forced negativity is killing 4chanhow do we fix it?
you cant strangle them over the internet, so you outpace it.
Suicide
people here often to try way too hard to automatically take the most negative stance on something possible and they have the nerve to call other people npcs
/v/ died the moment junji ito posting stoppedit's a zoomer problem that happens in real life too, it's "cringe culture" where taking an interest in anything is made fun of and it spread hereso either live or take a bath in the irony poisoned pool your call
>>721148571improve the industry and care about the gamer instead of the profit margin againoh whats that? that's never going to happen?well then get used to a lot of jaded fucks forever
BOTW is unironically pretty bad thoughIt was killed by the open world5 minutes of novelty does not make up for 40 minutes of aimlessly walkingI loved Dark Souls and Elden Ring was fucked up for the same reason, albeit not as egregiously as BOTWFinding a fucking Kurok/new sword (worse than the one you have) after extended periods of nothing would drive anyone insane
>>721148571Add some positivity wherever you can!If you like a game that others don't, try telling them what you enjoyed. People will respect your passion and you may encourage them to approach the game with a different perspective!Have a wonderful day!
>>721148571just be happy and frenly and nice ^-^
Short thread lifespan is killing /v/Threads die so fast you can't take the time to make proper responses and everyone just post what goes through their mind as fast as possible and it's very dumb.This is the fundamental issue from which all other issues derive.
>>721149195yeah video game threads have short lifespans because the mods keep deleting them to make more room for agp erp and xitter threads
>>721148910>improve the industry and care about the gamer instead of the profit margin againThe problem is that the developer who do that will eventually garner a hate campaign, look at the recent forced hatred for Nintendo and Silksong for instance. The latter in particular since people were actually complaining about it being too cheap.
>>721149326No the board is just too fast and the site wasn't designed with that speed in mind.Video game threads get archived first, not deleted.
>>721149163It's too hot to cuddle up under a blanketI'd roast...
>>721149430lollmao
>>721149195It's not that, the issue is the spam. When you have an organised cabal of people targeting specific developers and company they can drown out anything they want.Take the guy who spams "you lost and got raped, Eric" for instance. He specifically targets Nintendo threads just to push them off ASAP and because one of the peooke behind it is a mod his posts never get deleted.
>>721148571YOU GIVE THESE PEOPLE (YOU)S AND INSULT THEM EVEN HARDERFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>721149496Maybe if you actually clicked and tried to reply to video game threads you would realize>>721149430Spam sure doesn't help with the speed of the board
>>721148571Make a geocities like a normal person.
>>721148571Can't you express yourself cocksucker? You have a problem with uncritical stupidity so it's not about being nice or mean. I dread threads full of "uh i luv you bro i luv this game so much i cry liek a bitch fuck haters best game evar bro " those are not worth anyone's read.Sage. Self reported.
>>721149371>Nintendo>improving the industry>hatred is forcedlollmao even
btw botw and totk on the switch 2 are amazing
>>721148571botw is dogshit
>>721148571>they are miserable>I am happy>no one can stop me from happy postingI literally don't see a single problem
>>721149940It's not like the industry has been following Nintendo's lead (aside from everyone making shitty tablet consoles).If they followed Nintendo's lead every AAA dev would stop adding gay sex to their games.
>>721149195Threads have a longer lifespan than than ever and it didn't help the board one bit. The problem is /v/ has become a dedicated dramafag board, schizos, politics obsessed faggots and twitter tourists just come her to sperg out. There is really no fixing that because those faggots have essentially become the primary userbase of /v/ and the mods are never going to anything about it because that would drive down 4chans dying traffic even harder.
>>721148571anger drives engagement more than any other emotion4chan is a victim of this truth as much as any other social media
>>721150825industry ghouls were eagerly awaiting nintendo raising the cost of their games so that they could all jump onto the same train.that kind of power is only reserved for a few like rockstar.and yeah fuck nintendo for making everything so expensive now.
faggots who cannot handle any sort of criticism are by far the most obnoxious faggots online and they are trying to weasel their way into /v/ too.fanboy shitposters are actually the biggest blight and they hide behind le positivity which is just a smokescreen to give them carte blanche to act like absolute animals.
>>721148571I disagree, the game industry deserves more negativity.We need to get more negative.
>>721150563Emotions aren't an argument.
>>721148571The problem in that picture is effortposting being met with dumb dismissal and that can't be fixed. This board is too low quality to be saved. Use the catalog and be smart about what threads you enter or give any attention to.
>>721148774The internet as a whole is doing that, 4chan has always been the sesspool of other websites.People are so quick to go to threats of violence or wishing people die, it's also a mentality that's bleeding into the real world as well.
I've filtered "why do" and "why are". I'm that fucking close to filter "why". Tired of OP's bullshit questions.
>>721152347Why
>>721148885>ito posting stoppedholy shit
>>721152680Because.
I agree that forced negativity is a proble->Look at image>It's an anon defending open world slopNevermind lolYou don't get enough negativity
>>721151561>and yeah fuck nintendo for making everything so expensive now.Nintendo at least has an actual excuse since they're using a new and more expensive format.Blurays are dirt cheap there's no reason why any game on ps and Xbox should be more than 50 especially with the amount of dlc and mtx.
>>721153468that argument would hold up if the digital versions would be cheaper to make up for that fact.but they arent.and now they do this new gamecart jewery.
>>721151561>nintendo for making everything so expensive now.Economic recession and tariffs are Nintendo's fault?
>>721153904>digital versions would be cheaper to make up for that fact.No game company would ever do that and risk the physical not getting stocked by physical retail stores.
is it even possible for people like this to change or is their suicide pretty much inevtiable?
>>721153904>that argument would hold up if the digital versions would be cheaper to make up for that fact.>but they arentOf course they aren't, retailers would immediately get on their ass for undercutting so you need parity.You don't think these things through, do you.
>>721148571>how do we fix it?Hope really hard?
>>721154190kys
>>721154642what a convenient excuse.
>>721149517Nintendo fans are just as egregious and shit up other threads constantly. Stop bitching.
>>721148571Kek funny since you Zeldafags are the ones constantly downplaying and doomposting other games
>>721148910I genuinely hope you kill yourself, you miserable fuck.
>>721156068hey where's that positive in your post :^)?
>>721149371>nintendo>improve the industry and care about the gamer instead of the profit margin
>>721155737Anon it's not an excuse, it's what would actually happen.
>>721151620>third world case AND a tranny filename
>>721156013Fucking this. They're so bad that I avoid metacritic screenshots altogether now. Nintendo and Zelda fans have zero room to complain about people finally interrupting their circlejerks.
>>721149517That spammer is a nintendie and he is also the one spamming those anti botw threadBig part of older tendies mid life crisis is that they feel wrong if they don't see their god company getting threads here so they force either coomer shit or controversy
>>721148571Just start being ironically optimistic and eventually 4chan will be overrun with optimists who believe they're in good company they will be
>>721148571>so obsessesed with a hate reply he had to make a whole thread about itHe's right. Botw fags need to be gassed.
>>721156013Never forget of the zeldaschizo was found the one shitposting Stellar blade threads kek
>>721156223You are mentally ill
>>721148571Terminal irony poisoning made zoomers incapable of sincerity, they can't just say they like something unless that thing is making fun of itself like capeshit movies
>>721156223>>721156248>>721156325No subtlety at all.Any time someone threatens the idea that tendies aren't the ones shitposting constantly you just swoop in and spam the thread.What next, you're going to pretend to be a tendie again and scream about Eric?
>>721156068you'll understand some day, faggotif that's even possible considering the state of modern games todaythe thought that you might be sitting there wistfully crying about the good old days of fortnite, returnal and nigbop assassins creed 20 years from now makes my skin crawl
>>721157202Just look at how defensive you're getting. No other fanbase on this board does this. Kill all console-warriors. Including (you). I'm glad your circlejerk got shitposted.
>>721156141>newnigger unaware of 4chanxmany such cases
>>721148571trvke, we need to be better 4channarians and learn from our betters over at Reddit (owned by Ghislaine Maxwell, her account is u/MaxwellHill)
>>721148885>v died because le zoomersholy hot take. no you idiot.
>>721148571>bitch can't handle dissentfuck you faggot
>>721148571Always has been that way, always will be.rember YOu're Here foregever
>>721157358>Just look at how defensive you're gettingWhat part of that was even defensive to you?Not to mention you're the one who came in here to defend your narrative looking like a lunatic calling people Nintendo fans and console warriors at random.
>>721156136yeah man Im looking forward to nintendo lowering their digital costs the day physical games stop being made Im sure thats exactly what will happen.
ubislop zelda will never be good no matter how hard you cry.
>>721157716Thing is back in 2010, it wasn't as vitriolic. You had one guy once in a blue moon calling you a faggot for liking a game he didn't and he would be laughed out of the thread and everything would go back to normal nowadays you have people like this >>721157358Who sees everyone who isn't him as a mortal enemy, making it his life goal to take them down with every fibre of his being. How he feels isn't a joke or an attempt to troll, he's the idea of the Internet hate machine the media thought we were personified.
I honestly hate when people are happy so I try to make everyone miserable
>>721158070back in 2010 games werent as terrible as they are now.
>>721158070Again, always had those.Just be glad they're not goreposting.Theres like 2-3 fags left that do that the moment people point em out.
>>721158070I've posted twice in this thread. You just need an opponent. There are no good fanbases surrounding major video game corporations and I'm not going to praise yours because someone hurt your feelings. Grow up.
>>721158070the irony of this post when you showed up in this thread ready with your fanboy drone defense images already lmao
>/v/ is over because people dont like my lazy empty meme world zelda spinoffok
>>721148571Hipsters and irony killed the Internet.
>>721148997this. also i think certain games draw more positivity for some reason. the tomb raider remaster threads were comfy
>>721158193>Again, always had those.No, no we didn't in fact your screenshot confirms that, we can't have fun like that here anymore.Also notice >>721158198>>721158228There's already "people" trying to defend their stance even making up imaginary images no one has posted.The 4chan now isn't the same 4chan as back then.
