Why isn't gen 6 allowed on /vr/ when they're nearly 20 years old?

this

In my opinion the "gap" between new and old is between PS2 and PS3. The PS3/360 gen was basically the first gen where consoles felt somewhat redundant compared to PCs. If it were me, Gamecube PS2 and Xbox would be allowed on /vr/ because those consoles weren't totally drenched in online and microtransactions.

post 2000 shit isn't allowed

because something being a decade old doesn't mean its retro, especially when it comes to videogames
for instance halo and majority of the ps2 library is literally anti-retro

"Retro" isn't an era you brainless retard, any old game is retro.
The specific time frames for that are arbitrary and can be debated, but putting a hard limit on the year 2000 has no factual basis.
You're just a retarded boomer who's scared of the passage of time, acknowledging that GC games are retro would make you feel too old yourself.

To gatekeep zoomers and keep them contained to Yas Forums.

What the fuck is Anti Retro?

Because fuck you, we don't want the board to be flooded with Melee threads

Melee is still relevant to this day so it would stay on Yas Forums.
Hopefully it gets a sequel one day.

>To answer your question OP. Its because Gen 6 will never ever be retro. Why rock music from the 1990s isn't put under the same category as classic rock.
It...is user.

my local classic rock station has started playing Green Day and Foo Fighters.

"Retro"
adjective
"imitative of a style, fashion, or design from the recent past."

go ahead, show up to a retro gaming convention screaming about how much you enjoyed halo 2
"old to you" doesn't mean retro irl

Halo is considered retro now. Cope.

my local Hard Rock-branded radio station has been playing nothing but pop top 40 for the last ten years

Yas Forums still has frequent threads about gamecube and ps2 games. They can stay here a bit longer until the real zoomers take over this board.

This
Those are the only worthwhile threads anyway

Those threads barely live in this MTX/cinematic/gacha obsessed shithole.

>gacha obsessed

The fuck is a gacha?

It's not about how old a console is. /vr/ has a line in the sand and your console is either on one side or the other. Stop thinking about it in terms of age and it won't be so confusing.

Have you been in stasis for the last ten years?

vr shouldn't even exist.
if Yas Forums had poster ids most of this shit threads wouldn't last 10 posts because everyone would realize it's the same guy posting all the time

its a genre of games where reetarded weebs pay thousands of dollars to stare at the waifus some gook designed in 10 minutes in a sweatshop.

Cancer

Then it's not a retro board and shouldn't label itself as such.
It's a board specifically for games released prior to the year 2000.

woop found another one

Retro isn't about time, it's about design philosophy. Between the start of gen 5 and gen 6 there was a massive shift in how games are designed, and that new style is still with us more or less unchanged to this day.

Open any thread with tits and it's filled with legit coomers who shovel their McDonald's paychecks at slot machines.

"Gacha" is short for "gachapon". Those machines with toys contained in capsules.

Between them and the actual fucking retards flaming over consoles this board is complete cancer and its readership is the same.

Zoomers unironically shit this board up too much.

How is that image relevant in any way to what he said? Are you just doubling down on pretending to be retarded, or are you legitimately this stupid?

You're too new to get it.

>6 of 8 gens have to be retro because I was 5 when muh PS2 came out
>6 of 8
>75% of all gens
>retro

I can guarantee I've been here longer than you.
Now answer my question, faggot.

Gacha players are Gen Xers who gave up on life.

not anymore boomer
thats COD now
halo is retro shit

mobile games board when? it would help clear up /vg/ a bit too

I'm gonna need a source on that, mobile gaming cancer expert.

To be fair, nobody cares about gen 1 or 2. But 3/4/5 and 6/7/8 is still an appropriate split.

Just replace /vg/ with a mobile gaming board and increase the thread limit on Yas Forums. Nothing good comes from /vg/, it's just a tripfag petri dish.

Why would any zoomer care about gacha
They don't have money for spins, they haven't given up on life that much yet either

>Why would zoomers play mobile games?

Please tell me you're joking.

can someone tell me how I can make a forum filled with people who think exactly like me and like the things I do and everyone else is permanently banned
I'm being completely unironic

mobile games =/= gacha
I know you're a boomer but I didn't expect the dementia to land this soon

Make a *chan site that peaks at 200 unique visitors that people rapidly forget about because people have had their reward centers hijacked by imaginary scoring systems a la Facebook and Reddit.

we stopped gatekeeping Yas Forums and look what happened to it

>To be fair
It's not, actually, since your biased outlook is irrelevant. Just because you don't think gen 1 and 2 is significant doesn't mean they aren't.

You're a disingenuous faggot, the least you can do is admit it.

I'm 24. All mobile games except the educational ones are MTX-laden non-games that exist to separate easily influenced retards from their money with the same tired drip feed scam and shamelessly gimped pacing.

It's all the same, you blackpilled retard.

Damn, you seem triggered. I'm merely educating you, as someone younger than you, that no one younger than you gives a fuck about the chinese slot machine scam

I like how you specified Halo 2, because you know damn fucking well Halo would be considered retro.

I didn't say they weren't significant, I said nobody cares about them. Which is true. 99% of people couldn't name a single title on the atari 2600 from memory, and 90% of those that could would say "E.T."

Need a safespace, fag?

>I'm a shut-in who's hinting at feeling the early onset of NEETdom
>Nobody my age plays gacha games because I don't

The only people I've ever known to play shit like Azur Lane, FE: Fates, and all that other cancer have exclusively been zoomers.

yes

yes
I'm tired of being around things and people I hate
I want my own club

Fucking pathetic tumblrfags need to get off Yas Forums.

I would jump on a video games board that were moderated actively to cull low-effort, unoriginal posts while leaving quality or at least attempts at quality bantz

Except if it's on a "retro" console
Take Majora's Mask or the original Dreamcast release of SA2 for example, those are retro by the board's standards

Have you EVER been to another imageboard, you insufferable turbonigger?

Because /vr/ thinks that if gen 6 is allowed people will intrude on their sekrit club. That's literally it.

Retro has this connotation of reverence that honestly does not apply to 6th gen. All that cancer you see about cinematic bullshit? That began there.

Wanting moderation is not the same as, "I only want to see things I like"

Try listening to a classic rock station and seethe when you hear 90's music, you dumb faggot. If there's a distinction to be made between pre-6th gen and post, then so be it but even if that's the case, you're the one who is using the wrong terminology and thus you're in the wrong and it's on you to correct yourself. Eat shit.

>we don't want the board to be flooded with Melee threads
Just like how the board is flooded with DOOM threads?
Oh wait, they're contained in their own general, not to mention that DOOM is a fuck more popular game than Melee.
Also, if Halo was ever deemed they would either be pushed into their own general or maybe, just maybe, accepted by the DOStards that run it
