So over at /vr/ and /qa/, we're discussing sone possibilities of allowing 6th gen into the board.
However many people don't want that so we also came up with a compromise: /v2k/, a board to discuss games made during the 6th generation. I think this is a pretty good idea.
Tell those oldfags that people get old and they have become even older. 6th Gen is totally retro now. People are starting to pretend to like game from that era.
Bentley Davis
/vr/ is a better board than your cesspool
Juan Phillips
A whole board just for one console gen? That'd be like making a board just for one cartoon instead of just having a general on Cred Forums. Not worth it.
Angel Perry
>So over at /vr/ and /qa/, we're discussing sone possibilities of allowing 6th gen into the board. >However many people don't want that so we also came up with a compromise
so why the fuck is dreamcast allowed then?
Kevin Perez
>A whole board just for one console gen? We may include early 7th gen as well.
>That'd be like making a board just for one cartoon instead of just having a general on Cred Forums. Not worth it. This has happened before. Remember /mlp/?
Ian Rogers
>A whole board just for one console gen? That'd be like making a board just for one cartoon instead of just having a general on Cred Forums. Not worth it.
Matthew Jackson
how fucking autistic is the vr community that this is an issue? do those faggots still say the PS1 isn't retro while jackin their dicks to the dreamcast?
Christian Phillips
6th gen doesn't feel retro at all desu but making a board specifically for them sounds even stupider
i guess it might not harm /vr/ that much. the goal is just not to attract the faggot memers that only want to shitpost about hip new games right? if it didn't change the board's demographics much, it might be a good idea.
Juan Jenkins
Despite technically being a 6th gen console, the Dreamcast stylistically feels closer to the 5th gen and before (feels more arcade-y) than the 6th gen and after, not to mention it was released before 2000. That's why it's included.
Also, since the Dreamcast wasn't very popular, it doesn't attract these types of posts like the PS2 would.
Adam Watson
...
Ian Baker
that sounds like a dead board to me. maybe a little active at first but no way it isn't near the bottom of the list of active posters within like a month. is /vr/ really so busy it couldn't be allowed?
Aiden Cox
They should just allow it on /vr/, making a 5th Cred Forums-related board for such a narrow topic is nuts.
Jacob Foster
then go back there why are you here
Jackson Wright
>strawpoll.me/11249233/ >splitting a sub-board into another board This is a terrible idea on many levels.
Brandon Gomez
hi im the ps1 guy is the ps1 allowed in vr yet
Evan Allen
>Despite technically being a 6th gen console, the Dreamcast stylistically feels closer to the 5th gen
wow, honestly i have heard a lot of stupid shit but this takes the cake. i really hope you are baiting
Jordan Moore
Nigger what the fuck are you talking about? A new board JUST for 6th gen? Thats a terrible idea. If you hate Cred Forums just discuss 6th gen on /vr/. The place is so slow I don't think anyone would mind. Or you could just discuss 6th gen on Cred Forums.
Asher Butler
It does though
Robert Morris
Why do you faggots think you need such specific boards for everything? It doesn't really matter where you talk about GBA stuff. Here is fine and /vr/ is too. I'd personally lean toward /vr/ because I never see it posted here.
Seriously though, /v2k/ is a stupid fucking idea. If we're going to do that, we might as well have separate boards for each gen.
Noah Taylor
this just seems really fucking childish to me
Carter Sanchez
Sounds like autism
Samuel Wood
Should just make the cutoff 15 years.That way you could discuss 2001 games now, 2002 games next year, so on.
Kayden Walker
They should remove /vr/ and move all retro game discussion back to Cred Forums.
This place went to shit even quicker when /vr/ was made because most of the good threads were taken with it. Now we just fill the void with shitposting.
Leo Martin
Hey OP you should just ignore this place, it's a cesspool and most of the opinions on Cred Forums are regurgitated, flavor of the month nonsense. ALOT of these people don't even play vidya and rely off streamers and YT to create an opinion off one.
Joseph Miller
yeah, this is a pretty good (you) circus
Samuel Powell
/vr/ should allow more games as retro as the years pass. It's 16 years since 2000 now, there are kids that have grown up and are now thinking of games from that time as retro. this is why vr is unbearable.
Dylan Foster
GBA should be allowed because it uses retro technology, and carries on many old, retro traditions. Eventually the rest of the generation should be allowed too, but there's no need yet. it's still popular on Cred Forums, and could end up flooding the board. Wait maybe until 2020. Allow GBA now. For phone games, perhaps them too. They kinda share the primitive style. I mean pre smartphone games, btw.
Robert Morris
Isn't /vr/ a dead board? You should be begging for more views before they close you down.
Jace Cook
honestly creating a board for something as mundane and specific as that is kinda like creating a subreddit
Juan Fisher
This, pointless board splits need to stop, /vr/ was a shitty idea in the first place
Carter Collins
>This has happened before. Remember /mlp/?
Different circumstance. MLP had a really obnoxious and vocal fanbase that everyone else hated. /mlp/ is/was a containment board and even came with a special rule about posting ponies outside of it. I even got banned for posting a reaction pic that had a pony in the background once.
Brandon Allen
Protip, it's because /q/ and /qa/ and whatever other boards there will be in the same vein, are always just about the vocal minority/shitposters bitching incessantly about what they want and how they want their Cred Forums to be.
deletion fucking when, Hiroshimoot?
Jayden Clark
/qa/ was a mistake
Gavin Watson
except the /vr/ threads on here would die with the flood of shitposting that is this board.
Connor Hughes
As much as I like the idea, /v2k/ will never happen and that's a shame. An entire generation that never gets discussed.
Cooper Hall
>COMPLETELY missing my point
Christopher Lewis
moot mentioned he didn't like creating boards for this very reason. It creates subdivisions within communities that don't need to be created.
Nathan Martinez
delete /vr/
Brandon Morris
When was the PS3 launched? I'd say anythin up to then, since the PS2 is considered 'retro' these days
Juan Nguyen
my opinion is that 6th gen handheld stuff is far closer to classic stuff than 6th gen consoles, so they should be allowed
similarly, early 00's PC games are very dated and would not get discussed here but are a bankable offence to talk about on /vr/ (case and point, make a thread about Dungeon siege on /vr/, get temp banned, make it on Cred Forums, gets archived instantly with 0 replies) I feel niche early 00's PC games would suit /vr/ well, but I understand that allowing games past 2000 in would make stuff like Halo:CE Retro, so it's a tough call
Jackson Garcia
The whole point of splitting boards off from Cred Forums is to save discussion of those topics from the shitposting that's common in Cred Forums.
Caleb Howard
2006 was only 10 years ago user, like a solid ~15 i say
Josiah Price
but i've literally been banned for talking about the GBA on /vr/
Jaxson Williams
And New Moot has the complete opposite approach. One only needs to look at where he came from and how many boards he's introduced in the short time he's been here to see that he's doing the same thing he did back then.
Christian Foster
six years ago we still considered games from 1998 retro user...
Colton Gonzalez
I'm tired of cancerous autistic faggots that claim to speak for everyone else trying to make rules for this site. Fuck off already.