>>721158381I mean, they're probably AI marketers.We know that there are people using bots here to measure hatred but that also requires someone to be the hater on a regular basis.
>>72115432320 year olds are children ofc they change
Remember anons to please:Bpositive
>>721158381Anon, I cant show or even reference the actual shit that happens in those threads, that desu was a rarity.When people wanted to be evil back then they did some really fucked up shit with pngs
>>721158360It's because of the absence of metacritic posting and other corpo wankery that people like >>721158381 defend. Niche threads (unfortunately classic TR is niche now) in general are so much better because they're slower. Things like drpgs, city builders, small quality indies, shmups, and things that aren't pushed by corpo salesfaggotry and "muh vga goty" are still great because people who genuinely enjoy these games and aren't just present because it's popular discourse at the moment.
>>721148571>how do we fix it?require some proof of playing gamesWhen someone tries to pull out some shitty fucking retarded "argument" about a game he clearly havent played I ask for a picture with timestamp and the nigger either leaves or doubles down on the vitriol while not providing any proof he ever even played that gamethese niggers suck
There is nothing wrong with this place, just use that superior brain you claim to have and filter out the threads/posts that aren't worth engaging with.
I'd say the forced positivity droning from subhumans is the actual biggest issue.
>>721158541>that desu was a rarityIt wasn't, that's the thing. Combos were everywhere and made from everything, the one good thing about know your meme is that preserved a hell of a lot of them. and the screenshot you posted now just proves this >>721158070>You had one guy once in a blue moon calling you a faggot for liking a game he didn't and he would be laughed out of the thread and everything would go back to normal>When people wanted to be evil back then they did some really fucked up shit with pngsAnon, embedded pngs are recent back then at most you'd get ones that change when you open it and they for the most part were harmless. I still have one on my PC from the Pacha craze
Le pretend oldfag
>>721158676How the fuck is 4chan a company? What do you think that anon is even talking about?
>>721159135Misery loves company.
>>721159440Nah it's just that the fanboy threads are by far the shittiest and most unhinged here.Bogeymen accusations, tons of schizo paranoia, tendency to start shit with everybody, never actual game discussion despite the pretense of muh positivity.The worst posters on /v/ are like op.
By now it's not even forced negativity, but pretend negativity. People just shit on everything because they think it's cool or funny, or just to get a silver of social interaction they can't or don't want to get somewhere else. It's a neverending charade with same actors appearing every time in different role, like a sketch show in real life. Nobody here means what they say, they only act the part of the show.
>>721148571if you dont like it here then leave
This is just another veiled defense of the /v/intendogaf culture that dominates this board, isn't it?
>>721160027"""""veiled"""""
>>721160027It's pathetic Nintendo is getting trounced after pulling some shit most don't agree with and faggots here act like it's a conspiracy.Worst is that they say it's ill will when most just want them to do better.
>>721160027>being pozitive is a nintendo fan trait
>>721159821Anon, we don't have fanboy threads outside of one's like those Astrobot shill threads a while back. If that's how you perceive the site then you're the one causing the problem.
>>721148571>how do we fix it?When they force age verification world wide
>>721160234I wouldn't even call it positivity because we rub it in people's faces when the facts don't agree with them calling them every slur under the sun because that's all that really matters when you're anonymous.The problem is when you get people like this >>721160221Who have a personal and irrational vendetta.
>>721148571The horse counts, everything else is just rupies and more rupies.
>>721160309Yeah man the Zelda, final fantasy+14, monster hunter threads totally aren't a thing and haven't been ruined by the mentally ill like you.Dog shit gaslighting attempt. Kys.
>>721160531Horse doesn't count because it's useless and pointless
>>721160640It gets you from A to B and I think it has really good stats. Better than Rupies which I can use to buy weapons that break after 5 hits.
>>721160702Buying arrows is arguably more valuable but the rewards are disappointing regardless.
>>721148571>is killingnewfags have been behaving outwardly hostile and vitriolic for no reason for at least 15 years
>>721160465>metacritic scores and salesfaggotry are "the facts" when pointing out design flaws, anti-consumer practices, and other issues that would get other games shitposted into the groundStop acting like genuine arguments are had on /v/.
>>721160845don't forget steam charts!
>>721148571>forced negativityYou misspelled "thin-skinned little bitches whose opinion, self-esteem and enjoyment of [thing] is dependant on others, majority and commitee". Niggercattle.
the tranny stench in here is unbearable. Just go the fuck back to r*ddit.
>>721160845>>metacritic scores and salesfaggotry are "the facts" The only people who post metacritic scores are people with that vendetta, notice how people are using sonic crossworlds to shit on Mario Kart for instance. Sales rarely happen too, usually it's only famitsu twice a week and the quarterly every three months with the rare instance of a record breaking launch. As for this>pointing out design flaws, anti-consumer practices, and other issues that would get other games shitposted into the groundHalf of you don't even know what anti-consumer even means and it's been like that for years. It's gotten to the point where a company you don't like doing anything is considered anti-consumer.Design flaws of a game rarely come up as well, it's just bitching and moaning about inconsequential nonsense like graphics or in the case of Silksong being too cheap which is utterly absurd.
>>721148571you fix it by not giving a shit and having your own fun
>>721160465>Unironically admitting to being a bottom of the barrel number posterAs said.Worst posters on /v/ is Le positivity crowd. Nothing comes close.
>>721161392holy newfag nigger contributing to the decline of 4chan
>>721161580Did you reply to the wrong post or something?
>>721148571There's no forced negativity about thinking botw sucked and killed zelda. That's just having standards and recognizing the obvious.The real fags are the ones who act like everything is positive and justified no matter what, often with an air of smug condescension for laving their tongues all over corporate boots.
>>721155716Not an argument
>>721161707>That's just having standards and recognizing the obvious.What standards? Half of you can't even say anything about your favorite game.
>>721148571How mentally ill do you need to be to make a thread about a post from a thread that's still up?
>>721148774especially liberals
>>721148571>NOOOOO STOP COMPLAINING>you need to buy new thing! buy new thing it's only 80 dollars, it doesn't matter if the director hates you disgusting chud gamers, buy new thing or my stock value will go down!!!
>>721152163i feel like a huge portion of the population could die and it would only bring positivesespecially all the rich elitenot saying someone should do it just that it would be a good thing
>>721161776You want every poster to say something good about their favorite game in every post they make just to prove they can? How about no, psycho.
>>721158360i noticed niche/old threads tend to be more comfy tooit might be marketers but i think its more likely to be underage phone shitters/touriststhere's no way nintendo needs to pay people to market, it's way more likely it's the cause of underdeveloped autism faggotsthere's probably more chris chans out there than we realise
>>721162202>You want every poster to say something good about their favorite game in every post they make just to prove they can?Anon, the point isn't to be positive or negative it's to as anything. To make any kind of objective analysis about your favorite game to show that you know what it means to have actual standards.
>>721162252>there's no way nintendo needs to pay people to marketWith the amount of nonsense hatred they get maybe they should start. They don't even have anyone defending them.
>>721148571Third worlders and shill marketers are what is killing us. Most of the thread schizos tend to be third worlders in my experience
It's ok to admit that games are bad now.Yes, even Nintendo.
>>721148571Trannies tried hard to kill the new Skate. But they failed. Gameplay > anything else.
nintendo deserves criticism. but neither /v/ nor the rest of the internet knows when to draw the line or cares[\spoiler]
>>721162252"it's marketers" is just another form of forced negativity
>>721149195this board needs like a 1000 bump limit for every thread
>enter thread>E*** very obviously freaking out and trying to well poisonDunno what I expected
>>721162453So in order to create an objective analysis about a game you dislike you first have to make an objective analysis about a game you like? How about no, shithead.
>>721148571Why make a new thread? You could have just responded to the post you gosh-darned scallywag
>>721162903Anon, he's not saying it's required he's saying you're so inept at looking at something objectively that you couldn't even do it for something you love let alone something you hate.
Thread IDs
>>721162960Because then he wouldn't be able to bitch about his imaginary tendies without people making fun of him.
>>721163097Mods are against that because it would kill the anti-Nintendo posting and they're the only ones who buy 4chan passes.
>>721148571Probably can't / won't. But I've thought for a while the ability to mute/ban users by IP would go a LONG way. Also making this place more pseudo anonymous in general - i.e. maybe even registered user profiles.4chan is runs on a core bad egg element that thrives on the fact that this site is a captive audience for their mental illness, autistic ramblings, and general antisocial mentalities. The fact everyone is equal means one schizo can brute force spam and you have to read their actual posts before you notice it's some nut case with nothing of worth to say. I suspect a lot of these people have been banned from the more "civil" social media and this is their last watering hole because there are no standards or barrier for entry. You can't really fix this rotten sitewide culture issue (and really it's also a result of the entire Internet changing), but if you could deny these shitheads of the fuel of forced attention and engagement they crave it could probably heal a lot.
>>721163097newfag
This board actually seems to be in an alright state at the moment The period from around 2017-2023 this board was kinda terrible
>>721163239>maybe even registered user profilesI take it all back. This is the newfaggiest post in the entire thread. This may be the newfaggiest post on the entire board at the present moment.
>>721148571>forced negativityThis is an inversion of reality, the emotionally driven defense of mediocrity that plagues the internet has infested this place, now everyone acts like you kicked their puppy if you don't suck off trash games.
>>721163052The guy is looking at one post critiquing a game and assuming the poster isn't capable of objective thought, that's insane. I'm offering a series of solutions to his insane assumptions in an attempt to make him realize what a fucking moron he is. What you didn't pick up on any of that smartass?
>>721163398>now everyone acts like you kicked their puppy if you don't suck off trash games.If that were the case then why does liking a game garner a stronger response than someone hating a game?After all, all of the organized raids just so happen to be on games that people like, Mario, Elden Ring, Silksong. You never get the opposite with defence forces coming out of the woodwork. Unless it's a sony game of course
>>721163097Would be nice for a day maybe before the people who are already changing IPs to spam threads every day adapt to changing them for every post as well.
>>721163594>Unless it's a sony game of courseAll those threads about the PS4 era God of War games prove you wrong and have only been funny ONCE.
