/vr/ - Retro Games

>>6691358
Give it up already.

I would like it if there was discussion of retro games.

My biggest problem is zoomers endlessly trying to change the rules.

>>6691359
why? It is as logical proposition as one can be.

Allow post-2000 games. Strict cutoff autists are retarded.

>>6691368
zoom zoom

>>6691368
no, that is utterly retarded and you have more than enough boards for that. 2000 is a sound idea since it would expand the pool of available games with some real quality titles while making the cutoff point logical, in it being the end of the 20th century and second millennia. Just adding post 2000 shit makes no fucking sense.

"extremely low quality posts" don't get removed, that or just replying to something with nothing but a wojack is somehow not qualified as extremely low quality posting.

Spamming/Flooding with obvious shitposts go on for way longer than should be permissable, see the "Mario Madness" guy a few days ago or the Gameboy Advance spammer making a dozen threads thinking he was being cute by abusing loopholes through "Remakes of retro games", but still flooding/spamming in the process.

>>6691374
The GBA spam was awful, but it's part of a bigger problem of not accepting the 2000 cutoff point. If it was stickied for good that PS2 will never be retro then the board would improve drastically.

ah... 47 minutes ago, those were the days

>>6691359
I just wanna discuss NoX what is wrong with that?

>>6691374
I usually frequent homm threads and there are some seriously retarded trolls there that shit up the discussion with nothing even remotely related to the game but to /pol/ bullshit and memes. I would honestly appreciate if this was addressed with a bit more vigilance.

>>6691358
We’ve discussed this already, but the classic retro handheld GBA absolutely should be permitted. It is considered by most to be a continuation of the classic retro console SNES and its game library consists almost entirely of classic retro 2D style games. It has a strong retro vibe and soul for days. It really makes sense to be able to discuss classic 2D side scrolling action platformers such as Ninja Five-o, Astro Boy: Omega Factor and Lilo & Stitch, to name but a few titles in its vast library of retro classic 2D gems. Not to mention retro classics like the Castlevania, Fire Emblem, Densetsu no Starfy and Golden Sun series, as well as all of the undeniably retro classics that got left in Japan such as Tomato Adventure and Magical Vacation. Intelligent discussion of these 2D retro classic GBA titles will be an overall boon to the discourse on /vr/ and enhance board culture in general.

I just want a board for 6th and 7th gen, because you won't find threads on /v/ for that stuff unless you make it yourself and how am I supposed to make threads about games I want to find out about if I've never heard of them before?

>>6691358
>My point is this - believe it or not, but 1999 is not the last year of the 20th century/second millennia - it's actually the year 2000.
Please die

The board has bigger problems than ps2 not being retro (which isn't a problem). Namely the lack of moderation and shitpost spammers.

>>6691397
This seems like a very non-controversial stance to me, I think a lot of people here would agree. It wouldn't crowd the board with crap, it's pretty much just a SNES 2 and there are lots of great games that have much more in common with the SNES era than say the PS1 or N64 or Dreamcast does, all of which are discussed here.

>>6691406
They hated Jesus because he told them the truth.

>>6691406
not our problem that your education is shit, this is an actual fact, go back to school

>>6691358
literally every second post on this board is some variation on zoomer/seethe/dilate regardless of topic yet autists want us to believe that allowing 6th gen will kill the board somehow

>>6691423
>>6691425
My point is that nobody gives a shit you pedantic retard. Go figure everyone who spergs out over /vr/'s rules also has to come up with the dumbest, most pedantic shit to justify why they should be changed.
>>6691397
>>6691420
No. Fuck off.

We’ve discussed this already, but the classic retro videogame Undertale absolutely should be permitted. It is considered by most to be a continuation of the classic retro NES videogames and its gameplay consists almost entirely of classic retro 2D style gameplay. It has a strong retro vibe and soul for days. Intelligent discussion of this 2D retro classic title will be an overall boon to the discourse on /vr/ and enhance board culture in general.

Not fair.
Childhood retro too.

I agree with allowing GBA discussion, it makes more sense here than PSX and N64.

I also think *IF* we allowed 6th gen (PS2 era) I still don’t think this board will become another /v/ with discussions of just Halo and shit. There are a lot of games on those platforms that won’t be discussed on /v/ and are similar in style to 5th gen games.

For example, Billy Hatcher. You will get ignored on /v/ and get autistic spergouts on /vr/.

>>6691437
Reductio ad absurdum. Is Undertale 20 years old?

The worst thing about this board is the insufferable faggots who stumble over themselves to split hairs about what’s retro or not. All PS1 is retro. All N64 is retro. Just deal with it you fucking cocksuckers. If you hate seeing a thread about Parasite Eve 2 so much just fucking LEAVE. Nobody is forcing you to read it. Go make a fucking James Pond thread or something if you cant go 10 seconds without “muh pixels” “muh mode 7”

>>6691434
It makes no sense to not allow GBA, it’s a pocket SNES more or less. Are you actually OCD about the rules or afraid of something?

>>6691451
>If you hate seeing a thread about Parasite Eve 2 so much just fucking LEAVE. Nobody is forcing you to read it
This is my general stance with 6th gen beggars. If you don't like the rules here, nobody is forcing you to stay.

>>6691445
GBA needs to be here but never ps2. Ps2 would dominate every thread. Xbox has no emulation. Gamecube has nice games and all but would be 'permissive' ps2.

