Let's discuss the games, hardware, and anything else pertaining to this generation of videogames, which everyone considers retro by now.

>What 6th gen game(s) are you playing?
>Favorite system and game overall?
>Fondest memories of this gen?

Games developed for WinXP are welcome here as well.

Gamecube sucked a damn shame I sold my N64 as a kid back then.

>the Sega Dreamcast will now be considered "retro", though the remainder of the sixth generation (Xbox, PS2, GameCube) will not.

>But it's 2020, surely these consoles can be considered retro now right?
"No!"

Retro defines a specific age of games, noted for their consoles, hardware, and game design philosophies. Just like how comics have a Golden Age, Bronze Age, and Silver Age, retro in the context of video games, especially on this board, refers to a specific era. This era is unchanging and does not shift to expand all sorts of new games. The PS3 will never be considered retro.

Everyone please remember to report the OP and save /vr/, as allowing Gamecube and PS2 would be the death of this place and completely crowd out everything before it.

anything before day 1 DLC and games that you cannot even play before downloading several GB updates is "retro" to me, i.e., gen 6 and prior. These consoles are already ~20 years old

MODS. We need a /y2kvr/ please. /v/ is fucking worthless and I want to actually discuss gen 6 and all it's games somewhere.

>> No.6110934

I think 1 legally allowed general for gen 6 would be fine. Any other gen 6 threads should be deleted though, so that /vr/ doesn't get polluted by it.

Is there a way to actually suggest a new board? /v2k/ would be a really good addition. /v/ is a fucking shit hole.