Evan Flores
Well then /vr/ and its mods sound like a bunch of faggots, and you should post about it here. Nobody here gives a fuck, and we'd probably even enjoy talking about GBA because muh collective nostalgia.
David Foster
Not by that much. It used to be more lighthearted but these days I feel like it's basically just typical childish Cred Forums arguments but with a retro flavor.
Easton Collins
no
Justin Gutierrez
Kek then why are you here acting like a child?
Andrew Reed
specific boards is redditt mentality (subreddits)
Landon Thompson
>/v2k/
This is the dumbest fucking idea ever. Just talk about those games on Cred Forums, stop splitting Cred Forums. It didn't work the first 8 times why would it work this time?
Logan Baker
>/v2k/ No
One decade does not warrant the creation of another board. Might as well make /v70/, /v80/ and /v90/ while you're at it, faggots.
/vr/ is more cancerous than Cred Forums is.
Chase Rodriguez
Where's the "fuck this shitty idea" option in your poll, OP?
Caleb Reyes
>Spliting up the videogame themed boards even more Why don't we just make is so each game has it's own board, no other site does it like that right?
Justin Martin
It really is. Slow boards with long persistent threads like /vg/ are as close to Reddit as we need to get in my opinion.
Michael James
It's not there so they can act like it's a popular sentiment when they inevitably repost the poll.
Jacob Lewis
This.
Democracy doesn't work as well as you think it does, especially on the internet. Internet polls get fucked with all the time.
Let Hiro and the shitty mods do they're job themselves without "us" talking about it. It's not that they know better, it's just better for the community.
Noah Thomas
This. We're just quibbling over the definition of "retro" and what's old enough. How pedantic can you get?
Jacob Wilson
Vr is fanboy elitist central
Jose Hall
Honestly /vr/ should just change along with the definition of retro. DESU there's no reason why discussions for platforms that came out in 2001 shouldn't be allowed there apart from the fact that the entire board is autistic. Pretty soon 6th gen will be 20 years old. 20 years is a long time. I remember in the late 90s people already thought of the 70s as "retro". By the early 2000s even the 80s had become "retro". Like it or not, 2001 will be retro sooner rather than later, and its time /vr/ accepts it.
Ian Stewart
6th gen shouldn't be allowed on /vr/ & /v2k/ shouldn't be created imo
Nathan Sanchez
It should be a set number of years before the current year Anything else is shit
Angel Gonzalez
that will go over horribly on /vr/ and the old posters will shitpost the fuck out of 6th gen threads if they allow it. i've been there long enough to know.
Ian Smith
Not worth it. You can easily discuss these consoles and their games on Cred Forums Besides eventually they'll be old enough for /vr/
Camden King
v2k is too specific of an idea created just because you don't want to share your board. /vr/ is glacial at the best of times already.
Colton Barnes
I dont understand why /vr/ doesnt already allow 6th gen Is it meant to be a retro video game board or a "only games i played in the 80s allowed" board?
Bentley Rodriguez
Get over yourself you pretentious fuck.
Xavier Long
>Is it meant to be a retro video game board This is how it's supposed to be in theory. >or a "only games i played in the 80s allowed" board? This is how it is in practice, and likely how it will remain for the near future.
Dominic Hill
pretty much. there's assholes there who even think psone isn't retro and shitpost to derail psone threads. no joke.
Thomas Turner
Because they are prissy assholes. Similar to Cred Forums.
Nathan Cook
>/v2k/ This is the most retarded thing since /vr/, holy shit. Moot was right, democracy does not work, Cred Forums needs to be a dictatorship, only the admin gets the final say. Too bad moot didn't really take advantage of his power.
Tyler Stewart
Cred Forums's elitism at least serves a purpose, and it does give at least some of the desired results.
Joshua Martin
t. thin-skinned baby
Even in Cred Forums's early 2010s dark ages, older games were always easily talked about. /vr/ is redundant.
Nathan Jenkins
>>>/reddit/
Ryder Scott
>/vr/ fags are autists who won't accept that systems other than their 70s-90s shit will eventually be considered old
Can't say I'm surprised. Just treat it like /his/ where only systems of a certain number of years in age can be discussed there; maybe 20? Or even 18 years to comply with the global rule about age.
Connor Brown
Not even that user, but what part of that post was worthy of a this is how you do it properly by the way, you memelord
Mason Hall
I hate to sound nostalgic, but I miss old Cred Forums. I remember the first time I went there, the community was really friendly and welcoming. I went again yesterday because I haven't been in a while, and the fuckers had a multi-part thread going about how all the new rules they were voting on, with a bunch of instant ban offenses.
They're so far up their own asses about "spoonfeeding" and shit that I imagine they're even more miserable bastards than we are.
Jeremiah Garcia
Forgot pic
Jacob Harris
...
Blake Martin
He is right.
If democracy worked, Cred Forums would be more shit posting.
Internet democracy doesn't work because some dumb fuck autist would rig the polls in his favor then we'd be stuck with more and more boards.
Josiah Baker
There is literally nothing wrong with any of that.
Elijah Perry
Did Cred Forums ever take over /his/ like they said they would?
David Gutierrez
I honestly never got the impression that most Cred Forumsirgins were actually miserable except for the unironic feelfag hordes of 2012
Jeremiah Watson
Unfortunately it's the latter. They try to disguise it as hatred everything the sixth gen supposedly introduced to gaming (big budget multiplats, online play, the modern FPS, etc.) and don't realize half this shit had antecedents in earlier gens. A good number of them are also literal manchildren who don't even think N64 and PSX are retro because they didn't experience it isn't "lel something only us 80s kids understand".
This. It makes even /vp/ look like a hub of activity. The catalogue looks much the same from one week to another. Threads can go for days without a post and not 404. It's just such a boring place because there is very little to say about these retro games that hasn't already been said countless times. The vintage game ads threads literally always have the same images posted over and over, likely by the same users.
Parker Gray
I remain convinced that thread's just a dedicated shitposter. I mean, just read the damn OP for the thread.
Austin Morgan
they arent retro you sonyger
Daniel Moore
>Video games are comparable to the history of man This nigga actually serious!
Hudson Perry
no we don't need another fucking vidya board, jesus christ
Tyler Carter
Cred Forums ruined Cred Forums, also moot and his rampant Naruto shitposting. The board never recovered.
Asher Bennett
thats ironic as fuck
Camden Morris
that's a really fucking specific board that's basically destined to levels of traffic, why not just keep their discussion to here or there?
Jaxson Robinson
no they're just intelligent, nihilistic and have a wicked sense of humor
David Morales
>this is the autism of the average /vr/ poster
Dylan Sullivan
I didn't say that at all. I said that there should be a certain amount of years before a video game platform or machine is considered "retro," so that we don't have to have this stupid debate every time another gen console is being considered to be added to /vr/.
Aaron Sullivan
I haven't been to /his/ since the early days but I remember most fags being hyped up for destroying Cred Forums's stormfag talking points. So I doubt it.