Gba is so easily emualted and has a large number of games, and it's retroesque, of course, of which was your point I'm sure.

>>6691450
It's old school

>>6691453
>>6691451
When the rules change you'll be eating those words anons.

>too bad just ignore the newer retro gens the same way post 2000 games made on pre2k consoles were to be ignored :^)

>>6691372
You're fucking retarded. Games didn't stop being retro on January 1st, 2000. I know a new decade and millennium satiates your shallow autism, but it's more complicated than that.

>>6691456
That image is extremely zoomer and awful.

>>6691456

>>6691461
it's not complicated at all you zoomer idiot, the category doesn't simply change because more time passes, get that through that thick skull of yours and beg elsewhere for /nuvr/

>>6691451
>3D consoles
>retro
They were tolerated as retro consoles after people bawww’d about their childhood console being retro about a decade ago. Now at least 50% of /vr/ is discussion of N64, PSX and Dreamcast with the occasional meme thread for Saturn. It has basically taken over despite it being the first modern generation of 3D-majority gaming.

That’s why such people adore the 1999 and will defend it against common sense to the death. While /vr/ is being utterly retarded by allowing proper 3D consoles but not the GBA despite the GBA being a SNES port machine, autismos get to defend their own childhood’s retro status while accusing “zoomers” of the same thing.

Hate you all desu

>>6691456

>>6691459
Really, nobody is forcing you to stay on a board where your own childhood isn't appreciated. It's not fair for you on principle to stay here. Have a little self respect and find another website that considers your own childhood era to be nostalgic. 4chan doesn't.

/v/ is fucking fortnite tier zoomer awful, same reason though I watch tv I would never use /tv/, /vg/ is generals and generals in any board is cancerous and vapid, so then there's the specific troll board bant 2.0 aka vrgp of which doesn't count.

Where do you expect people to go? Redditor subs? Dead imageboards?

Also, gen x wasn't supposed to invade 4chan so much as it was for gen y. Faggots that rage at post 2k are blatantly older than gen y.

You should leave.

God... Damn... You... Fucking... Autists.... JUST LET ME TALK ABOUT GBA GAMES ALREADY I WANT TO MAKE A THREAD FOR GBA LET ME MAKE IT OR IM GONNA FUCKING EXPLODE DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT GBA IS RETRO GBA IS RETRO DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK

>>6691472
I still think N64/PS1/Saturn should count as retro because they mostly continue the design mentalities of 2D gaming. As the generation went on it obviously started morphing into what 3D gaming would become, but I'm willing to accept it as more retro than not.
PS2/GameCube/Xbox on the other hand are totally not retro at all.

>>6691489
I'm 31 and only gen x defends 2000 games downwards as hard as /vr/ would.

Moot is a millennial. I am a millennial. Why are you here? You're as much an invader as the zoomers are.

>>6691493
the pic is obviously made by a 13 year old where those games are as old as he is

/vr/'s rules are fundamentally flawed and paradoxical by design. Pre-2000 is what constitutes "retro". Okay, but then why do you allow games made after 1999? Because it was made for a system that released before 2000? Okay, but then why do you not allow PC games made afterwards? Why do you allow post-1999 remakes that are released on post-1999 systems? You're claiming that date and hardware both matter and do not matter simultaneously.

>>6691501
Indeed. The board is tyrannically ran by some generation x faglord. Only what he personally finds nostalgic is retro.

>>6691480
This ‘muh childhood’ meme is very revealing about your shallow mindset. Essentially you and your kind are only here to wallow in childhood nostalgia. You’re probably the type to engage in puerile console war bullshit. Some of us are here because we are genuinely passionate about retro games regardless of system, developer or publisher and always have been. If you were truly passionate about retro games you’d welcome intelligent discussion of the GBA library, but instead you’d rather regurgitate the same facile talking points about N64 because ‘muh childhood’.

>>6691501
>Okay, but then why do you allow games made after 1999? Because it was made for a system that released before 2000?
Yes. And?
>Okay, but then why do you not allow PC games made afterwards?
Because then you could talk about practically any PC game.
Personally I think they should just allow 2000 PC games and be done with it though.
>Why do you allow post-1999 remakes that are released on post-1999 systems?
Because they're remakes of retro games and most discussion on them will be comparing them to their original game. If they're so different that they barely count as the same game (FF7R) then I'm pretty sure those threads get taken down.

Why the fuck has there been such a hard push to change /vr/'s rules for the past week? There's always been kids that can't cope but recently you guys have been acting like that little brother that wants his turn on the console: scream and shout till you get your way. Just fuck off already back to /v/.

>>6691480
This. Any person with an ounce of self-respect would take the hint, realize /vr/ doesn't appreciate a sacred personal point in time as it is your own childhood, and leave. Begging for your childhood to be accepted is the ultimate humiliation. You can do better than that. Stop amusing these old guys by enabling them to make fun of your childhood. Sometimes the only way to win is not to play.
I'm an actual "zoomer" who mostly grew up with 7th gen and flash games (I'm 18 don't.worry), but even I know that this board will just make fun of my childhood if I tried to suggest I consider it's retro, so I just come here to learn about games before my time. If I found myself in a vulnerable position, asking people on the internet to please consider my childhood to be retro, I'd know it'd be time to stop browsing that site. Not healthy or productive for me.

