The board is basically massively resisting the idea that the 6th gen is retro and a fuckload of shitposts are coming from people accusing others of being children, kids, underaged, etc. constantly.

Genesis and SNES faggots have taken over the board almost completely and daily console wars with the most generic bait and shitflinging imaginable are occurring and people keep posting in them.

Lots of misinformation, dumbass collectors, and resellers are posting and making threads and lots of morons with no idea what they are talking about post constantly now and have ideas and beliefs that no one else has but they keep flooding them around in every thread.

Lots of discussion about the 6th gen continually gets curbed even when it brings fresh topics to the board in favor of the 100th recommendation thread for the Sega Genesis and the 100th console war thread about blast processing and Gensis vs SNES music.

People are hateful and awful towards one another on here on top of all the shitty topics and repeated conversations that keep happening because the board is literally out of things to discuss, and the board only seems to focus on the tiny era of Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis with a smattering of random short lived discussion about a few other systems and games.

This.

Console wars are for retarded children without a disposable income and ignorant fanboys. There are great games on every platform but we constantly have threads here like:

>N64 HAS NO GAMES LEL
>GENESIS ONLY HAS ARCADE GAMES LEL AND HOW ABOUT THAT SHITTY ASS GENESIS MUSIC REKT
>TOP KEK, THE SNES HAS SLOWDOWN FUCK ME IN THE ASS I CAN'T TOLERATE GAMES WITH SLOWDOWN

We get the occasional quality threads but more or less it can be boiled down to this. The funny thing is is that the main argument for disallowing 6th gen is that it'll make the board filled with fags from /v/, but we have already seen that happen over the course of the past two years anyway. It's just gotten worse and worse.

I lurk here these days and don't post often, and when I do its usually in a Saturn or NES thread. Fuck this board.

I kinda agree with OP and you do bring out some fair points, but please. 6th gen doesn't belong here. People never really cared about the cutoff and things were comfy as fuck here until "b-but /v/ told me to post here" people started coming, paired with a ship of trolls, and /vr/ isn't really the brightest board when it comes to trolls.

While I agree a board for things less than new could bring fresh discussion, /v/'s shitposting will also inevitably reach that place in a neverending cycle. Things must suck sooner or later, deal with it. If 6th gen were allowed here, I couldn't post about some DOS game from my childhood without the thread being sent to page 10 like crazy because people would only ever talk about 6th gen stuff (the same way you lament people posting SNES and Genesis threads, most of them being falseflags), which is plentiful. While by limiting ourselves to a certain age, we can focus discussion and give everyone a chance.

The source of the 4th and 5th gen posting is purely the anti-Nintendo mentality though.

It's incessant. Calling it out and putting the shitposting in its place is step 1 to better 4th and 5th gen discussion.

You can't be this stupid. Every console that's allowed on /vr/ is easily emulated now, so that's a piss poor excuse. The real reason is because of all the oldfags on /vr/ that want to relive the dead console wars, arguing what they believe to be the superior console. It's a mindset that's akin to Ford vs Chevy, or Packers vs Patriots. You can't stop people from picking a side and being competitive about it, no matter how stupid or irrelevant it may be. If you want a place where everyone agrees about the same thing, you might want to try Reddit, sounds like something more up your alley.

This board has gotten more hostile, you cannot change that since it has set in. Part of it is /v/ mentality with "This game is the greatest and everything else is shit" so that just generates shit flinging and then other people who want to change the rule sets and are ousted with hostility.

You really cannot expect civil discussions on an anonymous site on a hobby such as video games, that is silly without getting stomped by moderators and by then what is the point of the forum if you cannot voice your opinions that go against the grain?

It'll be the same shit that's already happening. A few games will be discussed to death and the torpor will continue.

The problem isn't the number of consoles, or the cutoff dates, but that most of the userbase on this site thinks the site should cater to them. It's not like there isn't billions of topics to be had going all the way back to the Atari 2600 and prior all the way up to the Dreamcast. Not millions of games, stories, ads, tech, and such. Oh no. No. The reason why /vr/ isn't "good" for them is because it just doesn't have enough consoles to discuss. So adding three more will solve everything.

