id be lying if i said i thought most dreamcast games were good these days.

if it werent for phantasy star online, the cool hud and music in quake 3, San Francisco Rush 2049. 4x4 evolution. i wouldnt have anything nice to say about the dreamcast besides i like the design of it. i consider things like sonic adventure and dead or alive nothing more than graphical power demonstrations

Hey, come on guys... hating classics like Blue Stinger or Sonic is just unfair. Its like hating an old girlfriend... you liked her then, so what happened? I would separate personal taste, in order to form an objective view (actually thats impossible, but lets try to get as close as possible). What is a bad game for me? A game that has no soul, a game made for the sole purpose of selling, a lazy or incompetent port, a game that has no substance.
Games like Blue Stinger are like B movies, sure they're questionable on the surface, but enjoyable for the crazy unrestrained ideas and humor... the developers were exploring new grounds and possibilities, they ventured far into something never done before, they challenged an unknown territory: the new hardware, the relative beginnings of 3D games, the deeper storytelling, they wrote their own engines, own camera systems, own collision systems, own particles, physics, texture compression... the list goes on (the Dreamcast's DTX and PVR texture compressions are still used in modern 3D engines). I personally respect those games much more than current-gen action games (most using UDK which comes with tons of templates for everything... and yes for me every game using the Unreal engine looks like Gears Of War).
In conclusion, almost every game has some merit, it was created with an idea, people spent time and energy bringing it into existence.

And that can be felt, not deduced by looking at it from a technical standpoint, or from the distance of time... It's not about loving or hating... if a game is bad, you wouldn't even remember it.

Actually despite the controls I enjoyed Blue Stinger for what it was.

Carrier is pretty awful.
He shall appear from a far eastern land across the sea. A young man who has yet to know his potential. This potential is a power that could either destroy him or realize his will. His courage shall determine his fate...

Everyone entitled to their opinion Carrier is not a bad game. Far from perfect an slightly excessive backtracking but other than that i enjoyed it. The game i hate an i havent touched it since it came out is Fighting Force 2.