Are we actually disallowing GBA discussions just to BTFO the zoomers with the 1999 no exceptions rule? It is literally because anons are scared that by allowing GBA then suddenly that means PS2 can be discussed? Because the cut off year would be 2001?

Don’t have a cut off year then, think of something more complex than that. If you honestly think retro = “up to 15 years ago” (which means the new cut off date would be 2005 anyway by now) and there is no nuance to the topic, then /vr/ is clearly a shitty place to discuss retro games anyway.

Wouldn’t be surprised if a majority of people here don’t actually play classic 2D games, but instead just play OoT endlessly just to be a fucking contrarian about how this 3D game is superior than that 3D game because it’s from the 90s! Oh boy, it’s like your game but with less to do and everyone’s made out of Toblerones, wow fuck newer 3D games for being soulless.

Allow GBA, kill dickheads who defend the 1999 rule but only posts about 3D games

>>6691517

I'm worried because I hate anyone under the age of 24.
You seem to be one of the okay ones though.

>>6691512
I know. It's utterly insufferable. We should have a rule against people constantly asking to change the rules.

>>6691520
>Are we actually disallowing GBA discussions just to BTFO the zoomers
No, it's because it isn't retro.
>If you honestly think retro = “up to 15 years ago” (which means the new cut off date would be 2005 anyway by now) and there is no nuance to the topic, then /vr/ is clearly a shitty place to discuss retro games anyway.
Strawman. "Retro" isn't just a random amount of time in the past and everyone knows that besides people trying to misrepresent arguments to try and force us to allow threads about consoles that aren't retro.

>>6691523
>though the remainder of the sixth generation will not

>>6691524
you're only proving my point, but okay

>>6691523
who said anything about Dreamcast you fool? That shit was released in 1999 and any title from that year is a retro title - or 2000 if we agree on the actual and only logical cutoff point, finally.

>be banned for no real reason from both /vg/ and /v/ due to capitalistically dystopian hiro range bans to force people on the pass

>>6691495
Disagree entirely, Goldeneye has more in common with Halo, Driver has more in common with GTA III and Sonic Adventure has more in common with Sonic Heroes than any of these games’ 2D predecessors/counterparts

It’s a total meme to claim that any 3D game is more similar to a 2D counterpart than their 3D successor on a newer console. It defies logic since 3D is an entirely different paradigm to 2D.

>>6691534
>>be banned for no real reason from both /vg/ and /v/
Sounds like a personal problem you stupid faggot. Acting like a retard and getting banned from other boards doesn't mean it's okay for you to shit up this board too.

Stop complaining about our complaining. Hiro was kicked off of his own original site over this shit. He does it for capitalistic gain. he's a literal millionaire you idiot. You don't comprehend my post yet call me the retard.

just goes to show that you are one of that idiots that should not purchase one pass, but a couple, if you have no clue how to go around being banned you fucking noob

>>6691358
This isn't a meta thread this is another tantrum thread.

>>6691535
You heard it here first folks, Wolfenstein 3D is not retro. The official retro game cutoff point is now in 1991

>>6691538
>shitflood
Hiro does this to get money. it's not one person. It's the group he banned. He takes a quadrant of ISPs and bans them until he reaches a quota. It's why he's rich. What figures is that people would, rather than give him money, just go to the boards they're not range banned from currently.

>>6691528
>>6691530
The point is going over both your heads. As time passes, more systems will inevitably be considered "retro", which by the way is 4chan's way of saying "old". The 1999 benchmark is simply the line drawn currently.

>>6691540
You can't undo range bans. Tor hasn't worked for years and neets won't get mommy to buy vpn, assuming vpn, or even vps, could work.

You don't understand what's happening. Emulator culture generally goes hand in hand with neeting.

>>6691512
>for the past week
are you new?
people bitch about the rules, intentionally misinterpret them and keep "discussing" (read: bitching and whining) changes since always

virtually every time it boils down to "why don't you just post it on /v/?" "because /v/ is shit". if you outright refuse to make video game threads there, what do you expect it to be?

>>6691529
Hardly, your whole point was basically that 4chan is for the big kids of 30-something, 20-something babies have to play somewhere else. No discussion of what you feel makes a game retro, it was just
>I’m older than you
>4chan is MINE!
>We do what I want since it’s MY house
Which betrays a very infantile state of mind, not to mention you probably also being a colossal cunt IRL.

>>be banned for no real reason from both /vg/ and /v/ due to capitalistically dystopian hiro range bans to force people on the pass
>>just go to /v/ or /vg/ bro :^)
How is it our problem if you got yourself banned from other boards?

>>6691552
It's been 1999 since the beginning though.
The real reason Dreamcast was allowed wasn't because 8th gen (that'd make no sense, as they should have also enabled the other 6th gen systems in that case), it was that despite DC being released in 98, it still wasn't allowed, conteadicting the 1999 rule.
But 1999 has always been there. I doubt it's going to change at this point. But a /v2000/ board is very possible in the future.

>>6691556
I don't understand what the problem actually is. What is stopping all of you from just making threads on /v/ or even /vg/. You claim you're being gates but you have free reign in at least 2 other areas. And when we say we won't change to accommodate you, you guys just start name calling and throwing a tantrum.

>>6691548
usa

But the range bans were always specific with hiro. I'd have to tell you exactly where in Florida. He's probably got blocked, from half the boards, several central florida ISPs to gain profit. The way he does it is sneaky.

