Hiro, are you here? Can we get a board for Japanese games only please? /v/ is really bad these days because of Westkeks who love casual dudebro garbage, "cinematic experiences" and e-celeb cancer. Another split would benefit us a lot and cut down the shitposting to a minimum.

The only "games" you can discuss on /jp/ are VNs and Touhou.

I want a board dedicated to Japanese games in general, free of Westkek casuals who play Cawadooty, Halo or Gears and can't shut up about e-ecelebs.

It's not our fault you like shitty Japanese games with cookie cutter anime characters rather than good Japanese games. You post shit, you get shitposted

I like games that have good gameplay and I don't disregard games with an anime aesthetic if they have that unlike the shallow dudebro casuals obsessed with CoD and Halo. This is why I think Western games are shit; because it's very rare to see one that has good gameplay these days.
>>
Nah it would be disastrous. Stop trying to break 4chan in multiple general boards. It only serves to hinder discussion where you can talk about a particular subject on the main board because there is a dedicated board on this subject.

And yet you can't stop sucking the dick of absolutely fecal matter like Nier and Drakengard, Persona and SMT...

Such great games right. Keep telling yourself you play them for any reasons but the anime aesthetics

And what do you play those WRPGs that play like absolute ass for? At least JRPGs have some good exceptions to the rule like Gravity Rush, Monster Hunter series, the Souls series, Ys Celceta, Tales, Soul Sacrifice, Dragon's Dogman, etc. Meanwhile, I can't think of a single WRPG that isn't the most clunky shit imaginable. I couldn't even stand playing Skyrim or Fallout for more than a few hours because of the combat.
>>
>>317647
Unique gameplay =/= good gameplay

MH is good, but it's hampered by sloth like progression when you should just be taking down new monsters the whole time rather than grinding because your weapon can no longer keep up the damage to not time out

Ys & Souls series has absolute dogshit gameplay, don't kid yourself

Tales hasn't been good in years. Dragons Dogma is one I'll concede

Haven't played the other two because I don't have a Shita

>meanwhile I can't think of a single WRPG
That's probably because you are totally braindead. They are a bit thin on the ground now, but there's years, and years of quality WRPGs
>>
>>317652
>Unique gameplay =/= good gameplay

Action RPGs from Japan always have better gameplay than WRPGs. This is a fact.

>Ys & Souls series has absolute dogshit gameplay

I could understand criticizing Souls (even though the gameplay is still miles better than any WRPG out there), but Ys Celceta having "absolute dogshit gameplay"? Sorry, your opinion is discarded, my friend.

>That's probably because you are totally braindead. They are a bit thin on the ground now, but there's years, and years of quality WRPGs

With good gameplay? Okay. Try to list me any. Even the most praised ones like Deus Ex, Planescape Torment and Morrowind play like garbage. Even the fans of those games admit it.

You're not helping the case by insulting Western games, OP.

The most legitimate reason to split /v/ into /jv/ and /wv/ is that /v/ is too big, and dividing by western/japanese is simply the best way to do it. Despite all the previous splits, /v/ is still too big. The shitposting can't be stopped. However, it can be separated. Another board will also mean more staff. Yes, a lot of staff seem to be shit, but I'm sure that most of them (or at least some) are actually decent.

In the beginning, /jv/ will shitpost on /wv/, and vice-versa, but the staff just needs to be harsh on it. They don't have to go full totalitarian when it comes to the rules; only on "All discussion/shitposting on /jv/ or /wv/ must be about each board's respective games" or however it'll be phrased. If mods and jannies are dedicated enough, in the beginning, the cross-shitposting will fade away. People will get bored, and will return to regular shitposting.

Nobody on /v/ is interested in discussion. Have you ever been to /v/? That place needs further dissection. One that cuts away the tumor known as westaboos.
>>
>>314830
How about just leave /v/ for Nipponese shit and make /vw/ for Western shit?
Either way I'm not really on board of this idea since /v/ already got split 3 times without much improvement. This will just make /v/ a Sony Nintendo playground.
>>
>>320660
The problem is the intense amount of shitposting done by Nintendo fanboys. They're quite hated on /v/ now for being the cause of console wars since they pretend to be mustards and shitpost in PS4 threads. Some accuse the moderation of moderating in Nintendo's favor.
>>
>>320663

That is blatantly evident. It's like denying NeoGaf is practically run by Sony.

Holy shit that board is more trouble than its worth.
But I kinda agree that it cant get any worse so might as well try and see.

This.

/vr/ is the only success story of splitting /v/ and that's because it's small.
>>
>>320663
I don't think it's much different on Nintendo threads' end. There's plenty of NINTENDOOMED and Sonyposting too. Are you sure it's not just neutral falseflagging shitposters trying to rile both ends up?
>>
>>320665
They also need to change the moderation. Shitposting threads go on for 400 pages untouched while similar shitposting threads for a console preferred by mods get deleted within seconds.

This is easily the most retarded reason for a board split I've seen and I'm not convinced that this whole thread isn't just shitposting.

It makes more sense than the creation of /vr/. I'm still not in favour of it though.
>>
>>320687
It's literally impossible to discuss japanese games on /v/ without retards coming in screaming about "weebshit"
>>
>>320687
A drastic change of moderators would probably be better. Shitposting goes by too easily. And /v/ should always be a board that leans more towards Japan. This is 4chan after all.
>>
>>320691
You can discuss both on /v/.
Quit being a bitch just because it's different from your old forum.
>>
>>320691
Well anon which games? Because

is literal weebshit as opposed to
>Tales, Xenoblade, FF, ...
And plenty of other non-shitty japanese games

What /v/ needs an opening post robot. I don't give a shit about Western vs. Eastern, the problem is the constantly regurgitated threads that don't have any clear point of discussion.

>why is this allowed
>what did he mean by this
>>
Also, why do Idolmaster threads get deleted on /v/? I can spot five shitposting threads any time of the hour yet the moment and Idolmaster thread pops up and it's deleted within seconds.

Why do /v/ mods hate anime games?
>>
>>320675
Well in all fairness these threads were at 2 different timeframes. I'd be convinced if they were both made around the same time. Night /v/ is covered with garbage threads without moderation for hours.

