Harsh criticism of Sega and its supporters

[evildead2099]

If you've visited http://segasucks.net, I'd like to know of your opinion concerning that website and its author.

[Cauterize]

its just some immature crappy web page.. i havent seen such a poorly made site ever! Some of the pages dotn even have titles!

and the bottom line is: Sega DOESNT suck!

[Flack]

Top of the page.

The factual and accurate information about Sega contained in the pages of this site is targeted at intelligent and open minded Americans.

Bottom of the page.

DO NOT VIEW THE PAGE WITH NETSCAPE, AOL OR ON YOUR FUCKING DREAMCAST!

I didn't bother to continue.

[Cauterize]

I didn't bother to continue.

not suprised! why people set up websites like this is beyond me...

[Half Japanese]

This particular "style" of site isn't all that uncommon really. Think of this guy as Maddox or Something Awful (Truth Media and Your Band Sucks in particular) without the effectiveness, writing skills or diversity. A site done solely to solicit hatemail from other sadsack individuals who should all agree upon a time and a place to ingest "special" kool-aid.

[evildead2099]

My thoughts exactly, although I did go to the trouble of exploring that website to see if it contained any redeeming information.

I'm all for offering constructive criticism and deconstructing questionable marketing strategies (i.e. "blast processing"), but that website, quite frankly, makes a poor example of the internet's potential to provide people with access to information, opinions, and entertainment.

The factual and accurate information about Sega contained in the pages of this site is targeted at intelligent and open minded Americans.

That is a pompous and ethnocentric approach to preparing visitors for "facts" if ever there was one.

The author is terribly narrow-minded and lacks tact. There are several examples in his responses to criticism which demonstrate that he is all too content to resort to vague retorts in attempts to excuse his bias.

He has the nerve to suggest that the Sega Dreamcast (of all of Sega's systems) is the main reason why Sega "sucks."

Since when do sales equate greatness? Technologically speaking, Beta is superior to VHS; the fact that VHS dominated the home video market does not make it a better format.

I've visited websites which openly promote bigotry that seem reasonable and fair compared to the crap that I read at http://www.segasucks.net. Even Fox News seems "fair and balanced" in comparison.

[Gapporin]

By the looks of it, he also hates Macintosh. So there you go.

[evildead2099]

Yep, and he takes a shot at the Netscape browser without saying anything negative about Micro$oft's Internet Explorer.

The dude hates Sega so what? I hate Sega too. I feel the same way he does. Sega makes all kinds of promises and never delivers. You think Sega craps gold bricks? Great, go to a fansite and lavish in all the love you are giving a faceless corporation.


Is it really fair to compare a website about why they hate a company to racists websites? Doesn't seem that fair to me.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

I think this site would take the cake for worst sega page ever.

Consider how I compared them. I didn't say that I have more respect for the views promoted in racist websites than I have for the views promoted in segaslayer's website; I stated that overtly racist websites exercise more tact than does segaslayer. In other words, I've read stuff by racists which do more to accommdate visitors than does segaslayer. I never said that anti-Sega views are necessarily as bad as anti-ethnicity views.

[Richter Belmount]

heh this site was made by a real uber dork

Why do you assume that I love Sega? I scarcely said much in defense of Sega; most of my words criticised the author of that website for the manner in which he promotes his opinion.

You can hate Sega all you want. I won't think as poorly of you as the author of that website so long as you you refrain from exercising tactics that compare to his.

Have you seen Red vs. Blue's take on 'real life vs. the internet' (featuring animation from Halo)?

[Flack]

I glimpsed in the FAQ where he says he's never owned a Sega product. It's like, hey, Sega sucks so much that he's never had to try out any of their products in order to determine their level of sucktitude.

I'm sure when I was grade school kids wrote notes on a similar level of intelligence. It's just they didn't have the world wide web to post them on.

[Neil Koch]

bad design and not funny... reminds me of a crappy GeoCitiies site.

[Maxx]

Ok... Quote Q: So aren't you just pissed off at Sega for some reason? Like, you bought one of their games and didn't like it or something?
Q: I have never owned any Sega product or used any Sega service. I have more sense than that.

If you have never owned a product or use any services from a company, how do you hate them so much? I mean come on now, I've never used a iMac so should I hate Macintosh?

Why Sega sucks:

I'll give you five reasons why Sega sucks:

1. Dreamcast

2. Saturn

3. 32X

4. Sega CD

5. Game Gear

The bottom line is that SEGA ALWAYS FAILS and thats why they suck.

I feel like taking a visit to his house with my friend the...

[Daria]

Wow... he actually has a section of the site devoted to making fun of the web design on other people's sites.

Can you say hypocrite?

Heh...

I was doing better Web design in 1995... and sadly I'm not kidding.

If you are a hateboi, that's fine. Go ahead and hate for whatever reason you want and you have every right to hate. This site is so stupid though, even if I hated Sega I would think it was a horrible site. Lets see here:

"DO NOT VIEW THE PAGE WITH NETSCAPE, AOL OR ON YOUR F---ING DREAMCAST!" (followed by "I hate Macintosh" logo). - Really mature. Ironically, even Slate (Microsoft's own e-magazine) has now recommended using Mozilla (based on Netscape) as a browser. Regardless, this site managed to crash my computer in IE service pack 2. So the only thing you support doesn't even work right?

"A: Read the About page, moron" - Yes. Demean your visitors who ask why you hate Sega. That definitely stresses your point well. That's like me saying to you, "Oh, so you voted for _____? You're a MORON and have no values!" Yes, now we each see eachother on a level playing field.

"Speed simply wasn't a concern for Nintendo who were more interested in the depth and creativity of their games." (In "Blast-Processing" article.) No really... blast processing was just a term that Sega made up? That's amazing! The argument does nothing from that point on.

I'm open to honest criticism and I will even seek it out when forming an opinion about something, but there is nothing worthwhile at that site. I'm not even going to go further, but I could site a million reasons why it is wrong or misinformed. I am not by any means saying Sega is perfect, and I don't believe that myself, but that is just pure stupidity.
