/vr/ - Retro Games

[Anonymous No.6822309]

What kind of gamer are you, /vr/?

[Anonymous No.6822313]

Somewhere between 6th and 7th gen. Why isn't 7th gen allowed on /vr/? It makes no sense that some 2007 PC games are but 2005 Xbox 360 games aren't.

Nice job using a 1989 movie for mid 00's games. Not retro.

[Anonymous No.6822331]

>>6822318
I think it's still too early for 7th gen to be allowed here. But to make the rules more consistent, PC cutoff could be brought down to 2006. At least then there won't be "why can I discuss Portal on PC but not Portal on PS3?"

[Anonymous No.6822335]

No fuck off I like being able to talk about Bioshock and Portal here

It's a kinda old meme already, probably from /v/. The original said "hardcore gamer", "old school gamer", and "Ancient gamer", or something like that.
/vr/ is /v/ now so expect a lot of /v/ rehashes from now on.

[Anonymous No.6822339]

Ok then ask mods to allow early 7th gen.

It's based on an ironic meme where CoD kids are labelled as "old school gamer" and Halo kids are "ancient"

Did I say 2005 wasn't long time ago, dipshit? It was. But it was the starting point of 7th gen while the rules are set/updated based on the end date.

[Anonymous No.6822378]

>>6822358
Just make it year based. At the very least we should be able to talk about every single game released in 2007 or earlier.

I just don't see a point in negating the rest of the 7th gen.
Just allow 7th gen as a whole, but not 8th gen.

It really should be based entirely on date. Not only that, but the date should be updated every year. Like, in August 2021, they should allow 2008 games. Then the year after, they should allow 2009, etc..

[Anonymous No.6822438]

>>6822416
Agreed.
>>6822384
I wouldn't personally have a problem with 7th gen as a whole but some people would probably be against it

I'm like this

[Anonymous No.6822493]

>>6822438
Okay, think about this: Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain came out only 5 years ago and had PS3/X360 releases. What is the point of a retro board if people are allowed to post "STANDING" threads? And there are many other games like that.
Honestly, the only ways to determine the cutoff is either by the END mark of a gen or purely by year. And like I said, I much prefer the latter.

PS4 should be allowed when the PS5 drops... reserve /v/ for current events, new games

Let's do the moving cutoff thing then. 2007 is old enough

[Anonymous No.6822530]

/v/ - Video Games (all games)
/cv/ - Current Games (only current gen)
/vr/ - Retro Games (games older than 15 year - cutoff updates every year)

>people are already wanting gen 7 here after gen 6 pretty much raped the board

[Anonymous No.6822551]

>>6822539
Because when they think about 7th gen, they think about actual retro days with Resistance: Fall of Man , Halo 3, etc. They don't realize the generation went on until TWO THOUSAND FUCKING FIFTEEN. Again, no Phantom Pain threads on my /vr/. That shit isn't retro for literally anyone.

[Anonymous No.6822553]

>>6822539
It makes no sense to allow 6th gen and part of 7th gen (on PC) but not Xbox or PS3.
Fucking Nintendo DS man, if that's not retro I don't know what is.

I would be fine with >>6822416 desu, don't really care about the second half. But Halo 3, Resistance, Kameo and even Blue Dragon are old enough to be discussed here

[Anonymous No.6822583]

The thing that bothers me the most about the rules is the inconsistency. When I say "pull back PC date to 2006", it's not because I'm a boomer who doesn't think 2007 wasn't retro. It's just my solution to the double standard currently applied to PC gamers. Why the fuck can they talk about Crysis when I can't talk about Heavenly Sword?

Either allow pre-2008 7th gen games, or pull back PC date by a year.

[Anonymous No.6822589]

>>6822553
I guarantee you the mods forgot about PC existing while making the rule so now shitposters are running amok because of their mistake

Oh shit! Now that I think about it, the sticky didn't even mention PC. The 2007 cutoff was mentioned for 6th gen games. They never made an official statement on PC that explicitly declared games like Crysis or Team Fortress 2 to be retro but they still have to keep those threads up because they fucked up.

We can't really talk about early 7th gen shit anywhere else, just do this. And it's not just PS360, how about PSP stuff like Logan Shadow?

[Anonymous No.6822673]

>>6822607
The sticky never mentioned PC, other than the first phrase. PC games were already judged by the cutoff date. They could have narrowed things down by banning stuff that's only on PC and consoles of gen 6+, but in the end they probably just wanted to keep things simple and hope Crysis threads don't pop up so often.

It really did. I saw like 3 threads from original times. The rest are 6th gen glory

[Anonymous No.6823072]

>>6823020
The cutoff should've been any game that's at least 20 years old is retro. The platform loophole is gay.

[Anonymous No.6823232]

>>6822551
Doesn't matter how long the generation lasted. What matters is core period. So years like 2005 and 06 are still okay. Same goes for 4th gen. Sure, SNK was still releasing games for Neo Geo well into the 2000s, but it was done by the mid-late '90s. By about '97 or '98 everyone else stopped making games for 4th gen consoles. The last game for Genesis, Frogger was in '97. And the last game for SNES was a Japanese exclusive released on 2000. By that period they barely had a game or two each year.

You could discuss 2000 PC game on old /vr/. Old /vr/ was platform-based rather than the current, nonsensical game-based, so you could discuss Deus Ex or even PC Halo because they both natively played on a pre-2000s platform: Windows 98.

people tolerated deux ex and some other 2000 pc games, but greatly contested anything much after 1999, like halo 1 was a windows 98 game and was even capable of being played on 1999 hardware, but very few people accepted it being brought up