Because I'm a neet I rent my wifi as a router from a library, though hate phone posters myself. It being a phone isp, half of the userbase is, means he fucks my access right up the ass. I've not been able to make a thread on any board in years over it. Often I'm range banned from all boards, other times half. It's hard to tell. It flickers off and on as the dynamic IP outfoxes it randomly.

>>6691560

as 'very possible' as meeting extra-terrestrials in the future

>>6691563
Zoomers have been trying to change the rules for 7 years. Let that sink in. 7 years of your shit. You won't win, but it's tiresome to say the least.

I'm gonn be honest it's hilarious seeing old farts scrambling to the defense of their childhood whenever they feel threatened.

>>6691565
>since the beginning
No, that rule came in at 2013 because it was 15 years prior.

>>6691564
I didn't retard. He unfairly bans a region to stay a millionaire. Look up hiro. Before he took over everyone was BITCHING a fuck TON because his own staff had kicked him out of his original chan site before.

It's not real banning retard. I unban myself from here constantly though ironically when i never even used the boards that I am range banned from.

It's all so fucking tiring.

>>6691572
I wonder how many years PlayStation kiddies were crying before 2013?

It's undeniable that the year 2000 marked a huge change culturally. Everyone at the time knew something "big" was happening. On January 1st 2000 every day ahead looked distinctly new, while everything from before felt distinctly old. It is ridiculous to deny this.
The same thing will happen in 3000. It will feel like the start of a new age, and everything that's happened in this millennium will be marked off as totally different.
Based on this, I have a suggestion. /v/ stays, always, for modern games. /vr/ stays as everything up to the year 2000. When we pass the year 3000 we create a new /v2k/ board for everything between 2000 and 3000. This seems like a fair compromise :)

>>6691586
>It's undeniable that the year 2000 marked a huge change culturally. Everyone at the time knew something "big" was happening. On January 1st 2000 every day ahead looked distinctly new, while everything from before felt distinctly old. It is ridiculous to deny this.
1999 and 2000 were practically the same culturally, things didn't really change until 9/11.

Nah the rule shouldn't change

GBA is not retro and never will be.
GameCube is not retro and never will be.
Xbox is not retro and never will be.
PS2 is not retro and never will be.
I don't care how many strawmans you have to erect and goalposts you have to move to argue otherwise, your disingenuous arguments are all in vain because nothing you say will matter. They will NEVER be retro. Ever. It's best for your mental health if you just accept it and move on. You will seethe for years. You will make thousands of shitpost GBA threads. Still nothing will change. This is a fight you cannot win. Do you know why? It's because those consoles will never be retro. No matter how long you seethe. No matter how many tears you shed. No matter how long you wait. It will never happen.

Oldfag here, was 18 in 2000. Culturally it always felt at the time that the 90s lasted well into the 00s. At least for me it wasn’t until the Myspace era and the beginnings of Web 2.0 that things started to feel appreciably different.

Why do you think I'm not alone in my demands for changes?

A region, REGION gets blocked. But sneakily to the point that it's not so obvious as he only bans you from SOME boards. So that's the flaw in the plan, we came to bitch, HOWEVER, complaining about 4chan is against the rules so there's that snag that stops us. The OP of this thread is playing a mind game on newfaggot moderation that are too reddit to remember the 'don't complain' meme all of the time, or rather, the faggots here forget to report it. I've been banned for complaining about the rules on 4chan before, but never from /v/ as I never used it. /r9k/, but never /v/.

Fuck /r9k/ is shit and should be removed along with /b/ and /pol/... but anyway,

>>6691609
No, I don't want to use gba threads over there as it is. Go and search gamecube or gba there, you won't find anything, and desuarchive and such doesn't search /v/ becuase it's so shit those guys that run archives don't even have searching enabled for me to even read DEAD gba threads.

>No, I don't want to use gba threads over there as it is. Go and search gamecube or gba there, you won't find anything, and desuarchive and such doesn't search /v/ becuase it's so shit those guys that run archives don't even have searching enabled for me to even read DEAD gba threads.
Then go bother Reddit instead or something. Why do we have to change the rules because you don't want to make /v/ threads?

>>6691602
Utterly based. Make this poet a mod.

>>6691612
Not him but probably the fact that the core rule element (1999) has never changed.
Unfair? Yes
Arbitrary? For sure
Insulting to the generation Z? You bet.
But that's how it is.

>>6691609
In case this is going over your head, /v/ is very spammed by a giant amount of zoomer newfaggots using cell phones, I have a router rented from a library, as I explain in this thread about neets being for emulation culture (31 by the by), and so because /v/ is shit and also populated he uses boards like that one to farm passes from zoomers. That's why ''''I am"""" range banned. I never even used it, no one that's really a 4chan user uses such boards. I'd use /out/ before I'd use /tv/ or /pol/ or /b/ or /r9k/ or shit 4chan says, etc etc or /v/.

And generals are cancerous.

>>6691629
>never changed
Well wrong since that rule only came to /vr/ in 2013

>>6691631
Source or proof?

>>6691629
That's not really a valid argument.
1. They changed in 2013 by addding DC into the retro roster
2. Even if they didn't change (which is false), is still doesn't indicate that they cannot be changed. It'a a fallacy

>>6691592
These posts aren't real. This "meta" thread is just a giant troll raid

>>6691618
>I don't want to use /v/
>I want to talk about GBA and gamecube
/v/ is the board for modern gaming, and GBA and gamecube are modern consoles. They would be quite happy to discuss your interests there.