>>
>>320708
This is the /v/ cancer incarnate. Look at this faggot, using "weebshit" unironically on a weeb site made by weebs for weebs. This is why /v/ is in a dire need of a cleansing. It has become normie magnet number one.
>>
How about let's leave /v/ as it is and all learn to ignore posts we don't like?
>>
>>320712
Yeah because Wapanese hasn't been on 4chan for nearly a decade.
>>
>>320715
Try to make a Bloodborne thread and see how that works out. Ignoring shitposting is only feasible when shitposting is a minority of posts.
>>
>>320717
wapanese was filtered for a reason. Learn your 4chan history before spewing it.

>>

And why is that? Why is the only Bloodborne thread on /v/ one that says it's coming to PC? Just like yesterday? Just like the day before yesterday? Mods aren't even trying to salvage that shit.
>>
>>320660
>This will just make /v/ a Sony Nintendo playground.
That would be for the best desu because most of the shitposting comes from Microsoft marketers and PKeks
>>
We need to split the board because I have thin-skin and I don't want people to bully me on 4chan :(

>>320728
I think people want to split the board so they can actually discuss the games they post about.

Doesn't work, Metal Gear, Dark Souls, and a ton of other games would be up on both boards since western fags don't know shit about vidya.

I just don't think /v/ should be split up more. Just add and enforce some rules like no "60 vs 30 fps" or "E-Celeb" threads. And ban all "never ever PC keks" and "thanks for beta testing console peasants" shit posters.
>>
>>320745

Sorry the western board is full of underage faggots, but that should just speak to taste in vidya

They probably bump them knowing that you specifically will get mad.

Well the idea is that the western board becomes shitposting ground for Neofaggers so the rest of us can talk about vidya in /v/ jap proper.

A good way to fix /v/ would be to ban people like you.

I generally prefer japanese games but your faggotry is exactly what killed /v/.

We need to crack down on console wars, samefags, general shit tier flamebait and all the other faggotry that plagues the board.

IDs would help. More actives mods would help too. A userbase that reports garbage would help a LOT.
Why is there no sticky on /v/? Its clear that most dont know the actual 4chan rules and how you get the mods attention.

Holy shit, this. I see many boards were there is a red letters sticky that lists the rules. But /v/ looks like a board forgotten by gods and mods.
Pushing out eCelebs and off topic shit would be a great idea.
>>
>>320757
Then stay at your western board filled with shitposters and NeoFaggers.
>>
>>320757
What's to stop people who normally prefer western games to discuss games like the Souls series on /jv/? Do you think they would just stay on the western board? No, they would come to /jv/ to discuss the few jap games they did like.

But also entries made by eastern ones.

>>
>>320767
I just want to be able to talk about videogames.

It's not about the insults. The problem is it evolved to a giant shitposting thread where both sides are flinging insults instead of actually talking about the god damn game.

>>320753
>Split by dev; not by publisher.
So, if I make a thread on the japanese board about Metroid, I can talk about all the games except the Prime ones, otherwise I'd be banned?
And if I make a Metroid thread in the western board, I'd be forced to talk about only Prime games?
This is beyond stupid.

I would assume this would cross into the territory about how you can talk about anime related video games on /v/ and /a/
>>
>>320768
Moot was both right and wrong about that.
Sure, you talk about videogames.
That takes care of the offtopic shit.

Now what about console wars and other videogame related shitposting?
What about the general post quality?
What about the samefagging niggers posting their same stale shit every hour?
>>
>>320768
I think /v/ really does need that spelled out at the top of the board at all times.

That's a good point. Well, Metroid started off Japanese. Therefore, it should go on /jv/.

For instance, if a Jap studio decided to make a Deus Ex game, it would still go on /wv/.

Or, we can do what >>320779 said.
>>
>>320790
Sonyggers are also best at false flagging like you are right now.

Same could be said of plenty of western games.

Persona has an upcoming game, so people are taking about it and the series in general. Neptunia releases games quite frequently.

Fallout 4 is coming out soon, so there are tons of threads about it. MGS has threads every day too.

We don't need eceleb threads every day either but here we are, knee deep in the shit.

You see like one xbox thread every two days on /v/ at best.

Xbox has no audience on /v/. Its extremely western focused and people who like western games gravitate towards PC already.
At least on /v/, where people prefer to play their spess muhreen shooters with keyboard and mouse.

It also really doesnt help that the Xbox brand has been a publicity nightmare for a long time now.

See this shit? This is one of the reasons /v/ has and always will be shit. For some unfathomable reason people cant get a 'stop liking what I dont like' mentality out of their fucking heads and have just spewed the same shit like this for years.

I'm just saying it how it is. Sonyggers are objectively the worst shitposters on /v/.
And thats not a shitpost, thats a pretty fucking on point observation.

>>320846
The only thing to do is bringing more moderation. Isn't /v/ like one of the most active boards on 4chan? More activity means need of more moderation. There are hours on /v/ where there are no mods or janitors around, where shitposters dump NSFW and furry shit non stop.

They hate Japanese devs. They always shit on Japanese devs no matter what. And shitting on Destiny will net you a ban since one of the mods is a Bungie shill.

/v/'s moderation exists. It's just that it's selective and very often also faulty. Nintendo shitposting threads are deleted very fast. PS4 shitposting threads last until bump limit is hit. Waifu threads get deleted within seconds.

Mods exist. It's just that they don't know how to moderate.
>>
>>320861
Why should I ignore them? Didnt know that people only care about circlejerking.
I'm not satisfied with the direction japanese games are heading into, and I will not stop talking about that until things change.

Also Senran threads are shit. Nothing but softcore dumps and waifu posting. No gameplay discussion ever. Its pretty much offtopic.
I definitely dont participate in that garbage.

FF14 has dedicated spammers.

At some point it got so bad that they actually entered every other MMO thread just to shit it up and advertise their game.
Mods actually started deleting the threads because it was clearly general material and the posters were obnoxious as fuck.

I guess they arent getting deleted now because its not as extreme anymore.

And for some reason CoD threads have been much more popular lately. People dont shit onto the game as much as they should anymore.

Do you want people in your threads always shitposting how they don't like the game? You come off as self-centered, thinking your opinion is hot shit. It's not. Nobody asked for your input. When someone makes a Senran thread or FF thread, they're not looking for you to enter it and publically display your opinions. Nobody cares.

Fuck off if you can't deal with niche weeb games being talked about. The fact that you think that's the "direction" Jap games are taking displays a NeoFagger-tier paranoia that has no understanding that these type of games have always existed.

Thanks for posting though. Proves everyone's point why /v/ needs to cull the normies who shitpost in Jap game threads.

I am not interested in your completely wrong observation of the japanese games market.