Tyler Bennett
You can already discuss talk about them here, retard.
Luke Murphy
Yes, that's functionally what happens.
Brody Wood
Or you can just discuss that stuff here so Cred Forums does not further devolve into shitposting
Ethan Parker
I realize this makes me sound like an elitist faggot, but if you want discussion without characteristic shitposting, maybe Reddit really would be for you? There are separate boards for everything, and the moderation is more strict.
Now that a site like WAIT exists to identify anime, asking for sauce is far less excusable. However, Google's reverse image search, which used to be great up until recently decided to start sucking a bag of dicks and isn't worth shit for identifying manga. One or two people asking for the source of a manga that's been posted in a thread and one person replying with that name instead of a bunch of people all dogpiling, calling for bans, and essentially posting "REEEEE SAUCEFAG/SPOONFEEDING!" is fine, and might even stimulate discussion. Not to mention that going to /wsr/ to make a separate thread, probably with the exact image posted on the thread in Cred Forums that you came from seems retarded and counter intuitive. Most of all though, and while I understand Cred Forums's to "teach a man to fish" mentality, getting mad at people for "spoonfeeding" to the point of making it an instantly bannable offense, is just obnoxious pedantry.
Dylan Walker
>another fucking board I want Reddit to leave for good holy shit. We don't need boards for every fucking thing
John Lee
You can talk about old games on Cred Forums too. /vr/ is for slower discussion on older games, and classic threads on Cred Forums usually don't last long if they're not about Sonic or Mario.
Luke Reed
Tough shit. This place is fucked.
Noah Howard

