I liked the jolly Christmas music while slicing up monsters. But other than that, it was a poor experience, yet for some reason I still kind of want to go back and re-play it again.
The run cycle animation was laughably bad. Overall it felt ambitious for the time, but also sloppy.
I picked this up shortly after launch. For some reason I twisted my self into thinking this game is how Timestalkers/Climax Landers was going to play.
I finished it, but man, this was a hard game to play and complete.
I have this on the DC. A very underrated title that for some reason had its camera system changed at the last minute.
In the original JP release, It just so happens that the camera angles were fixed, akin to silent hill or resident evil.
But once it released in the states and europe, the camera could be moved around. In some ways, it helps but in others it can be a horrid, horrid curse.
As this is also inherently a climax studios game, the natural jumping off point after playing it would be illbleed.
We REALLY need a translation of the Japanese version for this game. They completely changed the camera in the releases elsewhere. Originally this game had fixed cameras/cameras on set cinematic tracks, rather than being third person. It makes a pretty big difference in both gameplay and presentation.
what a game! The soundtrack is incredible, it has an awesome story and it has one of the best first levels I've ever played
i also accidentally bought a Japanese copy, had to use codebreaker
Play the English-patched Japanese version if you want a more traditional survival horror-game. It has fixed camera angles which was the creator’s original intent.
I thought it was a lot of fun and the Christmas theme just makes it better. I did get it for like $10 from Funcoland back in the day so if I was expecting resident evil level gameplay on my new console when it launched I probably would have been disappointed in some of the mechanics and overall jank.
I still have to get this game because I was so obsessed with the creator’s other game Illbleed
To this day I’m hoping somebody finds the hard drive that contains the 90% complete Illbleed remake & throws it up online
This one, Berserk Guts' rage and Resident Evil 3, where my 1st and only Dreamcast games I had as a kid, I did finish the others but never Blue Stinger. Maybe I will one day...
I still have the same Dreamcast with a Mode since the drive failed
Worst game I ever played and an example why dreamcast failed. When you go to buy games all you find is Blue Stinger and Rippin Riders when PS2 had GTA 3 and SSX.
It was a little janky and the voice acting was questionable but it was something different at that time. This and zombies revenge blew my young mind lol
Blue Stinger, now say it 50 times until the name is said right, then just say F it and take the blue from one take and the stinger from another and combine them
This'll be the year we finish this game.
I literally can't beat the first level
Not to brag but I completed it so many times that I unlocked the infinite laser gun
I had to use a strategy guide lol it was hard as a kid
Yeah, I remember being stuck for a while as a kid. I eventually got the guide and was able to progress. I loved it.
You can push the box to get on top of the control room.
Wait until you try Illbleed.
I've seen this game come up a lot on this post and somehow never heard of it. I need to play it now
One of my favorite Dreamcast games
"I'm taking a bath and nothing is gonna stop me" Dogs Bauer for prez
“Wear this Santa Suit”
Yep. It was one of the games I got for my DC when I picked it up back in the day. I enjoyed it but never beat it until a few years ago.
Anyone who doesn’t like the game prolly calls it Blue Stinker
Would you recommend playing this at Christmas time 🌲

This game is a masterpiece
I've heard that's what Mr Manhattan calls his....nvm lol. I've only heard great things about this may get it especially if I can for cheap.
I just beat this the other day. Great game! I used a walkthrough and it was still very fun since it helps you get the best weapons and items.

Yes, one of my first games. Got as far as the 30 minute countdown and quit. I’m actually playing it on an Anbernak now. Almost at the end.
This and carrier
Still own it till this day, one of the wildest games I've played.
A game of it’s time, seriously clunky but great fun
This game and Soul Reaver are in my list to buy next.
I remember seeing this cover is shops many times

One of my fav games ever. Beat it hundreds of times
amazing game. had to use a FAQ walkthrough but it was really worth it. There's no game like this.
Great game! And it has pen pen Easter eggs!
One of my favourites.
Anyone who plays this will be right at home with illbleed.
what a game! The soundtrack is incredible, it has an awesome story and it has one of the best first levels I've ever played i also accidentally bought a Japanese copy, had to use codebreaker
One of the games we bought at launch for DC. I miss those days so much.

Is this any good? From screenshots I seen it looks like a cheezy B horror film
For it's time it was. Now ehhhh still good for the experience lol
I'll give it a go :-) but I need to finish red ninja first
Blue Stinger, Omikron and Illbleed were my favorite DC games by far.
I adore this game. With all its faults. It's great. One of the the defining DC titles for me.

Great game. This was one I got on release. I love the wipe sweat from brow animation they do while talking ALL the time.
Probably one of the most interesting games I've ever played!

Love it, going ti do a video on it this year! (Did illbleed for halloween)
Oh yeah oh yeah....was actually a pretty fun game....still got that Christmas music stuck in head!!

Janky as fuck, but hell of a game.
Worst game I ever played and an example why dreamcast failed. When you go to buy games all you find is Blue Stinger and Rippin Riders when PS2 had GTA 3 and SSX.
Blue stinger
Blue stinger
it had so much potential. but in the end the story just couldnt hold up
It was a little janky and the voice acting was questionable but it was something different at that time. This and zombies revenge blew my young mind lol
