It was only 200bucks!

What if it's a repro? They exist to take advantage of collector's like that.

what's wrong about collecting them?

Have you considered that maybe I just like collecting?

Fags seething over the fact they wasted 200 on an old game that they will play once and never touch again
Struck a nerve huh faglords
Can smell the regret from here lame ass faglords

No? My copy of Earthbound has retained its value. I still play it every now and then, too. It was money well spent.

Why are you so bothered by my hobby, user?

I haven't bought it, numbnuts. That's the point.
I want to, but 200 dollars is too damn much. I love the game and I've played it over a good few times. I just want to actually have it since I like it so much.

I still want the copy, even if it's a pipedream

Why so it can gather dust and show how much of a permavirgin you are?
Imagine actually believing that
You know it’s a waste

I know, but I want it.

lol this guy is mad because hes too poor to collect games LMFAO

You sound like a really miserable person.

But it's not? I still play it, and I could easily turn around and get all my money back. It's the opposite of a waste.

Why do you even care? Are you mad that Earthbound is too expensive for you? Do you feel like you're being judged for using emulators? I'm not judging you, user.

A lot of us were kids in the fourth generation of gaming.
We couldn't afford too many games, we'd often trade in games to get new ones, or in some cases the games weren't even available locally.
Earthbound never got a European release.

I find it funny how people are talking about 200$ as if it is a big money in this thread.

Seriously, $200 is not life changing

>Mention how 200 bucks is chump change
>Children and savings-lets come out of the woodwork to say "well, if you REALLY worked you would know that's a lot"
Fucking pathetic

You posted this thread only hours ago user, holy shit

Retroarch is shit.

Cope.

I went into a shop ran by a collector the other day, and he was flipping out when I told him what I had, and that I wanted to sell off a lot of my games.
I just used to keep games from childhood, or buy consoles cheap a generation behind because I grew up poor.
These retards live for this stuff. It's disgusting.
I sold a copy of Castlevania Chronicles for £75 when I got it for 8 at the end of the ps1's life.
Don't get trapped in your own life by your belongings.

Its an objective fact that program is just fucking trash dude. Use a real emulator if you're going to emulate, not some all in one load of bullshit.

Nice objective fact, got a source?

my thoughts exactly, it's neet jealousy

It's a lot when you consider the alternatives to playing this game.
Officially you could buy a SNES classic with it, and it be cheaper, or a 3dsxl/wii u with the download. Then there's emulation.
It's more that this sort of behaviour is death by a thousand cuts. If you buy stupid things at an unreasonable price like this, when there's alternative, cheaper options, do you really think he's going to make good decisions with his money?

Try using the piece of shit yourself and you'll see. None of its retarded cores are as fast or accurate as standalone emulators.

Ah, the famed source "dude trust me"

>Mouth Breather Smile
why do people openly celebrate homosexually, child-like, and embarrassingly take pictures like that?

You don't have to trust me, just dare to try and use it for yourself.

polbased and TRUMPpilled XDdd

actually my valuables are worth a lot more since they weren't burned in a fire lmfao

I am using it. It's in no way "slow" unless you're an absolute retard who uses the dolphin core that's in early alpha.

Any core has a standalone version that's better or just another emulator for that console that's better. It's really not worth dealing with the worst user interface I've ever seen for a computer program.

On a monthly basis that's not insignificant.
If you're budgeting month by month, that $200 for one thing means there's a lot of other things you aren't getting.

Lmao burgers and their wooden huts

>Retroshit

>muh interface
Ah, you're one of "those".

Attached: Untitled.png (1355x869, 52K)

What a person with a brain? Just use fucking Nestopia or FCEUX for NES.

Because? All you did so far is throw claims that standalone emulators are better, but you have absolutely nothing to back it up.

You don't have to deal with Retroarch's trash interface with regular emulators.

Is this the showing off thread?

Literally three posts above you is a screenshot of a normal Windows interface it has now.
And even if it didn't have that interface, you're only spouting opinions about UI aesthetics.

May I ask what it's like being over 30 and still a virgin?
Do you get angry or frustrated at the world for your lack of pussy or have you learned to cope?

>muh pussay
You'll get over your hormones eventually.

Why are you dodging the question user? Why are you trying to turn it onto me? Just answer the question.

Jelly much faggot?

You should be honored you got a (You) at all for a post like that.

>jealous
>of games you can get for free
>and play at a better quality than on any console
>from one system that doesn't require you to switch all the time
yeah im extremely jealous.

>keeps dodging the question
Why would I expect anything more than a faggot who's into weebshit

You can't even configure any of the settings in that. Its just a glorified launcher. The entire point of a good interface is being able to change the settings without it taking an eternity because the menu system is shit.

You seem awfully obsessed about where other men's penises have been.

so pretty much what you had to pay back then adjusted for inflation?

user I'm only going to ask you to stop dodging the question and answer it one more time. I'm just curious.

Every. Single. Time.
Why spend $200 for a game when you can get the ROM for FREE.

They are completely oblivious to their condition.

I think the point is more about the fact that user obviously has more disposable income then you and is therefor probably part of a higher socio-economic status

Don't worry user retrofags are literally deluded and always try to justify their expensive hobby by pretending anyone who emulates like a normal person is somehow beneath them.

>Not keeping your vidya in the fridge

>Earthbound fan plays Earthbound for the very first time

As a PC game collector, I don't go past $30 and will only do so for something that I find truly extraordinary. Otherwise, I'll do $10-$20 for a normal wear-and-tear box with everything if it's in my genres, with less if it's not boxed or is missing.

Unfortunately, thanks to eBay, everyone thinks that a jewel-case copy of Sims 1 is at least $90 dollars and other such crap. Thanks eBay for helping kill an entire industry.

kek

Japanese games are almost always cheaper than their Western equivalents if they're not JP-exclusive. It's especially handy for games like Super Metroid where it's literally the exact same ROM under the hood.

Doesn't bother me anyway. When you're a cripple, women don't dig you to begin with. More money for retirement and my hobbies. Enjoy the moment when you find your kid online doing a 420 trade for sex.

All the failure that followed the game itself was just astonishing.

Most games you play once and put back on the shelf, don't feel bad about it. Buy what makes you happy. Don't look for vindication from some assholes on a Mongolian basket weaving forum

>faglords
He just keeps saying it.

Dude, you're the only one seething here.

Not everything needs to be a debate, user.

if it sparks joy, then keep it

but the retrogame market is truly bloated and inflated that makes no sense, im pretty sure Earthbound was printed more than 500k copies, so its not that uncommon, its bawling how much people pay for it