Adrian Foster
Just allow it on vr, Jesus.
Camden Russell
you're a fucking moron for trying to divide this board more, eat shit and die.

Dominic Jones
I have an idea. How about all you folks that hate Cred Forums so much that you won't even try to discuss video games here fuck off to /r/gaming or gamefaqs or something.
Samuel Hill
What is the 6th generation
Jaxson Wright
You know that won't happen, especially since many of the shitposters know how to ban evade. Mass banning sitposters would pretty much make shitposters have some kind of uprising and raid the board.
Dominic Clark
This
/vr/ get the stick out of your ass. 6th gen is old. it should be discussed there. the "NOT RETRO" shitposters on /vr/ are as bad as anything on Cred Forums. Pure, Distilled, Autism.
Jaxon Phillips
gc/ps2/xbox era
Asher Butler
1995-2005. Bring ACTUAL RETRO to /vr/, it's being ruined with modern gaming PS1/N64 shit.
Yes, PS1/N64 is modern gaming. Style over substance bullshit, it's the birth of what gaming is today. It's not retro and never will be retro.
End of fucking argument. You should all actually listen to someone that's been gaming since the 70s. Mid 90s was the beginning of the end and is not retro.
Dominic Thompson
You must have legitimate mental problems if you don't think everyone here agrees with him.
Dude. Listen to me. You're a fucking crazy person. Please get help before you hurt someone.

Kevin Hill
v should be current video games and video games in general, while posting games from previous generations isn't against the rules
vr should be any past gen system, including 7th, anything else is autistic and arbitrary.
Nathan Perez
I'm not saying it's a perfect defense measure on Cred Forums's part, but by and large it's definitely helped to slow the decline of the board over the years, even if the elitism has degenerated into a blind sense of superiority somewhat.
Wyatt Davis
>What is /vr/'s argument against including 6th gen? It wasn't around when I was a child so it's terrible and not worthy of discussion see
Landon Walker

/vg/ and /vp/ I fully understand but I genuinely can't think of any time where /vr/ has proved that it has a reason to exist.