>>6691627
Reddit is not as social as a high traffic imageboard. Some of us have no lives so we need imageboards, and only 4chan is active.


Other imageboards never work out so inb4.

>>6691637
>and GBA and gamecube are modern consoles
What a load of nonsense. Both GBA and Gamecube are retro consoles.

>>6691637
They're practically 20 years fucking old. For instance Golden Sun is form 2001. It's 19 years old.

Yet psx titles from 2002 are allowed, like megaman x 5.

>>6691587
>whole world is USA, the post
let me laugh in your face vigorously

>>6691639
Incorrect. The cutoff point for retro consoles is 1999. GBA and gamecube were released after this cutoff, so are not considered retro. Your discussion will be welcome on /v/

>>6691613
lol

>>6691632
So you’ve been here since after 2013?

>>6691640
megaman x5 2001 (USA)

it's the same tier

>>6691642
The cutoff point of your childhood may be 1999, luckily it has no bearing on the objective worlds, in which Gamecube and GBA are both bona fide retro.

>>6691638
I know Reddit is a slower but they even have dedicated subs just for GBA and stuff like that. You'd still scratch that "interacting with people over shared interests" itch there and it's even a place you're supposed to talk about something like that in, as opposed to here where it isn't allowed but you want to force it to be for selfish reasons.

>>6691640
see:
>>6691532

>>6691618
your "boo hoo i'm half-banned" problem in principal is irrelevant to this or any other board. like, zero relevance. using it as an argument to change /vr/ is complete strawman.

what should actually happen is hiromoot should add /vr/ to the rangebanned boards list

>>6691634
Yeah but the 1999 element was always there. The anon who claims 1999 wasn't there since the beginning needs to post proof.
It's not impossible for the retro cutoff to slide, but at this point highly doubtful.
It's not the first time /vr/ has 6th gen riot spam, and it never worked. In fact I'd say it causes the contrary reaction, /vr/ regulars become even more resistant.

>>6691613
As if we're not in our 30s. Gen x is like 40+ now.

>>6691649
>luckily it has no bearing on the objective worlds, in which Gamecube and GBA are both
modern consoles due to not being released during the established era for retro gaming, a fact which does not change depending on if your birth was after the year 1997 or not.

>>6691640
It’s nonsensical. Also the argument that only zoomers play GBA is utterly retarded. It’s patently clear that these fuckoids don’t actually gaf about games and would rather circle jerk endlessly over the same 5 N64 games they played when they were babbies.

>>6691658
>the established
[by whom?]

>>6691652
It's been an issue for the past 4 years or so at least. Maybe since 2014. My last shotted webs from this site are from 2014, as post 2007 things are, as we've agreed time and time again, only going downhill in general. By 2014 I can barely stand the site. But anyway...

Ergo the cuttoff should be 07. 4+ years this shit has been fucking me/us up the ass.

>>6691613
The whippersnappers in question are zoomers, which would make them 23 or younger, hardly mid-20s.

>>6691652
>>hiro should range ban this board too

Too low traffic. No profits.

Salty mouth breather.

>>6691660
See: the rules of the board you're posting on
>>6691659
You do realize the "they just want to talk about THEIR childhood" argument perfectly goes the other way to caricature people who want the rules to be changed, right?

>>6691667
Rules are a subject to change. Time spares no one.

>8 generations of consoles
>over 5 of them are retro
Those are some low standards you've got there.

>full scale seethe campaign for a full week now
>rules haven't changed
So we've proven at this point that your seething is accomplishing nothing. What next?

Why are you people such selfish pricks ?

until 1999 gaming was in smaller scale in every aspect.
Be it the developement teams. the number of games, the target audiance and console parc.

With the PS2 and further everything became big.

So even if PS2 era games are still relevant and can be talk about in /v/ and /vg/ cause they are still getting HD ports on Next gen consoles and PC,You still want to ruin it for people on this board with swarm of people who will outnumber every single topic or thread here?

We never could have nice things.

What would you do if 4chan ceases to exist before 6th gen is allowed?
I'd go to hiro's house and beat him to death

>>6691667
You are being bamboozled >>6691635 Just let this thread die

>>6691670
We could probably start a tiktok trend "drink bleach while playing gba challenge"
It would reduce /vr/s zoomer problem a significant degree.

>>6691673
You're clinging to your childhood too much. Life during adulthood wasn't very nice to you?

>>6691674
>giant raid
>25 IPs
It's just 1 zoomer and maybe 2 or 3 discord buddies helping him out

>>6691670
The fact that the mods haven't already changed the rules despite how many threads about this have been made is proof that they aren't going to change them. It's totally out of the hands of any regular users, whether they do or don't want it doesn't matter because the mods clearly don't.
>"t-the mods don't even go on here!"
Yes they do, not 24/7 but they do show up. And when they do, they delete GBA threads. The mods have spoken with their silence. The rules will not be changed.

>>6691680
What a subservient little fellow.

>>6691676
I guess so. Political climate cucked my teen years and now corona is cucking my adulthood.

>>6691683
If you spent enough time being an adult pre-corona you'd know that things haven't really changed much.

>>6691358
Where the fuck is that screencap from 2015 saying meta threads are /qa/ exclusive. Metatards need to be btfo.

