eww

I always wanted to do this for DOS rpgs, but never got around it. I also wanted to make a RPG history history in general from early days to today and with all subgenres including JRPG.

>>1717850
Fuck me, what did I write there?

>RPG history chart

>>1717834
we shouldnt limit to top 10s or 20s, just give all the genuine essentials per category. no need to rank them either as that creates... controversy

>>1717860
'Controversy' makes a great euphemism.

>>1717854
I'm SO interested in that, please get around to make it when you feel like again.

>>1717849

Use Google you fucking dumbass. There are plenty of charts out there and other sites that tell you what is interesting to play and what to avoid.

>>1717846
Seriously man, add Sutte Hakkun to underrated SNES puzzle games.

>>1717834
We're not that kind of board.

And anyway, if you're looking to get into a specific genre or console there are dozens upon dozens of lists you can find of the top games all over the Internet.

All these lists do is cause pointless, inane arguments and give annoying faggots a chance to wave their cocks around ("oh hurr look at dis game i liek if u dont liek it ur a pleb xD" "durrr look at muh 'refined tastes" and ">liking [popular game] >mfw plebs xD").

Play games you like -- who cares?

>>1718097
yes but not from /vr/. time to mark our place in history.

The general concenssus that I've gathered from these threads is that there's no need to make one because it's already done.

We're an offshoot of /v/, right? Well, there's been a /v/ wiki for years now, and a lot of people here probably contributed to it since it was made way back before this board existed. To make one now is just redundant. And the various times I've looked at the wiki for /vr/ systems, the choices seem to be pretty damn good.

>>1718268
Also, I meant to use spell check on consensus because I can never spell it right, and just sound it out and let the computer handle it.

Because that'd stop recommendations threads in their tracks, and thus at least a third of out traffic would cease.

>>1718284
*our

>>1717834
Because they are always subjective, lead to arguments, and are a lazy way of doing things. "just consult the /v/ wiki!", or "heres a picture of all the good games". There are two results of this, the thread ends because there will now be absolutely no discussion, or the thread will grow uncontrollably due to arguments. needless to say, shitposters who favor x console will post empty pictures or single entries for y console.
>inb4 nuh uih we aren't /v/
shitposting isn't fucking exclusive to /v/, this entire board wasn't founded on circlejerking faggotry, we all don't agree on everything, and most of /vr/ came from /v/ to /vr/. these are just some years that own a lot of great games, otherwise unexplored by today, and it doesn't make us fucking better for it.

>>1718374
Just because the subject matter doesn't inherently make us more civil, doesn't mean we can't strive for be more civil. Part of the whole purpose of the board and people coming here and an escape from /v/ and "no being /v/" is one of its founding principles.

But yes, I agree, I regularly drop into recommendation threads and I actually like having good discussion in them. A wiki or image macro isn't that great because different gamers have different taste that they often mention in the orginal post so other posters are able to finder something suited for them must more accurately and faster than just a simple list does. I find the image macros annoying because you're just given a screen shot and a name, and no real info about the game, combined with the sheer volume of games on that list makes it overwhelming to look up all of them.

>>1718481
That isn't the whole fucking purpose of the board. The board is for a place to DISCUSS games that were normally shit on by /v/, old games. Anything other than last gen or current is shit on by a persistent minority in /v/. The whole point wasn't to split a fanbase into two subcultures, a kind nature was encouraged, you cannot found a civilization where "we are all kind". /v/ used to be just like this, a nice escape from everything. Then kids came thinking 4chan is all troll no discussion.

I agree with this, I do think compilations are good, but I would rather have the opportunity to discuss the message with the creator himself, rather than being forced to accept some compilation, which was made with the intent to redistribute. Many people have different tastes, and I would like to hear them all.

>>1718665
I did not make nor participate in the creation of these. Don't act like a faggot because your favorite games aren't listed.

>>1718703
This list is no longer recommended nor "respected" by /v/ as a community.

Reddit took over a long time ago and really shitted all over it. Take what you will from that.

>>1718674
>Super R-Type and Darius Twin over R-Type III and Darius Force

This list is an abomination.

Any charts like those for SEGA consoles?

I want to get into that shit but that's a completely new ground for me to work with.

>>1718674
Why the fuck is Cool Spot on this list? Also, why the fuck is Samurai Shodown on this list? The home console port was vastly inferior to the original game. It can not be recommended in good faith.

These lists are just some dumb shit throwing together every game he comes across. I'm plenty sure he hasn't even played a lot of them.

>>1718709
From what I saw the wiki looked just fine. That just sounds like typical /v/ scaremongering and blaming reddit because they can.

>>1718806
Or you're a redditor trying to discredit the opinion of others because you have shit taste in games.

I'm fucking with you.I really don't care.There's a lot of shit on that list I would never recommend anyone to ever play though.

>>1717834
>Why hasn't /vr/ made any essentials charts?
There are dozens on the wiki.

>>1718709

No one cares what that containment board thinks.

>>1718806

It is.

>>1718842
>There's a lot of shit on that list I would never recommend anyone to ever play though.

Same, but that's the nature of recommendations--you aren't going to like everything that's posted. And people probably don't care for some of the stuff I post.

Opinions and shit are easy for me to take.

>>1718125
Definitely this! Sutte Hakkun is my favorite puzzle game on the SNES and is relatively unknown.

>>1717834

>>1719454

>>1718259

Fine then. Shall we with system recommendations or genre?

>>1718752
Samurai Showdown was an absolutely fine port, but recommending it seems very pointless since you ca find the arcade one in countless colllections nowadays.

I don't understand Aero the Acrobat being there, Aero the Acrobat II was good, the first one not that much.

>>1718681
>dat 96, 97, 98

oh christ. so beautiful, and that's only when looking at the PC side.

the golden years of the golden years

>>1719514
There's a lot of retro out there.

I think it's best to go by system and genre.

So we can have a NES page, and then have the recommended games listed beneath each genre.

Doesn't have to be a specified number of games. We create an exhaustive list of ALL the best games the systems have to offer for each genre.

Are you up to the task /vr/?

>>1717846
rayman for the gameboy should be on that list

>>1718665
>no rayman 2

>>1717849
I said it before and I'll say this again, you guys can do whatever you want with these lists as long as you credit /vr/. If you want to make a chart, then there's nothing stopping you.

>>1718125
I added Sutte Hakkun to platform game list, because it's a puzzle platformer.