Oliver Gonzalez
Not completely flooded with modern gaming bullshit. Sadly /vr/ still has idiot children that think Mario 64 and MGS were good games which is why /vr/ needs to be pre-1995.
People like you should be forced to play only pre-1995 games for a couple of years. Maybe you will gain some goddamn real perspective on games for once.
Jace Price
Shut the fuck up. All gens had good and bad games you asshat, not just the ones you grew up with.
Luis Stewart
I play pre-PS1 games religiously and you're still full of shit. Your argument is nothing but MY CHILDHOOD>YOUR CHILDHOOD which is quite frankly pathetic at your age.
Jaxon Sullivan
>Sadly /vr/ still has idiot children that think Mario 64 and MGS were good games which is why /vr/ needs to be pre-1995.
No. We don't need 5 fucking video game boards. /vgg/ and /vp/ were justified so that we weren't having literally the exact same threads dominating the front page every day. Maybe you could argue retro game threads never got much of a chance to shine here but that would be pushing it seeing as psx/64 threads still do fine here.
We can and do discuss 6th Gen games here all the fucking time without problems. We don't need you to "allow" our threads on your stagnant board just because you're getting bored.
Jace Roberts
If anything this thread has convinced me we need to destroy /vr/. You people are sad and I honestly feel bad for you.
Sebastian Sanchez
There are people graduating college who were not yet alive when the PSOne and N64 came out. You just come across as a bitter, out of touch Gen Xer who can't cope with the fact that not everyone lived your precious 80s childhood.
Jayden Myers
Maybe it's just my nostalgia talking, but I started going to Cred Forums in 2007 when they weren't nearly as elitist as they are now, and I think it was better then.
Like I said, there are more posts complaining about saucefagging and spoonfeeding than there are saucefags or spoonfeeding. /wsr/ could be made almost completely redundant by a sticky with a link to recommended anime infographics and/or a constantly running "Sauce Thread".
Leo White

Camden Moore
how much of a console tard do you have to be to seperate games into 'generations'
Lucas Cruz
That's stupid. Just wait for 9th gen.
Oliver Bell
Agreed. The 20th birthday of N64's American release is next week and PS1 is older than that.. Sounds fairly retro to me.
Joseph Russell
>/wsr/ could be made almost completely redundant by a sticky with a link to recommended anime infographics and/or a constantly running "Sauce Thread". Yes it could. Still wouldn't really matter though, we'd still have people begging for sauce because they can't read.
You're right that people bitching about saucefags are more annoying nowadays than saucefags themselves, but I view it as a necessary evil, one that at least tries to instill the maxim that an user should know how to fish for sauce on their own. And let's face it, the complete opposite situation is far, far worse for the board as a whole than what we have now, unless you like a flood of threads asking for sauce at all hours of the day.
Andrew Kelly

And another thing is fuckers that like to cherry pick threads. It's always fucking them.
Fucking penguin bastard.
Luke Adams
No one will believe me but I sent moot the idea and reasoning behind /vr/ so I've always felt like it's my child, I totally agree with you. Right from the start I said there wasn't much point in disallowing 6th gen. This /v2k/ thing is a terrible idea.

I'm not memeing when i say most of you in favor of more vidya boards would genuinely enjoy reddit more than Cred Forums. Not only do they have boards for specific generations, you have boards for specific consoles. Hell they have boards devoted to specific games.
David Rivera
""""""""""No""""""""""
Mason Williams
I cannot believe I have to actually explain this shit, but I guess since I'm talking to uneducated little children, here we go:
The point is that the average quality of the best games of pre-1995 is VASTLY better than the average quality of post-1995 games. Everything is 90% shit, but when you throw that away and compare what's left, games after 1995 really can't compare to pre-1995. 1995 and after are just not really done well because they know all they had to do is make a slick game to appeal to new gamers.
I'm so sorry I know more than you do, kids. You know, there is something to be said about listening to your elders, because they know more than you do.
Retro GAMING is more about what a game is than how old it is. It's about a time when gaming was more about the gameplay than appealing to people impressed by shiny bullshit and story with quickly done hacked on "gameplay".
Daniel Campbell
...
Joseph Cox
>MLP had a really obnoxious and vocal fanbase that everyone else hated. Not entirely accurate. It was definitely a split between the actual fans, and people actively shitposting on purpose because people were getting so mad at seeing anything pony related. Who's to say what the percentage on each side is, though I'd wager there were more shitposters actively trying to piss people off than fans of the show given just how widespread it was.
Thomas Russell
I bet you're the one they call, "Australia-kun" ya damn bastard, bet you're gonna post that pic of the sissy looking Jap singer. Damn bastard. Damn shitposting bastard.
Liam Smith
I don't have a clue what you're talking about, guy.
Hunter Cox
Only sane post in this thread.
If you can't handle the shit posting just go to reddit. Shit posting is what keeps Cred Forums running, it's the shitty life blood of Cred Forums.
Julian Rivera
You are the same exact type of person who bitches and moans about how all modern anime is shit and how many more gems there were in the past, and you give damn near the same bait reasons why.
Guess what user, the average quality of things has gone up over time. You just don't notice it as much due to the market being relatively more flooded with average vidya compared to how it was in the past.

