/vr/ - Retro Games

>Dolphin emulation is perfect

Why do people need to buy Mamecube games?

>>7023591
I dont know. Buy toilet paper in masses buy gamecube games in masses? Humans are fucking dumb

>>7023591
To resell at obnoxious prices that literally no one will pay except for retarded collectors.

Makes sense.
If you were 8 in 2001 and got a Gamecube for christmas on release year, you're now 27.
And people in their mid 20's to mid 30's are the ones actually paying absurd prices for used video games and hardware.

>>7023585
not retro

>>7023603
Why the gamecube games though? Why not PS2 or Xbox?

>>7023609
PS2 games have a massive amount of supply and Xbox games have a complete lack of demand.
Nintendo is expensive just for the logo on the box no matter what the supply/demand is like.

>>7023585
>expecting redditor coomlectors to stop buying ridiculously overpriced games
They like their high pricetag, it gives them a dopamine rush when they spend $150+ dollars on a game and can take a picture for upvotes. Not even making this up. You can look for yourself if you really don't believe me.

Its sucks because Paper Mario was the only game missing that I wanted. Now its over 120 dollars just the disc.

>>7023609
The PS2 has its share of bullshit prices. Mainly survival horror titles.

>>7023591
Between this a hacked wii theres absolutely zero reason waste money on gamecube

>>7023665
What if I really like cubes though?

>>7023665
Cables and joy pads? Is the power supply compatible?

>>7023663
This. Check out the price for Blood Will Tell.

I guess that one guy was right, there are no GameCube games after all.

>>7023605
This bullshit argument is used every time, but in reality is just scalpers jews artificially manipulating the price.
You sound like a scalper jew yourself.

>>7023696
Wont be any if the bulk buying keeps up.

>>7023665
The box art, the manuals have you ever sniffed a game Manuel of a just opened game from 2001? Best feeling as a gamer.

>>7023591
>Dolphin
>perfect
It has some game specific hacks for major titles that are just about playable. Perfect? I can tell you right now that Dolphin will literally never be cycle accurate, because it was never designed to be. Someone else will come along in a decade and completely BTFO of it.

>>7023665
This is the real answer. Nintendont is 99% compatible, runs perfectly, offers enhanced video options, you don't even need memory cards, and plugging in a GC controller is trivial given it's got 4 fucking ports.

The only issue I've run into is that you have to unplug and then re-plug in your bongos to play Donkey Konga without the menu spinning like crazy.

>>7023770
Enjoy your horrible banding on real hardware because nintendo designed a shit system with its low color bandwidth framebuffer.

>>7023778
>>Enjoy your horrible banding
I will. It doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as the constant glitches in Dolphin, it's just something that's highlighted on a wall or two every so often.

>>7023591
Who owns a desktop pc anymore?

>>7023796
Shut the fuck up asshole, you can emulate it on the wii

>>7023797
Where do i get a hacked wii? How much do they cost?

>>7023801
You buy a regular wii, and then you spend a whole 2 bucks on an SD card. Then you can either use a hard drive, or I personally like to boot from a USB microSD stick instead for better seek times, because who needs more than 100 gigs of wii/gc games at one time?

gcloader is in stock so just buy that

>>7023801
I bought 4 wiis for $30 each at a pawn shop about 4 years ago. GL now lol

>>7023801
And while your at it, buy a 2ds and a flashcart

>>7023817
What? What the fuck is all this goobldey gook garbage? What are you talking about?

>>7023585
They don't need to.
These games where in shorter supply than its contemporaries in the fist place, aren't available to play on most other systems, and haven't had re-releases. All that ups the price for any well received title

>>7023962
I mean, if you're too stupid to look up a softmod, you're probably too stupid for anything but collecting game cartridges.

>>7023725
This but with Megadrive and former games

>>7023585
I blame pic related. Despite the fact 4 of the 5 top players basically quit the game it's more popular than ever.

