pure coincidence
And I didn't even include other borderline threads, or general topics that have mostly RPG discussion.
now imagine for a second if the situation was reversed: no RPG threads, every time you tried to post threads they'd die quickly, and if you dared to say this was a biased shmup-centric board you'd get banned.

Hell someone complained when there was more than one shmup thread at one point lmfao

Mushihimesama at GDQ will save shmups and arcade games in general showing zoomers the light and getting them to supplanting the current RPG loving /vr/ zoomer population

shmup threads aren't retro, go to /vg/
like what is there even to fucking talk about anyway? oh wow, i got 5 more points on my latest run of BongBong pissdisaster EX ~the magical of feering~, better tell /vr/ about it!

>> No.6009273

>>6009267
There's no shmup thread on /vg/ either, the issue is simply that there's a lack of people into these games. Even a lot of the community just pretends to like shmups while they play RPGs instead.
You know what's not retro though, RPGs. They had no relevance in most of the west until the late 90's. While shmups are THE retro genre (Space Invaders, Galaga). RPGs are a zoomer historical revisionism meme, they aren't into actually old school games.

>> No.6009275

>>6009273
yep, zoomers are attracted to RPGs because it's the closest to modern games they're used to, but these are LE RETRO muh pixels!
and before some sperg comes, video game RPGs, tablestop stuff did have relevance.

don't they have a toohoo thread lol
shmups are still produced in largely the same way they always have been, whereas retro rpgs, both w and j, are pretty significantly different to modern ones
there's also the fact that they lend themselves to discussion, there's just more to talk about with an 100+ hour game than with a shmup, which you're usually done with in 20 mins
but again, the biggest problem is that shmups just aren't retro, there's no difference between a 2019 shmup and a 1989 shmup except that the 1989 one would probably have a spaceship instead of a mostly nude anime child

>> No.6009286

It's almost as if it's not a coincidence that zoomers latch on to the latest fad legal on /vr/

>toohoo thread
not about shmups, just secondaries. That's why it has life, and why it was separated from the shmup thread.
>a shmup, which you're usually done with in 20 mins
BASED /jarpig/

dude even the most clueless retards know the difference between a 89 game like Fire Shark and some modern danmaku gameplay-wise. But ty for bumping with baits.

>> No.6009296

No one likes shmups. You had about 4 years to deal with it, time to move on.

>> No.6009298

>>6009284
those aren't this board's rules
but if anything that makes them more retro, new games stay true to the classics

Don't come to 4chan if you can't handle people talking about shit you don't like. No one is here to appease you and no one cares at all if you don't like threads about jrpgs. If you want a thread about something then start one. If it 404s because no one cared then cry to your mommy. We're not here to coddle you.

You're right, almost noone does, this is just poking fun at /vr/, jarpgis typically get defensive when this is brought up.

>> No.6009314

>>6009303
This is just to expose that the board is full of jarpigs that dislike shmups.

So stating the most obvious thing in the whole universe. Okay then. I give very few shits about either rpgs or shmups but it's kinda funny how much of a baby you're being about it.
