Mods agree Dreamcast isn't retro. They usually delete them, like the old thread.

5th and a half gen Dreamcast getting purged by nazi mods.

>>3029339
Good, based mods keeping /v/ garbage off /vr/

>>3029340
What have you got against the Wonderswan, other than it being 6th gen?

>>3029339
>rules page say anything before 2000 is allowed
>rule page specifically says sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro

Dreamcast is 6th gen. It's not retro.

>>3029341
Nobody ever posts the wonderswan. The Dreamcast fags on the other hand post their cancerous console nonstop

>>3029342
Exactly, Dreamcast threads must be purged from /vr/

>>3029342
Mods need to update the sticky instead of confusing feeble minded anons like you and me.

>>3029345
If we're purging DC cancer we need to purge Wonderswan, Neo Geo Pocket and GBC cancer as well.

>>3029349
The sticky is irrelevant, only what is listed on the rules page matters and the rules page says no Dreamcast.

>>3029349
Neo Geo Pocket and GBC both are 5th gen

>>3029340
Gothic 1&2 thread is still up though.

>>3029351
The hell they are. They were released less than a month before the 6th gen Dreamcast therefore they are also 6th gen. You can't have it both ways. I bet you think GBA should be allowed as well?

GAME BOY COLOR IS 6TH GEN AND NOT RETRO
NEO GEO POCKET IS 6TH GEN AND NOT RETRO
DREAMCAST IS 6TH GEN AND NOT RETRO

REPORT, SAGE AND HIDE ALL SUCH THREADS

Why haven't mods deleted this rule breaking thread yet?

>>3029407
Because all the shitposting transformed it from a Dreamcast thread into a /vr/-meta thread. You know those "Should 6th gen be allowed" threads that stay up for weeks without getting deleted? Well this is now one of those. Well done.

http://strawpoll.me/6945575

mid 80's games were considered retro in the mid 90's, this is where the term first came to use.

meme'sters have appropriated the term and have decided to compress 25 years of dramatic technological progress into a few flagships and refuse to let anything else become part of their precious canon of oldworld-newworld

Dreamcast is banned on /vr/. Everything else is fine.

>>3029430
See: >>3029339

Otherwise explain how this generation thing is supposed to work.

>>3029435
See >>3029350

No matter how hard you try, Dreamcast is and always will be banned on /vr/.

>>3029441
>Dreamcast is 6th gen
>GBC, Neo Geo Pocket are 5th gen despite only coming out weeks before
>Wonderswan came out months later than DC and is also 5th gen

The rules page definitely says no 6th gen, but DC isn't 6th gen if those other consoles aren't either.

What other sites say doesn't mean shit. You or someone else can either explain how generations work and why those consoles are assigned the way they are, otherwise DC isn't 6th gen either and therefore allowed on /vr/.

>>3029456
>DC isn't 6th gen if those other consoles aren't either
Not how it works, petulant child. It's creator, the industry and gaming as a whole marks the Dreamcast as a 6th gen console, thus it is banned from /vr/. Your opinion is what doesn't mean shit here. You can continue to failed attempts to argue this irrefutable fact but at the end of the day, the Dreamcast will always be a 6th gen console.

You Segafags truly are a cancer on this board. It's time to purge all of you for good.

>>3029469
This, ban the Genesis, CD, 32x, Saturn, and especially the Dreamcast. It's all cancer. The Dreamcast doesn't belong here

>>3029469
>It's creator, the industry and gaming as a whole
>I can't prove shit so I'll make up people who agree with me

Looks like Dreamcast is now confirmed as 5th gen. Thanks anon.

>>3029473
Fuck off Dreamcast fag. I'm going to make sure the mods keep it off our board. Go back to /v/ fagtron

>>3029473
Good grief, this autistic delusion. Dreamcast is 6th gen. Everyone but you acknowledges this as fact.

>>3029476
>>3029480
All you have to do to get your way is logically explain how the generation assignments work and why DC would be irrefutably considered 6th.

"Because people say so" is all I've heard so far and that certainly doesn't cut it.

>>3029480
The Dreamcast must be banned because it's 6th gen.

>>3029481
Sorry, kid. The burden is on you to explain why a 6th gen console should be allowed here when 6th gen consoles are expressly banned.

Don't even attempt to bring release dates into this either, they're irrelevant. The hardware has been categorized into generations and the Dreamcast falls into a generation that isn't allowed here.

Remember that.

>>3029481
DREAMCAST ISN'T RETRO! FUCK OFF!

segafags are the cancer killing /vr/

>>3029487
>6th gen consoles shouldn't be allowed.

Absolutely. Good thing Dreamcast isn't a 6th gen console.

>hardware has been categorized

Fantastic, now we're getting somewhere. Now you just have to explain how this categorization works.

>>3029494
That's it, go cry to mommy that you got called out for not being able to explain why DC is 6th gen.

She knows it's not 6th gen either.

Sticky explicitly allows Dreamcast. Whenever you like it or not.

I only replied to each of your posts for easy reporting for violations of rules 3, 6. 7, and 8 by the actual users of this board.

GOOD THING DREAMCAST IS 5TH GEN.

>>3029524
Dreamcast is officially 6th gen. Your autistic shitfit will never change this.

>>3029526

Says who? No-one? Okay, 5th gen it is then.

>>3029524

DC is 5.5 gen. It shows putting consoles into "gens" is bullshit. As soon as some comapny does not keep up with the regular cycle the whole thing falls apart.

>>3029619
Yeah, the dreamcast is definitely 5.5 gen

>>3029310

Because it has Sturmwind. That's all it needs.
