6th gen is considered retro now, deal with it.
What I don't understand is why most of 7th gen isn't. And why the later 6th gen isn't either.
You can discuss certain 7th gen games on PC, but you can't discuss certain later PS2 (6th gen) games, it's weird.
Mods weren't really thinking too much when changing the rules, seems like they did it on a whim without thinking straight much.

The board is now like three times faster than it was before the rule change. It's now impossible to discuss pre-NES games in a thread that you know will still be around at the end of your workday without repeated bumping, just like we warned would happen. There is now nowhere on the internet to talk about older games with the perfect pace of old /vr/ where an umbumped thread would take a full day to die off, just like we predicted.

>>6882769
Yes, there was. Now it's impossible. You can't go research something obscure and get back to a thread the next day, because it'll be dead and pruned. Making a new thread would do no good, because most of the people from the old thread will have seen that the other one died and will have given up on the subject, or they WILL come back looking for a new thread, but it won't happen to be in the 10-hour window when it was still alive, so they'll miss it and then give up.

>> No.6882879

I'm in a local retro forum from my country, and on the off-topic section of the forum there's a 4chan thread where we shitpost and what not, there were a couple of older users that also browsed /vr/ (and /o/ and /k/ I think). All of them said they left /vr/ when the rule changed. I tried to tell them that it got better now, but it seem they moved on already. I'm honestly not sure if it really got better. The first few weeks of the rule change were heavy, we have less traffic now for sure, but still not sure if the quality went up.

Basically cripplechan. It was /v/ without cancer for the first 2 or so years. It didn't last as the admins were really incompetent and the board stagnated to a point where everyone left except the cancer that ran it into the ground. It's unironically worse than /v/ now. I occasionally see people from the old days here, like one of the guys who was making a Banjo Kazooie clone. At least the spinoff boards show promise.

The local forum I'm in isn't a chan, it's an old stule bulletin board forum. It's centered on retro vidya, but there's an offtopic section and there's a 4chan thread there, sometimes we talked about /vr/ there. I still talk to these guys in the bulletin board, but they stopped coming to /vr/

The draw of 4chan is that you don't have to make an account. You can vanish for a month or two when life shit happens, and nobody will really notice too much or care or worry about you. You don't have to build and maintain a reputation; you just come and talk. The pace of /vr/ before the change was perfect for the subject matter. There was nowhere else like it, and now there's nowhere like it at all.

I'm not going to say "zoomers ree" or whatever but this is unironically why /v2k/ was a better idea. The PS2's arrival caused a humongous paradigm shift, videogames were no longer nerdy hobbies for a few made by small teams, it was now AAA games with inflated budgets and even more inflated marketing budgets. It's its own beast entirely compared to everything that game before.

Yeah, if you check previous gens, all the best selling games were more "videogame-y" (I hate this term, but it applies), starting with 6th gen is when you have all the top charts dominated by stuff like GTA, Call of Duty, etc.
Also if you compare lists of best selling games of all the pre-6th gens, you see more diversity. 6th gen is mostly the same few franchises and kind of games. It all became a lot more homogenized, which in trun makes sense because it was during 6th gen that using the same 2 or 3 engines to make all the games started, at least in terms of western games, Japanese were more prone to making custom engines for each game, but that also stopped around late 6th gen.

Yeah because the hundreds of SOTN vs Dracula X threads were some really quality posting. Admit it, the rule was a good change because the board was quickly running out of things to talk about.

All the threads are ironic now, all of it is disingenuous and in bad faith. It's just /v/ without current gen. It used to be a comfy slower board about 20th century games. You could leave a thread one night, go to sleep, and then the thread would still be there the next day even if it didn't get any replies.

Same. I left /v/ years ago because there was no hope for any discussion. Then the place I went to went to shit so I came back here, because most of the games I played were retro anyways. I did get kinda spooked when the sixth gen was first allowed, because it seemed like /v/ermin tourists were going to shit up the board, but it's gotten better. Maybe it'll keep improving and one day we'll be able to talk about 4th, 5th and 6th gen games without massive amounts of faggotry.

>>6883473
It's a shame honestly. I don't see it going away because a lot of franchises were radically changed/killed in the 6th gen, so every thread will be full of people in the 6th gen who only played that gen of games shitting on prior gens they never bothered to play.

The mods don't care. They know that /vr/ is one of the few robot tier boards left so they wanted to troll it.

Also places like /v/ are ad revenue bait, making more boards might have increased hiro's profits, but I'm no (((business))) major.

Old games have no profit so naturally they'd try to shove them here just like /r9k/ used to be one of the trash boards, but they were nicer and more intelligent about this decision.

When you stop and not chimp out it makes sense.

If I owned it all I'd have only added the top ten gamecube games and all gba games, but whatever. I'm not king of the net. Kinda why dreamcast was allowed is because it's so 'dead' tier. Only gamecube games allowed wouldn't be able to asspain gen /x/ unless they're retarded. They're only going to talk about the top ten anyway, just like with n64 or snes. That's how nintendo always was, they have these random gems that everyone likes but most games are just as shitty as any other console. Ergo the gamecube games wouldn't have had a reason to change the catalog, not as much as the gba anyway. With how retro tier it is and easily emulated more people would talk about that.

Retro gaming is much more than just how old something is. You think because 6th gen is 20 years old that it is retro? I roll my eyes so hard at that notion that they're doing revolutions in my skull. No...retro gaming is a style of gaming that just so happens to be most prominent in games released ~<= 1999 (but very likely well before 1999). You motherfuckers simply need to look at the difference between RE1/2/3 and then RE4 to see the difference between retro and non-retro. Look at Final Fantasy 1-9 and then look at 10/10-2/12. The evolution of gaming is what makes 6th gen not retro. Hell, look at Daggerfall and Arena and then try to tell me that Morrowind and Oblivion are retro...you can't. Continuing with this line of reasoning, the difference between SMB1/2/3/W and M64/SS, we CLEARLY see the great divide between retro and not retro. M64 maybe qualifies because it was the first attempt at 3D, while still being retro at heart, but I remain unconvinced. Sunshine is definitely a refined M64, and very blatantly not retro

Reddit is not better than 4chan. As bad as you think it is here I assure you it's 10x worse than /v/ and 100x worse than here. I genuinely don't know where to go. /v/ became a cesspit, the place I went to after that went to shit to bad management, I came here because at least it didn't have faggots from /v/ shitting up every threads but now that's gone. Just the fact that these idiots are complaining about games being too old on a fucking retro board shows how completely pants on head retarded they are or they're just pretending to be retarded for cheap entertainment value which is even worse (and what ruined my previous board).

that rinoa thread was made several times before the 6th gen change, I recall one thread reaching 200+ posts, but back then, people talked about the video game instead of just low effort shit posting

Why would it harm the board? Just moderate for a week or so and slam down on the shitposters.

No, just any of the posts against the rule change. If you read the thread, he gets outnumbered and then starts spamming like he usually does.

Most of the worst shitposting was by old posters butthurt over the rule change and trying to burn the board down because of it.

I sure do love a bunch of ironic shitposters trying to push that tired, artifical boomer zoomer meme while fucking up one of the better boards left on 4chan.

If you think the only reason people like posting anonymously is pedophilia, you don't belong on 4chan.
