking sucks.

The Excuse Is That Piracy Killed The Dreamcast

The crime isn't having one single analog, the crime was reducing the number of buttons from the Saturn just because Naka wanted to simplify bideo gams

Really no excuse for that controller to be so bad. Saturn 3D controller was better and the lack of second stick was constantly a problem on N64.

Quake 3 is a bitch with the native DC controller. They should have had a pack in with a mouse and keyboard

it is kinda wild that none of the dc proto controllers considered 2 joysticks. they were dead set on the vmu. we also almost got a dc wiimote.

at first it had 6 face buttons like saturn/genesis. they cut 2 buttons because arcade players were expected to buy another controller and double dip. it just sucks that you can tell they went with a normie audience over actual function. (like nintendo)

The excuse is that arcade games don't need more buttons. The whole Dreamcast strategy was: "arcade at home". At the time, arcade games were indeed more graphically appealing than console games, but players bought console games for an adventurous gaming experience, not for the quick dopamine rush that arcade games offered.Sega tried very hard to catch up with the PS1 library, with many ps1 ports and clones, but it was practically impossible. The slim version of the original PS ended up selling more than the GameCube and the Xbox. The market share was there, but Sega was always very stupid.

The Dreamcast might be the most overrated console. Yes it has some hidden gems but many were eventually ported to other systems, iy was too dependant on arcade ports and the controller was hot garbage. The VMU was a neat idea but underutilized. Unlike the Japanese Saturn the fan base around then Dreamcast feels unjustified.

It absolutely should have had a second stick, but in all fairness, it felt like took forever for devs to even figure out what the fuck the second stick could be used for during the sixth gen. Halo was not the first to utilize the idea of left stick = move, right stick = aim, shoulder buttons = attack, but it was the one that really broadcasted the system. But even after that, you still had plenty of console FPSs that released that had the left analog stick aim and move, while using a face button to fire and strafing on the shoulder buttons. Do you remember what the right analog stick did in GTA III/VC? It let you look around in first person. The only time you'll use it when you've got to line up a jump, like getting into boats or reaching hidden packages.

And it didn't have bumpers either, just triggers. Sega didn't think that games would ever evolve beyond bing bing wahoo.
