Rare Sega Games

I've played it through 4 or 5 times, and I've never played any RPG all the way through that many times.  If you get through it in 10 hours, you're not taking time to explore everything.

To be brutally honest, I wasn't impressed with PDS as much as some other Saturn games of the era (Shining Force III being my favourite RPG on the console), but I have to admit that the game did really blow me away with the art direction and sheer graphic prowess for a Saturn game. The world and story didn't wow me much with the lore, but just the unique feel and atmosphere was really great IMO.

The game doesn't indicate that there's that many side quests. :\ (I was also stuck in a labyrinth for 3 hours, so my 10 hours can be justified at this point since I certainly explored that area unintentionally <_<)

Does it matter how long the game is when I said that the hours are subjective? Even if I played it for 30 hours and completed everything in the world, I still don't believe it's worth the money, and like I said before, no game, SEGA or otherwise, is worth that price.


I loved The Last Story, and that's probably a little bit longer than PDS, but if that game was the same price I'd have the same opinion.

It's good that you appreciate it by playing it to get your money's worth, and I appreciate it for what it is, but no one can defend the price of the game because of SEGA's silly source code mistake, even as fellow SEGA fans. :\

Exactly! You share my sentiments! :D

I appreciate the game for what it is, and it certainly offers on being different to other games (and even amongst SEGA games), but the story's not great I'll be honest and the world could be a little bit more expansive. It's just a shame that the team were split up after Saga, as I'd certainly be interested in a sequel.

Not played Shining Force to give an honest opinion about it.

Burning Rangers for sure, very unique game that will likely never see a rerelease.

I was lucky enough to buy it new shortly after the Saturn was discontinued and the Dreamcast was on the way. Forgot how much it cost, but $40 sounds about right. Now the damn thing is $100+

Panzer Dragoon Saga- Saturn
Deep Fear pal- saturn
Dragon Riders- Dreamcast
Evil twin- Dreamcast

Rhythm Thief for the Nintendo 3DS physical is starting to become tricky to find. It doesn't help that SEGA has been shying away from physical releases given their new structure last year.

I found one for about $30. I guess I could try this game. I could still use a few more games for the Dreamcast and Genesis though. I need ones that are more rare because I'm trying to find some that my friends have probably never heard of that would be fun to play, so hopefully most of these games can be multiplayer as we'll...

It's a really unique game. Gameplay is fun, graphics impressive (especially the lighting effects), and the music just plain awesome. Controls feel a tad clunky, but not much worse than most 3D action games from that era. If Sega ever unshackled Sonic Team from Sonic for a while, a new Burning Rangers game would be near the top of my most desired list.

I give kudos to you, sir. :D

It's one of those games that makes you nostalgic for the Sega of yesterday. The Sega that was once a wellspring of limitless talent and creativity. The Sega that wasn't afraid to take chances.

I would also like to see Sega focused on other games. They have made too many Sonic games. I think trying to release a game that hardly anyone remembers would be a little bit risky. It might still work itself out, if they can make the game far better than the original. I probably shouldn't have an opinion on that, unless I played the game and made a new thread about it.

For the person who posted about Panzer Dragoon, I have a question. Is it really rare? I thought Sega later released it on Xbox...

Panzer Dragoon Orta was released on XBOX, and you can unlock the PC version of PD1 within the game. I think people were talking about Panzer Dragoon Saga.

I'll be posting a Burning Rangers playthrough next week on my YT channel. I can't pull off an S-rank run (requirements are extremely lofty), but I've got an A-rank run just about wrapped up. Should be a good reference material if you're having a hard time with the game.

Ok. Can you P.M. your channel to me? I don't think segabits would like it too much, if YouTube channels start to float around on threads like this. By the way, thanks for all the information so far. I think I might try this game and maybe a few others on this list.

We don't have any problems with people sharing their channels, in fact Saturn Memories has his own thread where all his videos are posted. No need to sneak around in private messages.