Calm down NeoFag. I'm saying your opinion has no weight. You're acting like a child, thinking your opinions matter. They don't. For someone who makes a Senran thread, your opinions won't change their minds. They'll just think you a retard for attempting to derail their threads.

I think its weird that people expect communities to have absolutely no overlap.

Retards who shout Reddit and Neogaf 24/7 are some of the worst cancer on the board.
When people act like bitches on 4chan then thats not a reddit or neogaf thing, thats a local problem. And that should also be solved locally.

Three and a half splits is enough. /v/ is already fractured as it is, and further splitting will just encourage more toxic behavior.

Moot split up /v/ years ago because people were unhappy with games like Starcraft or MOBAs. /vg/ was a direct response to how these games had too many threads.

The thing is, we really don't need /v/ to be split up again. /vg/ only happened because we did not have thread management controls or tracking systems like the catalog. Now that we have those today, it doesn't make sense to keep dividing up the board. If you split it off again, it will only make it worse since people will shitpost even more about how something doesn't belong in /v/.

What the board needs the most is good moderators that understand when to get rid of a thread and when not to.

/v/ is the place to discuss video games. Period.

We only have /vg/ because some games become so popular and long standing they would generate dozens a threads that would be constantly bumped the entire day and night. Clogging up the first 3 pages with nothing but 1 game being discussed over and over.

Hell we already have a fucking retro /v/ which honestly we did not need.

We don't need a fucking West/East game divide. It is just silly at that point.

Thanks for /aco/ though Mootwo. That board has a real purpose because /h/ /d/ /e/ /cm/ and /u/ had a no Western policy. Meaning a huge amount of content was restricted. There was and is and will not be a need for a jap game only board.

>>322414

That's the user's fault then. I know, it sucks to report half a thread, but if janny is summoned they can either prune the thread or delete it entirely. As more bans get issued for port begging, fewer people will try their luck. It doesn't even need to be an exclusive. I've noticed that it's almost impossible to talk about ps4/vita multiplats that aren't on pc without port begging. Because a few games get ported, people think that gives them a license to derail threads about gameplay discussion. Port begging has no place on any board and really should be a bannable offense.

>>322403
How do you know that for certain? /a/ is pretty much just anime and just the popular manga so I don't see how a board for the lesser known stuff could be bad.

Do not split /v/. It has been split 3 times already. It does not need anymore new boards. /v/ still has very good discussion of certain games, all we need is new moderators and for them to actually care about the board.

Companies love to advertise on /v/, we need better moderation! More mods, less user splitting, please!

>>322303
Do not divide.

Remerge with /vg/ and /vr/
>>
>>322303
Right now /v/ is fine, It has been split up many times already, and the filter is literally saving the board, god bless you for that.

If anything, you should make sure the janitors stop deleting threads that aren't going against the rules/board culture. Right now it seems they are deleting threads willy-nilly.

There was some thread about homosexual characters in games a few days back and it got into some actual quality videogame discussion for once instead of shitposting, and talked about good gay characters and some examples of them and other gay characters that were clearly just shoehorned in, but some mod deleted it.

Saw a /v/ingo thread get deleted too some time back.

It seems to be really bad between 8am-4pm PST especially.

If anything were to be changed with it, it might be nice to do a test run of the unique poster id for 24 hours thing that some other boards have, just to spot all the shills and false flaggers for a while, but I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to have forever. /v/ has some weird problem with brand loyalty instead of just playing videogames.

If you have any intention of splitting anything off again. >>322433 Listen to this anon. Intstead of discussing games, some days half the threads on the board are discussing other people playing games.

Make some sort of current events/celeb/SJW/GG type board. The problem on /v/ isn't west vs east, it's shit about YouTube personalities and bitching about social justice in games that needs to go. Have stricter moderation. "LOL" webcomic threads that have nothing to do with /v/ should go as well. Just make a board called VIDEO GAMES about video games. Splitting what little content we have left will not help. It will only make the problem exist on two new boards.

Splitting the board is a stupid idea, it's been done THREE times already (/vr/, /vg/, and /vp/), and /v/ is still shit. Any board with so many users is going to be shit, even if you split the board in half it'd still be too big/fast.
>>
>>322449

The overwhelming majority of which are anime. It's okay to have subjects on multiple boards. /m/ being slower helps people single out older mecha shows. For instance, you don't see a lot of fafner on /a/ even though it's airing this season. /m/ allows mecha anime specifically to be examined more easily. /a/ overlaps with lots of boards. That doesn't mean /v/ should be split, but I like the hamfisted approach of old. Everything stays on /v/, untranslated games can also be posted on /jp/.
>>

Ban posting from mobile clients on /v/ and other 'problem' boards with shitposting problems. It sucks but I'm sure that EPIC post you wanted to make can wait until you get home/you're at your PC.It's just to easy to ban evade and shitpost from mobile, they need to be regined in or get banished.

That and figure out a way to reliably ban, because whatever has been done thus far is wholly ineffective and trivial to bypass. If you're gonna permaban someone, make it stick, dont slap them on the wrist and then look the other way as the idiot sneaks back in 5 minutes later through the door you just threw his ass out of.

This

There was a reoccurring thread shilling a /v/ group for an mmo not too long ago
The threads always derail into shitposting and die before 50 posts
With the amounts of threads they're making, they should just be posting in the game's general on /vg/, but they constantly detest the idea
>>
>>322338

I think there needs to be a "strict /v/" where any sort of shit posting gets you permabanned from strict /v/. Five years ago /v/ was awesome and there was no "this game is bad lol" three months before the game even comes out.
>>
Hiro just split the board up, doesn't matter /v/'s opinion, they don't know what they want. And they will accept it once you do it.

It would also be unbalanced with /v/ leaning more nintendo these days.

I think it's crucial to clean up the drama threads, like the current labzero indivisible threads, there's been at least 10 made alone today and they're nothing but ranting and lies about sjw boogeymen. It's autismal, and despite it centered around vidya, it's not vidya. An eceleb board wouldn't fix this garbage either. How can you not discuss what the director said about their game when talking vidya? It's the spun out /pol/ autism destroying the discussion. Maybe a vidya poltics contamination board?

>>322432
>How do you know that for certain?
The obvious question is wut do when there's an ongoing manga also getting an anime adaptation? Can that be cleanly resolved?