>>721163734It will make their usual strategies wildly inconvenient and many of them will be forced to stop their autistic behaviour
>>721163594>if thats the case then why does the exact thing you claim is happening happen?
>>721154642>won't somebody think of the poor publishers!>omits wack-ass retailer-specific pre-order bonuses during the era when digital overtook physicali sure do love how all these holistic approaches to game industry analysis inevitably end up not in customer's favornintendo has the undying fanaticism to prop it up, but every other gigajew publisher are likely gonna find out their 80$ + tax + tip game is not gta then again i don't know how much piracy is there in burgerland
>>721163174>everyone who doesn't share my opinion is a shill/troll/snoy
>>721163817If a slight inconvenience is enough to stop their autism then they're probably not that bad in the first place.
>>721163817lol
>>721148571>forced negativity is killing 4chan>how do we fix it?it's simple; we can't, because most guys here have been priced out of gaming and all they can do is whine. pc hardware is more expensive then ever and piracy on consoles is worse then ever. sorry but it's true, anons can't be part of the conversation so they just troll.
>>721163909>slight>being forced to clear their cookies and change IP for every single bloody postonly ACK tier autists will survive it
reminder
>>721163984Don't forget there's also a 15 minute wait timer for new IPs to post so they'd be wholly incapable of flooding a thread with their own opinion unless they set up a bunch of IPs beforehand
Literally nobody here defended the journoloid saying silk song is too cheap.Op is mentally ill.
>>721158541"Fun is a buzzword" retard got laughed out of the thread he was in it. I was there too. Today you have faggots that wholeheartedly believe it and take it seriously too and will argue to death to defend that stance.
>>721160572>FFXIV threads>anything but relentless shitting on the gameConfirmed to actually be a dedicated shitposter that brings down the quality of the website. You should be the one that kills yourself. And you will respond to this post because I am correct. Don't forget to post your basedak too.
>>721148571I can't even say I fucking like Silksong because of FUCKING FAGGOTS WHINING NONSTOP ABOUT IT BEING TOO HARD
>>721148571/a/ has this issue too. There are bands of normalfags who only watch isekai, manime, and other shit yet have the audacity to complain about perceived censorship or decline. Really, there are still plenty of otaku works of high quality at about the same rate. But these people will also call everyone of them shit just so they can continue complaining. Really, they are again, normalfags, who watch mainstream shit that has never been good yet want to still complain like they are one of the regulars or something. For this all, I blame griftubers who are always dooming. They pretty much convince retards that acting negative is part of the hobby. Being "le esoteric nerd" has also become idealized so all of these people with generic tastes will pretend to be them and invade places like 4chan. These people are negative all the time because they are looking for something (in this case sexuality) in the wrong place (shows made for the Chinese and children).tldr: normalfags
>>721161776I talk about Majora's Mask, Sekiro and Black Souls 2 all time. And you're free to shit on those games and think they suck. That's fine. I'll argue against you, but I won't say you shouldn't be able to say it or try to shut down conversations over it.You can think someone just shitting on a game with nothing constructive is terrible, but I think sucking something terrible's dick is far worse. Forced positivity is far worse than criticism. Criticism can actually be learned from.
>>721154323Your 20s is to cringe at your own retardation and fix what you can fix
>>721148571Back in the day, browsing the internet needed some level of intelligence and tech skill. It was an IQ test in a sense. Now every dumb nigger can join the internet. Democracy and freedom of speech only works when the majority has participants have above average intelligence.Also /v/ is a mirror of the quality of video games in general. There are currently more games released than ever, yet most of them give you brain cancer if you poses said above average intelligence. Trully a grim reality. Imagine going to an ice cream stand only to notice that all the ice cream is made out of shit and realize you are in India.One can only pray for a nuclear holocaust at this point because I don't see a happy ending on the horizon for this species.
>>721148571Fuck you and your wannabe forced positivity, quit trying to push it on everyone else.
>>721148571Kys tendie, you are the ones spreading malice in plenty of different threads
>>721152347Most threads that start with a question are bait this isn't really unique to the board
The new Zeldas are extremely repetitive for games where developers boast about having created systems that interact naturally with each other.The strength of these games is that the combination of interactions is basically infinite, so players are always finding new things that, with imagination, they contextualize and generate a narrative. That's why games like Dwarf Fortress, for example, keep players hooked for hundreds of hours.The Zeldas don't have this capability. The elements interact with each other, but the consequences are never relevant and the player is never creating a story in their head. They just feel like they're in the worst amusement park in the world, where nothing that happens is really exciting.
>>721148571To be honest botw was really boring and it is frustrating to see people just brazenly spam little kid games all day without actually even wanting to discuss them
>>721164875Just say you like it and move on, who fucking cares?
>>721148571>forced negativity is killing 4chanweird way to say unmedicated and unrestrained mental disorders but sure
>>721149195It feels like threads are being spammed just to meet a quota. And not only on /v/. There's barely a point to writing a real response because every thread will just be shortly slid off the board by dozen pointless spam threads regardless of time of day
>>721163097The IP count alone worked wonders, it got really bad once we lost that.
>>721161714wrong.
many were disappointed by nintendo chasing trends and turning zelda into yet another lame empty open world game.trying to label everybody who believes that as a hater makes you less than human.many good series got ruined recently trying to reach wider audiences. zelda, monster hunter, street fighter. you should empathize with old fans, not go against them like that.
>>721149195That's because every fucking thread has some dedicated schizo trying to make everyone miserable and people end up leavingIt's not even about being le positive like reddit, but people can't even talk about games without some retarded sperging for hours in that thread
>>721166797it really didnt work for shit.
>>721163239kill yourself
>>721167083Please be nice to newfags. They are literally retarded and cannot conceptualize 4chan existing before they personally learned about the website. The quality of the website would improve if there were more convenient newfag containment threads, like this.
>>721164868FF14 threads always had and still have the most rabid defenders on this site, and its not even close.
>>721167171>Please be nice to newfags. no
>>721167083>T.retard who probably got caught samefagging because of them
>>721148571>ONLY POSITIVE VIBES ON THIS SUB REDDIT!! WE MUST BE BETTER MEN!!
>>721167171Said the newfag.
>>721167552yeah you are absolutely one of the morons who shat his diaper because he didnt understand how the counter worked, making gay posts about how x unique ids in a thread meant its all just one samefag.only the most low iq posters obsessed over this and removing that was one of the best ideas because literally nothing positive came from it. it was just lame derailing material.
>>721167694We get it, you samefag.
>>721167773keep seething about an objective improvement, you subhuman shitposter
>>721164073thank you nagito
>>721167831Keep samefagging because no one would ever agree with you, nigger.
>>721148571It sucks but the real problem is schizos who shit up every thread about somethingLike seriously, what the fuck is the shit in >>721156325Why is this crap what happens when you try to discuss stellar balde on /v/? why cant we just talk about the damn game without these lunatics ruining it? and why does every single game have someone like this? Games with attractive girl characters tend to attract the worst posts lmao but really anything can and will have a retard like this
>>721167171unironically thisif they don't learn the culture they will never follow it
>>721162838its actually ludo negativity
>>721165000that's still better than being a censorship shill and a normalfagNo one, nerd or otaku, ever thought you needed to censor anime for children for having someone with boobs or even Mortal Kombat
>>721157596to a degree yes, in addition to the brown hordes.they looked @ something genuine and tried to emulate it (90s-early 2000s internet culture)However they don't really understand it, which is evident from their shallow imitation. Not to mention their view is filtered through the opinions of social media which are themselves the antithesis of the culture that they are trying to imitate.Its essentially the same shift that occurs from the Golden age of a civilization to the Silver. We still have a group of people going through the motions but all virility and life is gone.
>>721169092It's surreal looking at the current state of 4chan, as someone who was here almost at its inception. It's not even a caricature of its former self. It's almost a complete inversion. Utterly unrecognisable.
le pretend oldfag
>>721169262i've been here since 2005 and i don't really know why i continue to visit. and it reflects the rest of the web. as far as human interaction, there's nothing of value on the web anymore.
>>721148571We have to turn it into reddit it's the only way. People shouldn't be allowed to say anything I don't like.
/v/ has been a shit board since joot took our doubles way which was before 99% of current /v/eddit even knew what 4chan was before their favorite jewtuber told them 4chan was actually safe and a tranny faggot safe space actually. now /v/ is nothing more than glorifie booru where failed artists shill their smut to mentally retarded underage coomers
>>721169479reddit is also full of forced negativity. if reddit concensus is that $GAME is bad, then you're going to get flooded with snark and insults for discussing it. same as /v/.
>>721158541>Fun is just a buzzword when you can't actually think of any real reasons as to why the game is goodThis is 100% correct, when a rancid dogshit game gets released nowadays the go to shill phrase is>it's a BLAST>I'm having a BLASTAnother good one is>it's fun with friends!Meaning the actual "fun" you're having is just you being with your friends which has nothing to do with the game itself. When retards start spouting out how "fun" games are I know they're retarded and not worth listening to.
>>721159248>17 posts and 4 image replies ommitedroflmao at the absolute state of newfags
someone said something about my open world slop gamefourchan has fallen
>>721168673I wouldn't care if they only complained about their own shows getting censored and would even support it. What I hate is when they start spamming gore in the threads for non-normalfag shows because they hate that it is uncensored. People online want to aggressively force you to commiserate with them and it is obnoxious.
>>721157596His statement is almost completely correct, though. The internet of the millennial was full of earnest, passionate people. Weird? Sure. Autistic? Most likely. Degenerate? Depends on where you looked. But the internet was the safe haven where one could find a community of like-minded people and let their freak flag fly, as the youths say. It was the tech revolution equivalent of the black sheep moving from their east fuck-knuckle small towns that treated them as a pariah, to big cities where they could find people who accepted them as one of their own.People born in the last 20 years can't even fathom the concept that going back just one generation, a vast majority of the Earth's population had a perspective and worldview shaped entirely within a radius ≤100km of where they lived, and their only awareness beyond that came from news anchors or newspaper headlines from mainstream media. Being different was a social death sentence.I'd love to delve further into the minutiea of the sociological shifts that lead to the way people interact with the internet today, but I remind myself this is just shitposting on a Tibetan woodcarving forum and I'd have better luck squeezing orange juice out of potatoes than finding genuine good faith discussion here.
