/vr/ - Retro Games

Lots of games are very good but unheard of to even the /vr/ masses. Aren't those hidden gems?

just because a term irrationally bothers you doesnt mean it isnt valid op

Just because you're a worthless autist doesn't mean you get to live.

The problem are people who come here asking for lists of hidden gems instead of taking the effort to dig them up for themselves.

Why is that a problem?

>>3085105
Because he's mad.

About everything.

>>3085105
Because it's a typical form of shitty request threads that do nothing but shit up the board.
And it goes against the whole concept of a hidden gem if you rely on stuff already unearthed and polished.

>>3085105
Rec threads are not allowed on 4Chan for a reason. If people actually were bothered to read the rules it would spare this board a lot of needless threads. Just because the state of this board is abysmal doesn't mean it should get even worse than it already is.

>>3085062
Damn, Obari sucked so much at drawing humans it's not even funny.

Also, since OP is a fag let's turn this thread into a /vr/ Obari thread, he liked Cho Aniki too, unsurprisingly.

god forbid we have one of those instead of another dozen people trying to talk shit about the genesis sound chip or asking if ocarina of time is overrated or trying to start yet another console war thread

>>3085118
that's dumb. i come here to find new games to play, not to participate in troll threads like "are filters ok?" or "overrated games general". for that I have /v/

Stick to Google or /wsr/.

>>3085082
i do a lot of searching around for weird obscure japan-only games and i love contributing to those types of threads. ironically yours is the only i've seen on /vr/.

>>3085275
You can stick your attitude up your ass. I'm with him 100%.

>>3085276
Protip: the posters rarely even play those games. None of them can even read Japanese.
If you want to push a game do it in other threads so that good lurkers aren't penalized for being polite.
You're not helping the board by contributing to rule-breaking threads before they get deleted.

>>3085294
I like recommending what I think are little played but great games. And I find it fun when a person is looking for something new to play to find what kinds of games they like and recommend some.

I'll happily take that over the weekly Final Fantasy Sucks and Castlevania Fight threads. Which is why I don't click on those anymore and am happier for it.

And here's a sweet tip. You can easily not click on the threads that don't interest you as well.

>>3085319
Ignoring them won't make them go away. Reporting them does.

>>3085342
You're a real piece of work.

>>3085294
they usually don't require much reading comprehension. jesus man, chill.

>reporting on-topic threads

Why is everybody on this board always so hurt?

>>3085546
Just because it doesn't break a board rule doesn't mean global rules don't apply. Rules 6 and 16 in particular.

>>3085552
This, holy shit. I know "moderation" is a dirty word on 4chan, but reporting and deleting shitty threads will ultimately help this community. There's a reason why /wooo/ is light years ahead of /asp/ in terms of discussion. I will say that the mods have been deleting some shitposting lately, which is good, but there's still plenty of obvious bait in the catalog. I still don't know how the /org/ guy keeps getting 100+ replies.

>>3085509
This look like an hentai anime. Angel Blade. I like it.

>>3085582

This thread is a hidden gem.

Thread reported for off-topic meta bullshit. If you're that butthurt about us using triggering words OP, take it to >>>/qa/

>but reporting and deleting shitty threads will ultimately help this community.

No it doesn't. All it does is foster more animosity. The people who act like the /vr/ police only ever make things worse.

Most "obscure" retro games on the internet are circle jerked beyond belief on either this board or anywhere else on the internet. Kinda begin to swing away from underrated a lot because of that.

But unless people get validation from it being on Gamefaqs or IGN "BEST GAMES EVER MADE", people will still think "Hey man, Live A Live, what a obscure classic!"

obari is GOAT at drawing humans, you have shit taste

>>3089285
>obari is human at drawing goats
Fixed.

>>3087082
This.

And this thread is a perfect example. It just sneaks in under the rules, but it's sole purpose is to stir up shit and piss people off. It's the very essence of trolling and it's what this board has become all about because of people like OP.

But OP I want to believe.

>>3085583
Obari worked on this and Viper GTS.

>>3089442
People who don't believe in hidden gems are idiots with no imagination. People have such different tastes and interests in games that one person's trash is always another person's gold.

>>3085062
with the way you faggots ruin everything on yt, that'd be correct

The problem with the term "hidden gem" is that it's 2016, and all the hidden gems have been unearthed and made into household names by now. I'm sure kids getting into the retrogaming fad might "discover" games like Sylphia or Rent-a-Hero, but they have been unearthed by oldfags like me who have been into retrogaming since before it was called "retrogaming."

>>3085062
idk man, every couple months i hear about a game on here that no one's ever posted about before or i've never read about

so go fuck yo'self famicom

>>3089570
There's still untranslated games. And some platforms are overlooked in general.

>>3089570

What does that matter though? No way you were the first person on earth to discover how cool Sylphia is. But that doesn't matter, what matters is that you didn't know about it.

That's what a hidden gem is, it's just one of those games that most people look over because it's not super popular and not everyone's cup of tea. But practically every game, even the weird seemingly crappy ones are someone's near perfect cup of tea.

You're a hidden gem, OP.

>>3089481
The only thing "hidden" about this game is its complete lack of quality. In that people don't discover how lame it is until they play it.

It's like they published the game with the dev-work being only 30% done.

Is that game actually any good? It looks like an aquarium simulator.

/a/ is not 4chan.

That's not even written by that author

>>3089570
Many jp-only games that actually require knowledge of the language are potential hidden gems.