I also just see it being one of the most broken and disjointed boards possible. Pretty much any anime gets subs these days (unless it's an OVA to a niche or unpopular series) but a manga getting a thread depends on if someone is translating it, and the whims of how well and how often they do. For example Instant Bullet didn't have any threads for months and now it has threads fairly regularly now because the translation is moving along. And so we have a board with topics that can just suddenly die because there's no new accessible content coming out, a board that will suddenly and unceremoniously pick up again if translations get going, and a board where the userbase who can read Japanese will be miles ahead in knowledge of the material to anyone else just because they can read what others can't, not really an issue with most anime.

I just don't think it'll end up being pretty. True, it's hard to get threads going on /a/ for some more lesser known titles but that applies to anime too. And who's to say lesser known manga will have threads that can survive on a manga board either? It's not guaranteed just because the board is slower. Slower boards have threads of one kind or another that die out without a single reply all the time.

The problem with fusing /jp/ and a potential vidya-japan is that would include nintendo discussion making the board MASSIVE.

No no no. You are coming at this ass backwards. Splintering the boards more and more simply means an escalation to shitposting.

People shitpost for fun or for memeing or because they are newfags or actually think it is cool and natural to shitpost.

You give each and every little fucking sub-topic of overall vidya and you will have people coming in specifically to troll those boards and threads because they know there is a concentrated population that will fite me faget.

My sources are 9 years of 4chan and being a regular posting in over 30 /vg/ threads on top of /b/ and /v/ before captcha.

A more intense and larger moderation policy is the best answer since most people to arrive in the last 3 years don't even know what the fuck an IP address is or how to avoid bans.

I can't deny that threads only happen for translated manga, and that manga translations are much more uncertain than anime, but I don't think that means we shouldn't have it at all.

Why would you split up Japanese games and Western games into two different boards. That's beyond dumb considering the content of /v/ consisting of them both since forever. Could you imagine an E3 sticky with two different groups of retards splitting up discussion depending on the country of origin of the videogame?

Please don't split up /v/ into more boards. It's more trouble than it's worth especially when splitting up the board between western and japanese games is a way bigger split than something like vidya and say pokemon.

hey, considering pretty much everyone's gonna read this thread
I've posted in my fair share of e-celeb threads before and it's pretty clear this isn't the place to discuss them
why can't we just, like, have a giant skype group to talk about them all instead? it's pretty obvious that most of /v/ hates it when we talk about totalbiscuit or zoe quinn or literally anyone else
it's obviously a topic of conversation that people want to partake in, but 4chan isn't really the place because there aren't enough to justify an /ecl/ board

Can you do something about /r9k/ and /tv/'s endless shitposting crusade on /v/ along with its nonexistent moderation?
Literally two days ago there was a thread of a gangbang webm as the OP that got to like 300 posts.
There's way too many of these shitty "What is a videogame where I can [not vidya shit]" threads.
Plus all these shitty eceleb threads need to get dumped into the ground.
>>
>>322303
We already have:
/v/
/vg/

Clearly we need to split /v/ further into:
/av/ "adult videogames", for non-worksafe videogames, and porn.
/vw/ for western video games
/vjp/ for japanese video games
/vi/ for indie video games
/vk/ for korean video games
/vs/ for video games from eastern europe (slavs)
And
/trap/ for Steam Friends threads.

Hiro, the main issue is that MOST people on /v/ play both eastern and western games to some degree, and having a board for each would just be inconvenient. it's not like /ck/ and /fit/, for example, where an interest in healthy living may lead you to both, but the userbases as a whole are mostly distinct. For most people videogames = east and west, there's really too much of an overlap to justify the hassle of a split.

The hide thread option exists for a reason, people should use it if they only want to see a certain type of content.

Yes, they do. Do you not visit /v/ much? Anyway, the issue seems too many heads butting against eachother, a vj would probably shift from twitter drama to console wars and mocking content, i.e. weeb insults, especially with the nintendo sony rivalry here. I don't think you escape it with a vj.

A videogame culture board would be a perfect trash can for /v/ for people who want to talk about the industry and horseshit like tweets from random youtubers like TotalBiscuit and lpers like TBFP.

>What is the X or Y of videogames? What did he she/he mean by this? What are some games where i can X should be deleted and people banned

Yes, useless. It literally has no reason to exist aside from maybe once a year or 2 when a pokemon game comes out.

Really though if you want to fix /v/ you'll have to get rid of mobileposting entirely. ID's will help but only a tad bit that it probably won't even be worth the effort. Moderation needs to be heavy on the console war shit, and e-celeb threads needs to be ban on sight. Add in autoban (1 day) word filters.

Hiroyuki senpai,

Please do not listen to anyone requesting for new boards right now. Everyone is excited that you've already created /aco/ and /his/, and so they think they rightfully deserve their own board for their own niche interest. Splitting up more boards will not decrease shitposting, it will only create dead boards where there is next to nothing to discuss. And then shitposting will ensue anyway.

It's best you just sit back for a while and let everyone acclimate to having you as the admin and to the two new boards you've created. Do not under any circumstances create, split, merge or delete any boards for the next few months. No matter how desperate an Anon might sound, I promise you it is just the vocal minority.
>>
>>322651
Do you even browse /vp/?
>>
>>322303
Don't split the board. Give /v/ some non-retarded moderators, and keep the vidya content on /v/, and off-topic shit off. It's not that hard of a concept.

/v/ has already been split three times already, resulting in /vp/, /vg/ and /vr/. You could argue /jp/ as being part splintered off from /v/ as well.

Point being, this idea never works. /v/ is always going to be the second most trafficked board, and with that comes the second most shitposting.

We need proper moderation. There are too many biased moderators that actively silence discussion they don't agree with. We need to establish a clear set of rules so we know what constitues "board culture" and what should be treated as blatant shitposting, like JUST and HE threads, console war and journalism threads that devolve to SJW bashing and the like. We should be allowed to have certain off topic threads like unboxing threads and computer building/battlestation threads, which would be considered board culture. A lot of /v/ is currently flying off the handle and trying to say we need to split between western and japanese vidya, which wouldn't work. Please just help us with moderation.

/v/ was already split with /vp/, which got rid of Pokemon.

/v/ was split a third time with /vr/, which got rid of games made before 1999.
Every time /v/ is split, more discussion leaves.

1. No more e-celeb threads. These threads do not provide anything good. They are simply made so people can talk about a person, not a game. No one cares about what one person thinks. The closest thing to e-celeb threads should be if someone posts a video that actually is important to video games. For example, a video telling everyone that "x" game is broken beyond belief. Let's Play's, Walkthrough's, opinion pieces should be against the rules.

