I don't care who you are. You're not retro.

[Anonymous No.5019252]

Reminder: if it can run in Win98 on a Pentium II, then it's retro.

Having a software cut-off for PC games while consoles get to have a hardware cut-off isn't fair.

[Anonymous No.5019313]

>>5019252
Reminder: if you are a retard, stay out of /vr/

Having idiots pushing non-retro games on /vr/, while they have /v/ for their stupidity isn't fair.

Seriously, nigger. It's your 2nd thread that brings nothing. No discussion, no content. Get the message finally and get lost. If you want to make a push for Gothic's acceptance (good luck with that) on /vr/, put a fucking effort into it, rather than being random shitposting

[Anonymous No.5019351]

>>5019313
Except Gothic is retro, along with any other PC game that can run on '90s hardware. Fucking dickhead.

[Anonymous No.5019360]

>>5019351
On top of that the game was already being previewed in 1999 with the engine and places existing in the finished product already being very close to complete.

It's shame we lost dedicated mod some time ago and now have to endure shitposters like you.
Game wasn't released until mid-2001, get fucked. You don't even qualify for standard "released early 2000"

[Anonymous No.5019372]

>>5019351
Oh, so rather than talking about game, more bullshit.
Here, take my non-reply. Enjoy hitting archive, since you can't even discuss your game of choice, you absolute moron.

[Anonymous No.5019385]

>>5019351
According to your stunning logic any shitty indie or free game that's released today with very low requirements also gets classified as retro. "waa waa, it's so unfair consoles get this while with PCs it's different". Why not just follow the rules and if it's not stated explicitly the conventions of the site that you're on and stop starting shit

[Anonymous No.5019409]

why are icewind dale threads allowed, then?

[Anonymous No.5019468]

>>5019409
Mods usually allow 2000-2002 PC game threads since they are retro enough.

[Anonymous No.5019469]

>>5019409
Because it was agreed upon, thanks to anon providing serious reasoning, on-going debates and so on and forth.
In short - the point was explained in clear, convincing fashion, besides ID has the advantage of being from '00.

Meanwhile all you are doing is crying that Gothic is retro, period. And your reasoning for it is shit, because it boils down to "b-but other games are allowed" and "b-but it runs on Wndows 98".
Any fucking modern game that doesn't outright demand 64bit OS is going to run on Windows 98. Doesn't make them retro.

[Anonymous No.5019482]

>>5019351
Guess Penumbra, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, CoH series, Tomb Raider Legend, GTA between 3 and San Andreas, Civilization 3 and 4, Sims 3, Sim City 4, all the first-gen Paradox games, and early entires to Halo, CoD and Battlefield, along with hundreds of others suddenly became retro, because hey, they run on Win 98!

[Anonymous No.5019527]

The console loophole should be done away with too. As far as I'm concerned if the game was made after the year 1999 it isn't retro, homebrewshit be damned.

[Anonymous No.5019548]

>>5019482
>S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Wrong. That needs at least Win2000 and a Pen4 in order to run, neither of which is from the '90s.

[Anonymous No.5019551]

Remember the story about the kid that played gothic for the first time and was so fascinated by the raw food he ran to the shop and bought hams, cheese, bread and other stuff making his own meal?
When his mother found out she give him money back for the groceries.

Also old camp = comfy, fuck swamp.

Console loophole exists solely due to how short-lived Dreamcast was. If that system survived just few months longer, it would be banned.

>/vr/ gets butthurt because some anon points out how retarded the hardware loophole in the rules is
Top kek.

[Anonymous No.5021056]

The sticky very clearly states "computer games [...] on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier."

A 1999 PC using only 1999 hardware falls under this definition. If it runs Gothic, it is allowed for discussion. After all, FIFA 2005 for PS1 is also allowed.

Why you guys gotta be so anal on the LITERAL interpretation of the rules whenever someone mentions the GBA, yet in this case you elect to ignore the board rules?

Notice how it only says "consoles", unlike "computer games" and "arcade games". This means consoles get their own loophole where you can discuss a fucking 2018 game just because the hardware is old. Meanwhile if an arcade or PC game is released in the current millennium it can't be discussed here, even if it's a DOS game running on a 386. Retarded-ass rules we have here.

Rules should apply to release date of software only and the cutoff should be (current year - 20). That way we can stop bitching about meta shit like "WHEN WILL X FINALLY BE RETRO?"

[Anonymous No.5021904]

>>5021838
Gothic never will be retro.

[Anonymous No.5021934]

Everywhere except /vr/ already considers sixth gen retro.

Sorry gramps, times change.

[Anonymous No.5021950]

>>5021934
Guess we should start eating shit - billions of flies can't be wrong.
And that game isn't retro, period. For existing definition of retro it doesn't fit. Wrong year, wrong generation, wrong structure.

[Anonymous No.5021952]

>>5021934
>>5021950
If you absolutely have to push it (while being literally your own worst enemy due to extremely obtuse behaviour), get the definition changed. Still the old one? Not retro then.
No amount of mental gymnastcs is going to help your cause, especially if you keep sperging retarded bullshit and threads themselves are on your own desperate bump life support.

[Anonymous No.5021971]

Since Gothic (a 2001 game) is allowed now, can we also have a thread for pic related?