>>721164539he was right after all.
>>721169473I know that feel, bro. I was here since 2015 and the drop of quality is astounding. Normal and cool people got replaced by dopamine addicts.
>>721169635Instead of constantly bitching about people not liking your shit taste you should learn how to be human and defend your shit taste.
>>721169262>>721169473i guess a grim reminder that everything will continue to changeI kinda thought we were trailblazing something special in the beginning but the internet was ruined as soon as it became profitable.
>>721166797I see absolutely no difference.
>>721169797>just continuously argue against wave after wave of sophists, contrarians, and the occasional real person with a real argumentanon hasn't learned the futility of internet arguments yet, showing his young age.
>>721170021if you have such a problem with internet arguments then just leave. place is clearly not for you. talk to some retards offline or whatever.
>>721170021Consider that you're just too retarded to make good arguments in your favour.
>>721170085no, you leave>>721170115consider that you are not able to understand the point of my post, you are underage and stupid

>>721169718What really gets me is seeing the normalization of these bizarre psychotic histrionics that the majority of the new riffraff exhibit; that is, the wild making up of strawmen life history and personal background or superfluous spam of their favorite (usually a 2016+) buzzword, as if it would cause physical harm to their opponents in the real world. Every interaction with another person on the internet is some insane narcissistic head game they demand you participate in, while they show their 'superiority' with every post being some "own" or "epic reddit diss" bullshit. The genuine discussion being killed by literal low-intellect savages is the internet's chivalry.
>>721148571Internet has become fully infected with the outrage brainrot virus ever since the election. It was bad for a long time but right now it's almost unbearable. It's like sharing the web with a legion of vitriolic schizophrenics looking for newer ways to argue about pointless shit. Soon people will start arguing on the amazon product review pages.
>>721148571/v/ has always been negative. Thats part of the culture. Where reddit used to constantly downplay or outright deny negative criticism has a place, /v/ embraced a negative initial stance. It was different at the time.Unfortunately that has spiraled out of control. Where before, everyone acknowledged that there was almost always something to criticize about a game, it was usually actual criticism. There were specific things pointed out that were bad, and the things that were good were usually at least acknowledged. Nowadays you just get retards drive by posting "its shit" without any actual criticism. Again, something that always existed, but now its the norm instead of an ignorable exception. You also get a lot of retards just doing absolutely ridiculous hyperbole, saying shit "looks like a PS2 game" to a perfectly fine title which isn't quite photo realistic with zero irony. It shuts down real discussion when someone is acting like an ape in the middle of the forum.The only way to is to shut down these faggots by more people pointing out posts without actual criticism as the empty vacuous bullshit they are. And doing the same with empty worthless ragebait.It will never happen. Shifting the culture of anywhere intentionally might as well not be possible.
why didn't you listen
>>721170021This is one of the most bizarre parts of being an oldfag that I cannot comprehend.The newfags and zoomers don't understand that there are people on the internet that get their jollies by making bad faith arguments, acting retarded, or otherwise just generally wasting your time or making you mad on the internet. At least 80% of the most retarded posts on /v/ are trolls acting retarded on purpose for (you)s and yet they get a constant stream of real replies from midwits.Its like everyone forgot the simple fact that trolls exist and take every single stupid post at face value now.
I reject any claim of people changing.Its the industry that got shittier and people just react to it as they should.As a matter of fact people should be way way more upset.
>>721169793You should've seen how bad the drop between 2005 and 2015 was
>>721169793Most normal anons got ragebait fatigue and left
gay concern troll thread
>>721169718A lot of millennials joined the rage bait because they missed out the golden YouTuber age that smarter millennials took. So you see 35 yo millennials trying to be as desperate as possible when they could have been making normal videos 15 years ago
>>721168003Not a Nintendo gameHell I already saw >Why is this getting threads game is not out yetIn Sonic, dangan and trails, while new fire emblem threads are allowed
>>721170994Every single aspect has been taken over by the /pol/-brained double standard. My politics = good, their politics = bad. Doesn't matter what it is.
>>721162509>They getBecause they can't stop spamming? Because they raid other threads?>>721156223
>>721169718It's not Zoomers that broke the internet. Just angry Doomers and Boomers who finally got ostracized from society. This is the last place they have now, and nobody wants them.
>>721171678The problem is that it's not just trolling these days, hell, I know these people personally and they are so tangled up in sophism, post-truth narratives and way of thinking that they honestly love to smell their own farts while being oblivious to the fact that most people don't even like them to be around. I'll agree that a lot of people here also started to engage with obvious bait though.
>>721170994when I say "its shit" without further comment Im just saying myself some time.you should respect that.
>>721148725This but unironically
>>721171743This. I was here since 2020 so I know what I'm talking about.
>>721157202>Muh EricLiterally check out the archive any time, retard. You faggots are being noticed because you can't help it by raiding too many threads and pretend anons don't play multiple games Also how nice of this Eric to never spam and shitpost in your fire emblem generals
>>721172006so why do you hang out at this angry doomer and boomer spot?why not enjoy the great discussions with the great people who are part of society still?
>>721171678No, Anon, it's worse. It's true that zoomers don't comprehend trolling but that's because they actually mean it. They are really retarded. You can tell because people are like that outside the internet now too. The idea of having an online persona that's separate from who you really are is unfathomable to these broke-brained retarded children who grew up on the internet.
>>721172102It's just a phase. Just shit on it's way down the sewer. I like watching shit go down.
>>721163594>all of the organized raids just so happen to be on games that people like, Mario, Elden Ring, Silksong.Criticism posted of those exact games is always met with vitriol, seething and extreme butthurt.>muh discord raid>git gud EKSDEH>muh shazamFuck off faggot, some screenshots of some faggots that waste their life on a fucking discord server to shitfling their drivel doesnt magically turn any objective criticism into shitposting or the anon being a secret agent of the former
>>721171678Best example of this is jeetposting. Trolls pretend to be indians in order to piss people off and yet people actually think there are a mass of indians posting on /v/ now.
>>721171984Nta but Gen warring in Pokemon is one of THE BIGGEST autist things it’s not a “Nintendo fan” thing
>>721172324nobody actually thinks that.its just fun to beat up the pretend jeet. the pretend jeet enjoys it too. its win/win.
>>721169718Internet discussion was ruined by midwits like this guy. He read a post, invented a completely different post in his deranged mind and responded to that illusion because it vaguely mentioned something vaguely related to a regurgitated message he wanted to share with the masses.
>>721171678>>721172026>>721172147>>721172324These. Pic also related
>>721172324At least Indians are a substantial percentage of the world population. There's people here who genuinely think that /v/ is full of trannies. Like, you think it's just generic insult like fag used to be but then you engage them in further conversation and they become completely unhinged screaming at imaginary trannies.
>>721172147Broke-brained is not a real word you literal retard.
>>721148571>posts another post with zero context and still manages to get this many repliesyou're all fucking brain broken and botw is pretty garbage desu.
>>721172403He's right tho
>>721172449trannies are absolutely a substantial part of enthusiast gaming circles.way higher than jeets anyways, who arent known to play games at all.
>>721172494If you're nitpicking my choice of neologism it's probably because I described you to a tee and you can't do anything but seethe about it
>>721172495I liked BoTW but I finished it years ago and it’s kinda tiresome seeing a handful of autists screeching nonstop because “I’ll never get my old Zelda game unless I convince everyone Botw was bad”
>>721172147But isn't it better to at least act like they're just acting retarded? Its certainly easier on my old mind to think that "nobody could possibly be this retarded, he's clearly trolling" and move on with my day instead of getting mad. That attitude has stopped me from arguing with retards for more than 5 posts in the past, and I honestly think even if I'm wrong and they are that retarded, its better to dismiss them than feed their retardation.
>>721172449Imagine white knighting for mental midgets that cut off their dick. That's even more pathetic than cutting it off. People are treating you in good faith when you get defensive over someone saying a slur.
>>721162108>not saying someone should do it just that it would be a good thingthis pretty much sums up morality. Everyone is too pussy to be moral
>>721172639>slurnewfag nigger
>>721172006>gamers are overlmao
>>721172605ok fair enough but these people are enabled by autists on the other side who can't take criticism of botw's shortcomings. I didn't hate it, and yes it has some strengths, namely exploration and atmosphere, but a perfect game it was not, and people can't handle that. but it's the same with every conversation in this place, so what are you gonna do?
>>721172594Noticing that you're mentally retarded isn't a nitpick.
>>721172527In his delusional mind he's right in every situation.
>>721148571A bulk of /v/ is just anger-addicted and perpetually looking for things to be angry about.There's a thread right now that's basically just "this black woman worked at 343 in basically a bureaucratic role as its chief of staff" and enough implications to just get the usual retards to assume she's personally responsible for anything in the actual Halo games.You can't out-pace cancer. All you can do is contain it and not feed it.
>>721148720One day, we will have the technology to do such a thing...and it will be glorious.
>>721172752>but a perfect game it was not, and people can't handle that.Thats because retards started to identify parts of their personality with playing certain genres.The worst offender are FromSoft defenders, everything is perfect, Mihahacky cant do no wrong and dont you dare point out the flaws
>>721148571I read that original slop comment!

>>721172605botw is bad though
>>721173018Cherish this (You). You earned it
>>721172938and I really like fromsoft games, but you're right. there are a contingent of people who just can't take criticism. still, it depends on the critique. some people just make shitty critiques, and then get called out on it, and then claim that the fans of X series can't take criticism. god damn what a shitshow. this is why most of the time I don't waste my time engaging in pointless conversations.
>>721172449>>721172639See what I mean? This guy's entire life appears to be some sort of existential struggle over gender politics, and he views everything through that lens. The fact that anyone could think he's unhinged without having a personal stake in this is never considered. He can't have a single conversation that doesn't devolve into deranged ranting about trannies.
