>>739948503>no proof
I remember all the threads about Dark souls 3 when the ringed city released
>>739948363post the full video
>>739948857There's nothing to "post" it was me setting up my shadowplay and I just happened to be recording when I open my browser then proceeded to play some UT4 :( only time I scrolled down is here
>>739948363>2017How is it possible? I've been told again and again that 4chan got permanently ruined by 2016 "tourists"!
>>739948363>>739949117Some of these threads are still I'm the catalogue today with the same picture and wording and everything. We really need to start culling schizos, when all the /pol/ shit started these people moved in and started aggressive astroturfing immediately. Who would want the board to look like this??
>>739949190slow-burn my obviously-offended friend
>>739948363THE FIRST THREAD IS LITERALLY A GACHA
>>739948363The first thread is a gacha thread dude
>>739948363>TWO Tharja threadsholy BASED
>>7399493474chan really didn't change much until the covid years, especially toward the end tail.
>>739948363>tharja threadah the, relatively, good ol days before Three Houses came out
i wish i could go back in time and browse the boards during their heyday.
>>739949627Hell seeing that small FFXIV thread this predates the tranny era when everyone trooned out during covid. I guess FFXIV wasn't that big yet
>>739949627fuck off normalfagAwakening ruined the series and you're still not welcome here no matter how much you spam in your shitty 3dsbabby threads
>>739948363>still a bunch of cumbrain threadsThe one two punch of fappening + r/the_donald shutting down did irreparable damage to this site
yeah because mods used to actually delete off topic porn threads, they sure dont anymore
>>739948363>Not a single Gacha gooner thread75% of what I see is still a gooner thread.
>>739948363>>739949117>BOTW shill thread >Switch shill threads>shotapedo spam >furry spam>New Vegas template threadLooks exactly like modern /v/
>>739948363Literally the very first thread in that image is a gacha thread
>>739948363Maybe OP was being sarcastic when he said there were no gacha gooner threads
>>739950128>BOTW shill threadit had just came and journalist were shilling it. also created Genshin Impact thus kicking out the gacha era of /v/ and we had no idea it was being made at the time and would come out 3 years later
>>739948363>barely any gameplay discussionYep, that's /v/
>>739948363This was post gamergate ban /v/. The soul was lost already.
>>739948363when you try and talk about games here today you have 20 jeets flooding the thread calling everything slopI believe they're trying to relate everything to slop so once everything is slop then nothing is slop and they think that's how their actual slop (AI) will be accepted
Some things change.Some things stay the same.
>>739949846fuck off tranny
>>739949470>>739949190Fucking election tourists and gamergators trying rewrite history again.Look at all those template threads:What was his endgame?Make it vidyaVideogames? With some porn actress pictureA frog thread/v/ was always shit but it still angers me how newfags find the degenerated discourse of a post smartphone /v/ as a golden age.
>>739948363>no hourly mentally derenged snoytroon threadsyep, good times.
>>739948363>only 1 frog and 1 wojak/v/ was not like that for a decade.
>>739949846>Awakening ruined the seriesstale take but I don't disagree, hence the "relatively." 3ds era was crap but I still prefer those threads and that time to the endless 3H discourse period that followed and is still ongoing, although this is admittedly probably just nostalgia talking.
>>739949751Wow14 fags were always mentally ill and faceblind. Fucking end yourself already you walking billboard.

>>739950474>when you try and talk about games here today you have 20 jeets flooding the thread calling everything slopI wish they would ban them all but then they wouldn't make any ad revenue
>>739948363ahh yes, back in the day when you could actually discuss a game without it devolving 2 posts in into>shill!!!>this game fucking sucks lol>yeah, but "x" game is way better>coomer thread or post #298746 posted just todayEven /vr/ is ruined now and that board was fairly based up until a few years ago. I fucking hate this website and wish I could leave.
>>739949190Are you retarded? Does OP's pic look good to you? Dumb tourist.
>>739949316Half of it is astroturfed and the other half is the result of no one being original
>>739948363Back then, /v/ played video games. /v/ does not play video games anymore.
>retards have been making the same exact threads for nearly a decade now (let's be honest, it's well over a decade)>video game discussion is discouraged>mods still not understanding the purpose of /vg/ and sending the wrong threads there while allowing the generals /vg/ was created specifically to get rid of to thrive hereNothing has changed, mods are still fucking up the same exact ways and the same schizos are still spamming up the board.
