So this is the world we live in now.

>some people are young enough to have played gamecube when they were kids
FUCKING CASUALS
No, the /vr/ cutoff is not changing
one day Modern Warfare 2 will be a 'retro' game
That day I will run through the campaign once more and shoot myself
>>376075537
/vr/ is retarded anyway.
Games that came out the same year can be retro or not depending on what console it was on.
It's also more full of shitposting and contrarians than /v/ now, so they don't even have that anymore.
>>376075537
I can tell he's lying because anyone playing Eternal Darkness now would realize it sucks ass.
>>376075537
What's your point? Are you offended that you've gotten old?
>people are born later than myself and experience the world differently because of that
What the fuck why is this allowed
>>376075537
Yeah. It's called getting old you dense fuck. Those games ARE retro. You aren't a kid anymore. Animal Crossing and Halo are 16 years old. Eternal Darkness is 15 years old. Paper Mario is 17 years old. All those games are probably older than your sister.
>>376076694
Here's something for (you).
>>376075537
Eternal Darkness is boring as fuck. Why do people even remember this game, or regard it highly? I thought the gameplay was shit when I tried it.
>>376075537
>Eternal Darkness
Her friend is cool
>OG Halo, Eternal Darkness, Animal Crossing, Paper Mario.
Patrician taste.
Throw in Luigi's Mansion and Ikaruga to seal the deal.
>>376077298
>Halo is 16 years old
Retro or not, it's a good generation.
Stay butthurt faggots, you can't and won't turn /vr/ into a retro /v/. Stay mad.
>>376078336
It's the game to act like a pretentious nigger that you know HP. Lovecraft.
Anything that elevates you with pretentious knowledge is automatically a good game in most people's eyes. Just look at Beyond Good and Evil and most forums like gamefaqs or IGN and you'll see what I mean. "It's soo gooddd... I like it because I know Nietzsche books so I can tottalllyyy connect."
>>376075537
Obviously high school kids will consider games older than them to be retro.
My little sister was shocked when I told her I was alive in the year 2003. I've heard kids refer to the last century as the nineteen hundreds.

Why do you people think anyone cares about /vr/? Does anyone even post there anymore?
6th gen isnt retro. its where modern gaming started.
>>376080560
People still post there, it's pretty comfy. Less popular boards result in higher quality of posts.
Being old does not make something retro.
Otherwise you are those idiots who put cars from 1991 in the classics cars section of kijiji.

ANSWER MY FUCKING QUESTION U FUCKERS
>>376075537
It's been the world for quite some time now. Why do you think people started paying for 2D sprite-based indie games, and lauding them as great games?
>>376075537
Yeah he has good taste.
>>376075537
I liked this game so much until the quadroped boss in the cathedral, then I started hating it. Never did beat it.
>>376078336
The ways it fucked with you and created a new sense of horror is why I enjoyed it. It was very new at the time, with the "controller not connected" and "automatic reset" really fucking with you instead of the character. Plus the story was fun.
>>376082571
This really got me the first time but now that I'm seeing it again it doesn't look that bad. Maybe its just the surprise effect right after being confused as to what pressing the button just did.
>>376075537
yeah, those games are old, deal with it.
>>376082993
man that boss is sick. Anthony with the 2-handed sword is one of the best character and weapon combo in the game.
Your bitch ass didn't even get to play with the elephant gun. Shame.
>>376084865
Yeah, it's not bad if you know it's coming. But it gets everyone once.