>>721173158ANON GET DOWNHE'S GOING TO SPAM HIS FAVORITE BUZZWORD AGAIN
>>721172806You're right, it's less than that. It's pure cope. Notice my dick in yer ma's cunt you failed abortion
>>721148571The joke is that he's describing a ubisoft title. Why are newfags losing their mind and espousing their flunked-out-of-high-school socioeconomic and psychology theories.
>>721172449the problem is, if you've ever been to weirder discord channels or some twitch streams you will know trannies are real and are an outspoken minority.Part of their schtick is being loud and obnoxious despite their low numbers.
>>721173216As if that would do anything but prove me right?
>>721149847You're exactly what everyone in this thread is talking about, and you're unwanted. Brought nothing to the conversation, just came, insulted the OP and said a bunch of nothing. Why did you even post this, I wonder. Wish I could say you were unique, but really you're just like everybody else that's ruining the board: Miserable, unwanted and stupid
>>721173158You're the one that started whining about trannies you autistic retard.
>>721173301Well, the thing is, I don't go to those discord channels, I go to /v/, and the loud and obnoxious outspoken minority here is the pathological tranny complainers.
>>721173120>and I really like fromsoft gamesAs do i, but the studios been playing mostly the same song that has glaring flaws baked in its core for a decade now (tbf AC 6 was a breath of fresh air)>god damn what a shitshow. this is why most of the time I don't waste my time engaging in pointless conversations.My thoughts exactly and the only way to stay fucking sane.Also pic related sums it up perfectly
>>721173389I remarked that there's a contingent on /v/ that is eternally triggered by trannies living in their heads rent free 24/7 and you went and proved me right within three minutes.
>>721173431It's far more likely that you're a tranny than that you just so happen to get extremely butthurt and defensive at their mention. Nobody did the same for fag, kike, autistic, spastic or nigger.
>>721148571You could just learn to accept it instead of having a conniption and trying to stamp it out every time you encounter it. Forced positivity is just as bad, if not worse.
>>721163353I agree with him and I've been here since 2006
>>721173565All you've shown is that you get extremely triggered when people call you a tranny.
>>721173358>YOU CANT CWITICIZE ME OR MY GAMES IT HURTS MUH FEEFEES!I guess it's probably impossible for cancer like you to understand but /v/ used to actually be a place to discuss video games. Being a screeching crybaby retard is not discussing games. Hugboxing subhumans used to be laughed off this board but here we are. If newfag cancer like you fucked off this site would improve tenfold. I don't give a fuck if zoomer cancer like you wants actual oldfags gone. Get raped.
>>721173605>Nobody did the same for fag, kike, autistic, spastic or nigger.because those were simple insults and not genuine accusations you mentally ill gorillanigger.i unironically can't think of anything more pathetic than schizos obessed with troons (except troons themselves).
>>721173605nta but no one used to actually spend time obsessing over any of those like people do trannies.
>>721173815>>721173829People aren't doing it for trannies either. You guys just have a persecution complex. It's an insult like any other stop getting personally offended if it doesn't apply to you.
>>721173605>newfag revisionwhen reddit immigrated over around 2011, it was years and years of their favorite buzzword spam like yours but in this case autistic. everyone who didn't agree them was autistic or acted like autists, just like everybody who disagrees with your literally psychotic ass is trans or acts like a transhope you sort this shit out before someone transforms into a "tranny" in real life and you assault somebody
>>721173812
>>721173812>Being a screeching crybaby retard is not discussing games.the fucking irony kek
>>721148774Discussion about video games is going to include negativity, especially the way video games are now.4chan's propensity for vitriol may have something to do with it, but people have a genuine desire/need to vent when they encounter something frustrating, especially when they can't do it elsewhere because everyone wants to be relentlessly positive and "nice" all the time.Criticism has its place, and when it's suppressed by people threatened by it, it feels even more important to voice it.Maybe some people go overboard as a reaction to relentless forced positivity.
>>721173921>People aren't doing it for trannies either.Yeah they are bro. Your head is firmly in the sand to say this.
>>721173239Is this real?
>>721173431those discord channels are very 4chan adjacent, they are here shitposting too.im honestly not sure why you think they aren't on 4chan.
>>721173947Nice try you autistic nigger.
>>721174038You are personally offended because I said so. Stop being mad.
>>721173605>It's far more likely that you're a trannylmaoProving me right>you just so happen to get extremely butthurt and defensive at their mentionProjection
>>721174038When people call you a retard they really do think that you're retarded.
>>721148885>it's "cringe culture" where taking an interest in anything is made fun of and it spread here>so either live or take a bath in the irony poisoned pool your callThis is a separate issue from negativity. A lot of negativity comes from a place of genuine passion, and a lot of the time it's met by irony poisoned people saying "lol why do you care so much, it's just a game".You're correct that irony poisoning is a major real problem. But it's not limited to negativity.
>>721174112Keep losing your shit.
>>721173779I've shown that you can't shut the fuck up about trannies at the mere mention of them. I don't care if you call me a tranny because it proves me right. Please keep going.
My favorite was when fanboys claimed that 80 dollar price tags would guarantee us free DLC, since the companies wouldn't have to charge us extra. And then Nintendo just announces 20 dollar DLC for Pokemon before it's even out.
>>721173921You're literally doing it now
>>721174278No you've shown that you get extremely butthurt when people call you a tranny because you either identify with the insult or are so incredibly pathetic you feel the need to defend them.
>>721156068Such positivity.It's not that anon's fault you're afraid to acknowledge problems. If you want to live in a bubble where everything is sunny and wonderful, sever your internet connection instead of impotently lashing out at everyone who confronts you with uncomfortable information. You'll have much more success with that method.
>>721174330My favorite is when you take an interaction you had with a couple of people and ascribe it to a mass group to put another notch of grievances against an imagined tribe
>>721160027Yep, pretty much. The Nintendo circlejerking with the Switch/2 is far worse than the Sony circlejerking ever was with the PS4.
>>721174434>haha gotcha 5 hour old rebuttalYou trying to out-embarrass this newfag loser spamming about trans?
>>721174368Stop letting it live rent-free in your mind nigger.
BotW is a 7/10 when interesting stuff happens and I'm in a good moodit's honestly a 5/10 a lot of the timeactually I've played "5/10" games and they never got as boring as BotW, so maybe BotW is a 3/10
>>721174073I'm not saying they're not on 4chan. I'm saying that they are at most a small part of the deographics of this place, that if they do post here they seem to know how to hide their powerlevels, and that genuinely thinking that every other poster is secretly a tranny is paranoid schizophrenia.
>>721174186they are somewhat linkedMany people shitpost negativity for attention, its the easiest way to bait.Its probably half what they really think, and half for attention. Otherwise they wouldn't feel the need to go on and on about a video game they don't like.
>>721174508I didn't pay attention to the time, I just saw a stupid post and responded to it.
>>721174582if they knew how to hide their powerlevels they wouldn't get in the slur hall of fame with fag
>>721172006This. The doomer boomers are crying and dying while us young buck pick up the pieces.

>>721174608>Otherwise they wouldn't feel the need to go on and on about a video game they don't like.Honestly, some people just work that way. I go on about things I don't like but it's because I want to vent and I want to understand/articulate what I don't like about something.Besides, half the time I just intend to have my say and leave it at that, but people lose their shit over it and it becomes an an hours-long argument.I've said it before: Threads wouldn't get hijacked by negativity if people could just see it and move on. More often than not, it's the desperation to stamp it out of that ironically makes it continue for an entire thread.
>>721152778It just got boring, and for all his wacky artwork, the stories he writes are horrendously dull.
This requires more HARMONYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MC0G-Lbuuk
>>721174425I'm doing neither of those things. Anon, please read what I am saying: you are so tranny-obsessed it's impossible to have a normal conversation with you. That is my point, nothing more. It would be as annoying if you had chosen anything else to get irrationally obsessive and angry about. But it just happens to be trannies. If it was vanilla ice cream then people would also start telling you to shut the fuck up about vanilla ice cream and you'd be there going "triggered chocolate fags! Vanilla vanilla vanilla! U mad!"
>>721172449This anon is a tranny.
Imagine not enjoying video games.
>>721175025You're so incredibly retarded it's a miracle you can breathe without assistance.
>>721174830>Looping back to an earlier part of the conversationNo really though, *if* trannies are always loud and obnoxious, then the only conclusion is that there really aren't any on /v/. Conversely, if they are on /v/, they're very quiet about being trans.
>>721175135This guy hates vanilla
>>721174992can't believe they made such a great song for a rainbow unicorn autoscroll platforming flash game for girls
>>721175025Sorry to both-sides you anon, but you are just as obsessed about people obsessing over trannies as they are about trannies
>>721175151literally nobody brought up trannies until you started talking about people oppressing trannies. it always starts like this.
>>721175078Do you enjoy every video game you play?
>>721175436Yeah.
>>721148571Kys
>>721175025>starts this whole conversation by bringing up trannies out of nowhere>spends the next hour of his life talking about trannies>all while complaining about people being obsessed with tranniesAnon?
>>721175536You're just proving me right.
>>721175484Then your enjoyment is incredibly shallow, because you can't differentiate between good and bad.If you enjoy everything, you enjoy nothing.
>>721173301he knows that. ask yourself why he would act a fool.
>>721175341I just happened to mention it in a relevant conversation. I was immediately beset by several paranoid schizophrenics. For example:>>721175398Literally who said anything about oppression? You are utterly incapable of self-reflection. How many times must I repeat myself: it's your inability to let go of the fucking culture war for the span of a single conversation. Even that criticism has you going "tranny tranny tranny, stop defending trannies" when factually, I did nothing of the sort. This is about you, Anon. Not about trannies. You're literally not capable of viewing any conversation as anything else but a struggle between yourself and the trannies and that was my point.
>>721148571In 2007 we knew not to reply to shitposters and trolls saying negative or insulting shit to get people angry.Then internet tourists came, completely ignored this common sense and encouraged the negativity by responding/arguing with it.Just ignore it.
>>721175596Or maybe I'm capable of enjoying things unlike you.
>>721175536So now you're obsessed with me, and I'm obsessed with you?