Fine. We tried to reason with you politely and rationally. But you wouldn’t listen. MAJOR GBA thread flooding imminent. I’m talking DAILY. Multiple IPs, multiple posters, multiple GBA threads coming your way. BIG TIME. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. WE ARE LEGION. Let’s get ‘em boys.

This isn't our problem.

>>6691535
All the more reason we should allow GBA. Is Minish Cap more like Ocarina of Time or Link to the Past? Is Metroid Fusion more like Metroid Prime or Super Metroid? Then make a /v2k/ board so we never have to suffer GC/PS2/XBOX beggars here.

>>6691706
Both GBA/PS2/GC/XBOX are retro though.

Not him though.

>>6691724
More strawman bullshit. "Retro" was never about "is thing that's old". That's never what it was about and I'm honestly sick of you disingenuous faggots intentionally missing the point so you can keep making this stupid argument over and over.

>>6691730

Be so kind as to put forward your "proper" definition of retro.

>>6691704
>Was Trump really the reason why you couldn't get laid?
3rd wave feminism and metoo paranoia.
Now with corona it's basically impossible to get laid. No night clubs either.
My friends with gfs are all extra careful to not fuck things up.

>>6691358
>We’ve discussed this already, but the classic retro handheld DS absolutely should be permitted. It is considered by most to be a continuation of the classic retro console N64/PS1 and its game library consists almost entirely of classic retro 2D/3D style games. It has a strong retro vibe and soul for days. It really makes sense to be able to discuss classic 2D side scrolling action platformers such as NSMB, Kirby Mass Attack and Zoonies, to name but a few titles in its vast library of retro classic 2D gems. Not to mention retro classics like the Castlevania, Fire Emblem, Densetsu no Starfy and Golden Sun series, as well as all of the undeniably retro classics that got left in Japan. Intelligent discussion of these 2D/£D low Poly retro classic DS titles will be an overall boon to the discourse on /vr/ and enhance board culture in general.

Sounds like you're in the 19-24 range. I feel for you, but allowing gen 6 would ruin this board. Go bug the mods on IRC to make a /v2k/ board. There's a hell of a lot more justification for it than that stupid /vrpg/ board.

>>6691743
3D isn’t retro

>>6691383
You already can. It's a windows 9x game that runs comfortably on a Pentium 2.

>>6691748
I've been in relationships but one of my gfs proposed polyamory, because she claimed monogamy was a patriarchy social construct, so I broke up with her (well technically i declined her poly proposal and she left me), another gf was brainwashed into thinking I was not a good partner because my family is republican (despite I am personally not into politics), and then I started using tinder but I was always in fear of some metoo bullshit.
But now with corona, not even that is possible.
If you have a gf right now, take care of the relationship.

>>6691762
Lol you sound like a loser.

I think the status quo should continue: the 19XX hardware only rule prevents any slider bullshit that we all know will happen.
Hell, it's already happening with the GBAutist.

If there's an enhancement to be made, just remove the "with the release of the 8th generation of consoles" part of the sticky, so no one can whine about the rules.

>>6691770
I think the status quo should be changed - with the new generation of consoles approaching and PS2 celebrating it's 20th anniversary, it's painfully obvious that its gen should belong to retro.

Imagine thinking that Conker’s Bad Fur Day or Shenmue II is retro yet Ninja Five-O, a classic retro 2D side scrolling action platformer that combines the high-octane action of Shinobi with the stealth of Metal Gear and that came out only one year later for the classic retro handheld GBA is not. Like what new strain of retardation causes such irrational thoughts?

>>6691775
You know what's NOT retro? E-celebs and their pathetic worshipers.

>>6691768
If I was, I'd still be a virgin.
Anyway, in hindsight, I'd rather have metoo paranoia than corona. In fact metoo hasn't exactly go away.

>>6691771
It's not "painfully obvious" at all. Allowing this, and other non-retro consoles to be considered retro would open up the way to the PS3, PS4, and eventually PS5 to be considered retro at some point (hopefully I won't be here then).
The 19XX rule is better: no new console shall be added, and every 20XX console can be discussed on /v/.
Please don't shit up /vr/ because /v/ is shit.

>>6691781
It's only natural that as the times goes on, more obsolete hardware should be considered retro, as people who experienced them during their adolescence grew older and want to reminiscence. 20 years is a perfectly sound time span for that criteria.

>>6691782

>>6691659
I didn't imply that zoomers play gba, it's a millennial hate boner /vr/ has, it just uses zoomer the way zoomers use boomer for everyone older than a z gen.

Gba is a gen y, gc, also gen y, this board caters to gen x, of which it shouldn't because even when 4chan was new moot is only 32, a gen y, not z nor x. And the board /v/ cares for no gen y shit only gen z.

Gen y is the most unfortunate gen.

>>6691358
The cutoff year is per the audience, not the time passed. For people in their 30s like me and most posters, DMC, God of War, and Halo will never be retro, period. It does not matter how much time has passed. "Retro" is subjective, and subjectively, for us 6th gen is not retro. There is nothing to discuss and nobody to convince. This will change when we are in the minority.
Picture to attract zoomer attention.

>>6691803
>This will change when we are in the minority.
You are already a minority. Want to prove otherwise? Conduct a poll.

>>6691803
>be 31
>halo made 19 years ago
>was 13 when it came out
>implying everyone is in their late 30s here

I concur though, halo doesn't feel retro.