2. ID's. The only thing that can go against ID's is that people can pretend to be another person. Thing is that that is already a thing with the current system. ID's would make it so repeat shitposters have to put in extra work to shitpost or be found out easier. None of this negatively affects the average non-shitposter and we still keep anonymity.

3. Ban furfaggotry. Shit has been getting worse since mods stopped banning/deleting it. Threads drowned in Bowser and other furfaggot porn.

Splitting would not solve the problems in /v/. Could use better mods, too, but that's hard to do since rarely will you find someone that has actually been a part of 4chan for 5+ years and isn't a fucking retard.

/v/ is a lost cause because threads go from page 1 to page 10 in literally less than 15 minutes half the time.

You need to cut the board traffic to have any measurable effect on the quality of the board, otherwise all people do is bait and shitpost for eternity because it's the only way to keep a thread going and get replies.

Split all the culture and hardware discussion into it's own board and force people to actually talk about video games and their content with some more breathing room.

Give /v/ IDs.

Create /vsoc/ - a laid-back social environment in which gamers can discuss whatever they feel like which doesn't belong on /v/.

Create /onv/ - Online video game board which allows gamers to set up matches. Things like /v/eekend threads will go here as well as things like "Looking for sixteen players to play Halo with" or "Who wants to do a co-op campaign?"

You can't just ignore the problem and cast it aside as a blight on 4chan as it just continues to ramp up on it's never ending descent into an irredeemable garbage pile.

If you look at the actual problems of the board, they can be readily addressed by just splitting the topics of discussion available so that at the very least traffic is cut down to manageable levels, as the tertiary topics of /v/ have ballooned into gigantic avenues of discussion in their own right.

It's not fair to jam several huge topics into 1 board that will never EVER be able to cope with them as they only continue to grow in size.

Sooner or later it has to be addressed, and it's not fair to the people that actually want to discuss VIDEO GAMES on 4chan to be relegated to one of 2 cesspools that is /v/ and /vg/. It's not /that/ hard a problem to fix, but it's never going to be fixed if people think they can write off the largest board on 4chan to collapse under the weight of it's own topic.

/v/ doesn't have many garbage threads up right now, desu senpai.

What would keep people from just using both boards at the same time, baka? I haven't noticed a significant difference in speed since the /vg/ or /vr/ split, and I don't think there's enough content to warrant a hardware board that isn't already covered by /g/, /vr/, /vg/, or /v/. Culture is another matter entirely that I haven't thought much of, but it just sounds like shifting trash around. If the content isn't worth discussing on /v/, ignoring the current board state and standards, then it should just be outright banned.

Maybe there's a disconnect here. The way I see it, the lazy funposters don't make many posts, but there are many of them, so even if they make 2 stupid posts in a thread, if there's 50 of them, the threads more than sufficiently ruined. IDs won't let you spot them this way. If you think they will be tracked across multiple threads, then I doubt very many would do that allowing them to continue unabated. The filters aren't heavily used I think.

I think part of the problem is conflating discussion of industry trends or game design with "culture", because you inevitably delve into the "casuals are ruining games, by making devs dumb them down" waters, which sometimes doesn't look all that different.

no, they won't give a fuck. You will join the shitposter in a shitpost crusade marking his posts and saying
"SAMEFAG STOP REPLYING"

while the shitposter continues to shitpost, because he won't give a single fuck about your opinion.

Samefag is not even a problem.

/vg/ was a retarded split, is why. It didn't differentiate between 2 distinct topics of discussion, and instead segregated the userbase along incredibly vague lines to where you could change the wording or formatting of a /v/ or /vg/ thread and it would be basically the same thing.

You need to split boards based on very definitive and demonstrable topics, otherwise it's just pissing in the wind.

If you REMOVED topics from /v/ and made a separate board for it, then naturally traffic will follow. And while yes, people can use multiple boards at once, the /v/ split will at least cut out a lot of tertiary fat that's taken a life of it's own, giving /v/ more space for actual video games.

The only way to know how it would effect speed is to do it and see what happens.

/v/ moves too fast.

Someone either needs to remove bump limit on a thread or just leave discussion here, then propose various options to /v/ directly in a sticky where they can voice their support/butthurt, then base a decision on feedback and what you think will actually work.

>>322873
Mobile is fine for 4chan, the problem is people being able to ban evade like it's nothing. Make mobile users generate a unique key to post that can only be handed out once every 24hrs, so if they get that key banned they can't just switch IPs and keep going, or something, I don't into technology.

Making a whole board to contain a handful of threads with no uniting topic was retarded and everyone knows it.

If /vg/ was made for something more definitive like MMO/eSport discussion, then it would have been a good idea, but instead it's just /v2/ and a shithole for garbage that mods could have dealt with by cracking down on a few threads, namely Katawa Shoujo.

A culture board would be retarded because culture isn't something you can just filter out, it's something that's ingrained. To create a culture board would be a board for shitposting, because that's what you really refer to when you say "culture." Actual culture is the habits and mannerisms of a board, the trends and topics created within topics, and if you want real culture then you just need to remove the shitposting from /v/. Shitposting isn't culture, it's shit, and some of you guys don't seem to realize that. Redirecting people to /culture - v/ would be no different than redirecting people to /b/, and just allow new trash to bubble up in it's place.

This guy gets it. We already have a dedicated board for shitposting culture, it's called /s4s/

The thing about shitposting though is it's not fun unless someone's getting mad about it. A lot of /v/'s current 'culture' works the same way. So creating a board dedicated to said culture is self-defeating.

I don't think /v/ is in a state where merging offshoot boards back into it will solve any problems. /v/ needs to be split up first, then you can assess the need of keeping /vg/ or /vp/ alive.

I personally think /vg/ should be kept alive, but with rule changes so that you can't just post absolutely anything there, rather focusing the games on multi-player only, or some sort of MMO focus or something.

/vg/ isn't too much of a blight since it compiles some good stuff, so it's not really worth killing off as quickly as something like /vp/, desu.