>>739951050>Even /vr/ is ruined now and that board was fairly based up until a few years ago.Funny tourist.
>>739948363zoomers are a disease.
>>739951273Nah I agree, /vr/ has somehow become the worst video game board now. I already knew it was over when ff8 threads stopped getting deleted, now it's like 2 schizos deciding what gets to be on the board and their taste is extremely boring and ignorant.
fat chiaki
As an oldfag this really is [SAD NEWS]. Anyway fuck y'all i[m goin'g back to the ZZZ general on vg
>>739951273I wouldn't say it was good even years ago, but the hack completely demolished what was left.
>>739948567>gachatrannyslopLiterally the very first post. Still better than what we have today.
>>739948363>botw thread>re4 threadsome things never change
>>739951545gacha games weren't even popular in 2017. they were all chibishit until genshin showed up so it makes sense why there's barely any threads. I think FateGO was out then right? And you don't even see a FateGo thread because I'm pretty sure FateGo was the biggest gacha game at that time right?
>>739950627Ban and kill all phoneposters. And then everyone after 2012 that didn't learn the board rules and give /l/ back after for proper gatekeeping>>739951016It's not ad revenue. It's engagement kpis
>>739948363Fire emblem heroes is gacha slop
>>739948363I'm so glad us culture warriors replaced some gay bing bing wahoo game threads with something more important, phew!
>>739952074>1 Gacha thread out of 42 threads>2 Gacha threads out of a total of 100 threads >4 Gacha threads out of a total of 200 threadsI want to go back D:
>>739948503No one knows what your made-up acronym means, schizo
>>739952454It's literally the same right now. The only thing that has changed is>multiple furry gooner generals every day, like literally threads of people just sharing pictures of horse's asses now, multiple of them>/fgg/ has been allowed back, which in turn has brought /afgg/ which has spilled all sorts of mental illness onto the board>the amount of rpg spam has like quintupledGacha is a diversion.
The world post-2016 was already quite shit, but I remember still having even a little hope things would get better. Never knew things would get this bad. Never thought I would be nostalgic for that period of time.
crazy how 2020 ruined everything
>>739955194*2016
>>739954974>Never thought I would be nostalgic for that period of time.same, things just keep getting worse.I remember even 2023 /v/ being a lot more usable than it is now.
>>739952790every time i see a bullshit long acronym with a + in it i just assume they are talking about faggots. i'm usually correct.
I seriously doubt any board has more than 200 active posters and half of them are just schizos that keep the same threads alive 24/7 (even on multiple boards).
>he says as he uses the bog standard windows video player that SUCKS ASS
>>739958386he should at least use vlc or better yet mpv
I remember how we all thought the board was shit beyond usability back then, we had no idea how bad it could get Even during the worst periods of 2012-2020 you could still have a really good thread reach bump limit at least once a week, now I think there have been a total of a dozen good threads reach bump limit in the last 5 years
>we are at the point where zoomers are nostalgic for post-election 4chanGrim state of affairs
>>739958546What's a recent good thread you remember anon?
>>739958386It plays videos, what more do you want?
>>739948363I'm not going to claim 2017 /v/ was good because it was still post 2015 so the gamergate and trump damage was done at that point, but I do miss being able to talk about Nintendo or Playstation without some pc vegan stepping in and going>ERM MY PC CAN PLAY THAT GAME BETTER WHY ARE YOU STILL USING A CONSOLE
>>739958661you NEVER use the OS defaults under any circumstance they are always poorly made garbage
>>739958601most people who use this site now were in elementary school when DT got elected the first time. 95% of the 2000s and early 2010s oldfags are long gone.
>>739958614vidya butts #18203 was a good one
because no matter what game you want to discuss there is always some autist with some insanely massive problem with it who will never shut up about it
>>739948363>2017>A 2b thread with her on-model ass which look almost flat compared to modern asses If that was a modern thread it would have been some offmodel shit with a nigger ass aimed at blacks and americansAmazing how fast americans turned brown
>avatarfags don't get banned>ERPers don't get banned or moved to /trash/>gacha generals don't get moved to /vg/ or /vmg/
