So my thread on /v/ just got deleted and I got banned for starting a flamewar.

I posted a SEGA thread. I guess just mentioning SEGA around there tonight is too much.

So now this is my new home!

Can we get a required playing thread going so I can figure out just what is expected of me around here. Best of lists from any consoles just so I make sure I catch everything I haven't in my travels to retroland.

You're not going to be able to play everything on that list, what are your genres? Also Genesis and Dreamcast get more love here than Saturn. We love Saturn too but going straight to the big-bucks system makes you seem like a hipster.

>You're not going to be able to play everything on that list

I already have. At least I've played through all the stuff that interests me at all.

Also I've probably played through everything good on the Genesis and most of everything on the dreamcast. I'm looking for nintendo stuff, or other systems older than the SEGA/Nintendo war, or concurrent with them that didn't get as much press.

Really just looking for lists of ideas to keep my occupied. Also looking as to what everyone around here gravitates toward.

>there are no constant "3X3" threads
>no gamergate

>no "le retro" indie games
>no viral marketers or people claiming everyone with a different opinion is one
>no bullshit, just games and discussion
>and no, you can't talk about PS2, Gamecube or Xbox here either.
>also: don't fucking make 40 topics an hour about what the best version of whatever game is (this is /vr/, so the only correct answer is "the original") and don't fucking ask vaguely for recommendations without telling us what you like. Those threads are or version of cancer and you'll get a lot of shit over it.

Not starting shit, just trying to keep the bullshit to a minimum. And new posters often think this place is /v/ 2.0 or something and run amok acting like retards because they think it's OK here.

It's not. Be civil, be on topic, be polite, or get out. Period.

Also: Sega in general has always been a fairly limited platform for mostly niche games. So starting yourself off like that was a good move. It shows us that you're taking this seriously.

Alright, thanks for the heads up.

I figured this place was a lot more civil. I've dabbled here from time to time. I'm usually on /lit/ or /sci/ or other boards like that, but /v/ is sorta like a habit you can't quit.

Also, just a clarification...is there like a cut-off year in terms of what's out and what's in on consoles? Like, you said PS2, Gamecube and Xbox are out, but what about Dreamcast? Is it Stuff that's pre-2000?

Just don't want to step on any toes. I know the old saying is lurk moar, but I figure quickly pulling off like a bandaid while sharing some games we all like might be better.

Nobody expects shit.

Why do you feel the need to validate your enjoyment with other people's approval?

The majority of Sega games can be emulated, or probably found reasonably affordable if you want to own the real deal.

Try games. You'll either like them or dislike them. Read reviews beforehand if you want to spoil it for yourself.

This board is more accurately one of the top most autistic boards on 4chan. It is really overwhelming when coming from a less autistic board. When coming from one of the most toxic, worst boards on 4chan, though, it can seem refreshing.

With retro Sega, look for developer. With the Genesis, check out anything with the Sega, Toaplan, Konami, or Capcom logos on it. Most of it will be pretty awesome.

No, my point is that QTEs don't make a game not a game. If you argue it does, you're saying Dragon's Lair and its ilk aren't, despite doing the same things.

I'm watching Video Games: The Movie (it's terrible, don't bother) and for a documentary that purports to be a history of video games, Sega is fucking ignored. Nintendo gets most of the attention, and even then it's heavily glossed over. Most other consoles/companies aren't acknowledged whatsoever.

Speaking as someone who grew up as a Nintendo fanboy, I'm pretty pissed by how no one's getting their dues, especially Sega.

They aren't in all games, though. I'm not ignoring anything, you're exaggerating your ass off.

QTEs seem to be a very generic complaint, right up there with people calling the original Xbox the "FPS" system when in fact only a fraction of the games were FPS games.

It's the same concept. Compensation for a player's lack of skill. Now go ahead and point out where I said QTE's are in every game. What I've been saying from the first post is that it's a big problem in games now whereas decades ago it was not.
