You honestly don't think the people pushing for 6th gen on /vr/ weren't doing it to have somewhere to actually talk about videogames? This isn't a shitposting wave, this is the new userbase. This will not change. Board will be over 50% 6th gen and post 2000 videogames from here on out. Calling it right now. Just like I called that allowing the DC would make people push for the rest of 6th gen. Just like I called that leaving the Retro Game Gauntlet game lists as every game on each platform would eventually kill the threads.

As a 30 year old boomer that grew up on retro games, this board just turned to shit. I have zero experience with playing Zack & Dexter, Ratchet, or any of those because by that point I got bored with games. Now I will have to filter out 80% of threads to find that one 582057th thread about DKC3. Fuck. This was my favorite board on the internet along with /biz/

Normally I'd be nostalgia fagging over 4th ad 5th gen since those are what I grew up with, but I'm okay with 6th gen being added because it's honestly time and people were being autists about not allowing it because they convinced themselves that time didn't move on.

I still play retro arcade games and Devolver stuff but 3D games in the PS2/Xbox era just had too many loading screens, clunkiness, and GameCube games felt like N64 games with better graphics but all halfway finished. Wind Waker with the padded overworld and lack of dungeons, Sunshine with every level looking the same and tons of red coin missions, etc. I only had a PS2 to play rhythm games like Beatmania and Shaolin Monks.

In 20 years, PS5 will be retro. Just like now, 19 years later, the PS2 is retro. That's life.

Well, to be honest the outside world going to shit is probably the start of the problem.

Furthermore, normie communities were still not completely tainted by the internet.

That's not how periods/eras work, bro. 1st thru 5th gen will always be what people think of as Retro, regardless of /vr/'s new shitty rules.

Dude, the mid 2000's was the absolute golden age of porn. Also, RE4, MGS3 and some other huge hit games came from back then. It was honestly a better time.

You're telling me some kid born in 2040 won't think of the PS5 as retro? Well, if he understands what the word retro means, he won't, but you get my point.

Huh? How? I mean it was good, but I like modern porn too. Modern censorship aside, hentai seems to be getting even more fetishy, and live action porn still has good shit.

If we had the same "Internet culture" today as we did in 2008 everyone would be shitting on it for being s*y and cringe. It wasn't really that great

So what does it mean then? Because the literal definition is: imitative of style, fashion or design of the recent past.
So technically, your pretentious bullshit doesn't even count.

And besides that, back in 2003, we didn't think of PS1 or even SNES as retro. That would have been Atari and MAYBE NES by then. Later shit didn't become retro until later, when that term fit better. If you think otherwise, you're an idiot.

You're just assmad that hiroshimoot fucked you in the ass with this rule change.

SNES/Genesis actually was retro in 2003. Sonic Mega Collection was released in 2001 and was thought of as a retro game compilation at the time. However, PS1/N64 wasn't retro yet.

I didn't know a single person who thought of 16 bit as retro back then, but OK. The term in hears tossed around then was "classics" to be honest.

16-bit was already called retro by 2002 because it was the last pre-Internet, pre-3D generation.

the board will come back to normal when "not retro" fags stop whining and shitposting. half the threads for the past few hours have been obvious bait posts made by seething oldfags. by the end of the month we'll all coexist