>>6691803
Pretty based.
That being said, is it the rules that make the population of a board, or the population of a board that make the rules?

>>6691805
Why would I conduct a poll when my definition of retru is the rule and breaking it a bannable offense? You have no idea how the world works, kid.

Division EVERYWHERE! No such thing as a compromise ever again. What could possibly go wrong?

Only real arguments against making GBA /vr/ are

>it sets the precedent that the retro cutoff for this board can be changed
>it has a close connection to a non retro system (the GC)

>>6691812
There is a board for PS2 games, fuckwit.

>>6691810
Your subservience to others when it suits your agenda is not how the world works. You assert that you are majority, but have nothing to show for it.

>>6691814
The only real argument against making GBA /vr/ is that we who were adults when it came out are making the rules. Why can't you understand this?

>>6691816
I don't have the burden of proof because I assert the status quo. Basic logic. I think you're far too young to be on 4chan, let alone /vr/. Even the blue boards are strictly 18+, boy.

>>6691824
The evidence is plentiful in this thread. If DC was made retro in 2013, then there's no reason why PS2 is not retro in 2020, unless you admit that rules are inconsistent and made on a whim of a single biased party, and thus, are worthless.

>>6691827
No, there's no evidence, you are wrong, and the status quo stands. See? I was factually right.

>>6691828
>there's no evidence, you are wrong
Repeating falsehoods as mantras would get you nowhere.

6 gen is retro. But you cant discuss it here. This is a board for pre 2000 gaming.
Notice how more than 60% of threds are 5th gen? Thats because its the only thing the threadmakers know and care about. They dont want to talk arcade games and arcades, because it died out before they even reached puberty. 70s born simply dont exist. There are certainly posters born in the 70s, but their presence is not felt, hence not existing.
I think the rules need rewriting, get rid of that awful and confusing 'with the release of x gen' because I remember wen that sticky went up and that sentance was included as everyone was sperging out 'oh theres a new generation out we can talk about dreamcast (no one cared about ps2/xbox)'.
Also, you faggots sound so gay, especially the 'not retro/never ever ever retro' (fucking cringe) and especially the loopholers. Seriously, finding loopholes is high school shit. One third are toxic little arseholes, one third are wanky little pussies who cant get their tiny little brains about what retro actually is. The other third just lurk because this board is absolute shit. There are about 6 or 7 different topics at any one time, all of them 5th gen 'why do people hate/like this game/look at this kino mario 64/SA thing/flavour of the week thread spamming.
And a new board? To talk about a period of 6 or 7 years? Get real. Jpeg board is to counter persona spam only because /v/ is sfw /b/ in terms of visits. You want /v2k/? Spam /v/ and see. All the advocates will get banned and their arent enough of you to pressure for it.

>>6691831
The cutoff is still the year 2000, and tomorrow it will remain. Therefore, I am right and you are a child.

>>6691517

Just like you're a faggot, but you can't discuss it here.

>>6691832
The funniest part is those dipshits don't want to go to /v/ whereas /v/ is a much better board in every way possible.

>>6691841
Quality post. Indicative of the excellent content this board produces. Astounding.

This can pan out one of two ways. Either we start another GBA thread about one of its many retro 2D classics and we all have a polite and enlightening discussion about it, or we start the thread, boomers seethe and screech and whine until Daddy Mod comes along and deletes the nasty un-retro thread and bans us, then we wait patiently until our bans expire and we start all over again. What’s it gonna be? The ball is in your court.

>>6691832
>6 gen is retro. But you cant discuss it here.
It's retro for those who were kids during the 00s and not retro for those who were already adults. Wrap your tiny brain around this simple concept. It is retro for some and not retro for others. As long as the latter make the rules (which is the case), the definition stands.

>>6691819
>4chan was always gen y

Horrible.

>>6691851
This is just factually wrong. They have much better retro game threads than /vr/ ever does. Just fucking try going there once before blabbing your dumb mouth. The days when /vr/ was indeed much better ended when you came here.

And? You just regurgitated what I said in long form. I dont 6 gen here at all, but you didnt read past that first line because in spite of your age, you clearly didnt mentally progress past those first outlaw star episodes did you anon?
Also, people who were kids in 00 are now in their thirties. Its odd, but true. Now im not saying old means retro because it doesnt. A fod focus is not retro, an mg 75 isnt retro. But what I am saying is whatever the iron laws are, they are not to be discussed here.

>>6691671

Go back.

>>6691782
>>6691790
Video games are a maturing craft, so just being "old enough" is not what makes something retro. Technical constraints and the maturity of the industry behind it make for start contrasts between the games of 1998 and 1988. The same cannot be remotely said between the games of 2010 and 2020.

>>6691819
Even if you are 37, the vast majority of people who have enjoyed discussing gen 4 and prior since /vr/ was created are younger than you. Being half a decade older than moot (may he RIP in pieces/burn in hell) does not give you any authority, you self-important retard. The library of the GBA has vastly more in common with the paradigms of game design of the 4th gen than it does with the 6th or even 5th. I was born in the 80's and grew up with an NES, so miss me with the "the adults are talking here" shtick.

>Being half a decade older than moot (may he RIP in pieces/burn in hell) does not give you any authority, you self-important retard.
The rules as written fully accomodate my taste, dipshit. Not because I deserve it or anything but simply because the board was made by and for people my age. When this changes, the rules will change.
You are really dumb, even for your age.