We've already discussed everything interesting about the 2600 to Dreamcast, besides there's 25 years worth of games from Pong to the PS2's introduction in 2000 so adding the 6th gen only gives an additional six years of games. I hardly see how that's upsetting the balance of anything.

I seriously doubt everything has been discussed here. On a board that has not been around for long, and moves as slowly as it has.

Adding "six years" of games to that, if that's your point, would be fully discussed and done with in a far shorter time thus not fixing the problem.

And even within those 15 years, only a small handful of games are usually discussed. Only a smattering of topics on other stuff happens here. That's the issue, not the cutoff date. People could easily make discussions about stuff, but tend to prefer that someone else does it for them.

Does it mean when the Nintendo NX (9th Generation) is launched, the rest of the 6th generation becomes retro?

Why is there a 1 year difference between the Dreamcast and PS2 based upon the 8th generation, which launched in late 2012 early 2013?

Actually with a bit of reading comprehension, you'll see that it clearly states what is considered "Retro" for this board, and what isn't. It's a moot point, anyway. This is like the people who've been screaming and crying about seeing anime outside of /a/ on this site for well over a decade. The mods haven't stopped it, and I don't see them changing this board anytime soon.

So please stop. Please. Go somewhere else. Anywhere else. Or stay and discuss what is allowed. The board does not have to change because you want it to. That is selfish on your part, and not fair to the rest of us.

Sorry, that does not compute. The rules clearly add in something extra with a comma,
" launched in 1999 and earlier. With the release of the 8th generation of consoles, the Sega Dreamcast will now be considered "retro",

First of all, that was unecessary to state, as the Dreamcast would have been considered "retro" with the previous 1999 rule. So they had to clarify that BECAUSE of a new generation of consoles, a 6th gen console is now retro.

So what the fuck is it?

6th gen kids constantly acting like the Dreamcast kids acted, in hope they will get the same result.

Some Australian shitposter who got butthurt and now shitposts endlessly in every single thread that even remotely relates to NTSC/PAL or regions.

Console war retards. They were promptly kicked to the curb in the early days of /vr/, but with the influx of newfags who want to treat /vr/ like /v/, now any console war thread will get over 200 posts.

Collectors and emulators constantly arguing over pointless shit that no one else cares about. Collectors who feel the need to shit on emulators and call them poorfags so they can dickwave about their collection, and emulators who feel the need to shit on collectors and call them hoarders.

Some falseflagging faggots who pretend to be a part of any camp and act as annoying as possible.

JD can't stop shitposting in the GCCX threads, even though he keeps threatening to leave.(PROTIP:He'll never leave)

Assclowns who make shitpost bait threads because "It fosters conversation!"

Morons who make crap "This question could be answered by google, but I'll make a thread anyways, LOL!" threads because "It generates conversation!"

STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE threads.

Personal blog BUT I MENTIONED A VIDEOGAME SO IT'S /VR/! threads.

The "Overrated Retro Games" thread spam.

The one good mod/janitor we had quit after the Dreamcast BS, and the entire rest of the mod team visits this board maybe twice a week if that, letting shitposting run rampant, encouraging more shitposting.

And all the shitposting and crap threads made most of our good posters leave, leaving us with shitposters and /v/ posters.

Dreamcast was considered a bit of an in-between console for a while.

People didn't consider it 6th gen because it came out much earlier than the competition, but not quite 5th gen because of how late it was and the fact Saturn exists.

People settled on "5th and a half gen" for DC, but seems to have devolved into pure 6th gen for some reason.

I don't really understand, but the generation convention is pretty fucking stupid when you think about it.

Yes, it is. But the mods haven't made any attempts to adjust the board to fit that definition.

To be honest, I'm rather glad they do not. 1999 seems like a pretty good cutoff date to me, and the rest of you be damned.

And it's not so much that I don't want to discuss 6th Gen stuff. I really would.

But you people, and your demeanor, has made me dislike you completely. At this point I'm happy to see you not get your way simply out of spite.

Instead of petitioning the administration over this, you come here and make threads where you stamp your feet, make demands, and generally derail and shitpost. You know it's not allowed, but you think if you cry hard enough, that will change. All you do is just shit the board up in the process instead of going about this like reasonable adults.

