I'm so glad I got into emulating games. Actually buying physical retro games has gotten super fucking retarded. Why in God's name would Silent Hill 2 on PS2 be more expensive than an actual used PS2? Retro game collecting is absolutely moronic.
>>11824994 (OP)the huge price increase didn't happen till about 2019/2020 for this game. Before that you could find dozens of copies for maybe $10-15 at any used game store. I guess FOMO is a hell of a drug.
I sold my copy of Silent Hill Origins for PS2 for like 25€. I bet it's like 150€ now
I knew it would happen too, but I was just so sick of the coomlection bullshit. I don't wanna have to do with that shit. I say that while still recognizing that you can't beat playing the originals, emulator is nowhere, but OPL is pretty close. This game Silent Hill 2 has a pretty good PC port, I played it in the stone age on Pentium 4 and was a great experience.
As far as coomlecting goes, I'm mad that I'll always have that knowledge of what's rare and what isn't. If I see a copy of [rare game], I'll always go "oh shit profit opportunity". That pisses me off
>>11825072emulator is nowhere close*
>>11824994 (OP)post this in the emulation thread instead of wasting my time
>>11825078Yea I'm sure you haven't wasted years of your life here, it's the one second reading this in the catalog that did it
I bought a Japanese copy on Ebay, it's much cheaper than PAL (which comes in a horrid cardboard box digipak kinda thing which I don't want anyway). Now I just have to install MechaPwn without fucking my console up.
>>11824994 (OP)>tfw somehow I bought SH2 and 3 in late 00's for like $15 a pieceI think it was after the avgn made NES and SNES games big, but no one cared about PS2 quite yet. But yeah I just emulate everything now and it's great. I can play all the classics anytime I want!
Why would you emulate SH2 when you can upgrade the PC port with Enhanced Edition? Yes, emulation is always better than OG hardware, but you should ALSO check if there's a port with fan mods like this one does. Maybe if some of you idiots would simply Google "definitive way to play X" for more than 5 minutes you'd figure it out yourselves.
>>11824994 (OP)I bought this CIB a few months back. Not my problem poorfag
>>11824994 (OP)Not to mention both the lens in PS2 consoles that reads the disks and the DVD disks themselves are dying. People are paying 100 bucks for a PS2 game that won't even be readable in another 5 years or so.
Do all you loser ass collectors even play the games you buy or just keep them on a shelf?
>>11825135At least make it subtle next time.
>>11825209If I had to guess, I have a completion rate of around 10 or 15 percent.
