>Remember the 2000s? S0VL
2000s games were already soulless compared to the 90s. "Urban" games centered around pop bling wiggershit (50 Cent), dull orange/grey filters, oversaturation of sports/Maddden games, less experimentation than the 90s, soundtracks with ProTools mallcore buttrock (Chevelle Trapt) instead of 80s-90s metal, etc.

Sounds like you just missed out, anon. Keep on rollin bb

Only amerifats suffered this. The 2000s were cool.

The /vr/ cutoff date should be December '97.

>>11874997
Limp Bizkit was late 90s, pre-9/11. They were before the 2001-2008 deluge.

>>11874997
Why do you think I didn't tell him to have Faith?

>WalMart and McDonald's as 00s things
What

>>11875002
The /vr/ cutoff should be 1987, everything later is not retro

oops.
>>11875005 meant for >>11875003 . Guess that makes me quite a chocolate starfish

>>11875002
I'd go with 1999 so we can still talk about Soul Reaver but I'd prefer yours over whatever it currently is (2006?)

Allowing gen 6 was the biggest mistake in this board's history.

>>11875019
Not really, you're just becoming an old man. Consoles that released over 20 years ago are definitely retro.

>>11874993 (OP)
Maybe you should try some Japanese games little bro
sage

>>11875023
>Doesn't realize how much console generations used to actually change
We've been in an age of stagnation for a while now.

>>11875023
It truly was a mistake. All it did was attract undesirables who spam shit threads.

>>11875026
>back in my day things changed differently! It's not like these days, where...
Uh huh. That's nice grandpa.

>>11875036

>>11874993 (OP)
S0vl is just what you grew up with

>>11875028
I support some gen 6 games being discussed but its pretty obvious that gen 6 threads are filled with different people, and they arent pleasant to interact with.

>>11875094
I would add Gen 5 to this, it's all console warring shit, and Nintendo vs Sony shitposting carried over from /v/. /vr/ should be limited to Gen 4 and earlier.

>>11875028
cry about it, if you don't want me to spam then don't play dollhouse with individual posters smashing them together like some weird child player freak going "NOW KISS" uh oh betty!, shader poster needs to go in this race car, not that one, I'm gonna tell mom!

On god this shit is embarassing, what's undesirable is your shit moderation but act like you somehow don't see the don't see the bigger picture.

Product placement in 2000s games didn't feel as cancerous or on the nose as it does now. I guess people were less cynical back then because times were better

>>11875097
proofread before posting

>>11874993 (OP)
80s metal was really gay. The worst decade for rock music. Mallcore and 50 Cent are way better.

>>11875023
Age does not equal retro you dumb shit sucking retard.

>>11875146
You were trembling making this post. You will never ever have a /vr/ where 6th gen isn't allowed and I love it. You will probably never stop seething about it.

>tons of shitty bait threads
>mods clean up
>3 to 5 days later they appear again

Hmmm

"Retro" is in fact defined by age, old man

>>11874993 (OP)
Imagine a Diddy game

>>11875439
here you go

I have zoomer fatigue

>>11875224
Banning quite literally doesn't help. They'll be shitposting within a minute of seeing the ban.

>>11875215
If enough time passes I can see 7th gen getting accepted and it getting broken off into a 6/7th gen exclusive board, maybe with 5th gen. I dont see 7th gen just getting added here.

>>11875476
Unlikely to happen unless /vr/ becomes far more active. Right now it's one of the slow boards. The whole reason this board exists is because /v/ is so fast and the discussion is naturally dominated by the latest games, so there was nowhere to discuss older games. Time won't wait and this will soon apply to 7th gen games. Too many people on this board are Millennials who think this board exists to pander to their own personal nostalgia and what they consider to be "retro", but that was never the case.

>>11874993 (OP)
Chevelle is actually based. The 2021 album is a pleasant surprise considering how shit modern rock music is.

>>11875497
/vr/ is a fast board as far as /v/ subboards are concerned. excluding more games would make it slower but not any slower than something like /vrpg/

>>11875141
Thrash/hardcore punk was kino though

>>11875036
He's right, video games were a new medium and they were evolving at an exponential rate. Would you say that cinema changed just as much between 1985-2025 as it did between 1915-1955?

>>11875003
Limp Bizkit were everywhere in the early 00s.

>>11875753
Their last peak was Chocolate Starfish, mid 2001 (pre-9/11, still cultural 90s). Results May Vary was after 9/11 and that was a drop in sales.

>>11875759
Chocolate Starfish was still dropping singles well into 2002 and Fred Durst was still a cultural punching bag as late as 2006.
Don't pretend you were there, zoomer. Google and Wikipedia can't support the facade.