I really dislike people like you. You have this mentality that everything should change to suit you, rather than you changing to suit the environment. You don't want to become part of a community, you want to demolish that community's rules, and ethics until it caters to you and your demands.

That's probably what bothers me the most about all this, the belief that an established community should change its rules and alienate existing posters who are happy for the place as it is just to please those who demand it loudly enough. And, to add on top of that, it isn't like there is nowhere else where PS2 and XBOX discussion is allowed, it is just that that place apparently doesn't meet their standards.

He's entirely correct, though. Perhaps you could argue that videogames have some special uber-specific definition of "retro" (though I personally would think you're full of shit at that point), but in every other enthusiast field shit like "retro", "vintage", and "antique" have specific well-defined meanings which greatly affect the price at which you can charge and not be seen as a fucking crook.

Are you fucking NEW here? They were pushing to get it considered retro in April 2013, by May they were complaining "Dreamcast is retro, STUPID FUCKING MODS!" In June we finally got a sticky with the rules, stating that DC was NOT retro. That september, the DC kids started their shitposting campaign to get the DC considered retro, and in November of 2013 the rules changed to give the DC special snowflake status. Check the archives if you don't believe me.

This thread makes it pretty obvious that the bulk of the shitposting is coming from teenagers and early twenties people. Entitlement, narcissism and entryism are common among them, and they can't accept /vr/ not covering PS2 in much the same way that normies can't accept 4chan being an anime site and SJWs can't accept video games not being made for them. These days the norm is to try to take over other people's communities and force them to do things your way. And that results in cataclysmic amounts of shitposting and derailing.

The reason why the PS2 isn't "retro" is because it's effectively identical to a PS3 or PS4. The games are the same and so is the controller. There's nothing oldfashioned about it.

Of course there's a lot more shitposting than just >muh PS2 going on here, like having screaming matches over consoles that came out long before the /v/irgins here were even born, and making all sorts of shitty bait and other zero effort threads that are commonplace on /v/.

I think it's because most of them don't come from the era of traditional forums and don't understand what made 4chan so appealing in the first place. To them 4chan is only what the mass media view of it is; a place of trolls and shitposting and being offensive for the sake of it. When they leave the high traffic, large population boards, or go to /a/, they are suddenly aghast when they find themselves staring face-to-face with the older 4chan (and internet in general) community. Our mentality on how online communities should, and have operated for decades stuns them, and all they can do is just throw hissy fits because anything else is outside of their realm completely.

The very notion of "You cater to us, we do not cater to you." is too foreign a concept for them.

The games out now are a lot different in terms of design, consumer expectations, and features. Online connectivity was still in comparative infancy in the early 2000s, 3D platformers were still dominant, and consoles were designed for a CRT TV and lacked proper HD support. Nor was there any Blu-Ray support because it didn't exist yet.

6th gen games are also largely based in early 2000s pop culture/archetypes which are quite different from 2016's pop culture/archetypes.

> Why argue as if you know what's best for the board?

The OP didn't ask what was best for the board. He or she listed a
series of gripes about what the board's become, describing what most
threads and posts are about.

Based on that, and the purpose of the board, I drew the conclusion that
stagnation was a likely (if not solo) culprit.

Did I make an assumption? Absolutely. Was it necessarily fair? Probably not.
But given that, by your and other posters admissions, the same old arguments
keep popping up, I'm not convinced I was that far off the mark. The board keeps
arguing over the same thing. That's textbook stagnation.

Maybe a change could help. What should that change be? I dunno. Maybe the topic should take into account games from a certain length of time in the past, rather than a
very specific era? Maybe the board should take up discussing modern attempts at
paying homage to older games?

I know where he's coming from. I've seen it before. He's some bitter unemployed 40 year old manchild who hasn't kept up with video games since the Clinton years and in his mind, all the stuff from the PS2 onward all runs together like a blur. Of course if you actually stopped and analyzed things, you'd notice that the early 2000s was quite a long time ago and a lot has changed since then.

His thinking is something like "All 2001- stuff is all the same Cawad00dy/Halo shit to me I can't tell one game apart from another anymore." so that's why he says there's no functional difference between 2002's games (14 fucking years ago, an eternity of time) and the present.

And it may also be that as you get older, time seems to pass quicker so he may not exactly be aware of how long ago the early 2000s was. He probably also thinks it was like two years ago when it wasn't.