"No"

The mods who frequent v/ are some of the worst mods on this website. They are the equivalent of old /b/ mods. They don't follow any structure or any rules. Instead, they constantly abuse global 3 for things they don't like, while a literal copypasta thread reaches 400 replies. They have turned the board into 4chans dumping ground for "memes" and other board content. Want to fix /v/? Have different mods frequent it and fire the entire new janitorial staff. Not a moment goes by that there isn't a deleted post in a /v/ thread lately and it's clearly just an abuse of power half the time.
>>
>>322961
Well, I'm not really looking to kill it. /vg/ would still function as it does it would just be on the same catalog as /v/. The thinking is that splintering off /vg/ has created a whole new little isolated world and there isn't much cross posting, so the games discussed and explored on /v/ have dropped to only the latest, thus the 20-30-40 threads a day schilling whatever is coming up (Fallout 4 lets say) rather than talking about games generally, which is what happens (fingers crossed) in /vg/. And the rest of /v/ is filled in with gaming industry current events, aka eceleb gossip and sjw boogeymen, instead of a game from say last year. They would compliment eachother providing /v/ type threads for new news, while ongoing discussion would happen in /vg/ type threads.

I don't think the stricter ruleset for /vg/ is bad idea. Really it's probably necessary regardless of what happens with /v/.

the /v/ userbase is simply too large to moderate, so what it needs is a mass culling
the current moderation staff is not adequate clearly, probably needs at least a couple of members replaced if we're going to get anything done

This is the most asinine, out-of-the-way solution to the problem /v/ has. Don't know what the best one is, but it ain't this. I don't go to /v/ for super serious discussion, I go to /v/ for the perspective of all the people who visit the board -- including the shitposters. The only people who find it impossible to have discussion on /v/ are the equivalent of people who hate their jobs and go into it every day a miserable sack of shit instead of trying to see things in another light.

Actually, here's a solution: Anyone bitching is free join NeoGAF, Reddit's gaming forum or GameFAQs

>>323052
/youtube/ or /media/ would be a literal cancerpot of vine trends, memes, etc. The same as /wsg/. Youtube isn't the problem with /v/ and anyone who thinks it is is blind as shit. The problem is /v/ having terrible janitors and rules.

People tend to have the same if not similar threads every now and then because, guess what, when a new videogame comes out people want to discuss it. /v/ has over 1million unique visitors per month and unlike /r9k/ it is one of the top used boards. You cannot turn the robot on for /v/ without crippling it.

It's not a "secret club" thing, it reduces the amount of unnecessary threads being made because people are too lazy to actually use Google. It surprisingly improves board quality.

Implement that and a rule that multiple threads based on the exact same discussions cannot be made and /v/ is drastically improved.

Don;t split /v/, /v/ has been split a few times before it doesn't help. Since the issue you're concerned with is east and west not getting along just start banning people with a east vs west mentality.

Better moderation, the moderation on /v/ is random and inconsistent at best.

Start deleting flamebait threads and banning repeat flamebaiters again. This is already a rule but mods don't enforce it, so now 9/10 threads made are flamebaiting.

No more e-celeb threads, like some others anons have said these threads are not about video games but are about one person. They also are rarely ever constructive. Most e-celeb threads are just excuses to gather together anons who hate a particular e-celeb and spend several hours all trolling and screaming about how much they hate that e-celeb.
At the very least ban discussion of Anita and Zoe Quinn.

Hire a mod to cover the several hours each night [spoiler]usually 2-4am US mountain time[/spoiler] /v/ has no mod coverage. All the mods appear to be asleep at that time and every single night chaos reigns.

Imo the off topic threads aren't so bad and provide a little variety on a board that quickly repeats threads over and over. They should be allowed so long as they're not openly hostile.

Make the Smash Bros fags move to /vg/ already. They've had at least 5 24/7 on going threads since Sm4sh 3ds was released a couple years ago.

Consider finding a better solution to bans for users with dynamic ips who can just reset their modem to get past a ban.
Make anons have to have a user id and or bring the robot filter to /v/ to help stop constant same thread same topic repeating.

We might need this because the replies and posters count still keeps it unknown and doesn't help identify samefags.

I mean shit, that catalog was made for them. No longer needing to noko and 4chan X to make 4chan more accessible and user friendly.

NEW IDEA
>>315360128

What if we have two "spoiler" options? One for actual spoilers, and one as a NSFW spoiler? That'd make /v/ a red AND blue board, pretty much.

>tfw /v/ is the first purple board
>>
Easiest way to fix /v/ is make a sonygger board. They constantly win the polls as worst fanbase on /v/, they never talk about actual games and everyone just hates them.
>>
>>323294
That's fucking stupid.

You do know the meaning of worksafe, right?
It's a videogame board, you can talk about titty games all you like aslong as you censor genitalia on the images.
>>
>>323302
That's the thing, threads get filled with porn crops and almost always derail the topic
>>
>>323306
So somehow, having the porn uncropped doesn't derail the conversation.

I got a solution for that too. banning them.

Censored genitalia, depending on the picture, may still be considered NSFW. Instead of having this grey-area, just allow you to slap a big NSFW on the picture before opening.

Pic related: Is this NSFW or not? The current rules say it's totally legit to post here.

>>323136
Just because it has been worse, it doesn't mean it can't be improved. Let's play/twitch/e-celeb threads should never be allowed, unless they're competitions like evo and so on. It attracts underage users and the wrong crowd and it rarely results in videogame discussion. Streams being against the rules is not enough.
>>
There's a heavy nintendo bias on /v/. For example every little nintendo announcement gets a sticky on /v/ while stuff like the sony press conference on the paris games show didn't get one.
>>
>>323129
/tv/ had its good times, mostly between 2010-2012. The e-celeb faggots from channel awesome killed the board with pure autism, but before that it was a fairly decent place to discuss TV shows and film. Some brave patrish anons are still trying to make film threads over there, but they get pruned and buried by all the shitposting.

/v/ is honestly terrible.
>>
>>323712
/v/'s greatest problem right now, is that its userbase has become the problem, and one of the worse things that can happen to a board (see /b/)

>How is that gonna fix Sony threads? How is that gonna fix the constant Fallout 4 shitposting? How is that gonna fix Undertale spam?
These kind of things wouldn't happen if it weren't for a "u mad le epic keks xDDD" userbase.
Undetale is an indie game that was good, nothing more nothing less, but people run it to the ground, playing both sides (pro UT and against UT) just to stir up shit.

Fallout 4 has problems that would warrant a lot of threads but shit has been blown out of proportion too for the same reason.

Hell, people are trying to do the same with fucking Nier 2. NIER, traditionally NICHE AS FUCK, treated like the flavor of the month epic meme xD garbage.