Okay gramps, we'll all go back to playing fucking Frog Bog and shitposting about Intellivision and Atari instead of anything relevant.
Daniel Jackson
The 80's and early 90's were the golden age of shovelware, 80% of everything that came out was just an inferior clone of a better game.

/vr/ was a stupid idea from the start. Vocal minority crying because someone on Cred Forums insulted their favorite old game. "Retro" games weren't some kind of fucking plague hurting Cred Forums.
Charles Walker
its nice that this continues to be, to exist as this sole burning ember of sin, manifest of all that is wrong with board splits and general threads as a whole remember when the creation of that board was supposed to fix this place this was a board once
Gavin Roberts
thats so arbitrary and gay just put the 6th gen in /vr/ fuck what those guys have to say
Kevin Ross
Saucefags were never that bad. People ask for sauce on games here all the time. The reason it's not a problem on Cred Forums is because we don't freak the fuck out about it like a bunch of sekrit club spergs.
> It's about a time when gaming was more about the gameplay than appealing to people impressed by shiny bullshit and story with quickly done hacked on "gameplay".
And you're suggesting that games like Mario 64, OoT, Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot, and Abe's Odyssey weren't about gameplay, and didn't go on to transform the rest of the industry? You must be the baitposter people are talking about.
Matthew Taylor
Its not terrible over there but it doesn't have the speed of Cred Forums. Also why did they get rid of hebe?
Mason Lopez
>a board for games not old enough for the old games board but that you don't want to discuss with Cred Forums
Terrible.
Ian Powell
And this is why /vr/ is also just as shit as Cred Forums
Caleb Perry
Fair enough. Let me rephrase and say ponies brought out the worst in people wherever they were posted, so /mlp/ and the global rule were created not only to contain ponies but to disperse the anti-pony shitposters.
Michael Richardson
Too bad.
Parker Rivera
What are you talking about? We have old games discussion pretty often, especially M&M lately.
It just proves that /vr/ turned to shit
Leo Morris
At what point does "retro" stop? Does it just keep creeping onto another gen every time a new one comes?
Regardless, Cred Forums doesn't need to be split up any more than it already is. I have no issue talking about gen 6 games here when I want to so I don't see the need for another board for it.
Levi Allen
Hell people STILL talk about older games plenty on Cred Forums

IMO it's better than letting the board turn into a cesspool of 'sauce' spam like /gif/ or the other porn boards. Though I honestly don't know who even still uses those.

Vidya is far more accessible to the average faggot than Animu and Mango, largely thanks to both the language barrier for most weebshit, and how deeply video games have penetrated into modern culture. That accessibility leads to far more passing knowledge of the subject in question on average as well. As such, the average faggot knows a lot more about Cred Forums-type shit than they do about Cred Forums-type shit, which leads that faggot to ask a lot more entry level questions about anime and manga than they would about video games.
It'd be like if Cred Forums had threads asking what a Playstation is, and people replying seriously to it. Shit that's so blatantly obvious to anyone with even a passing familiarity with the shit in question that it's stupid to even ask about it. That's not to say there aren't times where it's more acceptable to ask for sauce, especially now that Google Reverse Search fucked itself in the ass, but by and large most saucefags tend to ask simple, entry level questions that can easily be answered by a simple Google search.

Your shit board gets like 10 posts a day, please realise that nobody gives a shit about you lot and having a whole board dedicated to a single generation of games is pants on head retarded
Jaxon Kelly
I care. I love older games that AREN'T the ancient technology that /vr/ likes. Probably just as far back as the SNES. So post-2000 stuff is some of my favorite stuff, but it's not allowed here or in /vr/.