No please keep going, there's nothing funnier than seeing nintendork zoomers seeth

>>7023591
Dolphin keeps updating and breaking shit, it's obnoxious.
I just tried to play Metal Arms Glitch in the System again and the most recent build broke all the cutscenes, it's just black video now fucking obnoxious, they used to work

I don't understand, you can literally make a computer with Dolphin, which is better than the native Gamecube, inside a perfect replica of a gamecube plastic box and play all the games you want using any controller.

Retrogaming for non collectors is just the dumbest thing on earth and truly mark of what capitalist fetichism is all about.

>>7024067
Dolphin is cool, Nintendont is cool, even installed a GC Loader PNP into a gamecube is cool
But I prefer poppin in my disc, getting a big old whiff of that manual, crackin a beer and pushing that amazing-feeling on button.
Otherwise I don't want to bother, you know?

>>7024067
Soul vs Soulless
In time you will learn.

>>7023585
modchip or ODE

>>7023968
wii can do gc

No way I still need Geist and Double Dash.

this shit is still so funny considering how cheap gamecube stuff used to be. even wiis are being sold for more than $20 nowadays. don't fall for memes, if you didn't care for the gamecube before you shouldn't spend a cent on it now.
>>7024067
>which is better than the native Gamecube
dolphin is excellent, but fuck no

>>7023591
>Dolphin
Sorry but I don't partake in trannyshit.

>>7023585
I already bought the games I wanted before it got expensive.

>>7024227
I only had Paper Mario left. But I did buy Luigis mansion, pikmin 2, and viewtiful joe unopened years ago.

When did prices jump so high? Is swear just a few years ago all the average retro game was like 10-20 bucks. God it hurts so much knowing how many games we sold for next to nothing.

>>7024270
According to google it was because of the pandemic.

>>7024270
Got this unopened for 24 dollars.

>>7023663
>Mainly survival horror titles.
Would you believe I actually use to own Kuon? Probably sold it to trade it while scrambling to get weed money.

I just don't fucking get it. I saw a disk-only copy of Pikmin at a local store for 40 bucks, not to mention the two boxed copies of melee for 50 each. Why? I almost thought that it's probably all the meleefags capturing every single last copy on earth for eternal slavery in their sweaty tournaments.

>>7024270
Nintendo tax.

Be thankful that it's trivial to get these games working off of HDDs and shit instead.

>tfw 150+ cube collection from back when they were piss cheap
Feels good not being a moronic bandwagoner

>>7024349
The funny thing about it is that I'm sure most of us owned these games multiple times but always found a way to get rid of it. I probably had smash bros 3 or 4 times throughout my youth.

>>7024372
Most of those 150 are still worst nothing. Its the first party games. The dumb fucks want

Do you think now that most games can be bought digitally that it will prevent ridiculous prices moving forward?

Post the prices that break your heart

>>7024404
Bringing the games to the switch will stop it.

>>7024386
Game hoarder here. I never sold any of my games. For these reasons:
>I might want to replay the game later
>I don't know how hard it will be to track down in the future
>I like occasionally being reminded of games I forgotten
>I saw how hard game resale stores would rip you off and it made me adverse to selling games

>>7024464
Wish i had your foresight. never found another copy of Phantom Crash in the wild, and if i want a sealed one it's like, $60 on the internet.

>>7023585
just buy a wii and hack it

>>7023817
>>7023962
>anon can't understand the concept of using an sd/usb for storage after softmodding a system
based retard. luckily for you modding a wii is pretty damn easy.

>>7024160
>aren't available to play on most other systems
>most

>>7024270

Isn't it funny how people are always surprised by this again and again.
It's always the same, it happened with SNES games, it happened with N64 games, it will happen with GC games. Always the same story.

I was more of a racing game guy so I went with F-Zero GX, Double Dash, Air ride, and Road Rage

>>7024410
This one is crazy to me because I got WOTS2 in Very Good condition back in early 2017 for $19. No fucking clue why the scalpers suddenly got greedy on this game. It is a really good game, though. Actually one of my favorites 2bh.

