/vr/ - Retro Games

Whenever a friend says to me they really liked a game, but I find out they played it on an emulator, you know what I say?

I say "how do you know you liked it? You haven't played it."

And they haven't. They've played some artificial code which tries to replicate what the game is.

When someone tells me he liked a game he emulated, I ask "How do you know? You haven't played it."

And he hasn't.

What he's played is a soulless piece of code trying to replicate the game and this will never be the true experience.