So talk about them on Cred Forums? No one is stopping you from making a thread.
Benjamin Morgan
>IMO it's better than letting the board turn into a cesspool of 'sauce' spam like /gif/
My point is that it won't due to Cred Forums's very nature being different than a board like /gif/'s but there's really no point in arguing about it. Shit will never go back to the way I want it.
Fucked if I know. I don't want to ask on Cred Forums because I don't want to get shit on. Which says a lot about the climate of that board doesn't it?
Caleb Jackson
I can see the benefits of a CRT, really. But at that point it's just better to use a sticky for information. It shouldn't even get outdated like Cred Forums's headphone guides since who the fuck still makes CRTs

How about we just make /vr/ the discussion of games that are from before whenever they think "retro" ended.
Everything else goes on Cred Forums They can have their circlejerks and we can have our shitposting. It's pointless to make more boards that are going to die anyway.
Mason Myers
I've tried. Cred Forums doesn't want to discuss them.
Hunter Morris
Exactly. /vr/'s a slower board for discussion about retro/classic games. Don't see why it's an issue that new games start being added as they age. Who the fuck is going to only be talking about 80s-90s games in 2030?

Bentley Ramirez
I refuse to vote on this in the basis that /vr/ already exists and should just start accepting a new gen if they feel it's old enough to be retro. Making a new board will fix nothing, it will be a dead board and if anything it will only take away posters from /vr/.
This also pretty much has nothing to do with Cred Forums. This is a shitposting-home-board.

The problem I have with the 6th gen is that it could significantly speed up the board which could ruin discussion in some of the slower more technical threads.
6th gen does belong there though but adding it isn't necessarily as easy as it appears.

You don't need a seperate board for that shit. 6th Gen or even 7th gen isnt old enough to be considered retro, make your threads on Cred Forums. If you're interested in discussing it you'll find each other.
Gabriel Roberts

Matthew Myers
Christ, this thread is proof why I'm glad /vr/ is a thing. It's been 3 years already, get the fuck over it. /vr/ has proven to be a nice and useful board that actually promoted good video game discussion thanks to it being slow, even if the entire place has gotten more of that shitposting "culture" this year then ever before.
6th gen stuff definitely doesn't deserve to be in /vr/, but a bunch of you fags keep bitching about how you want 6th gen stuff here, so I don't see anything wrong with a /v2k/ board for 6th gen. Although If I were running the site, I would wait a few years, then I would split 5th and 6th gen gaming from /vr/ and give them their own board
Josiah Kelly

Hudson Thomas
That's a good thing, if they give way to you faggots, you'll start posting all types of bullshit. Seems the people who didn't want Dreamcast in /vr/ were right.
Nolan Russell
/vr/ has gotten pretty hostile to the 6th gen because people are constantly spamming the board about the rules. They assume any thread with a 6th console in the OP is some guy trying to start another meta-thread/argument.
Levi Garcia
Nah, those peeps were in the wrong. DC launched in 99 and for all intents and purposes competed with the N64 and PSX. The vast majority of early multiplats for the DC were also on the N64 and PSX.

Caleb Peterson

Tyler Butler
Did you fuck off to Cred Forums, though?
Brayden Butler
The real reason is that moot or the mods made a specific exemption for it. Originally it wasn't allowed in /vr/ and people were happy with it like that. People kept spamming the board asking for moot or the mods to make an exception for it even though people were mostly against it.
Liam Rodriguez

Cred Forums has more board splits than any other board save Cred Forums. Board splits only work as a temporary solution, as the board eventually goes to shit while nothing is actually fixed
Most threads on the "smaller spin-off" boards are just as bad if not even worse than Cred Forums for discussing vidya. /vr/ is the only exception and it was really worse than it ever has been since the initial split

Juan Bell
While it's true that time will eventually make all generations "retro", it's also true that certain eras carry a different attitude. And I don't believe that the 7th gen and beyond meshes with previous generations. However, I do believe that the 6th generation does mesh well with previous generations. The 6th generation feels like a cut-off point of the previous era. Everything after that is the current era. The PS3 and 360 and Wii will never have the same attitude as the consoles before it.

Or low quality textures for that matter. Might as well complain that indie pixel platformers should be considered retro, all 1 billion of them. /vr/'s rules are pretty straightforward. It's based strictly on the hardware that was available in the time period, whether the game is new or old it doesn't matter as long as it runs on the hardware.

Holy shit, there are lots of people here who actually think video games need multiple categories.
Where the fuck is my Honda Lawnmowers/Landscaping board? I want to discuss the finer points mowers but I don't want to fucking talk about Husqvarna trash or Toro. I want Honda and only Honda.
/vr/ is a safespace for people who identify with video game culture but dont actually want to play or talk about games. Sucks.