>>7024521
Anon, sealed for $60 is a fucking steal. Funny that you mention Phantom Crash. I got its sequel Steel Lancer Arena International sealed for $40 earlier this month. Another really fun game that's become one of my favorites.

>>7024410

Ima sell out. Too expensive to really keep.

>>7025324
Forgot pic related

>>7025326
Man, I can see I didn't miss out not playing Gamecube games.

Why are some games worth so much more than others? Is it just rarity?

>>7025397
Look up "supply and demand"

>>7025326
>RE2 GC
>RE3 GC
>MGS Twin Snakes
Those games alone are worth more than everything in that entire stash put together.

>>7025397
WTF I have this game the original not the greatest hits how the fuck is it that expensive

>>7023585
Are any of the offbrand gamecube controllers worth getting?
Namebrand ones seem harder to find, I'm not trying to go a smash tourney or anything I just wanna play luigis mansion and metroid.

>>7025619
Because we don't get true nigga games like that anymore.

>>7025470
I mean my Gotcha Force and Cubivore are each worth more than those 3 combined.

>>7025686
Jesus. I didn't even realize.

>>7023608
based

>>7023969
Burning out your dopamine receptors when you have access to every game ever made

>>7023609
>Why the gamecube games though?
Because many nintendo fansois actually believe pirating games is the most evil thing EVAR and will actually buy this shit up.
For those of us with common sense we use a hacked Wii with Nintendon't and a USB thumb-stick loaded with 30+ games gotten for FREE from the torrent found on the internet archive magnet link.

>>7023608
Dilate

GC Loader, Dolphin or Nintendont on a Wii with the 480p fix are the only options worth mentioning. If Gotcha Force is actually your favorite game you ever played, want a physical copy and got the money... Well, go for it. Anything else is just being a braindead retard.

>>7023613
This. Even notable third party games on Gamecube have higher prices than the PS2/Xbox versions which are usually superior.

where can i buy a gamecube for a none fucked price

How much could i sell TTYD with the box and manual for? Tried it and hated it.

>>7023613
>Nintendo is expensive just for the logo
Delusional

>>7023641
Don't worry; Thousand Year Door is shit anyway

>>7023613
Literally this.

>>7026259
Its the best Mario RPG game, cope.

>>7026250
It's true.
For some stupid reason, anything with a Nintendo logo on it is artificially inflated. The little USB-outlet charge adapter shit included in the NES and SNES Classics has official Nintendo™ branding and those little fuckers will sell for gold coins in 20 years.

Unless the market finally fixes itself.

>>7026250
lmao u fuckin serious m8?

>>7023608


>>7025764
'nOt ReTrO' jfc shut the fuck up. When are you and the retard mods on this board going to realize just because something isnt 20 years old doesnt mean it's nOt ReTrO...fucking retards.

>>7023613
Many who buy/play on Playstation aren't a true fan. Many "fan" of Sony don't know history and legacy of Playstations.
Like you says Xbox, nobody care because MS has short history than others.

And you forgot Sega, old history and as expensive as Nintendo.
Op talk about Gamecube but the same game on Dreamcast are 10x more expensive than on Playstation 2.

>>7026335
>just because something isnt 20 years old doesnt mean it's nOt ReTrO.
Guys I think it's trying to communicate. Can you rephrase that, retard?

>>7023969
Fuck you nigger. Burn out your fucking dopamine receptors when you have access to every video game ever made.

>>7026321
>unless the market fixes itself
the market is working fine, stop being retarded and get more money.

>>7026384
Calm down boomer there's about a dozen GC games worth playing

>>7026250
>He's never heard of the nintendo tax

>>7026390
>stop being retarded and get more money
You dumbass. Spending money on shit that's not worth what is charged for it is how you get poor in the first place.
It's no wonder so many people in our generation(millennials) can't afford healthcare.
GOTTA BUY PRODUCT THEN GET EXCITED FOR NEXT PRODUCT!

