>emulation

If you aren't playing on a 300 year old crt held together by duct tape and a yellowed console encrusted with some kids several decade old boogers, sorry but you're doing it wrong and missing out on the soul of retro gaming.

[Anonymous No.6544921]

A lot of those consoles in the picture aren't retro. Gamecube, Xbox, PS2, and GBA are not considered retro here and never will be. As far as the other consoles go, simply search on google.com "best games for" and then put the console name to get some suggestions. Have fun! And remember, 6th gen will never, ever be retro no matter how hard you cry and seethe.

Honest opinion. people will shit on me for this but start with youtube top ten lists. check out screw attack, mike matei, fucking watchmojo i dunno, all those fags. That is the starting point. If you still want more then come back here. /vr/ is kind of a place for people who have been around the block and your only going to get obscure hidden gems that you arent ready for yet, If you're new anyway. play all the normie shit first, then come back.

yea good luck with that
just like 5th gen and dreamcast will never be retro, right?

[Anonymous No.6545110]

i dunno . im a zoomer who grew up in 7th gen and I still think 6th should never be on /vr/. 5th should barely be. that stuff is just not retro

[Anonymous No.6545136]

i'm a boomer who grew up with the 3th gen and i say gamecube/ps2/xbox/gba should be retro because it's ridiculous to have only dreamcast

Be careful what you wish for

[Anonymous No.6545168]

>>6545140
I was in high school when the 360 came out. Ergo Gears of War threads should be allowed because it's probably the most retro game series to ever exist.

4chan drafted the rules for this board in 2014 when it made more sense not to include 6th gen
And as we all know reliving 2014 over and over again without ever progressing like we're all trapped in hell is a critically important part of the site's culture, so we can never ever change it

You should check out Racketboy. I've been reading their stuff for over a decade, and a lot of hacks on youtube rip a lot of content off from them anyway. I also check out Hardcore Gaming 101, and retromags.

>GTA
2 main titles and 2 expansion packs of GTA were out before 2000
>Halo
confirmed to run on pre-2000 hardware
>DOOM
seriously? shit's from 1993
>kingdom hearts
is it even that popular anymore?

>GTA
GTA didn't blow up until 3, Vice City and San Andreas and you know that.
>Halo
You can get DOOM 3 to run on pre-2000 hardware as well.

DOOM 3 CONFIRMED RETRO.
>DOOM
Nigga u dumb. That was obviously referencing the fact that DOOM threads are highly prevalent around here.
>Kingdom Hearts
"Kingdom Hearts III was released worldwide in January 2019, and was met with generally positive reviews from critics. It sold over five million copies within its first week of release, becoming both the fastest-selling and best-selling game in the series' history."

sure, but they're all pretty old now, it's not like allowing 6th gen will allow GTA V
>Nigga u dumb. That was obviously referencing the fact that DOOM threads are highly prevalent around here.
he's claiming that's a problem, then?
>DOOM 3 CONFIRMED RETRO.
yes? what, are you claiming it doesn't look good enough to count or something?
>"Kingdom Hearts III was released worldwide in January 2019
i didn't even know they finally made a third title
still, it still wouldn't be allowed if 6th gen was allowed

Why are people wasting their time debating what is and isn't "retro" as if it's not completely subjective
Here's the closest thing there is to an objectively true answer:
The rule was made in 2014 and placed the cutoff at 1999, hence accounting for the passage of time the retro cutoff is now 2005, unless you don't know how counting works

This is why nobody takes /vr/ seriously it's all pedantic bickering based on something a moderator wrote down on a napkin over half a decade ago
Talk to any zoomer and you'll quickly learn PS2 is definitely retro

[Anonymous No.6545317]

im a zoomer. ps2 isnt retro
it really would decrease the quality of this board. /v/ has healthy 6th gen discussions all the time. its just needless to spam the board with this argument

Why would any of us ever want to go to /v/, one of the worst boards on the whole site
Have you ever considered not being a draconian hall monitor about what video games people choose to discuss
This is why the userbase of /vr/ is stagnant, people want to come here to talk about old video games not to argue over meaningless distinctions that only exist here and nowhere else
You are all putting more thought into this than the one person who decided it should be a rule and then never re-evaluated it
What's old is a moving window and will always be a moving window

[Anonymous No.6545345]

>>6545340
i dont understand what kind of distinction you think there is between /vr/ and /v/ but adding 6th gen would 100% remove that you realize

The truth about 4chan is nobody has put any actual thought into the rules and moderation since moot left
If moot had stayed admin the rule would've been updated by now because he clearly didn't intend for it to come to this extreme but the people who run the site don't care

Then you're unironically too young for this board. 7th gen is the hard cutoff for actual retro