>>6691664
>People born 1997 or later had their first console in 2001
Okay m8, whatever you say.

And 4chan was always originally gen y, of whom are in their 30s.

Gen z is an invader and so are gen x invaders.

I meant on /v/ they don't have them either because they ARE retro. Faggot. You're not making any sense. it's on neither because gen y is the most trolled gen. Moot was 15 when he made this very site, a gen y he is, and he was 13 when the gba came out yet you think zoomers that are now 18, or less, want to talk about gba on either board?

kys

I just want to stop seeing onions wojaks and "zoomer" in every single thread

When rules are retarded but beneficial for one's self, then one will defend it to the death.

>>6691914
Youre as bad as he is. Youre clearly a mong.
Retro = before 2000
Simple as.
And theres still a case for 32 bit not being retro.

Oh my god I think I finally get it. Hahaha oh my FUCK this is FUCKING hilarious. The anti GBA autists here honestly think that ‘retro’ denotes a specific era, a specific PERIOD IN TIME, a specific FUCKING EPOCH IN HISTORY ... the ice age, the iron age, the middle ages .... THE RETRO AGE HAHAHAHAHA THEY ACTUALLY FUCKING THINK THAT ‘RETRO’ REFERS TO SUCH A THING AS THE ‘THE RETRO AGE’ RATHER THAN A SUBJECTIVE QUALITY THAT IS USED TO DESCRIBE CULTURAL OBJECS OH FUCK ME THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING CLOWN SHOES HAHAHAHA OH MY FUCK THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING CHUCKLEFUCKS AHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>6691880
Go there right now and control plus f gba fucking faggot.

Let me get this straight.
Some dipshits basically want a special smaller /v/ for themselves for some truly pathetic reason. /v/ is too young and /vr/ is too old for them. But pissing on /v/ is pointless because it's a sea of piss, so they choose to litter in here instead. All correct so far?

>>6691924
Voices. Heard.

>>6691927
I still think /v2k/ should be a /vg/ thread and the sticky here should link to it.

>>6691913
Strawpolls are easily riggable, sadly.

>>6691927
/v/ is a high traffic board so along with places like /r9k/ hiro range bans such boards to farm passes

see: >>6691534

>>6691927
Yes, where they can discuss why super mario sunshine is best mario, why the gamecube failed because of casuals and xbox v ps2 meme wars.

This thread just proves how autistic the average nintendo fan is. They cant talk about a modern game boy so they have to sperg out and use all sorts of whataboutism.

>>6691924
Subjectively, retro is exactly that: a particular statig age.
Objectively, there is no retro, ever, period, just the past and the present.
For each person, "retro" is a very specific period. You can't accomodate everyone's retro because it's different for different generations.
Our retro ends at the end of the century. Get bent, son.

I actually unironically want to start a board for the discussion of gaming in the 2000s, hopefully influence it to not have the problems that retro gaming has, namely just avoiding encouraging people to become collectors so the market stays cheap and healthy.

Boomers fucked up retro gaming, I think millennials could do better with our generations of games.

>>6691930
You only say that because you know that you're about to see the truth about how the rules are never what the people want.

Keep shitposting it and you'll see a high desire for change.

Oh god I’m still laffing at this ... they honest to god believe that there is a ‘retro age’ much like the middle ages that has a fixed time span and conveniently ends in 99 ... oh my fucking god the absolute delusion it’s too much ahahahahahahaha

/vr/ should just be anything too old to be suitable for /v/
anything else just leaves a hole between the two

>>6691945
That's exactly how it works subjectively, yes, son. Every generation has its own fixed retro age.

>>6691914
>but simply because the board was made by and for people my age
Your mother did a terrible thing in shaking you enough to be retarded but not enough to kill you.

>>6691939
You are not the people, you're just a whiny bitch.

>>6691945
Voices. Continue to be heard.
Meds. Still not taken.

>>6691952
>noooo why can't I discuss Halo 3 on /vr/ mooom mooooooooooooooom

>>6691946
Nope, 100% of games are suitable for /v/. /vr/ is not about that and it's not for games that are rarely discussed on /v/. /vr/ is for games made before the year 2000 specifically, because that's what a particular group of users played as kids, and for no other reason. It doesn't matter what some other group of users played as kids or any current /v/ politics. Just a board for a very specific age demographic. If you are not a part of it, you must sod off.

>>6691956
>>Y-you are not the people, you're just a whiny bitch!

40 posters on a 300 post thread.
Great content.
They should just get rid of this board. Nothing that gets discussed here cant be discussed on /v/ anyway. No one wants to talk about yu suzuki or the famicom devs, innovation in the field or magnets near tvs. They just wanna sperg out over mascots on their favourite 5th gen systems. You can do that on /v/.
Shit board.

>>6691970
It's the truth, son.

Well the choice is either
>Allow 6th gen and we get like 20% of the board discussing GameCube/PS2/GBA games
or
>Remain steadfast with the rules, despite 60% of threads currently getting derailed because some fucking cunt started REEEE'ing about "Not Retro" comments and blogging about their age

Regardless of what the rules say, you can't stop people in their 20s from coming to 4chan and they will end up comparing 5th gen games to 6th gen, if Boomers can't see that without loosing their fucking minds about >muh 1999 rule, then /vr/ is going to suck forever.