You just KNOW those stupid Game & Watch SMB things Nintendo is coming out with soon will be scalped for $500 a shot.
OMFG MARIO AND NINTENDO! Fuck my diabetes for being a fatass, I MUST HAVE CHEAPLY-MADE MARKED-UP PRODUCT!

>>7023665
game boy player

>>7026453
mGBA blows it the fuck out of the water, friend.
Unless you're doing link-cable stuff.

>>7026453
Can't the Wii play gameboy games? Can the game boy player even play romhack fixes of GB games? Even the Memeberry Pi can

>>7026457
>>7026458
mGBA is an emulator. game boy player isn't. simple as.

>>7026462
There's no difference. You are not a Kryptonian or Saiyan, despite what you might think. So there's no real debate here.

>>7026462
No one asked. But since you brought it up, is there a single noticeable difference in any good game?

>>7026462
>game boy player isn't.
Wrong.
The game boy player is hardware emulation.
It's the same as the MiSTer.
It emulates at a hardware level. It does not have the same hardware as the GB Advance.
mGBA is software emulation, and the GC GB player is hardware emulation.
They're both emulation, simp.

>The instruction manual for the Game Boy Player specifically mentions that "original Game Boy Game Paks may have display or sound problems,"
Yikes!

>>7026447
If you can't afford it, you shoudln't be allowed to have it. retard.
I have money because I work hard, and I spend it on my video games.

Retards like YOU think the market is "broken" just because you can't have what you want AT ALL TIMES.

I SPIT on you. I OWN you.

>>7026474
Not him, but Tbqh there's very few reasons, but just to play Devils advocate.
Link Cable support so you can technically play multi-player, trade pokemon, etc with other gameboys or even another gamecube with a GBA player.
Specialty Gameboy games. People can and have played games like Boktai, Wario Ware Twisted, Yoshi Topsy Turvey, etc with their intended mechanics using the Gamecube.
Lastly probably just the ability to play using original cartridges for nostalgia.

>>7026486
That's because the software disc they shipped with was shit. Just use GBI.

>>7026447
That's what you fucking deserve Nintendrone.

>>7023608
what is retro changes over time, grandpa.

>>7026512
>>7026537
You faggots own nothing.
I buy cocaine, not games I can get for free. The only things of actual value are things that you can't easily get for free.
Gun, drugs, gold, silver, etc.
Even physical games can be had for free. Go to a retro game convention and pocket shit. The original devs lose nothing so it's all good!

>>7026582
Holy cringe.

>>7026585
I'll give you an opportunity to LOGICALLY counter me.
I like a challenge.

>>7025936
>Because many nintendo fansois actually believe pirating games is the most evil thing EVAR and will actually buy this shit up.

this but unironically

i've talked to a lot of nintendo fans and most of them still look down on piriating because "its not the real thing" or "it's still legally wrong" or the WEIRDEST reason being "well its still piracy, waht would nintedo think?" which REALLY confuses the shit out of me

disney moms and nintendo man children are the same thing i stg

>>7026970
I'm a nintendo fan myself but FUCK their corporate bullshit and artificial scarcity and the nintendo tax.
Not paying that kinda money for stuff made out of mass-produced materials by people making less than $40/day.
I can respect the dev teams and hate their corporate masters.

>>7026335
imagine being this left wing

>>7026335
>nOt ReTrO
it's not ironically funny to type like a faggot.

There's several reasons for this phenomenon.

1. Nintendo games retain their value pretty much forever and are always in demand, even decades later.

2. Market share. The Gamecube sold slightly less than the Xbox, SIGNIFICANTLY less than the PS2, and quite a bit less than its predecessor, the N64. Point is, it wasn't a very successful system. With less Gamecube owners there were also less people buying Gamecube games, so there's just not as many games in the pool that could be in the market.

3. Youtuber-fueled retro collecting mania. There's shitloads of popular collector channels hyping the hoarding of old games, and with it, raising prices across the board.

