I've seen more than one legit thread mysteriously vanish from the catalog, not to mention random posts getting deleted despite not breaking any rules. At this rate, /vr/'s higher quality in comparison to /v/ is getting equalized by the far worse moderation.

>>2318196
the problem is we don't have any janitors so janitors from other boards with no knowledge of how /vr/ is see that a post has been reported, they read it, out of context, and delete it.

what we need is an actual /vr/ janitor or moderator

just not NESfag

For a guy who claims to be the harbinger of good taste in gaming, he is pretty pleb when it comes to movies.
>Max Payne is a 4/5 for me. The atmosphere, style, snowy noir New York with leather jackets: it's just heaven for me, and it's brought to life so well, that I find myself rewatching the movie almost in the same way I rewatch Lost in Translation (though a lot less, since that movie is a masterpiece): simply to be immersed for a while it its environment, even if I know the plot by heart by now and hardly even pay attention to it.
Max Payne was a dull action movie with miscast actors and.a plot that was pretty predictable. It did cured my insomnia though.

Anyone who's not okay with shitposting really shouldn't be spending their time on 4chan. However, we at least like to keep the shitposting on topic. If you want to talk about newer games, there are plenty of places to do it.

Don't pretend as if games like Diablo 2 and Age of Empires 2 aren't fully allowed despite being past the rules.

I agree with that so long as the game being discussed is retro according to the definitions of this board. If it's not then /v/ is the better place for a thread about it or /fr/ is it's popular enough or fits into one of the generals that tend to get posted.