Christian White
That's dumb. You're dumb. Gen 6 started 18~ years ago just allow it to be discussed on /vr/

Just include gen 6. What reason is there to not? You can only discuss 1-5 for so long and gen 6 gets older each day
Daniel Reyes
>want to talk vidya >thread gets derailed by children screaming about 5th vs 6th generation bullshit >not allowed to discuss anything after a certain time period
You pissants argue about generations while Cred Forums shitposts about actual games. I know which one I'd rather be in.

/vr/ is good for discussing good vidya Cred Forums is good for discussing casual games, anime and e-drama. /vg/ is good for discussing waifus and porn.

Console/gen wars are also shitposting that I would much rather do without.
I don't know if this was supposed to be a "GOTCHA" post highlighting my hypocrisy or something, but you failed at doing so.
Noah Moore
>Just include gen 6. What reason is there to not?
because /vr/ as a whole are hipsters that want to maintain a certain level of sophistication in their discussion of digital toys for children. That means parsing everything into categories and giving value to some over others.
Brody Hall
>Another Cred Forums board We might be approach a persistent problem with ineffectual solutions here.
Dividing and organizing can have its place, but at some point the userbase needs to be organized or it's just going to keep building up into a splinter of smaller problems getting bigger and bigger. Like a roach infestation, you ignore it when it doesn't bother you and when it does you can't ignore it anymore.
Tyler Hernandez
Listen, if Cred Forums's broken records are your real problem, then we're not at odds here, but that's the price of keeping a relatively decentralized environment of opinions.
Ian Morales
It was an example of shitposting that needs to be tossed out. The reason I came at you is because you seem to be one of those people that think that I call every idea I disagree about shitposting. That's not true. Ideas can be expressed without shitposting.
Isaac Anderson
I'm a casual /vr/ lurker and I don't know what to feel about these proposals.
Dumb somewhat ignorant question out of curiosity but kind of related, will current modern music be considered "classical" music in 100-200-300 years? is there a rule for inclusion into the whole "classical" thing or did it turn into a genre anything can adhere to, even some "modern" music?
Could we draw a parallel with this "retro games" thing? adjusting the years of course.
Wyatt Sanchez
If we allow 6th gen we are opening the floodgates to Kingdom Hearts, Melee and fucking endless Persona 4 waifu threads.
Fuck that shit.
Mason Hill
The problem is that Cred Forums exists. Just have a seperate board for each generation: /v1/, /v2/, etc up to /v9/ for NX and Scorpio discussion

Asher Barnes
I would say 2000-06 as thats the span of 6th gen.
However I would just allow the gba and not 6th gen consoles because 6th gen - 8th gen doesnt look terribly different other than resolution.
Dylan Turner
This.
Eli Myers
>the point > >your head
Landon Gomez
>will current modern music be considered "classical" music in 100-200-300 years? Unlikely, no, unless the music in question while modern today and technically a spinoff of something else is even more technically an early pioneer of a sound. For example less recent metal might be considered "true" classic metal since earlier than that turns into hard rock and blues and whatnot. To shed some light on the matter I'm not sure what his current stance is but a few years ago I heard Lemmy of Motorhead did not consider his band Heavy Metal but Hard Rock, and he's in a way inclined to that belief since even if a band had a considerable amount of tracks under a genre, i.e. metal, due to whatever reason in production they themselves might not necessarily classify their actual style that genre itself. It's admittedly an opinionated topic with no clear lines but the overall point is the earlier back you go the less modern terms are considered applicable by ear. What sounds like something you know today could have a different classification based on how it was received or conceived then.
>is there a rule for inclusion into the whole "classical" thing Sort of, as far as I know classical music refers to composition that abides by the classical era, i.e. the musical techniques hallmarked during that period, arrangement and composition. To stress that means simply using "classical" instruments does not a classical song make.
>did it turn into a genre anything can adhere to, even some "modern" music? Well yes that is the paradox isn't it, modern compositions can be considered classical. >Could we draw a parallel with this "retro games" thing? You can make up whatever terms you like for genres really. Neo-retro-wave, dark-bubblegum-pop.
Just slap whatever on it.
Gavin Price
But the original GBA didn't have light
Jaxon Parker
>Thinking "retro" means old. The board was retarded from the beginning. Retro refers to imitating a style from recent history. Indie pixelshit is retro because it's "imitating" the style of games from several decades ago. Old games should just be called vintage. Anyone calling old games retro is just as retarded as someone who'd call Spelunky a roguelike.
