/vr/ - Retro Games

>spam this shit daily on /vr/
>but keeping a single thread on /qa/ alive is hard somehow

>>6508419
Not till we get an answer on SMB3 vs all-stars

>>6508419
when the sticky is 20 years old. mods need to stop fucking around and make more boards

/his/'s requirements is something having to be more 25 years or older to be allowed discussion, one day things younger than the Dreamcast will be considered historical enough to discuss on this site while the ps2 still won't be considered retro here

>>6508419

>Not retro
I use a PS2 to play my entire PS1 library.

>Retro
I use an emulator on my PC to play my entire PS1 library.

>>6508494
Except playing PS1 games on anything is considered retro, you massive retard.
Keep the strawmen coming.

I'm trying to install a hard drive for ps1 games. Is there any place other than maxdiy that sells a caddy for this thing?

>>6508427
Most people who played the PS2 were Gen X and Millennials. Zoomers were either too young to remember it or weren't even born until well into the PS3's life.

It came out in 2000 so given /vr/'s retarded 20-year rule I'd assume it'll be fair game this fall.

>>6508507
>Except playing PS1 games on anything is considered retro

There have been many jannys who disagree.

>>6508514
Get your own board. /vr/ is not Palestine.

>>6508507
>you massive retard.
>Keep the strawmen coming.

>Uses fallacy and accuses of fallacy.

Nobody minds PS2 being considered retro, the real problem with this is that it when you consider Retro to be based around the passage of a certain amount of time rather than a specific and unchanging area of time it opens up 7th gen consoles and above to also be considered retro. Nobody would mind discussions of games like Sly Cooper or Golden Sun, everybody however would definitely oppose titles like Gears of War or Last of Us being discussed. It's a shame the line in the sand has to be drawn here and 6th gen left in limbo but the consequences of allowing it to be discussed are reason enough to keep it off the board.

Just use 8kuns /v/, it had an exodus recently and is a total ghostt own, it was slow as goddamn fuck before the exodus as well. It only has like 4 posts in an hour. You could hijack the entire board for 6th gen discussion and no one would stop you.

>>6508518
No. We have daily threads about modern emulation platforms like psp, raspi and mister. As long as you keep the discussion to emulating retro stuff it's fine.

Why do you want to change a board's rules when you obviously know nothing about it.

>>6508527
>Nobody minds PS2 being considered retro
Speak for yourself. Anything gen 6 considered retro is a death sentence to discussions about anything pre-gen 4.

>>6508419
Just fuck off to 8kun or 9chan and make your own board there already instead of spamming this stupid shitty fucking thread you absolute dumb fucking piece of shit faggot

>>6508536
>Anything gen 6 considered retro is a death sentence to discussions about anything pre-gen 4.
got a satisfact to snack that up?

>>6508527
>Nobody would mind discussions of games like Sly Cooper or Golden Sun
Wrong.
>>6508419
Here you go! I made a general for you guys to talk about 6th gen in all you want. Post away! >>>/vg/295182828

>never been on /v/
>wonder if they talk about 6th gen
>
no wonder there's people who really don't want anything to change

Anything made after 2k can never be considered "true" retro.

>>6508419
You're just digging yourself a bigger hole by posting these threads every day. Stop being a whiny bitch.

>>6508561
>this can't be real
>look it up
>it's real

>>6508565
why not?

>>6508510
Zoomers were born late '90s and early '00s, it's very likely their first exposure to games was their parent's or older sibling's PS2, or some other sixth gen system. Needless to say, we don't need zoomer-tier cancer around these parts.

>>6508519
I knew kikes were behind this

>>6508543
I'm sick of posting the same arguments you're going to ignore over and over again.
Go read the bazillion threads on the archives and piss off.

>>6508549
no thanks. I want to talk about it here

>>6508527
I liked Sly Cooper.

>>6508584
I want to talk about nigger cocks on /m/ but you don't see me bitching and whining about it on their board every day.

>>6508591
If you did, anon. I would support you. I would lend my posts to your cause. Let us go anon. Let us go to /m/ to discuss nigger cocks.

You know I had to sage and report it to em.

I just don't understand what definition of retro you all are operating on that makes games from 20 years ago not retro. A lamp made in 1977 wasn't a retro lamp in 1987 but was in 1997. How are videogames at all different? Are you just that autistically dedicated to making this board a boomer party? Why is Ps1 even considered retro? The graphics are 3D, not that different from the PS2.

Just make "nu-retro" board where fetuses can talk about their ratchet and wanks and super mario bumshines at peace.