>>721174973>Threads wouldn't get hijacked by negativity if people could just see it and move on.Anon, that is just not how shit works now. Lax moderation means samefagging/schizoposting has gone off the fucking rails, bit by bit, for over a decade. The fact is a single bad apple spoils a whole thread when he's a dedicated bad apple with no job and a personal mission no one can comprehend. There are so many shitposters across this site the moderation team literally can't stop if they tried, nevermind that they aren't really trying. Look at any Stellarblade thread and its bot posting. Several /vg/ generals have been completely destroyed by the efforts of a local thread schizo running simple fucking bots. The collective posters can't do shit about this in pure anonymity. "A lie spreads around the world before the truth can get its pants on" applies here. It is so, insanely, trivially easy to pop in and just sew chaos here when the users can't actually do anything about it.
>>721172324I don't think anyone believes a post going "Sirs do not please" is actually indian.
>>721175706your point was that you get offended when people insult you. that's the point of an insult. but you don't stop at getting offended. you go on a complete meltdown and derail entire threads when you see an insult that by all means shouldn't cause such a caustic reaction if it wasn't deeply personal.
>>721148571>forced
>>721175795If you have no point of reference for good or bad, I don't think you're capable of understanding what enjoyment even is.
>>721173753most definitely worse.
>>721173358OP is a faggot and deserves to be insulted.>unwantedlmao could you make it any more obvious that you're not from here?
>>721176072So how does hating everything make you know the difference between good and bad?
>>721148571>forced negativity is killing 4channo it isn't>how do we fix it?go to reddit
>>721175706The irony of that entire post holy shit
>>721175969>your point was that you get offended when people insult you.It literally wasn't lmaoYou really can't comprehend anything outside of a narrow culture war script with a pre-defined enemy>you go on a complete meltdown and derail entire threadsThat was precisely my criticism to you and look what you didSeems that my observation offended you in a deeply personal way. Not everything is about trannies?!? Impossible! Tranny lies! I consider my point sufficiently proven and I can shut up about it now. Can you?
>>721148571Your thread sucks faggot
>>721175706It's actually impossible to make a trannybrain understand the depths of their disease anon
Why do 4trancels seethe so much when you enjoy things instead of being overly negative about everything?
>>721176262how someone manages to have this little self-awarenes is beyond me. you honestly believe you're waging a war when you see the word tranny on your screen.
>>721175865>The fact is a single bad apple spoils a whole thread when he's a dedicated bad apple with no job and a personal mission no one can comprehend.But that just affirms the point I'm making. Threads only get derailed because people feel the need to be combative with the so-called "shitposters" (which I'm sure genuinely exist, but anecdotally I always get accused of being one just for expressing my genuine opinion). A lot of people here are extremely allergic to negativity, and their allergic reaction is worse than the negativity itself.I'm not saying the board doesn't have problems. People losing their shit over negativity only makes them worse.The ability to express negativity is important. Not all negativity comes from shitposters.
>>721176345faggot libleftist raised by a single mother can't handle the bants. many such cases.
>>721176262Calm your tits tranny. You can pretend that you won an internet argument if it makes you feel any better but we both know that you'll just go on another preemptive tirade in a different thread completely unprovoked.
>>721176563Why are you trans?
>>721174467these "people" do all act the same and use the same nonarguments though.
>>721176631I have two kids with my lovely wife lel
>>721176164I don't hate everything. I hate bad things. I like good things. Being able to understand what makes something good and what makes something bad, and contrast the two, makes me enjoy the good things more.Identifying the flaws in something bad can be fun and instructive. You should try it sometime.
>>721148571forced positivity is killing video games, what's your point?
>>721176262When did anyone say that everything is about trannies?
>>721176274>thread is shit and not even talking about video games>mods let it stay up because it's boosting engagement metrics and some tranny-obsessed marketer is getting paid pennies per reply/v/ - Viral Marketing
narcissist control freak thread
>>721175706how severe is the tranny problem in the us? i live in a small town in europe, was in contact with two trannies, they were acting like regular people during these interactions all things considered. is there really so many of them or are they controlling the social narrative in such a big way? why are people in your country so obsessed with them, at least when it comes to 4chan?
>>721176707So you're trans.
>>721163097thread ID's and IP count, people will say IP count didn't matter but shitposting threads proceeded to be more prevalent than ever after the change, with entire threads being one guy just talking to himself
>>721172752Almost nobody says Botw is “perfect”, nobody takes issue with criticism but I shouldn’t have to be battling back some fucking schizoposter with pages of pre-typed arguments every time I want to discuss a game.
>>721176345I don't have a problem with people enjoying things. It's the tendency to launch into a frothing-at-the-mouth tirade in defense of them whenever someone dares level mild criticism that I take issue with.
>>721176897no, I'm not going to commit suicide in a few hours and I didn't make this thread as my final way of feeling like I'm lashing out because I chopped my knob off KEK
>>721176740>I don't hate everything>seethes endlessly at the notion of enjoying somethinguh huh
>>721176551You don’t seem to know how the meta works now. A schizo poster will respond to HIMSELF and play out both sides of an argument to his desired outcome
>>721176978>admits to being trans
>>721167694the thread that used to get deleted for off-topic it now gets to stay up with 1 dude talking to himselfwhat a great change
>>721175706>tranny bullshit gets pushed into games>anons complain about it>OMG RENT FREE HOW COULD YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT TRANNIES ALL THE TIME!!! THEY'RE JUST A MINORITY!!!What an actual fucking disingenuous faggot, 41% yourself, now.
>>721149430Video game threads get deleted once they go on long enough to qualify for the arbitrary "general rule", which is more often just an excuse for mods to ban games they don't like while generals of games they do like get to stay.The popular example of this was banning Project Moon and SCP threads while there were 24/7 Smash DLC speculation generals get to stay up.Now you see threads for extremely popular/anticipated releases this year like Deltarune and Uma getting deleted while vaguely vidya-related AI slop generals threads are permanent fixture of the board.
>>721176892>i live in a small town in europe, was in contact with two trannies, they were acting like regular people during these interactions all things consideredThat's probably because you were talking to them directly and didn't have the opportunity to "misgender" them. You can't call a tranny reasonable and normal until you see their reaction to the realization that you will not validate their delusion.That's the real test.
>>721176974As opposed to the people in this thread frothing at the mouth because people don't hate everything?
>>721177110mindbroken
>>721176961>almost nobody says BOTW is perfect>just ignore people constantly jerking off game journalists>just ignore every single BOTW thread that's just retards spamming game journo articles>just ignore famitsu threads that do nothing but jerk off BOTW sales numbers>just ignore the same group of idiots who do nothing but repeat the same pre-typed arguments about how it's a masterclass in game design, and how other games aren't fit to lick the shit from BOTW's boots (actual quote, by the way)
>>721176961well it tends to happen that way when the same conversation happens over and over you know. you get to the point where you want to communicate your opinion without having to waste time constructing it. not that I endorse such behavior, mind you. then again, I don't endorse the act of spamming the same fucking talking points over and over again, either, though I imagine some of it is newfags who want to talk about the game. even in that case it still ends up in the same place where it started; shitposting.
>>721176994The point is that you assume somebody who expresses negativity is incapable of enjoyment. In fact, by being able to discern good from bad, they likely enjoy things more than you do.
>>721177189See>>721177110
>>721177310They aren't yes.
>>721176262(They could not shut up about it)
>>721177290>you want to communicate your opinion without having to waste time constructing it“I didn’t enjoy (game) because (reason)”If you type 6 paragraphs of monologuing you aren’t expressing your opinion, you’re trying to sway an audience and that is fucking tiresome
>>721176551>>721177069the guy you are arguing is doing the fanboy thing of accusing everybody who voices criticism of being an obsessed schizo right now.this scapegoating is extremely common in threads. that way you dont have to address any criticisms after all. just say its some evil bogeyman.
>>721176892No, their opponents are controlling the social narrative. People obsess over them because they're told to.
>>721176814one meta thread is allowed according to hiroyuki.it is fucking shit though.
>>721177069>You don’t seem to know how the meta works now. A schizo poster will respond to HIMSELF and play out both sides of an argument to his desired outcomePerhaps that does happen on occasion. But how does that justify losing your shit at any and all criticism?If the person you're getting mad at isn't a shitposter, then you just derailed the thread by turning it into a prolonged argument.If the person you're getting mad it IS a shitposter, you're just helping him derail.Why not simply refrain from engaging with negativity, if you hate it so much?
>>721177202Point to a single person doing that.
>>721177649>don’t engage with schizoposter>he is still taking up 3/4 of your thread arguing with himself and burying any actual conversation under his own shit>eventually you just give up trying to talk about your game because of bad actors
>>721177310You're assuming they are able to discern good from bad, when every indication seems to be that they can't and just default to thinking everything is bad.
>>721177767Here
>>721177260dont forget that botw is actually totally a return to form and that every zelda between 1 and botw was not a true zelda.
>>721177564I disagree. (You) are my audience. I'm not some talking head. we're all anonymous here. sometimes opinions can only be encapsulated in a long form essay like repose. I do agree it is tiresome when every asshole is doing that, though, because then it's hard to digest all of that. however, you wouldn't be here if you didn't have time to kill so I'd say it's just as well.
>>721177832maybe nobody wants to actually discuss your shitty game
>>721177832By your own admission you can't do anything about it. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that you shouldn't engage. In both cases you will only make things worse.Your need to conflate all negativity with shitposting is causing you to act in ways which make you more miserable.
>>721177878>sometimes opinions can only be encapsulated in a long form essay like reposeNo. This is just pseud shit people do for the same reason YouTubers make 12 hour “retrospectives” that are really just plot synopsis, it impresses retards.
>>721177475>starts a disingenious argument out of nowhere>people engage him>has no valid point other than his seethe>declares victory because he genuinely thinks he's fighting a war and runs away>except he doesn't he's still here trying to get the last word in(He couldn't)
>>721178198I know that newfaggots have fried brains but there is nothing wrong with making longer posts.We got 2000 letters for a reason.