4. Lack of alternative ways to play and people who grew up with Gamecubes being old enough to start feeling nostalgic about their childhoods. The vast majority of Gamecube games have never been ported or remastered, and there's a lot of nostalgia among people in their 20s and 30s for them, who now have disposable income to spend on non-essential things. The only options for them are emulation and original hardware, and since a lot of them are too stupid to emulate, they're just gonna re-buy the shit they had as kids.

5. Not many people are selling. This goes back to 3 & 4, but people who are still sitting on their Gamecube collections are largely doing so with purpose. It's their collection, dammit. Since there's not a lot of games actually on the market, prices are staying relatively high.

>>7026970
It's illegal because it's immoral. You shouldn't be able to get anything for free that's supposed to cost money.

>>7026190
It's fucking $50 for just a non-functioning disc right now. Get it in before the price drops like I've been praying for.

>>7026436
Aware of the Nintendo tax, but I know and acknowledge the real reason for it, not just the made up reason that clueless nerds run with

>>7027191
etsy are selling some that work for like 40-55 dollars

>>7027046
>since a lot of them are too stupid to emulate, they're just gonna re-buy the shit they had as kids.
You're right that a lot of people are too stupid or unmotivated to emulate, but it's also true that original hardware is superior, even though that's often not the driving factor for many

>>7027205
What is the real reason because I don't think Nintendo has any direct involvement with person to person sales or retro stores.

i know how to emulate and where to get my roms, nor do I think piracy is "wrong", but I still prefer original hardware. What does that say about me?

I play GC games on Wii U with Nintendon't with my GC controller.

>>7024298
>5 years ago

>>7027379
Fuck, don't even remind me of this. I sold this game to >fucking Gamestop back in 2010 after I had beat it

I regret it ever since

>>7027046
>3. Youtuber-fueled retro collecting mania. There's shitloads of popular collector channels hyping the hoarding of old games, and with it, raising prices across the board.
That shit is what is really doing it. Collecting older games was a fun niche hobby for me about 10 years ago. Now I don't even bother. I'm pretty happy with what I have and anything I don't have, I just pirate.

>>7027397
Bad move man. Even 10 years ago, that game was pretty uncommon.

>>7027359
To go the ODE/flashcart route.

Chads sell their old games when they peak in price like right now and use flashcarts or homebrew to still play on native hardware

>>7027359
That you're pretty fucking based.

>>7026970
>its not the real thing
Well, that's a pretty fair point, honestly.

>>7027359
You probably just like the nostalgia of bringing out your old hardware. Not exactly a "unique" take.

>boy games are pretty expensive.
>hey if I just wait 5 years they should be dirt cheap and I can buy all of them for the same system.
>5 years later
I hate the retro market.

>>7024171
>tfw I have both of these

>>7023609
Because Nintendo

>>7027394
I know even 5 years ago that was a steal

>>7023609
gamecube is finally getting it's time to shine

>>7023585
Resellers reselling to resellers. Nothing to see here.

>>7026480
>The game boy player is hardware emulation.

You are a fucking retard lmao

>>7026265
>Its the best Mario RPG game, cope.
Wrong. It's not as good as 64, and then you could argue that Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story are better.

>>7023585
I once bought a used copy of Gotcha Force at gamestop. none of the stores in my area could get rid of theirs, and i just needed a 3rd game for their occasional bogo sale. plus, i trusted capcom's pedigree and the box appealed to me enough. years later, my pc could already emulate gc and just looked up ebay out of curiosity. ended up selling that one game for about $300

>>7026480
>The game boy player is hardware emulation.
>It's the same as the MiSTer.
That's not emulation, that's a clone. There is no such concept as "hardware emulation" when you are talking about videogames shithead. Stop talking about things you have no fucking clue about you zoomer spastic.

What games do you predict to go up in value in the future?

>>7032312
Everything

>>7032323

>everything

>>7026486
Any examples? I've never noticed any problems

When should I sell my collection? I just checked and I own several games over $50, and Fire Emblem seems to be reaching $250.