At this point /v/ is not about vidya anymore, and it's too late for redemption. Like /b/, it's a shell of its former self.
>>
>>323727
>/v/'s greatest problem right now, is that its userbase has become the problem,
I agree. So we must do something about it, something that affects the entire userbase.

>These kind of things wouldn't happen if it weren't for a "u mad le epic keks xDDD" userbase.
Fucking this.

>Hell, people are trying to do the same with fucking Nier 2. NIER, traditionally NICHE AS FUCK, treated like the flavor of the month epic meme xD garbage.
Absolutely this, that whole thing of "LOL MEME GAME" is absolutely disgusting and it should be stopped.

>At this point /v/ is not about vidya anymore, and it's too late for redemption. Like /b/, it's a shell of its former self.
Which is why I agree with OP for at least a trial week, /v/ should be purged as a whole, and start over with new rules.

It helped when /v/ was 50% pokemon threads, it helped when /v/ was full of generals. At least some percentage of people of /v/ got to talk about videogames. Not mentioning /vr/ because no one really asked for /vr/ but I am sure the /vr/ guys are happy they have a place to exist.

/v/ is too broad, its like /b/. It needs limitations to stop its growing userbase. What other solution can exist besides dividing, which has been proven it works?

Better moderation? Moot tried that for years, and we both know its impossible to moderate with a handful of janitors over a million guys that can ban evade or switch to phone posting. How would Hiro do "better moderation" ? "Hire" more janitors? What's stopping them for forcing their opinion on /v/, you know it already happens in those sony and nintendo threads. Plus they do it for fucking free, they are unreliable to be all the god damn time here.

Hell, if I was a janitor I would ignore most of the reports and just post on /v/, I would not be paid for moderating so why the fuck should I waste time doing it instead of talking about things I want to talk about.

I think I strawmanned my own post here and went way beyond the point, gonna stop now.
>>
>>323547
>containment board
This never fixes the problem and you know it. You'll contain them for a few months and then they'll spill out again. Just fucking outright ban the shit, it doesn't belong

You're right on the splitting part though, it'll only increase the amount of problems
>>
The real major problem right now is that Reddit's GamerGate subreddit, GamerGazi, has been purposely infiltrating 4chan for a while now. Those fuckers want to make this place their own personal clubhouse. /v/ is their HQ right now, and that's why I think Hiro needs to understand that it's best we fix /v/ on here. While we did get some great advice out, such as splitting and purging /v/, we have got to stop the faggots on Reddit. Also self moderation will not help at all, we have got to get either stricter moderation, or purge and split /v/ in general. Normally I am against a split, however now that we have proof Reddit is purposely shitting the site up, we really at this point have no other choice

Personally I would like to see Reddit filtered to 4chan.

That's the dumbest shit I have ever heard.

You people are not even able to determine what makes a JRPG and what doesn't, and you unironically want to go split video game discussion based on where games are made?
>Is it the type of game?
>NO!!!! It's clearly the place the game was made!

>Dark Souls is a JRPG because it was made in Japan
>No it's not it's clearly Western!!!

Do all JRPG's (talking about the genre, not the place games were made) that are made in the West get banned from both boards?

Do people who like Souls games have to go on the anime board because the shit they eat was manufactured in nippon?

It's fucking retarded

Your idea is terrible. Here's why;

We all know modern games are almost all bad. The people who would flock to, and encourage the idea of the theoretical /wv/ and /jv/ would almost certainly be the kinds of people currently kept in check by the vitriolic nature of /v/ in general. /wv/ and /jv/ or whatever you want to call them would very quickly end up as yet another /mlp/ or /lgbt/ or /s4s/ pustule of faggotry on the increasingly bloated corpse of this site. As a board, both would only end up a hugbox of morons who cling to where a game was made to decide its worth rather than current /v/ where dissent is common and encouraged, as it is what fuels most discussion.

In conclusion you're a tard of the highest caliber, crowned king of the windowlickers, and your idea befits your position on the spectrum.
>>
>>324600
>The people who would flock to, and encourage the idea of the theoretical /wv/ and /jv/ would almost certainly be the kinds of people currently kept in check by the vitriolic nature of /v/ in general
Argument 1.
> /wv/ and /jv/ or whatever you want to call them would very quickly end up as yet another /mlp/ or /lgbt/ or /s4s/ pustule of faggotry on the increasingly bloated corpse of this site.
Argument 2
>. As a board, both would only end up a hugbox of morons who cling to where a game was made to decide its worth rather than current /v/ where dissent is common and encouraged, as it is what fuels most discussion.
Argument 3
>In conclusion you're a tard of the highest caliber, crowned king of the windowlickers, and your idea befits your position on the spectrum.
Argument 4.
Three out of those four arguments are projections. The other argument was literally ad hominem.
Just with that I can safely ignore your entire post and called it trash. Instead though, as I am not the problem killing /v/ (like you are) I will attempt to take something of value out of your post. Here we go:
Argument 1 is a worthless projection with no basis. Again, Argument 2 is a worthless projection, there is nothing that would suggest any board would "become /mlp/ /s4s/ /lgbt/ " (I don't even think you know what the last board is for) Nothing, zero things that would suggest, its actually such an empty statement to make that I am blaffed you didn't just say "/v/ will become Reddit" in your post, please elaborate on this even though I am sure you won't be able to elaborate in how the fuck a videogames board is going to become a my little pony board, a bisexual board, and a meme board.

Argument 3 claims it would become a hugbox, which is absolutely incorrect. As the suggestion was to make it east & west, not PC&Consoles, West will have consoles, and east will have sony vs nintendo. So if you want console war shit, there it is. Inside the boards people are still going to fight.
>>
>>324621
>muh ad hominem
Yeah that conclusion was clearly a serious argument really directed at you, and not obviously a joke because you're pretty clearly a prissy little fuckwit. You got me, you sure are smart, anon.

With that out of the way let's get onto the real argument.

>muh projections
Yeah sure, whatever man. I don't know if you've ever been to /vg/ but what you're proposing is basically that on a larger scale. You want to separate eastern and western games for what reason exactly? Because occasionally a shitposting thread crops up comparing them? You can't legitimately think this is going to solve anything. Those threads will still show up. The only thing this proposed split is going to do is create hugboxes that will stifle discussion and really not fix a goddamn thing.