>>721148571all the kids got psyopped HARD in multiple sinister ways
>>721177853>when every indication seems to be that they can't and just default to thinking everything is bad.How would you know? This is an anonymous board. You're seeing a person's opinion on one game, and your certainty that he feels that way about every game he plays is nothing but a flawed assumption.
>>721178346other way around. they were psyopped into liking garbage and they are slowly waking up.
>>721177853m8 me shitting on your garbage game you drone over doesnt mean I dont like any games.thats just your brain malfunctioning and not being able to imagine that being possible.
this thread shows really well that the forced positivity side is way more fucked in the head and the actual problem.
>>721178332There is basically no situation for a video game where an opinion needs that much text unless you are trying to make Omni-criticism and say every single element of a game is shit, which is totally unreasonable behavior
>>721178403>>721178489Nobody here ever gives any indication of liking anything
>>721178275>trannies trannies trannies>trannies trannies trannies trannies>Trannies?>Trannies!>TRANNIESAnyway
>>721178823I hate tourists like you
>>721178683wrong. you are just illiterate.
>>721178683>and say every single element of a game is shitHave you ever heard of venting? If you have a bad time with a game and want to talk about it, you're going to be focused on the negatives.
>>721178930I've been here since 2006
>>721179071lol
>>721178823>>721178930>Want to talk about video game>"BUY AN AD", Thread dies, also I get banned>Post TRANNY NIGGER RACEBAITING ZOOPHILE SLOP>Get tons of engagement and replies. Thread reaches 500 replies!
>>721178823I will agree it's unfortunate that the negative posts outstrip the positive ones by such a large margin.But criticism comes from passion. Even someone who complains about most games is complaining because he knows what he likes and he's not getting it. That alone suggests he is capable of enjoying something. If he didn't enjoy games at all, why would he even care? But maybe his standards are too high. I think mine are, sometimes. On the other hand, I'd rather have too-high standards than none at all.
>>721162252I think something about 2020 really made people snap for the worse in regards to how seriously they take video games, because I remember when BotW came out and it was a magical few weeks as everyone was spreading playground rumors of secrets they found to each other in threads, and when TotK came out I couldn't talk about it with anyone because every thread was full of console warrior/GOTY award bitching.
>>721148571He's right, tho, tendies gassing up generic ubislop open worlds because they got their first exposure to it through BOTW has done incalculable damage to the gaming industry. Look at what they've done to Metroid Prime 4 because of it, there is no excuse.
>>721179298>But criticism comes from passion.The passion seems to be for hating things. /v/ knows what it likes and it's hating everything.
>>721178912Your obsession has been noted.
>>721179183>Thread reaches 500 replies!Sometimes. Other times the thread gets deleted at ~480 posts so the mods can pretend they're doing something.
Modern /v/ is basically a parody of how /v/ used to pretend it was like.
>>721179183>>721148571So the problem isn't really negativity, it's the lack of positivity.
>>721175339I can't believe I'm the first anon to post about it. Seeing my post spread like wild fire was magical. Felt like I made my mark on the world.
>>721179363>magical few weeks as everyone was spreading playground rumors of secrets they found to each other in threadsthere was a lot of genuine belief that BotW was the first open-world title of its type because it was a lot of people's first game in the genre
>>721179518>The passion seems to be for hating thingsTwo sides of the same coin.>/v/ knows what it likes and it's hating everything./v/ is vitriolic by nature and contrarian by nature, both of which makes it skew towards criticism. There's also a lot to criticize these days.But as valid as I think negativity is, I am with you in the sense that I wish we had more positivity to balance it out sometimes.
>>721179042When I vent about something it’s generally about something or someone that hurt me not something I just didn’t like, and the concept of hating a toy enough to also hate everyone who likes it is totally alien to me
>>721179719This. To a tendie, it was the first time they would've ever play a game as big as botw.
>>721179689That's cool anon, I'm happy for you
>>721179363totk was a massive disappointment so why does this surprise you
>>721179869>When I vent about something it’s generally about something or someone that hurt me not something I just didn’t likeThat's fair, I guess. I don't think there's anything wrong with venting about something you don't like though. Especially if you're disappointed or frustrated with it.>and the concept of hating a toy enough to also hate everyone who likes it is totally alien to meI don't think this is as common as you perceive it to be. I will say I sometimes get frustrated with people not having standards, but I tend to reserve that for paying for shitty microtransactions or pestering everyone to upgrade to the newer, shittier version of windows.
>>721179636This.
>meta thread is still upwoah are mods listening? lol
>>721177260>>721177865Literally proving his point by the way especially given that nothing on your list is actually true.
>>721179719It wasn't my first, but it was the first I actually bought at launch and got in on the honeymoon phase of discovery.I wish I would've bought in on Xenoblade X a couple months earlier because even some of those late stage threads were fun to be a part of.
>>721180152Nah, the anti-Nintendo mod is clearly here and has been trying to steer the narrative towards blaming nonexistent tendies again.
>>721180259Well we must call Abib to defend us then, nintenbro
>>721180259>nonexistent tendies>implying there's no fans of nintendoan interesting schizophrenia tbf
>>721180173>nothing on your list is actually trueWant to embarrass yourself any further, chum?
>>721148571Yeah man, I can't stand how negative and hateful people are for literally no reason. It's like it's a crime to enjoy anything anymore. Like dude, some people need to fucking relax a little. I swear it's just bots trying to rile people up.
>>721180173kill yourself
>>721180121Yeah the game was a disappointment, that doesn't mean it was a 0/10 and didn't have things in it I liked that I would've liked to talk about and share, but every thread was full people didn't give a shit about the actual game and just wanted to talk about the internet drama around it and how they desperately wanted to see the game fail.
>>721180515>>721180173And before you try the tired old "YOU'RE JUST DEFENDING GACHA SLOP" defense, here's Nintendo fans shitting on Witcher 3 and Elden Ring as well.
>>721180350>implying he isn't the anti-Nintendo mod
>>721180515>>721180832>blatant anti-Nintendo shitposting force using the same phrases>none of them are cslling Botw perfect anywayYou should just call it quits dude.
>>721178595Fuck Frogposters and their stupid ass takes.
>>721170712Pretentious retard
>>721180997>blatant anti-Nintendo shitposting force using the same phrasesBut Nintendo fans all say the same thing, and they all agree. So your attempt at calling them a falseflag falls flat.>none of them are calling Botw perfect anywayAnd yet you can't show a single time you guys were able to accept criticism.
>>721180721guess the people disagreed because it was so disappointing.honestly nintendo being this lazy with the game is a bigger deal and way more worth discussing than any of its content.
>>721181049>takesGo back.
>>721181049its just the truth. you faggots are unhinged and need help.
>>721180721You guys didn't deserve game discussion, because you shat on everyone and every other thread. You reap what you sow. Maybe, just maybe, obsessing over sales and calling people snoys was a bad idea?
>>721181640>>721181647>Everyone else is the problem, not us!
>>721181882well you make it very evident.
>>721180721But you see, from my perspective, I was finding it equally annoying that a ton of people were determined to shill it as a 10/10 game with no flaws, and trying to engage with that was like talking to a brick wall. As someone who wants to see the industry improve and thinks criticism is an important aspect of that, it's frustrating.I guess the problem is there's often no nuance on either side. A game has to be either 10/10 or 0/10. People treat it like a team sport.Those who think it's somewhere in the middle will try to defend it or criticize it and all the people who insist that it's THE BEST GAME EVER or the WORST GAME EVER will descend on them in rabid fury.
>>721180138>I sometimes get frustrated with people not having standardsYou people unironically need to fuck off and touch grass>ugh just because you had fun with the game doesn’t mean you can enjoy it it doesn’t live up to some vaguely defined personal standards of mine you have to share
>>721148571Permanently region ban india, russia, eastern europe, israel, and I guess poland too
>>721181334>But Nintendo fans all say the same thing, and they all agreeSweeping statement with no evidence behind it. It also wouldn't make sense for tendies to be all the same since they aren't a collective like a certain other fanbase. For example FE fans don't particularly like Zelda.>So your attempt at calling them a falseflag falls flat.Hardly, given we have more evidence of anti-Nintendo falseflagging particularly from the one guy who spams "lost and raped" forgetting to take off his trip as well as the phrase originating as something he used to shit on Nintendo there's far more evidence that it's a falseflag.>And yet you can't show a single time you guys were able to accept criticism.Except for the threads we have in 2017.In any case you haven't shown any evidence of the contrary, all you've shown is a random assortment of anons mentioning Botw out of the blue. In addition if you're claiming it to be criticism and that's why they're attacking Elden Ring it would make it at most retaliatory meaning someone in thar thread would have had to have attacked a 2017 game no one was talking about.This is how you argue Doug. Study it, learn it and do better.
>>721174467Cope tendie, u got called out
>>721181994Did you miss the part where I said I reserve that for people gobbling up microtransactions and shit like that?I think you missed that.
>>721181950>But you see, from my perspective, I was finding it equally annoying that a ton of people were determined to shill it as a 10/10 game with no flaws, and trying to engage with that was like talking to a brick wall.Wouldn't that make you a literal schizophrenic? There isn't any evidence of people shilling or treating it as a flawless game. In fact /v/ the lack of Nintendo shilling is so apparent that anti-Nintendo posters often use it in their shitposting to say Nintendo games are "dead" because no one is discussing it.You can't have it both ways you know.
>>721148774It's because ragebait works and now it is a fundamental part of the way humans interact. Probably because it's the first time in the world humans have largely been able to say the most retarded or evil bullshit they want, have other people see it, and remain under no threat of being physically assaulted. The internet has completely changed the way normie brains work.
>>721181716desu thats a factor too. botw fanboys were fanning the flames like hell.
>>721182210you are mentally ill
>>721174023>steam won't let me rant about jews so I have to come to 4chan to call games I haven't played "woke deislop trannycore anal fistula"No, that excuse doesn't cut it. >>721162838No, it's paranoid schizophrenia imported from political shitholes when they all got banned off their home platforms and waddled their way here via /pol/ and proceeded to shit up every other board. No mentally well person actually thinks companies come to 4chan to market anything. On the rare occasion someone actually does, like the guy advertising his game or that threat interactive faggot showing up with multiple threads here and on /g/ WITH PAYMENT LINKS IN THE OP, none of the faggots crying "shill" about anything else say a word.
