/vr/ - Retro Games

>>6775936
this, fuck the mods this board is a sinking ship. /v/ faggots need to go back and we need to revert all the way back to 4th gen. purge this board.

>>6775936
GBA rules, reddit is happy to have you back

fuck nigger mods

Quit whining. It'll settle down after a week or two.
If this is a legit meta thread, can generals be allowed here? I think that GTA/Halo/Melee would warrant them and prevent the board from being overrun.

>>6775936
>>6775952
>>6775967

Shut the fuck up.
It was well overdue.

>>6775973
GTA already has a goddamn general on the general board.

faggot retard mods
>HURR ITS JUST LIKE RETRO GAMES IF IT BECOMES OLD ENOUGH
zoomers really do have brain problems

>>6775985
v2k was well overdue, you're right

>>6775936
>>6775967
reported. /vr/ is NOT your blog.

>>6775973
kill yourself faggot.

>>6775973
Does this mean_____are banned on other video game boards? No!_____is just a separate board specifically focused on_____where discussions about your favorite games can thrive.

RIP /vr/ - the last good board on 4chan
Died August 28 2020

lmao at the seething boomers.

>>6775973
DOOM has a general here, so I don't see why not.

>>6775994
If you'd prefer dozens of GTA threads on /vr/ we can try it that way too.

>It wasn't an elaborate ruse
>What could've been a hilarious beginning to /v2k/ ended up just being a mod power push
We could've had a cute little emo sister.

>>6776019

Why are kids such shitheads?

I agree with the change

eat shit boomers, halo and GBA is retro

>>6776032
I've been here since 2014.

>>6775936

No. /vg/ exists for a reason

This could pretty much destroy the board due to the autism, either send them to /vg/ or limit to 1 thread at a time but not a general

Honestly, I'm just tired. This was an outright malicious act, another one in a long list of them not caring about the people who use this site. It just sucks because there's no where to go now.

>>6776048
This board didnt exist in 2014

>>6776067
Yes it did, retard.

>>6775936
funny how this board is now basically /v/ a decade ago
you guys blew having a great retro game board

Where's the guy that said 6th gen would never be allowed here?

>>6775952
>we need to revert all the way back to 4th gen
Based. I'll gladly lose WonderSwan discussion to get rid of all the 3D shit. Opening posts that mention non-retro remakes should be banned too.

>>6776032
>anyone I don't like is zoomers!
This is how I know you're a zoomer.

>>6776105
it wasnt just one person. This isn't facebook dumbass

>>6775936
>unanimous disapproval
Sorry, one lone person flicking his IP and spamming the meta thread doesn't count as "unanimous disapproval" how many posts did you make in that thread? at least 1000 by my count.

>>6776064
We might as well be reddit now. How much longer before you're required to sign up for a 4chan account and each post has ages/sages?

I will miss Gen 2 threads that lasted more than 24 hours.

>>6775936
>thinking they would give a single solitary fuck about any feedback
Was the creation of 4 more /v/ boards nobody asked for not proof enough for you?

>>6776064
Stay here and be the change you wish to see. Nobody is stopping you from creating NES threads.

Get over it.
WE 6TH GEN NOW BOYS

>>6776117
no it was definitely one person, you could easily gather this by monitoring his late night posting habits, sometimes it'd just be him posting on the board and from there it was easy to glean his posting style. Of course he's too fat and stupid to realize people actually can ID him just by how he posts.

>>6776139
They might have lived longer but the discussion was still garbage. This board was never good.

>>6776064
Jesus I never even knew about those boards,what a fuck up

>>6776140
Don't understand why they think it makes sense to make 300 boards, but didn't make sense to make a /v2000/ or whatever instead of fucking /vr/'s rules.

Nobody talked about 3rd gen and before anyway

>>6776139
Same. Sad to see what happened to /vr/

Maybe one day a mod or admin with sense comes back and salvage this. But until then I guess I'll have to leave the board

>>6776064
Right. Fuck them tosspots. We'll just have to find a new place to hang out. I guess it's good to have a change up every now and then anyway. There was a nice board going on here but they just had to come in and shit on it for no reason.

