Why is /v/ so devoid of speculation and original idea discussions?

nobody here actual plays or likes video games, they're just the topic for people to bitch about

oh look, a videogame thread was kicked off of /v/ for a meta thread

>>377765696
You gonna name the thread?

Are mini games the only way to make open worlds interesting?

Is what I would make a thread about right now if I hadn't already made one. Can some anon make that for me?

>>377765856
What exactly do you consider a minigame?

Also you can make more than 1 thread at a time you know

>>377765589

the anonymous nature of 4chan itself is to blame. there are no consequences for shitposting, and people are rewarded for doing so with (You)s and entertainment.

so the people who actually want to discuss things seriously do that elsewhere where there's an environment more conducive to that sort of thing.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing, it just is what it is. so you either appreciate /v/ for what it is (as I do), or you move on.

>implying anybody on this board has original thoughts of any kind

>>377765967
Like Yakuza, Persona, San Andreas. I don't like making multiple threads at a time in a single board

>>377765589
>I think x looks like it might be interesting. Maybe if they do it like y so it doesn't fail immediately like z?
>FUCK OF SHILL!!!!
>/V/ DOESN'T PLAY VIDEO GAMES!!
>NOSTALGIA GOGGLES MUCH??
>YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT'S GOOD IT HASN'T BEEN RELEASED!!!
>o-okay but what about-
>NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

etc.

I just browse here for the occasional dragons dogma thread and to shitpost melee webms to make street fighter faggots sperg out. When new games come out or when anybody has any excitement for anything this board is completely unbearable and there isn't a single thing worth reading.

Anonymity plus tons of posters encourage that kind of behavior. But sometimes stars align just right and there is one or two interesting thread without lazy shitposters.

>speculation and original idea

Because people here have shitty ideas.

>bait thread, a consolewar thread, or some other cancerous shitposting thread or it'll die in 3 posts.
you need to stockpile more thread derail images, like rolling then
the OP never gets his way then

Watch this roll.

>>377767187
Basically this, Reddit is the far superior platform

underage memers.

Wasn't most of the shitposting from brazillians? I wasn't on /v/ much during the time we had flags here.

>>377767332
Let's do it

>>377767332
roll

Also this anon is right, rolling for monster waifus has drowned out so many shit threads
