>>379044996
Most online interactions are a "no fun allowed" zone now. The old internet is gone. All that is left is 4chan.

>>379045139
the actual game boards are full of retards
shitposting about redheads on CE is where its at

>>379044996
They've been always shitty, if not full of autism, full of mods power tripping, mod cock sucking, unintelligible babble and people actually discussing something like pokemon for hours a day and making fanfiction and other crap.

You just got used to the almost no limits zone on /v/.

The sign-up process selects for self-righteous cunts by not allowing the e-mail providers that most people use for unimportant shit like this.

Something Awful's tenbux does the same thing, but that at least was around early enough in the internet to have a period where it was good.

>>379044996
There never was a good videogame forum, there were always e-peen swaggering users and powertripping mods, this because new generations don't replace the old, they only get assimilated.

Remember pic related? This was posted on NeoGAF back in the days at every possible moment. Haven't seen it in years, possibly because it now warrants an insta-ban. How the mighty have fallen.

>>379045593
They have a fucking politics board that's somehow actually active.

t. buttblasted neofag

Console warriors/PC fags endless bullshit combined with both the right and left wing of politics getting more and more intolerant and irrational in general.

Everywhere online is turning into a cesspit, gaming just has more to argue about so is just more noticeably awful.

>>379047860
Not in the early years, once the site becomes bigger and the people in charge become older, then fun is everything banned.

Gamefaqs literally only exists these days for those autistic character tournaments.

>>379048965

I can't, it was an unlisted Youtube LP video and the fucker locked the comments section after I got called every SJW buzzword in existence.

General rule of thumb: if you think "Well, so-and-so's from SA and *he* doesn't seem so bad." YOU ARE WRONG.

Because you get banned for literally every single SOMEWHAT controversy opinion.

I was banned for three months because I held the opinion that homeless people shouldn't have dogs when there are people ready to take care of said dogs (which was the case).

id say that's a good place to start.

>>379044996

Everything is agenda based now so threads are basically like tabloid headlines. Neogaf is to the extreme.

Like you can have no idea what you're talking about or ignorant but if you push a hot button issue you're considered right and antone who disagrees with you gets banned. Like the whole female representation nonsense comes from people who'd struggle to name more than a handful of the games with female protagonists.

Higher education indoctrinates people, most of these drones move into game development or see it as the main way to influence normal men with their propaganda.

It's more useful to push propaganda into video games and movies (hi2u disney / marvel) to directly tackle "masculine men" and change them than to own every news outlet on the planet.

>>379051004
what did he mean by this?

Gamers were a mistake. Enjoying games together is no longer the objective. We should just let the industry die already.

sony flooded them with paid shills, same with journalists

People here legit defend loot boxes and season passes. They also claim games dont have to be playable on launch. This place is doomed. Gen Y is shit, but we remember the good times. gen z kids will be cucked to oblivion by mega corps.

Seriously, the lack of Free Speech made me leave Neogaf. I got banned 3 times for 2 months each time.
One time for accidently posting a "I'm charging mah lazor" meme, which is considered racist.
The two other times was about arguing with a Mod. If you argue with a mod, you are a banned man. They are right, you are wrong.

That's why I stopped going there.