Retro is not a treadmill. If sites can exist discussing spectrum alone there was enough material and people to discuss this incredibly interesting period in gaming history. But you know if there's a big red button that says "DO NOT PRESS, THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE" you just know some fucking retard out there is some day going to do it just to feel powerful and see what happens.

cant wait for 7th gen threads in 7 years

>>6776184
4chan is dead anyway. this was the last reason I even came here

>>6776032
They have nothing else, hate boomers for having lived in better times than them, and just want to see the world burn.

If this is the way it's going to be then I won't be browsing /vr/ any more. I don't want to see this board when they roll in Xbox 360 discussion and further.
It was fun while it lasted, /vr/tual boys.

>>6776205
You won't live that long, boomer.

>>6776173
>Nobody talked about 3rd gen
Well I'm glad the infestation of 12 year olds from /v/ has already started.

>>6776138
Even Reddit's main retro games board doesn't consider 6th gen (besides GBA) retro. We're literally worse than Reddit now. Let that sink in.

>>6775973
kys

>>6776110
This. also, I won't have to be autistic about the difference between WS and WSC anymore

This change is great because it's making all the obsessive schizos leave. I'm all for it.

>>6775936
>Phone games are now retro
Yes, fuck yes. This board belongs to /symbian/ now

>>6776248
Why? My side won :)

>>6776225
I hope

>>6776161
Project off a cliff, commie faggot.

>>6776067
Holy shit what a newfag, it absolutely did.
And what gave it that retro feel, now that the dust has settled?

>>6776246
>4chan catered to whiny redditors
This site is literally fucking dead

>>6776064

Someone got b& for that too

>>6776212
>for having lived in better times than them
The boomer actually believes this.

>make a bunch of videogame splinter boards nobody asked for

Gosh, our moderators are truly such epic trolls, one might say epic for teh win.

Cunts.

>>6776284
>projection
okay anon, reminder that only one of us is dedicated to this board (you) and the other one just likes getting you to make an ass of yourself (me?)

You know, if anything it would make more sense to make a board strictly for the discussion of current gen games. /v/ is kind of stuck in the past culturally anyway. How many people on /v/ do you think even bought an 8th gen console, except maybe to play Bloodborne?

ITT: Baby's whinging about a non issue. 6th gen is retro now.

>>6776067
The last sticky was from 2014, tranny redditor.

>>6776064
I asked for a multiplayer board

>>6776263
Only pedophiles and feeble-minded people would be "all for" hoards of zoomers being a part of the discussion. I'm out.

>>6776330
It's not, sorry.

>>6776067
lmao wat

>>6776334
>hahaha mooommm look I called someone a tranny again!!

Talking about 6th gen isn't a problem in and of itself, it's more the precedent that has been set for so long that people have already been trying to push the envelope on. 99% of the 6th gen threads we've seen today weren't people looking for genuine engagement in talking about a game they like, it's all shitposting. It just sucks because like, I'd like to talk 6th gen too, but there is going to be that inevitable crunchy period right after it is allowed where all of the shitposters have a field day with the board. I mean honestly though between Sega System this, scotformer that, "quintessential" being tossed around like it's going out of style, is the board really a shitpostless oasis without 6th gen anyway? I'm down with some growing pains if it means we get the flood out of the way and can get back to the important stuff like being vapid contrarians...

/gUSGgC join fuck /vr/

Retro = whatever ABIB wants to talk about. Give it a few weeks and PS3 will be retro because PS4 Pro was a new console.

> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I GREW UP WITH IT SO IT'S NOT RETRO
> WHAT DO YOU MEAN OTHER GENERATIONS EXIST NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Shitposting aside, boomers vs zoomers aside, let's think about it more clearly:
By changing the rules here, they COULD have solved the 6th gen spam problem (by simply making it legal, which would not let everybody happy, but at least they wouldn't have to deal with reports all the time), BUT, they fucked it up because the rules are even more confusing now, 2001 cutoff for consoles, 2007 cutoff for games.
This means that now they will have 2 issues: people angry about the rule changes (to be fair, people were also not happy with the old rules, so OK moot point here, but still an issue they will have to deal with), and the fact the rules are even more intricate now. The old rules allowed discussion for all pre-1999 consoles freely, with the only gray area being PC gaming, and some people claiming they could run certain more modern games with pre-1999 PC hardware. But now, this issue is multiplied greatly. If people just want to talk about some PS2 game released in 2008, they will do it, so mods will get constant reports of PS2 games from after the cutoff, and they will have to be constantly double-checking the release dates on wikipedia and what not to make sure the reports are valid.
All of this could have been avoided with a Y2K board. All consoles all games from systems released on 2000 and up until current gen, that means that with the release of 9th gen, the new board would have incorporated 6th, 7th and 8th gen.
Easier to mod, clear rules, and as far as I could tell, no upset people at all, except maybe for the few actually insistent 6th gen guys who want it to be /vr/ at all cost, but most people I think would be chill with having a Y2K board to discuss 6th gen and 7th gen, without weird software cutoff dates.
I still don't get why they chose this option instead of the easier, more logical one.

>>6776317

>>6776348
>hoards of zoomers
Dude, the PS2 is 19 years old.
If someone grew with a PS2 here is most likely 19 to 25 already. Stop being so anal

>6th gen will never be ret-NOOOOOOOOOO

Me too.

>>6776013
This board was never good to begin with

>>6775936

>consequences will never be the same

>>6776310
enjoy your collapsing economy, pandemic, garbage entertainment/media, and millions of imported shitskins destroying everything, zoomer-kun.

>>6776141
Why couldn't you just take your own advice here instead of shitting up everything you touch, Marxist?

>>6776205
just gonna point out that the gap from PS3 to now is about the same as the amount of time from SNES to PS3.
>>6776359
the shitposting will die down, I'm sure of it. Most of it are /v/ migrants looking for any excuse to shitpost and complain.

>>6776330
it'snot

>>6776134
take your meds schizo

>>6776359
They can't even get a fucking clear rule for gen 6. /v2k/ for gen 6 and 7 would have been an actual functional option.

>>6776385
>The PS2 is 19 years old
So the "20 year-old generation is retro" standard was never legitimate?

>>6776002
V2k, is the superior option.
Maybe if we complain and bitch enough, they will create that instead.

I for one welcome our new 6th gen overlords

>If this is the way it's going to be then I won't be browsing /vr/ any more. I don't want to see this board when they roll in Xbox 360 discussion and further.
It was fun while it lasted, /vr/tual boys.

>>6776428
>just gonna point out that the gap from PS3 to now is about the same as the amount of time from SNES to PS3.
Retro never started from the middle of the 4th gen, you fucking idiot.

>>6776437
Clarity on the rules only really counts for the mods/jannies, just use your brain and you'll be fine. If some zoomie can't figure the rules out and posts a shit thread, may the mod hand be strong.

Go cry me a river boomer. Nobody gives a shit about dead rotting consoles like the NES or SNES anymore. They should be considered ancient. They are antiques. They are relics of the past. Time to go to the old folks home grandpa, I’m sure the people there would love to talk about “mega man”.

>>6776302
Good. That's a terrible idea.

>>6776428
>Most of it are /v/ migrants looking for any excuse to shitpost and complain.
I confirm I'm from /v/ and I'm just here to see the /vr/oomers seethe

>>6776451
They've only been making new boards no one asked for, we'll only ever get v2k we all stop asking for it.

I think I'm officially out. I have an idea of where I'll be going instead, but I have a feeling I'm going to have a lot more free time. It was fun while it lasted. Enjoy your /v2.0/, 6th gens. It's apparently what you wanted.

>>6776032

seethe and cope you impotent boomer

>>6776520
so leave instead of posting about leaving for the last 8+ hours

>>6776019
They aren't even boomers though. It's just a bunch of like 17 year old kids that want to have that retro "street cred" for playing NES or the Turbo Grafix shit so they didn't want the Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube to be considered retro because those systems aren't nearly special snowflake-y enough for them.

