Not him, but when someone says "millenial", I think they mean people who had their childhood during the 00s. You know, the actual millenium decade.
You were born in 88, that means that most of your childhood was during the 90s, although you were still a kid when the 00s started, you're still mostly a 90s kid.

I don't see the problem with discussing that stuff, frankly. It's very relevant to the interests of people who play on old hardware both from a collector's standpoint and because the games tend to be styled after games of this era.

People are just starting to learn about this.

It's already run it's course as old news.

Ironic people have so much to say about where 4chan has been going when they haven't looked across to ocean to see whats been happening our older brother. There aren't many comparable communities beyond these two.

It doesn't take much you know.
Besides, even though as a 1988 fag I'm technically a millennial that doesn't make me automatically a shitter, most people here are millennials anyway, no matter how much you rant about the definition being not what you like, only the gramps from the 70's are not millennials and there aren't a lot here that can boast about it.

Just don't be a retarded cunt who shitposts about retrogames, being a millennial (in the good sense of the word) isn't that bad at the end of the day.

They partnered with them after Nishimura left and the site was under new ownership. Most people who use that site strongly dislike Nishimura compared to the new admin for a host of reasons such as selling user data to companies, allegedly taking money from game companies in exchange for censoring posts critical of their games, allowing "copy/paste blogs" to repost posts on the site without permission of the users onto fake blogs to generate ad revenue to which he allegedly took a cut, as well as allegedly organizing DDoSes of of 2ch after the new admin took over, and creating a "fake" 2ch site which automatically mirrors posts from the old site which as a resulting in severe strain to their servers.

I'm not sure why this thread hasn't been deleted as it has very little if anything to do with retro games. I just hope that Nishimura doesn't try to do the same censoring of critical posts of certain game companies, even though this would almost entirely involve /v/ which I don't browse anyway. A good amount of the game companies discussed here are defunct or don't give enough of a shit about their back catalog to attempt to have discussion here censored even if given the opportunity, at least that's what I assume. So I suppose at least this board is in the clear. A lot of people here seem to dislike Moot for a lot of his actions, but Nishimura doesn't seem much different in those regards and in some ways he is and most likely will be worse.

I couldn't care less. Everybody who thinks 4chan would change a great deal, just because there is a new owner who had owned someting quite similar to our image board is a dumb asshole. And to PS2 being allowed soon, get over it. Time progresses and everything gets older. For the younger generation PS2 is retro and for them, having a place to discuss their retro gen is totally legitimate. For me, not even N64 is retro, I was already 16 when it came out. Your picture, OP, is NOT retro either. So go fuck yourselves and stop bitching about the natural cycle and how 4chan is developing. You are just one of a million on here and in a democratic society, what is important is the good for the majority, including the PS2-generation, not your whiny special treatment, because you're discontent when you could well fuck off instead.

Yes. For me, anything digital on CD is not retro - neither Sega CD nor PSX. What is retro depends on the eye of the beholder. For some even PS3 games are retro, you cannot really draw a 'retro line'. I am ok with people who think otherwise and do not denounce them at no time just because they are younger.

good, there should be a more leeway on what is considered retro, PS2 is over 2 generations old.

The issue would be that a lot of games which aren't very old at all would be let in, I still think that if the PS2 is going to be let in any time soon, it should have some kind of cutoff date, like 2006 at it's latest.

If we were to allow the GBA (which I definitively think we should), I think we can give it a pass for dates, as the very most of it's games are very much 4th gen and somewhat 5th gen in execution and style.
That's just my personal opinion though.

>> No.2696228

>Only the games I played with as a kid are retro
This is fucking retarded. There are very clear categories for video game ages, even beyond the generation conventions.

/vr/ is supposed to be a place where you can be free of all the drama and bullshit associated with modern gaming. THAT'S the point of it. It should maybe just be open to discussion of any console that commercial games are no longer being produced for. That would probably be enough to defeat most of the /v/ shit.

Over my dead body. I don't mind the Dreamcast but I did mind the mounds of shitposting that banning/allowing it brought, it'd get even worse if you started adding things from a new generation. We might as well just let you discuss the PS3 and 360 since those aren't current gen consoles anymore.

OK, it's your opinion. Doesn't mean we should avoid discussing N64 and instead discuss the PS2 on /vr/, doesn't make any sense.

>Also, GTA 3 is a nice game, you should try it someday.

I played it when it came out. Not a big fan of sandbox/open world. But if you like them, there's Body Harvest on the Nintendo 64 which is like a proto-GTA3 made by the same devs.

>I only tried the SFC Goemon games until today

So you tried the 64 games or not? If not, do so, they're pretty good.

>specially considering any thread with a Sat/PS1/N64 as topic image tends to get 300 replies of "MUH FAVOURITE CONSOLE IS BETTER THAN YOURS LOL" followed by sales numbers, magazine articles, screenshots showing jaggies and shit like that.

Not shitting on Fantavision, but he said he'd rather talk about early PS2 games, and well... Fantavision is an OK tech demo, but I'd rather talk about Sin and Punishment which is a more fleshed out game that came around the same time, in a console with older hardware.