>>7023585
What happened?

>>7032508
Video games are not a good investment. If you want to make money just do stock options shit and leave the hobby alone please.

Should've bought more than one copy of Chibi-Robo back when it was considered shovelware-tier

>>7023585
No
As long as those idiots want to pay 75 for sunshine, ill sell it.

>>7026340
ESL, please go back word school

>>7024712
No.........
It was fucking covid, there was no reason for prices to jump like this otherwise.

>>7025326
Id toss shit like thps, spidermans and tales of symp, shit that isnt gc exclusive really.

>>7027397
Sucks.
I picked up a disc only copy from a chill dude last year for 35 on CL

>>7033428
Not him but nice argument faggot

>>7033459
Idk about the other ones, but Tales of Symp is arguably best on GCN since it runs at 60fps vs the Ps3 30fps and the Ps2 release never saw a release outside of Japan.

>>7033592
I see the subtleties of mockery are lost on the likes of you.

>>7033645
Well I'm tired of mockery on this forum. But who am I kidding this is 4chan

>>7033607
The PS3 version supports widescreen though.

>>7033645
Yeah it's super fuckin subtle

Retard

>2020
>not just having a modded wii with access the entire GC library for free
don't complain about price when there's a simple, free alternative

serious question, are physicalfags boomers? as in actual, technologically illiterate old farts?

why not just use Dolphin, or if you are that autistic about muh hardware, get a Wii and install nintendont on it?

>buying gamecube games
>not just downloading the 10 worth playing onto an sd card and playing them via nintendont
Lol... collectors..

>>7034757
>sd card
You mean external HDD, disgusting.

>>7034672

people who came of age in the pre-internet era have a sentimental attachment to physical editions and feel the need to have a tangible collection, even if it makes no sense logistically or financially

>but the steam strawman! you're just renting your digital games!!

nobody cares. games are dirt-cheap nowadays. if you're so worried about digital ownership, put a digital copy on a hard drive.

>b-but original hardware is 100% accurate! emulation is not!

that's true for only a couple retro consoles, the rest are emulatable to such a degree of fidelity that only an absolute pendant would take issue with it

>>7034672
>are physicalfags boomers? as in actual, technologically illiterate old farts?
No. I'm 22.

I bought Thousand Year Door for £5 second hand just after the Wii came out as I'd heard nothing but good things about it. Played it, didnt like it, sold it.

Now it's worth over £100, what the fuck.

>>7034835
You are a faggot

>>7033789
Jesus retard, obvious mockery of someone who missed obvious mockery and now you miss that too.

>>7034672
I have both digital copies and physical of games I like, just in case something happens to one of them.

>>7034672
> technologically illiterate old farts?
eh... I don't know if you mean actual boomers you're calling 4chan boomers old farts - 32-45 year olds are by far the most technologically literate generation because we grew up when you had to actually know and understand something about computers to use them. Nowadays it's all derr point with the mouse and click. Zoomers will almost never know anything about technology or how computers work unless they need to professionally. Actually boomers never played videogames. You a dumb child as your image also proves.

Actual*

I just buy the actual original japanese release and only play japanese games, those are cheap

>>7023770
The majority of games, even obscure ones which I play, run well enough with minimal effort.

>>7033447
Covid contributed to the spike for sure, but the difference who grew up with this hardware is reaching the age where they want to buy back their childhood. It's a little of both.

>>7023585
>Zelda Collector's Edition still locked ~$50
fuck you OP you had me hype

>>7023585
Why do you care? Can't you just torrent all of them at any time? How many are even gud?

>>7026340
The fuck? Playstation has always been more popular than Xbox solely because of titles instead of history and this was even before 2001. Crash, Spyro, Syphon Filter, Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo, Ace Combat series went to PS1 for home consoles, Na-Na-Onsha games, the first ever GTA games were ported to the PlayStation first, etc etc.

Xbox has a history of 18 years now vs the PlayStation's 25 and the retro series they have that still persisted past their original generation are Halo and.... Gears of War and.... Forza... and.... uhhh....

