Shmups haven’t evolved since the mid 90s and 6th gen was arguably a golden age for racing games. Anymore retarded questions to shit up the board?

Funny thing is, now 6th gen toddlers will have to continuously defend the change from trolls and be the ones dealing with shitposts while everyone else will just shrug and say "That's why 6th gen was a mistake".
There's also going to be a lot of ressentiment against 6th gen posters because they basically ruined the fun for everyone else.
It was a forced change, not an accepted change
So, enjoy.

>This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".

[Anonymous No.6786725]

> the amount of pre 1999 threads can almost be counted on one hand

The fact that most of the board is now filled with post year 2000 games is proof enough that a /v2k/ board would have been a better idea.

[Anonymous No.6786784]

>>6786725
I agree that /v2k/ would've been better but that's a stupid argument, 6th gen was only allowed very recently so of course there'll be a flood of 6th gen threads right afterwards.

Remember how generals for more obscure games died on /vg/ when the pace increased because of gacha shit?
That's the main issue here. Widening the topic of /vr/ will increase the pace meaning less popular topics will fall of the board faster.

the 2007 cutoff allows people to post 7th gen games as long as they were released on PC. Mods have down syndrome.

[Anonymous No.6787065]

Lets pretend that 6th gen is retro. Based on threads I currently see:
>Crysis
2007 PC shooter that is blatantly 7th gen
>Oblivion
7th gen game released on 360 in 2006, but because it got a PC release it is allowed
>Assassins Creed
7th gen game with a PC release
>TF2
Released in 2007 but does not look like a 6th geb shooter at all.
Completely fucking ruined the board.

This is absolute retardation. Retro discussion older than 6th gen isn't going to die just because 6th gen is allowed. Give it a week or so of shitposting about "look at this generation that is now considered retro!" and things will go back to normal with occasional 6th gen games.

Things won’t go to normal. If it doesn’t in a month, I’ll be sure to respond to your faggot ass post. You don’t understand how many people hate this board so they can shit it up.

[Anonymous No.6787708]

>>6787662
The only way things could fail to go back to normal is if seething faggots like you keep making "let's talk about this RETRO game from 2007 on PC!" threads. 6th gen is retro. Most games from before the cutoff see little to no discussion on /v/ anymore, they NEEDED a place to be discussed that had a specific "game age cutoff".

[Anonymous No.6787729]

Most people just don't understand what retro gaming philosophy is. There are lots of 6th gen games that are retro, but it takes a certain type of gamer to tell the difference. Company culture and demographics changed a lot during 6th gen. This will cause the lowest common denominator anons that some of the worst 6th gen games pander to to voice their braindead opinions.

So they could've made a new board.
You need to understand how image boards like 4chan work. The topics being discussed and how they're discussed is highly dependent on how fast a board is. Generally, the faster the board is, the harder it is to talk about niche topics and the lower the quality of discussion is. The current spam will die down, no doubt, but it won't go back to old /vr/ levels meaning it will be far harder to discuss some obscure games you like, or some platform no one gives a shit about anymore.
But hey, at least you ruined a board so you can discuss some normalfag games from 15 years ago.

I'd have accepted /v2k/ too, or even preferred it honestly. But the fact is that this is better than letting things continue as they were. /v/ is a cesspool and the mods rightly understand that they need to give things that used to only exist there their own space.

Us Shmup Lads are a resilliant group man. We’ve always been niche so the trends of the outside world don’t affect us.
