Why are people ok with buying $400 graphics to play 2002 games when original hardware does so flawlessly at 1/10th of the price?

>>12792392Because PCfags are just a different breed of buyfag.
>>12792392You can still buy a Titan Xp for $200 and it will play any game you want with little effort, throw in some AM4 processor for like $80 and you're most of the way there. This shit is only expensive if you're retarded and don't know what to look for.Pre-00's tech is a different story and the prices people want for even garbage like an ati rage is ridiculous.
>>12792392Emotion engine is simply too advanced, emulator trannies can't even harness 10% of the ps2's total power
>>12792392a pc can do more than just play ps2. so the money spent on it has more value.otherwise, if you really only want to play ps2, then yeah, it's not a very good investment.
>>12792392yes dude, i ONLY built my pc to play PS2 games
>>12792476>>12792483>a pc can do more than just play ps2. so the money spent on it has more value.this cope of an argument only worked 20 years ago. Everyone already has 3 or 4 older computers and another 3 or 4 smartphones that can do the same job.Another overpriced computer does not add more value. the PS5 does not add more value because it can play DVDs
>>12792486>Everyone already has 3 or 4 older computersgood for them>playing retro games on a smartphonekill yourself
>>12792489incredible media literacy and reading comprehension
>>12792392blame meme emu devs like Higan furry dev who kept insisting you need at least quadcores to run SNES "accurately" with no bugs.also back in the 2000s, you can build PC gaming rigs with just 300 USA bucks. and with inflation of prices of hardware, that 300 bucks is worth more like 600 bucks now. so it's still reasonable IMO in terms of cost, but stupid in technical CPU speed terms.
>>12792486are you the dumbest guy on earth or something? nice to meet a celebrity
>>12792392I literally run my ps2 emulator off an $80 refurbished duo core. But yeah if you want to upscale 5x and put ani filtering 16x you need to invest, or to play newer Gen systems obviously.
>>12792392If the requirements are that much higher now then you are not playing a 2002 game.
>>12792486>Everyone already has 3 or 4 older computersYou are very very out of touch.
>>12792392What flavor of poor are you?
>>12792392You retards complaining realise that this isn't a hard cut off point right? Unless you're hardware is so antiquated that it doesn't support instruction sets and APIs that have been around for over a decade you'll still be able to run it. I guess you still want them to have support for CPUs with only SSE and GPUs with only DX7.
>>12792392A 750 ti is only like $25.
>>12792392original hardware you have to buy the games, usually at crazy markups thanks to collectorfags. PC you just download the games from a ROM site.
>>12793772>CPUs with only SSE and GPUs with only DX7.DX8 static lighting is peak. but even that wasn't really needed for PS2 games though?but no, you still should not need a later-gen i5 or i7 CPU just to run PS2 games which don't even use all the features of DX9 IIRC?
>>12792392my pc cost like 2k but i dont emulate on it
>>12792392Why do retards not realize minimum specs are just what they had on hand to do testing rather than the truly required minimum? You really expect them to hoard 20+ year old PC parts to appease your autism?
>>12795709>You really expect them to hoard 20+ year old PC parts to appease your autism?yes
>>12793382>also back in the 2000s, you can build PC gaming rigs with just 300 USA bucksno you couldn't
>>12794783you can also download those games and dump 4 of them on an 8.7gb dvd disc and play them for free on original hardware