>>721182496Yes, fanning the flames by keeping to their own thread and talking about the game.You know we have archives, right?
>>721182210>Wouldn't that make you a literal schizophrenic?Why the fuck would it do that?>There isn't any evidence of people shilling or treating it as a flawless game. Motherfucker, I was there in the threads. I saw it first hand.People see what they want to see. This is team sports, console war shit where people polarize and shill their side. Both were occurring with TotK, but for some reason you want to pretend there were only shitposters and nothing else.>anti-Nintendo posters often use it in their shitposting to say Nintendo games are "dead" because no one is discussing itPeople do this about all sorts of games. Not a day goes by where there isn't an "I am forgotten" thread. Just because a single player game isn't being actively discussed NOW doesn't mean there weren't a ton of people shilling it when it was released. That's the nature of hype - it surrounds the newest thing and then disappears.
>>721182059>It also wouldn't make sense for tendies to be all the same since they aren't a collective like a certain other fanbase.Famitsu threads say otherwise. Metroid fans will gladly bat for Zelda fans, defending open world as a masterpiece genre when Zelda does it, and they even defend it if they so much as think that Prime 4 will be open world. FE fans may claim to not like Zelda, but will still call you a snoy if you criticize BOTW. Xenoblade fans and Splatoon fans will do the same. It's all a collective allegiance to their parent company.>hardly, given we have more evidence of anti-Nintendo falseflagging If it's falseflagging, you shouldn't be calling people snoys, and you shouldn't be dismissive of criticism as if it's "shitposting". Even now, you still refuse to entertain the idea that someone might not like BOTW and TOTK. It just has to be shitposting in your eyes, nobody could ever disagree with the game journalist gods that you revere so much.>Except for the threads we have in 2017.The ones that were even worse and spammed game journo shit and metacritic and TGA awards? Great point.>In any case you haven't shown any evidence of the contrary, all you've shown is a random assortment of anons mentioning Botw out of the blue. And yet you couldn't even take the time to condemn a single one of them. Infact, here. I'll prove it with a simple post.See this pic? It shows a fanboy who only cares about muh game awards and muh scores. You will never condemn him as bad. You will instead try to argue that he's some falseflag, conveniently trying to argue that it would be okay for this shitposting to exist, if it wasn't.
>>721182595Spamming porn of Zelda and gay crossdressing porn of Link is not game discussion.
>>721165000>all this shitNobody is going to watch shoujo and moeslop just because your estrogen brain thinks they're better than shounen and seinen works.
>>721182547You're completely unhinged. Go to a therapist if you want to talk about your mentally ill understanding of the world so much.
>>721182547>>steam won't let me rant about jews so I have to come to 4chan to call games I haven't played "woke deislop trannycore anal fistula"You're proving >>721178595 correct.>No mentally well person actually thinks companies come to 4chan to market anything. Why the fuck WOULDN'T they? 4chan is free advertising. They literally just have to make posts. It's completely anonymous. Do you really think corporations do everything else in their power to maximize profits for shareholders but give up the opportunity for completely free advertising?
>discussion about how 4chan is too negative warped into a general discussion about how annoying tendies areI mean, fair, they are, but isn't this missing OP's point completely?
>>721182346It's not bait anymore. I've seen first hand how it changes a friend and how fucking negative and jaded they can become. Absolutely nothing is ever good.
>>721182934Maybe your friend is right.
>>721182856The OP had a point? What?
>>721183029anons are too reflexively negative and need to lighten up
>>721183025If you can play a game for 100 hours and come away with nothing but negatives and whining you have a problem. I'm not saying you have to like X or Y thing either. How and why did you sit through 100 hours if in the end you come out with this way of acting and thinking? It's got to be a mental problem
>>721182346why are people completely incapable of avoiding bait? You see it in every board here and in every place of every other webiste, obvious fucking bait you could tell apart with your left eye closed getting completely genuine and heartfelt pissy responses. It's like a ouroboros where people see ragebait masquerading as a real position, think it's genuine, then eventually make an even more outrageous ironic post which will be taken as genuine until both sides are flanderized and incapable of discourse.
>>721182856>>721183195OP was disproven because toxic positivity is worse than anything else. You end up with a hugbox that bans wrongthink.
>>721171678People don't even know trolling exists anymore, and it doesn't help that the term has shifted to "bait", nor that gr3 doesn't get applied to flagrant troll posts, ever. You might find yourself with a three-day for "trolling" because you told someone to formulate their own opinion instead of asking 4chan to give them one, but actual trolling? Seems the only way anyone gets got for that these days is if a janny feels he himself got trolled.
>>721173983Barryposting really did put the final nail in the coffin of most discussions on /v/. There's still that small window right after a game comes out when you can talk about it but past that it's a crapshoot.
>>721183234I think in this case a game doesn't have literally no positive points, it's just poorly designed to the point where the negatives outweigh them, and they're all that are on your mind by the time you're done.But true, if you're going to spend 100 hours of your life on a game you should be able to acknowledge some positives about it. Perhaps your friend actually is too negative.
>>721183315OP wasn't talking about being overly positve about everything, tho, just not being negative about everything as a default. anons should learn to be apathetic by default and stop trying to have an opinion on everything, it's exhausting.
>>721175823Now kiss
>>721182623>Why the fuck would it do that?Because you're imagining things that didn't happen, obviously.>I was there in the threadsI'm not saying you weren't, I'm saying that what you saw doesn't correspond with what we have in the archives and other accounts from other anons. You're the only one who believes this shilling and perfect posting happened which makes it more than likely that the problem exists in your head.Judging by how angry you're getting I take it that you're trying to come to terms with it but your mental instability won't let you.>This is team sports,Not helping your stance by seeing it that way, games are games anon, it's not something you side with like football and what not. You clearly have some kind of personal stake here and it's the cause of your mental health issues >but for some reason you want to pretend there were only shitposters and nothing else. Oh no one is pretending, like I said evidence exists in the archives. Not to mention after the last dlc released just about every thread was made by those shitposters. >People do this about all sorts of games Not really, it's pretty much exclusive to Nintendo games and third party switch exclusives. You wouldn't see people calling something like monster hunter world dead or even a fairly mediocre game like horizon or something more recent, Elden Ring Nightreign. >Just because a single player game isn't being actively discussed NOW doesn't mean there weren't a ton of people shilling it when it was released. The problem is that I'm talking about a week or two after release, not at this very minute in 2025.>That's the nature of hype - it surrounds the newest thing and then disappears. And yet you don't see the same reaction unless it's a Nintendo game. Strange isn't it.
>>721182595>You know we have archives, right?the audacity to make such a post.
>>721183532>anons should learn to be apathetic by defaultWhat would be the point of even posting then?
you now have botw drones trying to gaslight people into making them believe that they are completely innocent and that all the wrong has only been done to them when botw tards are some of the most evil and obsessed shitposters on this site.this whole thread has been a farce from the start.forced posivity is just an excuse to shit on people and use it as a noble cover.>how can I be the bad guy when I'm doing it in the name of positivity™?
>>721183234>if you play a game a lot that mean you MUST like itAre you completely fucking retarded?By your logic, if I sit in traffic for 500hrs over the course of a year, I must enjoy sitting in trafficI've played 600 hours of elden ring, I think it's dogshit and honestly can't name a single positive about it. That doesn't mean I'm not going to still keep playing it.
>>721183285Remember that quote about how if you pretend to be retarded for long enough, then you'll end up surrounded by actual retards? Yeah this place is full of thirdies who are addicted to posting and responding to ragebait. They see ragebait in the way we used to see rage memes in the late 2000s. To them, it is literally a customary aspect of the internet since that's all they saw when they first started getting internet access in the mid to late 2010s, they believe it's normal.
>>721183532this is a discussion board apathy would be the death of it.straight up kill yourself and then go to reddit with such an opinion.
>>721183532It's not that people should be apathetic it's just that people like these guys >>721181950>>721182624Should just learn to ignore things that they don't personally like instead of driving themselves to insanity trying to convince the masses that their feelings should be the default.
>>721183678You shouldn't post about a game unless you've actually played it
>>721183585>you're the only one who believes this shilling and perfect posting happenedSo as long as nobody literally said "IT'S PERFECT" then that's enough for you? So anons could be obnoxious cunts and say "haha it's a 97/100 and better than every other game in existence, but I technically didn't call it perfect :))))))" and that's fine with you?
>>721183585What the fuck dude, did you just decide to pick some random person and gaslight them? Your obsession with painting me as mentally unwell because I observed that people treat games like team sports and throw nuance out the window - which they do with every major release, and definitely happened with TotK - is frankly bizarre. I actually hope that you are trying to troll me, because you, yourself, are coming off as quite fucking unhinged.Play your games with someone who has time for them.
>>721183863What the fuck is that logic lol you HAVE to sit in traffic as part of your life how is that comparable? I feel like I’m being baited
>>721183960So no speculation about upcoming titles, then?
>>721182719>>721182815"um actually no u" is the weakest defense mechanism. How sad.
>>721180832>>721180515>>721183980>clearly the same shitposter each time>likely your own posts since you're searching by specific canned phrases
>>721184242meds
>>721184157Honestly no, that should get banished to a separate board. This is a board for video games not video game speculation.
>>721183916>>721183532Are we just going to completely overlook the fact that the negativity that someone was talking about was someone not praising BOTW? On the same board where I saw this image 30 times in thread dedicated to negativity before I even knew what game it came from? Why is it suddenly too negative when BOTW is treated the same way?
>>721184242>we true Nintendo fans™ would never approve of those who blindly worship Nintendo games>we true Nintendo fans™ would also never put Nintendo and their games on a pedestal>clearly, this poster (who must be one person, because we need them to be) doesn't represent us, even though he acts exactly the same as all the other Nintendo fans
We need to bring mental asylums for people like OP back.
>>721183960thats retarded.
>>721184384Okay, that's fair.