>>7036704
The best version of everything else is the Xbox strong suit. 480p support near universally. Xbox looks great on a 4k set but my PS2 looks like shit.

>>7029180
>Not exactly a "unique" take.
In nu/vr/ it is. Nearly everyone here is an emufag/flashfag now

>>7037101
If you're still buying retro games in 2020 you're stupid.

>>7036704
Gears of War wasn't on Xbox. Apparently Forza 1 was a late release for it though. Halo is the only real lasting series to come from the original Xbox.

>>7037101
>In nu/vr/ it is. Nearly everyone here is an emufag/flashfag now
The average /vr/ user is inept with technology. You can still use original hardware with mods to "play" the fucking games. I'm not paying 200$ for Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

>>7023585

It's "whoever" in this case. You attempted to sound smart but failed.

Basically. You're getting grifted if your buying retro games. Virtually no reason not to use a flashcart if you're not explicitly a collector.

You might want to use one even if you are because it's less stress on the hardware than constantly removing and inserting cartridges.

>Video games are not a good investment. If you want to make money just do stock options shit

If I sold Pokemon cards and my Gamecube collection right now, my ROI would be at 300%. I wish my stocks would do as good as that. You will attract investor money and you will cry about it. I know I will.

literally like $3000 in gamecube games in this image. i would sell it all

>>7037346
image all the cum spilled when collectors click order

or does that not happen until it arrives? Or both? Some while checking shipping updates?

>>7024067
I can understand anons collecting games they have nostalgia for, especially if parents or play destroyed the copy you had as a child, but collecting obscure shit you never played as a kid when you could just play a rom makes no sense.

Huh weird. i was just talking about how much I fucking love that game yesterday. I still have my copy. I literally just set up my OG Xbox just to play it.
I need to mod out the suicide caps though.

I also found my S.L.A.I. case while I was doing that.

>>7033268
Fuck off, I bought these games 14-19 years ago and I can sell them if I want. It wouldn't even harm you, since it'd just be increasing supply of old games in good condition.

lol

They only shoot their load when they get dragged into a bidding war and get to spend more than anyone has ever spent in history on a specific game.

>>7037071
Timesplitters looks better on PS2. The color and lighting are fucked on the Xbox on a lot of scenes.

>>7029205
If a game is even 15% under the last few eBay copies sold, you should always buy it.

I've let way too many games slip by me in the past and if they're even slightly obscure, they aren't going to get any cheaper.

You're just making shit up.

>>7037323
But your flat benefits will still be low unless you hoarded a zillion GC games

>>7038263
I never said it would harm me and I think it's obviously ok to sell your old games for whatever inflated current price. What I don't understand though is going through the hassle of hoarding thousands of them for decades with reselling in mind

>cherrypicks the same scene as always where wood textures look weirder on the ps2 version while in motion even though the sky color is too saturated and background explosion smoke effects are more glitchy on the xbox version
Just face it, the Xbox version was a port. The PS2 version was obviously the lead development version and no matter how much coping you do you can't rewrite history. At this point you're coming off as pathetic.

What a shit console lmao.

>cherrypicks the same scene as always where wood textures look weirder on the ps2 version while in motion
it's just exemplifying the difference in texture filtering that applies to every other texture as well
>the sky color is too saturated
negligible problem
>background explosion smoke effects are more glitchy on the xbox version
they look the same
>the Xbox version was a port. The PS2 version was obviously the lead development version
who disagreed with that?

I appreciate you guys going full autism on this. But even in games where they are about equal like pic related I still prefer the Xbox controller with nice triggers over the PS2 shoulder buttons for racing and shooting.

>>7023585
I was not able to afford much back then for the system, now I definitely cannot afford the games with the crazy expensive prices. I would like to buy up all the Gamecube games, but that is not practical at this time, so I enjoy what I do have, and will just have to emulate the rest.

Wish I had waited to sell my GC games till after corona...
