Finally ordered Omikron!

Post by BrianC »

After a lot of thought I finally sucked it up and ordered Omikron: Nomad Soul off Amazon. This is weird for me since I have never bought a DC game online with the exception being my Sturmwind pre-order. I've always found that kind of cool :) and I have found 60 amazing games just from searching locally over the past couple of years (including Shenmue 2!). I've always loved hopping in the car and taking that two hour drive to orlando with some buddies in hunt of rare Dreamcast shit but that all comes to an end today! Omikron just looks so damn cool and I can't find it anywhere local. For as cool and ridiculous as it sounds I never hear much talk on it so I would love to hear the thoughts of the community while I await its arrival :D

Ahhh I got all wrapped up in memories and went all auto-type mode there. Anyways, now with the offensive bit edited out :D . I guess you can take control of different characters to tackle different situations. One example I hear was being a call girl and then murdering some bastard. And Bowie did the music, and he dances and has concerts in the game! So fucking excited for this game :D

you've NEVER bought a dreamcast game online? What are you a hermit of some kind? lol, Ive been buying games for the Dreamcast as well as a dozen other consoles for about 12 years! I don't think I could imagine not doing it that way, I love going on CEX and buying pre-owned over the net, dirt cheap! or going for cheap prices on ebay or play/amazon market place, I only go to the shops if I have games to trade in that I can't be arsed to sell online lol

I just checked out videos of Omikron. For some reason I had written it off in my mind as some kind of medieval style game like Wurm, or survival horror thing based on the cover. I guess I couldn't have been more wrong (cyberpunk adventure game), this game looks pretty cool! A little ominous it didn't get good reviews though... Tell us how it is

I actually always thought it was pretty cool never having relied on the internet to order games. There was something really cool about finding something amazing at a pawn shop (like my PAL Shenmue 2 find!) or garage sale. Also, when I first got into the DC a few years back I didn't know much about any of the games so I would often pick them up at random. Incoming tends to get bashed pretty hard but I found it for a buck and its actually one of my favorite games on the system. I never would have ordered it if I sat around and read reviews and I think that's part of the appeal to doing things the way I was :D . Using Amazon and such is much more efficient and I truly believe I've scoured half the state finding everything Dreamcast related I can but I'm going to miss the hunt.

Btw, I just checked out CEX and it didn't appear to have Dreamcast games sadly :( . Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place though? Let me know because the site sounds pretty cool

$30 :D it was new in the box! The guy had to know it had some value as he had certain games in a display case (this being one of them) but I'd say 30 for that was a steal. At the time I was only 16 (I guess I've been dreamcasting for 5 years now) so I couldn't order games online easily and I thought I'd never be able to play the sequel. Best fucking day ever
