Dude the quality of the original game is not the issue, it's the low effort job they did with this collection. Everyone knows these games are brilliant, they deserved better for a collection like this.
Yea I'm no Einstein but I'm smart enough to not be gyped into buying low effort emulated collections for full price
But it is the issue, or one part of it. These games are still brilliant fun. People are willing to pay $60 to have these experiences, also portable, because they’re just that fantastic.
Likewise, the games play spot-on, and look the best they ever have in an official release. We can talk about emulators (and that really needs to be a two-sided conversation with criticism about inaccuracies, amongst other things) and critiques, sure, but that’s not what’s happening.
What’s happening is a gulf between rhetoric and reality.
Trash, lazy cash grab... meets player experience of enjoying a gorgeous, spot-on, optionally portable version of one of their favorite games ever. That frankly, most people are going to have a hard time telling the difference between it, and normal PC emulated versions.
You can give me the crazier PC executions and literal ports. But the crazier it gets, the more it can break, yeah? Or someone injects an art or texture style in, that doesn’t look right at all.
You guys want to criticize these ports (well, some of you. Most just want to fanboy), but you’re doing it in such an absurd, over-the-top manner, that I doubt anyone will listen.
>This collection could have gone further
>This collection contains beautiful, portable versions of classics, and is delighting players
Both of these things can be true.
