Why do they need to be? There are websites focused on only consoles from one company, or even just one console. /vr/ isn't supposed to be some database of video game history, it's just a discussion board focused on a certain timeframe.

I also feel that the addition of later gens will just push less-discussed topics off the board even more. Just start discussions of these systems on /v/, it's not like /vr/ is some shitpost-free paradise.

If the dreamcast is retro, then so is the rest of that gen.

It makes no sense that the ps2, Xbox and gamesquare aren't retro but the dreamcast is. Because it died quicker? Then the Xbox should be retro too. It's been ten years since they stopped making games for it.

If we allow 6th gen, people who grew up with 7th gen (which was 10 years ago, there's already people over 18 who were kids when PS3 and 360 came out) will start whining about adding 7th gen as well.

We already discussed this so many times, and the best consensus we came up with is that we need a /v2k/ board and leave /v/ for current gen only and general shitposting.

>> No.3695987

No and it never will be.

The DC is the last remnant in the feeling of the retro era of video games. Besides it came out before December 31st, 1999 which is the cutoff date.

The other consoles while old than the modern consoles have a modern feel to them, and that's never going to change. As in never ever fucking ever. Stop making these threads.

Honestly we don't even talk about the DC anyways, we could just drop it from the exceptions list. It'll always be 2000 and earlier. Even 20 years from now.

I'm not saying 6th gen isn't or isn't "retro", but it sure isn't /vr/.
This board has a set rule, and you have to accept it. 4chan isn't a public space, it's a private site.

Also, when do you kids will learn how this site even works? Whine all you want, but all you're doing is making the regulars here even less prone to accept what you want, the more you bitch, the less we want 6th gen on here.

I gave this advice to people like you many times, and I'll give it to you: e-mail Hiro, the admin of 4chan.
He's the only one who can make such changes. Regular anons can't, janitors can't, mods can't. It's hiroyuki's decision. So if you want to discuss Halo and Kingdom Hearts and Melee on /vr/, by all means, send an e-mail to hiroyuki and tell him how evil the anons over at /vr/ are for not accepting your childhood as retro. If he cares, then the rules will be changed and you will be able to discuss that shit here.

We don't have mods here (they can change the rules) only janitors (can only delete posts, threads and issue short bans). We had a mod like 5 years ago, and he allowed the DC to be /vr/, that guy isn't on this board anymore.

You're right it wasn't all about online, but big games like Halo were, and the original Xbox started the online focus with Xbox Live.

The amount of possibilities are also nearly endless with the current rules. Your life won't be long enough to play all the stuff that was released between 1970 (or earlier, since Pinball is allowed here) and 1999.

Also, you complain about "crt threads", but there's only one. And it's not like they'd stop if we allow 6th gen. In fact, the shitposting will increase, because kids who grew up with 6th gen will get even more triggered by people who own CRTs and will shitpost even louder than they do now. Same with bait filter/emulation threads. Those will not cease to exist simply because you add Halo or GTA 3 into the board.

If this happens to be a club with the most people NOT wanting 6th gen here, then shall it be. But as time goes by, it will become "retro" at some point and the anons that feel it as retro will want to discuss about it in this board, and then the consensus will be to include it.

The "winning" side would just make lots of threads false-flagging as anti-6th genners, and actual anti-6th genners will make false-flag threads like 10000 Halo threads and 8th gen remasters from 6th gen games.

I'm a hardcore fan with FF8, so many times I would even try to escape reality with lucid dreaming, I would be in Balamb Garden where I would often train with Zell in the training center and help Selphie with the Garden Festival, but one day as I was talking to Selphie, we went to my dormitory for a private talk. She immediately said, "You know you could live with us forever.." I gave her a confused look and she continued, "We understand that you live on earth and you REALLY wish to live here". I then said "How..How did you know?" She then giggled and said "Because we've been watching you, silly!" This was a dream come true and I almost cried right there. She then said, "I talked with Headmaster Cid and he agreed that you would be PERFECT for SeeD, you just have to do...one thing". She then held my hand and looked deep into my eyes and said "...You have to kill yourself for the transfer to work correctly." I then gave her some questions, "How long do I have before the deal expires?" She then said "Cid said 3 months.." I added by saying "What's the most painless way?..." She giggled again, "Suicide will require pain buuut...if you want it quick...Get a gun and a nice shot to the head works, but make sure you put the gun in your mouth for better accuracy, If you can't afford a gun, jump off a very VERY tall building, I wouldn't recommend pills because it's not a guaranteed method of dying, you could just get really really sick and be hospitalized." I then agreed and she gave me a kiss on the forehead, "I know this will be tough but once it's over and done, you'll get to live here!" I then woke up and this was last week and purchased a gun (I'll even post the gun with receipt, if you want) But Friday I might actually kill himself because that dream just felt too fucking real to be fake and my life isn't doing so grand.

Why would there be multiple retro boards tho?

This board is clinging to an outdated standard for the time that it was created.
6th gen is now retro, and this is /vr/, retro gaming. This is why the discussion exists and before you go into another loop about MUH 1999 read the first sentence of this paragraph again please.

>> No.3696261

>>3696242
>Besides being a jaded fuck?

Why did you need to add that? Being angry won't really solve your argument.

Anyway, my coherent reason is none other than seeing the current state of /vr/ vs 6th genners gives away that, whoever wins, this board will get destroyed. I'm not saying only you, 6th genners, will be guilty, the other side will also help destroy this board with falseflags and shitposts. Sadly this is a war that, no matter who wins, the board will get damaged.

I'm just trying to find the least harmful solution, and I think that's /v2k/.
In the meantime, I'm trying to advice people like you, who want 6th gen included, to stop making posts on here asking about it (because it's useless), and e-mail Hiroyuki instead, but it seems if I give this practical, objectively correct advice, it means I'm a "jaded fuck", so why do I even try?

Why not? If that makes the board better, then there is no excuse. VR is a really slow board, you won't miss your daily doom threads because of allowing PS2, that will never change, but what would change is giving room to other games that were released a bit later and that noone can discuss on v.

The ps2 era signals the end of gaming that focused on gameplay first and more focus placed on story and other gameplay-interrupting fluff. This era also began a trend of dumbing the difficulty of games to make them more approchable for weaksauce trophy babbys and casuals.

Honestly if this guy believes that rules can be changed by consensus, there's nothing we can ever post to sway his opinion.

Just report and ignore him and hope the janitor bans him quickly.

I sense what he's talking about but I'll suck at explaining it

The culture and style of video games on the ps2/gc/xbox are similar to what we have today. And they have a lot more in common with the consoles after them than consoles before them.

We should actually exclude the PS1 from /vr/ discussion as well. But not Saturn or N64.

What the fuck am I reading. You have a dream that 6th gen consoles can be talked about on an anonymous message board? You're on the side of history? Kill yourself.

Ok guys, thread's over.

All of those who want or not 6th gen included in /vr/ go there and make a formal request. All of those who don't give a fuck can keep doing whatever they were doing.

Anyone who tries to rationalize not letting certain retro console to be discussed on a retro gaming board is a jaded fuck. They are all jaded. They encountered a squeaker on halo 2 back in the day and haven't shut the fuck up about it since. That's why they don't want 6th gen here. They want to hide in their own little nostalgia circle and that's it.

It's already retro, but there'll never be enough momentum to force a change because the strongly anti-6th gen people don't actually care what's retro, they just don't like them