>I don't even think you know what the last board is for
Yeah of course I do. It's your home. HEYOOOOOOOOOO

seriously though

/mlp/ was created because people couldn't stop posting their ponyshit all over the place.
/s4s/ is basically a joke that turned into its own containment board. All it really did was nurture the culture of shitposting.
/lgbt/ from my admittedly few and far between visits has presented itself as tumblr-lite. The huggingest box ever to hug autistic children. I don't want my most browsed board to turn into two significantly worse boards. Your proposed split has signs of all of these boards. The /mlp/ comes out in westernfags getting triggered hard by anime. The /s4s/ influence is from the "east vs west" obvious joke/shitposting threads being used as a tool to split the board. /lgbt/ mainly because I thought you'd get triggered by it, but also because the only thing isolating these two boards is going to do is create a fucking hugbox.

"westurn gaem so much betr dan dat jap shiet hueehuehuehu" "muh grorious samurai waifu gaem betr than that kuso burgerlander trash fufufufufufu"

Mark my words. If you get your way, and this happens, this is the future you chose.
>>
>>324621
>>324652
continued because fuck you 2000 character limit

>console wars are dissent
I was just kidding before but are you legitimately mentally challenged? The idea isn't just that people fight, but that they disagree with each other as to what kinds of games are good. Console wars aren't good for anyone or anything. I don't know where along the line you've conflated dissent with shitposting but perhaps you should reconsider your stance on that one, because it's patently wrong.

All splitting the boards this way will do is give the users a sense of identity tied to the topic. It always does. It happens small-scale in /vg/, it happens large scale in some of the worst boards on this site. Hell, it's happened already in /v/. I don't think we'll ever agree on this point, but by golly I'll have my voice heard, darn tooting. Other inoffensive words so as not to trigger you. etc etc

All wrong though, as the division will create a second /v/ board, if a game you don't like comes out (like fallout) and you don't want to see shit about it anymore, you go to the other board. So you saying "those threads will still show up" is absolutely wrong as that's the point of the entire division, to let the people have another 50-100 threads videogames board to discuss videogames

Your hugbox boogeyman is retarded. If anything it will go back to the days when Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy fags insulted each other.

>Yeah of course I do. It's your home. HEYOOOOOOOOOO
Epic, anon. This is simply epic.
>/lgbt/ from my admittedly few and far between visits
I really like this part of your entire post.

>The /mlp/ comes out in westernfags getting triggered hard by anime.
/mlp/ worked though, so why not send those westernfucks there?

>The /s4s/ influence is from the "east vs west" obvious joke/shitposting threads being used as a tool to split the board
Those images, I have an entire folder of them. Pic related. And when the boards get made all these images would be a bannable offense in whatever board they are posted on.
> /lgbt/ mainly because I thought you'd get triggered by it
Funny guy

That quoted you get would get instantly banned, easy as shit. Plus those posts already exist on a daily bases on /v/

>Mark my words. If you get your way, and this happens, this is the future you chose.
No, we can make a trial board and then just delete western and eastern /v/ if it fails and we go back to regular shit filled /v/

>>324655
>I was just kidding before but are you legitimately mentally challenged?
I actually ran out of character space and had to summarize it with the shortest amount of words possible.


>The idea isn't just that people fight, but that they disagree with each other as to what kinds of games are good.
/v/ will never agree with anything, no matter where you send /v/

Do you actually think western /v/ will be able to agree on the best fallout game? Do you actually think eastern /v/ will agree between Persona and SMT? Or which final fantasy is the best one? Hell no nigga. /v/ is still going to be /v/, the threads, the OPs, will just be filtered in 2 different boards.

>All splitting the boards this way will do is give the users a sense of identity tied to the topic. It always does. It happens small-scale in /vg/, it happens large scale in some of the worst boards on this site. Hell, it's happened already in /v/. I don't think we'll ever agree on this point, but by golly I'll have my voice heard, darn tooting. Other inoffensive words so as not to trigger you. etc etc
Your voice is honestly [spoiler]shit[/spoiler] to be quite honest. But this was a fun debate to me. So if you have anything else to say and I am around I will make sure to prove you wrong again.

>This isn't /v/, we are not joking anymore. This is all serious business.
I'm always serious.

That's just so clearly not true Anon. There must always be a shitposter™© ®. More seriously you're still going to see the same threads with the same shitposts, they're just always going to be directed at the games you like. It's not going to get better for you in this case, just worse. Throwing the idea of "more moderation" at the problem never fixes it either, because if the moderators aren't completely in-line with the community they will fuck it up, and the community will lose their collective shit.

>Your hugbox boogeyman is retarded. If anything it will go back to the days when Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy fags insulted each other.
Yeah I wish. There's no way people will react well to being placed into what are essentially tribes. /wv/ is just going to be /jv/'s reddit bogeyman and vice versa. Dissent will be chalked up to filthy crossboarder scum and discarded. Kinda like with /a/, actually.

>>Yeah of course I do. It's your home. HEYOOOOOOOOOO

:^)

>/mlp/ worked though, so why not send those westernfucks there?
It worked as containment, but we never really got rid of the problem. We're nurturing it. We never got April Furs Day 2.0, and now we probably never will. Ponyfags never deserved a place here. They still post among us you know. We should've just nuked /co/ entirely and cut off the gangrenous limb while we still could.

Well, yeah. I would hope so, on some level. But you're not going to remove the sentiment from the community by censoring it though. You just drive it deeper and make sure it takes root.

>No, we can make a trial board and then just delete western and eastern /v/ if it fails and we go back to regular shit filled /v/
mite b cool but I seriously doubt it will garner a userbase that's not 90% /foolz/ from the archive sites based on software of the same name, AKA retarded ironic-weeb shitposting tripfags. Worth a shot maybe. All I'm really against is a hard split of the community, because there is no way it will go well.

>/v/ will never agree with anything, no matter where you send /v/
Yeah, so long as you send them together, sure. Separate them into these pockets and shit will get incestuous fast.

>Do you actually think western /v/ will be able to agree on the best fallout game? Do you actually think eastern /v/ will agree between Persona and SMT? Or which final fantasy is the best one? Hell no nigga.
Of course not. That's not what I'm talking about though. What I'm saying is that shit games are more likely to get a pass because they are on topic. At the moment we have people on /v/ who legitimately bought the last cawwadoody or dragon age cisquisition. My main worry is that these terrible games start to become more accepted despite their terrible quality, just because they're "western". I don't want to nurture yet another cancerous containment board. The relaxed standards would bring in retards who think they're in good company much like ironic shitposting did with shitposters and the cycle continues anew.