>>6508561
It took them one hour to take this down lmao

>>6508604
yes it really does come down to an autistic click of unfunny old faggots who have never had an interesting thread in site's entire history. you will see the same shit getting discussed over and over ad-nausea. It's pretty fucking sad when /po/ has had more interesting threads in it's history than this sad pathetic board.

>>6508607
But asking for a new board takes a little effort. Zoomies want it easy.

>>6508615
>But asking for a new board takes a little effort
Does it really.

>>6508613
How would you know given you obviously never come here unless given the opportunity to shitpost about 6th gen?
Lurk moar, get a clue and shut the fuck up.

>>6508561
That's probably the least retarded thing on v now, too

>>6508419
Never.

>>6508623
You have to make a thread on /qa/ and keep it alive with actual arguments and constructive posts.
It's nothing but for a zoomie used to being spoonfed it's like climbing the everest. It's easier to throw daily tantrums here.

>>6508623
Probably less than the daily "is the PS2 retro now" threads. Hell, I won't mind a nu retro vr board, and I graduated high school around when the PS2 was most relevant

>>6508576
im a zoomer and my first game i consciously and purposefully played was super mario world. unprompted by anyone older than me

will be when you cannot run any new video game without an internet connection.

>>6508637
Do you want a medal?

>>6508634
All of that is literally just a this thread but with a different subject.
Asking for a new board is the bottom level request and something asked everyday. You also forget that the mods don't actually read /qa/. It's a shitposting board that's only kept alive as a joke.

>>6508643
I want my pp sucked lol

>>6508643
im just saying your assumption is wrong here

i wish we could just have a /6g/ board at this point. fuck /v/ but I perfectly understand that it shouldn't go on /vr/.
I just want to talk ps2 games finally, somewhere.

>>6508604
This. I need my Gears of War and Halo fix on /vr/. No I will not post on /v/, /vg/, or 8kun instead. I want it here and only here? Why? I don't have to explain myself to you bunch of autistic virgin permaNEETs. It HAS to be here and I will whine and cry every single day until the jannies finally cave and make 7th gen retro. the 360 will be 15 years old at the end of this year, get with the times you dipshit boomer fucks.

>>6508624
I been shitposting here for years

>>6508660
chill out bitty. everyone here is a human being. no need to sperg out

>>6508660
xbox 360 is retro. it is labeled as such in many game stores. the free market has decided

How about this: /2dvr/ for 2D games and /3dvr/ for 5th and 6th gen?

Guys my first console was a PS4. I really have no idea about anything before that. I was born in 2002. Where do I even start? I feel so overwhelmed. I have nothing in my life but video games(HS DROPOUT NEET) but im getting tired of this stuff.

>>6508660
This but unironically

>>6508676
That's too specific. I think the v2k suggestion is better, especially as the generations move forward newer consoles can be added, though I don't think people will ever look back at the 8th generation of consoles fondly.

>>6508676
>and /3dvr/ for 5th and 6th gen?
You do know there were 3d games way before that time?

this could easily be fixed if mods on /v/ did their jobs
does /mu/ need a /mur/?

>>6508514
>20 years is a long time

it shouldn't be. life is a short crock of shit.

>>6508669
>the free market has decided

it was some fuckwad corporate official who "decided" that. that doesn't mean it's somehow true.

i wonder what would be the best way to define a cutoff based on time
>20+ years since system release
seems alright, but might fall apart as newer systems can sometimes be supported for a very long time
>10+ years since discontinuation of system
might be better, but has a couple weird edge cases, like the master system technically still being supported, also there's the question of whether official emulations of a system count, in which cases this might never apply to many systems
>gameplay is distinctly retro (in the actual definition of the word)
probably the most technically correct answer, but is too loose in definition, so will just result in more talk about what is or isn't applicable than anything else

>>6508584
Too bad, you never will be able to. Go ahead and post in that thread I made for you if you want. Just know that you'll never be able to talk about 6th gen here, and there's nothing you can do about it, and we're all laughing at you.

rip george floyd

>>6508720
I
cant
believe the size of this dick

>>6508717
I mean I talk about ps2 games in this forum for years now. so what if they get deleted. most of you guys shit threads get deleted

>>6508419
When we leave /vr/ and people like you are the majority. It's not about the age of the system but the age of the baord regulars.

>>6508736
>When we leave
anon, do you forget where you are?