Can you describe what has changed from FPS games in 2001 and FPS games in 2016? Or any other genre really? I like 6th gen but 6th gen game design is largely the same as what we have today. Yes, it was a while ago, but stylistically 6th gen has a lot more in common with modern games than with pre-2000 stuff.

That means in 2029, we can discuss 6th Gen on /vr/.

PS2s are very outdated and old, true. However, the big problem is that while the console itself is 17 years old, its primary commercial lifespan lasted through 2006 which is only 10 years ago.

I think if we're going to argue anything, it's more that the last 6th gen games are just a decade old rather than the asinine argument made by >>3145814 that a console designed during the Clinton years is still comparable to modern ones hardware wise.

Video games have not continued to progres at a constant, linear rate, just like cinema hasn't. At some point they both matured.

There are a great deal more differences between 1988 and 2002 than there are between 2002 and 2016. In 1988 3D games hardly existed aside from flight simulators and such (using vector graphics).

I was just saying that it's really stupid to allow discussion of some consoles in a gen but not others based on end date, because they still shared much of their library.

We had this problem with the Dreamcast back when it wasn't allowed, there's an image floating around that I don't have but basically there were a bunch of games that came out on DC before PS1 and we could talk about the newer PS1 versions but not the older DC versions.

That's a bunch of bullshit, really, and just an excuse little millennials use when people actually attack their beloved little shit games.

Look, it's a FACT that in the mid-90s, there was a shift to style-over-substance games to lure in non-gamers of the time. Mario 64, MGS, the N64 Zelda games, all the shallow fucking PS1 games, etc. The gameplay wasn't there, but there was a style to them that attracted gamers and kept them while real gameplay in games was beginning to decline sharply.

I don't give a fuck what arbitrary assignments you give, retro is 15 years old.

Yeah. Besides, the consensus for /vr/ has always been overwhelmingly in favor of the 1999 cutoff. It shows the maturity level of the people that come here and demand we chance to accept them. Rather than accepting that we've decided on something, and want it to remain so.

I'd love to discuss 6th Gen with them, but as I've said before; fuck'em. Their insolent behavior has made me despise them fully. I hope the cutoff remains in place simply out of spite.

This is the exact reason why I hate the DC kids. I was in favor of letting the DC in, right up until the shitposting campaign. They lost all respect from me with that shit. Self-centered shits.

This is a horrible argument; most of those had huge gaps where no games were released, unlike PS2

Doesn't matter anyways, it's about game styles etc.

Keep Persona sluts and melee fags off /vr/

I didn't make it to /vr/ until after the DC shitfest. I think I peeked in a few times prior, but never really spent enough time until 2014 when I was getting back into collecting retro games again.

I'll be honest, I think the DC inclusion is spurious at best, but there are -some- legitimate arguments for it. The fact that it came out during the 5th Gen, and spent the majority of it's short success during the period prior to the release of the PS2 in western markets gives it good reason to be included in /vr/.

However at the same time, it really was a 6th Gen console. Allowing it has let to too many allowances for the current crop of shitposters to remain here making stupid arguments. I get it. /v/ is shit. But /vr/ has it's own problems, and allowing a bunch of immigrants onto the board that have already shown that they hate the board, and it's culture is not going to help things at all. It'll just make things worse. I think the only reason they want to come here is to get away from /v/'s bullshit. But /v/ could surely use some people making threads that aren't shit. The least they could do is try instead of saying "Oh my god there's never any threads!" Nobody's stopping them from making the damn threads. Same goes for this board and the complaints of "We have nothing to talk about!" Bullshit. We have 25 good years of content to sprawl over. 35 in reality. There's no shortage of topics to cover. People just aren't making the threads for it.

This. Funny how the anons from the 6th gen troop don't seem able to notice it themselves. Or they probably do and do it anyway to shit on the board because why can't muh childhood be retro tooooooo.

For those of you who want to discuss 6th gen here, think of it like this: forget the word retro. It's the golden age of gaming. Like comics had a golden age, and a silver, bronze and modern age. This is where we talk about the beginning of gaming. Silver age can never be golden age, likewise 6th gen and beyond will never be retro.
