Make the PS2 and GBA retro this year.

Never ever. The 5th gen represents the final days of the arcade tradition, where games were games, and stories were found in libraries. Amongst other things: risk-taking, auteur developers, creative solutions to hardware limitations, etc.

Video games are bigger than Hollywood now. The medium is tainted.

Naomi and Atomiswave were more than successful during 6th gen.

MGS, FF... 5th gen was the first "modern gaming" gen.

If you think 6th gen had no good games then idk, look into some Hardcore Gaming 101 articles. Not to read their writings but to get a glimpse of good 6th generation games. You'll see they are more than plenty.

With all due respect, I already have to deal with kids who make Spyro and N64 nostalgia posts and that shit came out when I was in university. If this is a board for old games, eventually Halo is going to be old the same way Ocarina is old and we'll have to deal with the people who played them when they were 5.

That's just life.

The only reason I include 5th gen is because it includes some of the swan songs of 16-bit developers who couldn't quite adapt to 3D development. Neo Aleste comes to mind. I'm quite aware of Kojima's nonsense.

Nowhere did I say there were no good games since, just that the climate is completely different, and that none of us want that shit polluting this board.

There are still plenty of gameplay focused games, you just have to be willing to look for what you want and try out things on your own. Games are just way, way bigger than they ever used to be. Can't rely on developers or even critics to be your curator anymore. You have to go out and find what gets you excited.

I think the best reason to include 5th gen is that it's old and getting older every day.

Real talk, the shitposting on /vr/ is way worse than the shitposting on /v/. We're /pol and /b tier here right now. It's a shitty situation and I don't think letting 6th gen be talked about will make it better, but I could hardly see it making it worse.

Personally I think this board should go by date. Either 10 years, 15 years or 20 years being the cut off. Doesn't really matter which, but it would make things more clear, give new things to talk about on a daily basis and clear up confusion because the rules as is are retarded. Pic very related.

That's why I said it was YOUR job to look. Don't rely on other people to tell you what you should play. Video games are way more diverse than ever before, but that also means there are far more to sift through. If you depend on other people to tell you what you should be liking then you'll always be disappointed. Take some responsibility and go look for yourself.

Making a movie with a camera from the 80s doesn't make it an 80s movie, anon. I mean good on them for tackling the constraints of old hardware, but not retro. Are the White Stripes a 70s band? No. Do we have to get into a sociological discussion? I'd rather not.

Everyone agrees, and yet because the rules were made by idiots who didn't think first, that game is perfectly acceptable for this board because it can run on Genesis hardware. Making the cutoff by console instead of date is just plain retarded.

There are more games in more genres being made now than ever before. If you sincerely can't find anything modern that appeals to you then I firmly believe you're either being lazy and not bothering to look beyond the AAA releases or you just don't like video games.

But here's the thing, I can't tell you what you will like because you're not me. 20 years ago there was a limited scope so it was easy to point to what someone should play.

My whole post was I love modern games because as a gamer I have found a multitude of modern games I fucking love.

Now if you don't want to go look for games that suit you that's your decision. But if you choose not to and just stamp your feet and scream that there's nothing out there that you like then I will just laugh at you.

>> No.3485385

>>3485360
And the anon assumes that I don't already do these things. That I don't play modern games, or sift through the garbage to find something worth playing. None of that matters anyway, it has no bearing on whether 6th gen ought to be included in /vr/.

We were never talking about some binary situation where games were good, and then they were bad. We're talking about the culture of an era. That's something a little bit ineffable. Obviously from our biased perspective, whether it's true or not, we're apt to say here that games were generally better in the old days. But retro gaming is so much more than that. For as much as we talk about games, we talk about memories and life experiences.

If we must find a solution to this situation, I think two boards consisting of 3-4 gen, and 5-6 gen is the best solution. This way there's a sort of segregation between 2d and 3d, and between pre and post Sony eras.

Get off my lawn.

100% agree. We should include it because it's old. Quality is of no bearing on any of this. We can talk about trashy NES games already with no issue.

2 boards is ridiculous, when you take into account how slow this one is already to the others it's even more so. We need more traffic here, not less. It's the same 5 conversations over and over.

How does that change that I was playing games in 3D more than 10 years before that? The 2D/3D generation thing is almost entirely consoles. You're ignoring half of gaming.

How is 3D acceleration important to 3D gaming. Hmm. Real mystery there.

Daggerfall is actually true 3D, despite its copious use of billboards, but it uses software rendering and fucking tanked hardware back in the day, and occasionally runs like cold molasses in DOSBox. Does it belong with 3-4 gen games? Yes.

I guess it came across as console centric. "Generations" as such are harder to delineate in the PC ecosystem. If we were to create multiple boards, where do you draw the line with PCs. I'm inclined to say start with the grab bag of competition in the 80s and early 90s, say C64, Amiga, DOS, etc. and then put native Windows games on the other side.

>> No.3485482

>"Generations" as such are harder to delineate in the PC ecosystem.

Precisely. Which is why setting up the board to go by console generation is so shortsighted. We don't need another board though, this one just needs rules that make sense. It's for old games so it should just go by date. 20 years, 15 years, whatever.

This isn't Reddit. We don't need a billion different sub forums for everything. That's there if you want it. /vr/ is already slow and in order not to stagnate it needs to be allowed to grow.