>>6508724
that's because it's not real

>>6508726
Sounds like you're a big faggot. It's fun watching you cry and get your threads deleted.
Here's your containment thread, think of it like your own board! >>>/vg/295182828

Just name this place 20th century consoles and computer games and clear any confusion no fucking ps2

>>6508756
How about you fuck off to /v/? You can discuss 6th gen all you want, right now even!

>>6508604
What about a lamp made in 1942... in continental Europe?

I support upgrading the rules.

>>6508763
Are you retarded?

If it was up to me i'd add 6th gen consoles to /vr/, it not like this is a fast board anyways. You can't get a thread going about 6th games on /v/ because it's all fucking twitter post shit and e drama

>>6508748
>ps2 threads on /vr/ reach bump limit
>ps2 threads on /vg/ die instantly
Hmm..

>>6508789
/v/ is a lost cause. I don't like that board.

>>6508748
I'm laffing, not crying. I enjoy watching the autism flair up in you lames. "Heavens me! It's a console that didnt exist when I was a 12 year old lad being forced to suckle my uncle's penis! This shall not be!"

What if mods actually fixed /v/ so anons there can discuss video game?
Just rangeban all off topic shitposters and you already have a half decent board.

>>6508835
/v/ isn't a video games board though. It's the board equivalent of a women's gossip mag

>>6508419
Never. We only have room on this board for console war shit, Doom and CRT threads.

>>6508839
It has become a twitter gossip board only because of the half-assed job mods and jannies have been doing there.
I've seen loli and furry porn dump threads there reach bump limit despite reporting every single post.
It's like the only two boards that get the moderation's attention are /b/ and /pol/.

There is no reason why you can't just fuck off to 8kun /v/ to discuss 6th gen. It's currently empty and it has the exact same features as 4chan so it's an extremely easy transition. The inclusion of 6th gen would also mean the inclusion of 7th and above and at that point the term retro won't even mean anything anymore.

>>6508756
20th century ended on December 31 2000 tho.

>>6508839
>>6508848
then stop bringing that shit here

>>6508549
>/vg/ thread dead in the water

Gee if only there was an entire board dedicated to games that are really fuckin old

>>6508872
Shit um call it "if your console or computer game didnt come out in a year starting with 19 then fuck off"

Just make a new board that covers 2000 to 2009 and call it /v2k/

>>6508419
When Moothiro fucking reforms the website and allows loli and shots and non gross furry characters without being banned and getsbrid of the fucking wordfilter!!

>>6508527
8c.u_ck is shit, sold its soul out of cowardice and remove the delicious boards and julay.world did mive them to ToR and then they died!

>>6508542
you are totally helpin our case.

>>6508607
how about remove the faggotry and dipshittyness out of 4chan and make it great again like it was in 2006/2007?

I strongly feel that ps2/xbox should be considered retro, and pretty much everywhere else it is. Im a 31 yr old boomer by all standards and that generation was my core teenage years.
Im convinced most people on here saying otherwise are actual boomers or shitposters continuing a meme.

>>6508952
it makes me wonder what the average age of this board actually is
i'm 30 and the ps2 is so old that it came out when i was 9

>>6508676
/gvr/ - golden age vidya - pre-NES
/svr/ - silver age vidya - 3rd & 4th gen
/bvr/ - bronze age vidya - 5th & 6th gen
/vr/ - will always be previous gen, when a new gen comes out, the current one gets moved here and the formerly /vr/ get their own age board

>>6508967
all other boards but /svr/ would die quickly.

>>6508952
The problem is ps2 and xbox would be all that get discussed that's why we dont want them here.

>>6508939
get fucked pedoshit

I WANT MY
I WANT MY
I WANT MY 1000th thread about Zelda OoT where mentioning WW/TP is haram.

Can I use the agent under fire exploit to play japanese ps1 games on my american ps2?

I'm not even sure if this is a /vr/ question. It feels really grey.
I know you can use it to swap in a disc that can be used to boot up freemcboot. but does it also work if i just take out the 007 game and put in the japanese game immediately?

>>6509017
It's easier to just buy a rigged memory card off ebay for a few quid

>>6509019
there's no way that exists man. no way

>>6509019
What about the fun of physical copies?

>>6509016
Discuss Zelda on /v/.

>>6509025
There's not much fun in paying $200 for Silent Hill 2, a game which sold 500,000 copies.

>>6508510
Rubbish I grew up entirely with the ps2

>>6509030
Oh fuck off man.

>>6509017
Look up Free McBoot and POPStarter

This worth playing?

>>6508952
>>6508960
I'm 29. Retro is not your personal nostalgia, fagg. It's any pre-2000 platform. Don't make "retro" increasingly meaningless by your gayness.