>reddit spammers have more influence on 4chan than actual 4chan users
Honestly this is the ultimate cucking I have ever seen, seriously it would be funny if not sad

>>6776472
SNES absolutely was considered "retro" back in 2006, though.

These faggot trolls couldn't even maintain their own 6th gen general discussions on /vg/ (which is all they really needed in the first place), and the retard mods caved in to their shitposting.

Pathetic.

/v2k/ would have been a much better choice, but what's really ridiculous is that the Persona, Ace Combat, and Metal Gear games on PS2 were all still regularly discussed on /v/, along with all sorts of other 6th gen titles. I'd say what's discussed is ultimately more important than what constitutes "retro"

I love it. Hopefully the /vr/ autists will kill themselves in rage.

>>6776545
you've been crying for almost an entire working day about the based rule change. Imagine how much money you would've made working a job you're actually suited for

Time for me to leave this board, I don't want to deal with the high-speed 6th gen shitposting.

It was a good board, and I really enjoyed the pinball and the pc-98 threads.

Fuck the mods for being retarded and caving in.

>>6776545
Nobody except the most autistic uses /vg/ in the first place.

Just delete the board. It's hopeless.

>>6776568
You won't be missed, retard.

where the fuck can I talk about 70s-80s games now? i don't want to join a shitcord circlejerk

>>6776568
They also ruined the jay

>>6776361
What is this even for?

>>6776601

I would love to see the face of that one autist right now that posted "GBA WILL NEVER BE RETRO" in all the GBA threads

>>6776428
>just gonna point out that the gap from PS3 to now is about the same as the amount of time from SNES to PS3.
Well let's see - fourth gen to seventh gen is 7-4 = 3 generations. PS5 to PS3 is... if we're clevar here we can say 2 generations, do YOU see how I did it?

SNES release date 1990. PS3 release date 2006. PS5 release date 2020.

Still doesn't work dipshit. I guess failure on basic arithmetic is what we'll have to come to expect around here from now on.

>>6776609
>>6776617
fuck you

>>6775936
WHY ARE THE MODS ALLOWING THE BOARD TO FLOOD

>>6776613
d*scord

>>6776568
It's not even a goddamn day and already the board is nothing but garbage gen 6 shit. This is the exact reason nobody wanted them here. Assholes need to make a thread for every damn thought that enters their brain.

>>6776568
>>6776593
Bye söyböys

>>6776565
What's the point in that? You will now just have a 6th gen board ("/vr/") and a 7th-current gen board ("/v/"). Enjoy your new gray paradise, Marxist zoomtranny.

>>6776601
Sorry. But Discord is your only option now. Try not to fall for the tranny spell

>>6776542
You couldn't release a light remaster of a SNES game on the GC, and have it still feel like a brand new game though. Does anyone pick up SotC on PS4 and think "wow, this is some oldschool gaming, right here"?

>this board is a sinking ship

What was your first clue? In the next 10 years Ps3 Wii, and Xbox 360 is going to be retro. It was doomed from the start

>catalog is nothing but unironical 6th gen threads
well, it was a good ride, loved you guys, wish you all the best and mods please go die of aids

>>6776626
its the truth anon...
while being more alive than ever now this board is also fucking dead

>>6776000
Your seething is unsightly, either cope or leave.

>>6776635
Correct.
No idea why they didn't go for /v2k/ or something.

>>6776385
>>6776440
PS2 is actually over 20 years old, since it came out in March 2000.

>>6776624
Well aren't you "clevar"

It was gonna happen someday, one way or another and the grrr not retro autist was honestly far more annoying than the PS2fags. Once upon a time a 67 Chevelle SS wasn't a classic car either.

Seethe reddit collector faggot lmfao

>>6776645
I tried it once, Shitcord attracts the biggest, most obnoxious moronic attention whores ever. Once I got banned from like 3 servers because one retard who was modding them all got mad that I promoted piracy of retro games I had enough

these 6th gen consoles are older now than the PS1 and N64 were when this board was created

>>6776690
But they could have made a new board. They just made like 4

>>6776601
Make a /vr/ board on 8 chan.moe. That site was created by some staff members of 8/v/ when they realized 8kun was shit.
