Do emulatorcucks really believe they're good enough to beat retro games?

>Inaccuracy proves it'd be a different result on hardware

>Save States

Oh, you say you're not using save states? Bullshit. The functionality is there, and its tempting. Same thing applies to virtual console. YOU FAGS USE RESTORE POINTS AND SAVE STATES. DON'T ACT LIKE YOU'RE FUCKING GOOD AT RETRO VIDYA IF YOU EMULATE.

>> No.2638626

Okay.

>> No.2638629

As much as I agree, this thread is pointless.

For most, 'good enough' is all they need. The built in cheating is just icing in the cake.

A gamer on real hardware is a totally different kind of person compared to emulator people. They will never see eye to eye.

So much shitposting in one single post... impressive.

I grew up on these games and emulate now out of convenience. It makes no difference to me at all what a bunch of random people on the internet think about how I play games. I play them for fun.

If you need to stay away from emulators because you're so tempted to use cheats and savestates that you couldn't handle even having the option there teasing you, then that's your problem not mine.

I'm just playing video games because I have fun doing it, and emulating is by far the most convenient way to do that. Have fun being upset about the opinions of people you'll never meet! :)

I honestly feel bad for collectors. If you could just collect your games and be happy it would be great. But you sit there on ebay hoping and praying for a sweet deal to come along so you can finally play Super Castlevania. But it drives you up the fucking wall that there are people out there just plain having a blast playing it.

What's wrong with them, that they don't need this piece of authentic plastic? How can they simply enjoy a game for it's intrinsic fun? It makes no sense to you, makes you froth at the mouth with rage.

But someday you'll show them. Someday you'll get your copy of Super Castlevania, and then you can put it beside your other games and take a photo of it all. Imagine the looks on their faces then! Ohh yeah you'll show em!

Never give up, OP! Shine on, you crazy, crazy digimon!

The real problem is people calling those who play games differently than them fags and retards. Every time a thread like this or a comment about emulator-fags gets made, it mostly just ensures that the next time one of them sees a collector thread that they'll go in there and crank their nipples till they rage.

I play on both and think there's FAR too much emphasis on both emulators and real hardware around here. All that really matters is games, and threads that are actually about just games are often quite good. But as soon as anything like this is brought up by either side it always just ends in a huge bitchfest.

You don't have to savescum you idiot! I rarely use them anyway and when I do it's because the game has no save function and I don't feel like beating it in one sitting. As for inaccuracy? What a joke. Try using good emulators like BGB, Genesis Plus, or Higan with a USB controller and it won't feel any different from playing on a console.

I couldn't agree more. People who want to shell out money to resellers so they can build a collection and people who just want to play games are completely different.

I'm all for people playing their games any way they want to, but one of the main reasons I emulate instead of using original hardware these days is so I don't have to look at a CRT screen anymore. I respect that there are actually people who like them, but they've always hurt my eyes.

Savestates only add. I always avoided normal enemies since I was a kid so that the boss was as difficult as it could be. There are games that are absolutely impossible without grinding, though, as you realize with savestates: even if they aren't turn based, just by moving to one place instead of other or choosing a command the game can put in you checkmate and bullshits its way through. A ridiculously underleveled play that lasts several hours, with an x amount of save states is much more satisfying, as there are endless possibilities... and then you find out who that isn't true. As long as I can win and there is a challenge I'll do that, forehead cancer

Okay, are you proud of that? I think we have this discussion 7 times a day, never once does it matter. I emulate games I cant afford and I may occassionally use save states, nigga I got shit to do why go back through the whole fuckmothering game? I don't use walkthroughs on adventure games, I don't look up tips for dodging shots in shmups, I just play the damn games.

You're weird. Who gives a shit. So some fag cheats using savestates and "beats" a hard game. He doesn't get the same sense of accomplishment, because he knows he cheated/fudged. No one else gives a shit, because no one ever gives a shit unless you're an e-celeb,

So who gives a shit? This coming from a guy who has 12 retro systems hooked up to a crt tv.
