/vr/ - Retro Games

why do you care so much

>>2648203
Because bitching can be avoided by a simple answer from mods.

Pretty simple really.
If you enjoy the shit posting then good for you.

The mods already spoke.
>>1392415

>1999 and earlier

GBA was 2001
GBA is welcomed on /shitstorm/... I mean /v/

No. It's not retro. The gamecube, ps2, xbox, and any console/handheld made in the year 2000+ won't be retro for a very long time.

>>2648207
/v/ openly hates the GBA though

>>2648209
/v/ hates everything, what else is new?

>>2648212
>>2648208
Either the whole sixth generation is retro or none of it.

>>2648224
I, for one, welcome the thought of Ico and Gitarooman threads.

>>2648228

I don't.

>>2648224
That means we would be taking about games released as late as 2014. Even worse, garbage like halo be allowed to be talked about.

>>2648207
/vr/ was established in 2013, and the rules haven't changed since.

To be fair, I would imagine the rules changing in 2 years, tops. Even Nintendo classifies it as a "classic" console.

>>2648207
The why are the mods not deleting GBA threads? They will opening delete shitposting within them tho not the actual thread itself.

Why are the mods not adhering to the rules?

>>2648231
>muh Halo/Cowadooty boogeymen
I'm fine with having threads about brovidya on /vr/ we already have Doom generals after all, as long as we don't have the usual /v/ porn/anti-SJW posters again Doom threads are pretty civil over here, I can see /vr/ having civil Halo threads as long as we deal with shitposters.

>>2648212
Lol that is definitely not Unreal Tournament

/vr/ mods suck ass

Wouldn't be surprised if they come from /v/

>/vr/
>mods

Pick one

>>2648254
MoH, KH and GTA, don't know the racing game

>>2648243
I don't want a bunch of underage halo/cod faggots being allowed here talking shit about doom/quake.

>>2648264
>MoH
that's CoD, mind you

also the racing game is obviously Need for Speed

>>2648202
I don't think the 1999 rule for platforms will change until 9th generation starts, which probably won't be another 3-4 years at the very least.

For when it gets to the point of changing the year, I'd probably go with 2003, and then make a special rule to ban 6th gen games that came from 2007 and onwards, and any 2005 and 2006 multi-platform game that also has versions on 7th gen consoles. Not 100% sure on this thought, though.

>>2648212
dreamcast isn't retro, however said it was simply is not very bright.

>>2648270
>and then make a special rule
Mods dont even know the current rules hence this thread.

>>2648271
Dreamcast is retro, came out before 2000

From past experience, I can answer that question for them.
Sometimes it's okay, sometimes it isn't.
If they delete the thread, it isn't okay.
If they leave it up, it is.

>>2648271
Yes, the Dreamcast is considered retro here. Read the sticky.
But if the mods were to suddenly decide it wasn't, then it wouldn't be anymore.

Get the picture now?

cutoff date should be september 11, 2001 (aka the date games stopped being about fun)

>>2648202
Guess /vr/ doesn't have mods.

>>2648312
Mods are global.
Janitors are only for certain boards.

>Get someone who'll work for zero compensation
>expect them to do a good job

>>2648330
So do they actively avoid this board? It seems they don't even know the rules.

>muh rules
get a life spergs

>>2648312
maybe they realized they have no need to, why bother when the usual 10 or so autists will just scream for mods derailing the thread and barely making it not retro anymore

>>2648336
Says the 4chan poster

>>2648212
A+

>>2648208
In far far future of 2040
GBA is stil not retro

>>2648336
this attitude is part of the reason why /v/ is such a garbage board.

This board is the most irrelevant one on 4chan tbh

>>2648365
>>>/mlp/

>>2648365
what?
irrelevant to what?
i don't think the word means what you think it does

>>2648365
nah probably /po/ or something

>>2648365
Agreed. At least /v/ has new games coming out, so they don't have to circle jerk over the same catalog of games over and over

>>2648374
>new rehashes of old games
Lel

>>2648212
Those screenshots are wrong.

>>2648382
naaaaww rieally >??

>>2648374
yes, /v/ has new games, but most of the time, it's literally nothing but shitposting. Especially if it's a hyped game that's expected to be big.

>>2648207
That was a long time ago. Opinions have changed since then. The sticky just needs to be updated.

MODS ARE GODS.

>>2648264
>>2648268
Fucking hell, the "racing game" is obviously GTA III, a game so archaic I would consider it "retro" nowadays.

>>2648209
No they don't, I see GBA threads all the time, and they always have the least shitposting

>>2648202
GBA is like, a handheld SNES right?
I thought people liked the SNES.

>>2648408
/v/irgin here, i can confirm this.

GBA is still halfway GB/GBC (because compatibility), so it's hard for GBA not to come up around here.

>>2648284

not this one.

>>2648212
Holy shit this image

>>2648212
According to your logic games like Shovel Knight are retro. Retro is more than just looks

>>2648330
>Mods are global

While this is true, most mods have a particular board they camp in and AFAIK they're almost all in the anime boards, /co/, and /v/.

>>2648605

That logic makes sense though. You do realize most the games on GBA were just SNES games made portable, right? there's a lot of 90's games on GBA. It's essentially a portable SNES that came out "1 year too late" for this board.
