You have to go back, faggot.

Proof /vg/ is full of faggots

People who post there actually love the game they're posting about and aren't just trying to falseflag and shitpost.

I browse both. I've also been able to have good discussion on there, but when threads start to get slow the quality of posts diminishes. Also really depends on the general.

upboated our friends from /r/gaming :)

Sup Forums has only gottne worses recently. I didn't think that was possible. It's because of this shills meme. A few actual shills show up on our door and now you literally cannot call a game decent without someone spamming a thread with accusations of shilling.

Visit /nepgen/ then come back and try to say that with a straight face

Wtf are you expecting....you don´t really talk about games on Sup Forums.

Thats always been a thing. Before shilling it was viraling, same shit

/vg/ is a fun ride, I remember watching the Destiny general selfdestruct into faggotry among others, they just can't help it.

It depends entirely on the general.

Same concept, didn't used to be nearly as prevalent. It's all newfags talk about these days despite actual shills being virtually nonexistant. I've seen shills. Virtually no one here is a shill.

We even have anons pretending to be shills just to keep this cancer alive.

Depends on the game, genius.

Try discussing the game in /xivg/, or any other game with the slightest hint of shitty waifubait and see how well that works out for you.

I see people here say /vg/ is like reddit.

Okay to sum up this thread

>/vg/ has some shit generals
>Sup Forums is shit in general

How long have you been here to not realise this?

the only reason anyone tries to have a meaningful discussion about games on Sup Forums is if there's no general for it on /vg/. Sup Forums is to /vg/ as /e/ is to /h/. you make a thread here when you know a thread there won't get enough attention or when you just don't want the full experience of something

People here say everyone and everything is reddit. It means little more than "I don't like thing".

Wise.

/vg/ is hit or miss. You have horrible cancerous generals like FFXIV general, then you have good ones like nepgen. It varies widely.

>nepgen
>not cancerous
Kill yourself, Frenchie

Nepgen is fine. You just have problems with the games themselves so you take it out on the fanbase

Sup Forums has been absolute dogshit since 2010, so yeah.

the only good general I've found on /vg/ is /tesog/

>everything I disagree with is Reddit
Everytime

>endless avatarfagging
>one foreign faggot who thinks he rules the board
>endless waifushitting
>role play and degeneracy
>zero game discussion
Superb bait, made me respond

Elaborate on what you think makes Nepgen bad.

/vg/ is for people who actually like video games, for all the good (actual discussion) and the bad (waifufaggotry, namefaggotry, circlejerks) it entails.

That being said as this place has gotten worst /vg/'s badness has more or less remained constant and easier to sort through.

Literally all that stuff is 90% gone except the waifu stuff, which is to be expected since Neptunia is a waifu series

But user, the game is all about waifushitting in the first place

You sure? They are just shitposting about the game they love, and becouse of the continuation a lot of autists accumulated who think that they own the board.
Dont go to /vg/, You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy

>/vg/ a good board
>no Story of Seasons general, but 2 fucking Fire Emblem threads and that god damn /ksg/ thread
Fuck that board

/vg/ can either be great or extremely cancerous

The problem is the /vg/ curse where a general will turn to shit no matter what after a year of it being around

I mostly use Rainbow 6 Siege general or STALKER general they both have their problems but its not the worse /vg/ has to offer

I never liked the fact that /vr/ and /vg/ were made. Retards bitching that they had to hide threads had to ruin video game discussion on Sup Forums forever.

Sure, it might be annoying to see the whole front page taken up by generals but there is no reason people couldn't have just hidden or filtered threads they didn't want to see.

Hell, they could have just introduced a "general" tag that you could check when making a thread, which would allow people to hide all general threads with a toggle.

/vg/ was a really bad solution for a minor problem. Sup Forums became a place for shitposting and Sup Forums culture memes

Go there every day and you should change your mind.

/vg/ is a containment board for obsession and repetition. These people simply cannot stop talking about the same things over and over again. At times it's the most authentically autistic board on Sup Forums.

This, more or less. It's fine as a resource but don't stick around long.

Fuck off back to SA you cunt

Genuine shills were posting on Sup Forums long before you. It's not a recent occurrence.

/vg/ should remove trips and then alot of cancer is gone

Sup Forums can have really good threads too even if they are sometimes plagued by the shill/shitposting autists like hollow knight and monster hunter

The mods need to autoban the goddamn word already

Just went to test your theory, and immediately got slapped in the face full of the same avatarfagging autists and the foreign spank fetish retard who can't help but plaster his stink all over the place. Thanks for that, now I need to go bathe in bleach to remove the stench.

this

/vg/ generals turn to shit becasue of drama and tripfags

Remove the trips the cancer will go down shit like discord or teamspeak can destroy generals though

This. They post the same thing over and over. It's quite bizarre.

They should bring back id's too, the samefags would have a mental breakdown

Post proof of genuine shills here. The only time i ever seen them were Sup Forums devs that were offering their game for free to test it out

Tripfags on /vg/ make it their personal goal to destroy generals

Then I wish them all the best.

You're full of shit. I'm on nepgen right now. Show me your post and the post you're referring to, liar.

As someone who's been from /vg/, I can definitely assure you that Sup Forums is right about this.

>Avatar fagging is insurmountable,
>Drama/bullshit that can easily be forgotten in every other board gets brought up over and over again due to boredom.
>Mostly consists of porn and shitposting, yet instead it becomes constantly reoccurring and stale
>circlejerking everywhere

There's a lot more to it, but I can gurantee that your better off being on Sup Forums then /vg/. At least the retardation here can be funny and varied.

Just filter it.

I don't have proof on me, and we've been through 3 or so archives over the years. Perfect Dark on XBLA was maybe the most noteworthy example, but there have been plenty of people caught endlessly posting variations of their shill threads over the years.

Sometimes there is wisdom in this shitheap.

>people on Sup Forums say that /vg/ is "containment board" full of "avatarfagging"
>actually go there to see it myself
>Every thread starts with the same picture
>Every thread starts with the same post
Its one of many but damn

Yes and no

Sometimes on /vg/ you find a diamond in the rough like Sup Forums

people just like talking about one game and you just dont get that on Sup Forums

Like /fit/ you only really need the OP in most cases

the rest of the thread is just random shit

Sup Forums used to be better than /vg/. the meme is just lagging behind the times

/d2g/ + esports is pretty much the best this alpacaback fencing guild has to offer

dota 2 general is a cluster fuck of esport circle jerking

Take a look at the Warcraft general on there and you'll change your mind real quick.

I don't think that would save much. Looking at /gsg/, generals aren't simply destroyed by single individuals. They are also destroyed by cliques. They have this certain methodology to posting, something like a "board culture" develops, and usually it is awful. Any violation of their posting methodology is spurned.

I don't see a solution to the problem.

It's falseflagging to keep Sup Forums shitposters away.

That's true. But it's also true that tripfags and e drama are a scourge on that place. You take the good
>playing and discussing with other people who are actually good at the game
>making friends with other meme spouting autists
With the bad
>tripfags and degenerates/traps causing non stop drama
>having to make friends with autists who can ONLY talk by spouting memes
I browsed /dg/ for over a year and enjoyed most of it besides tripfags.

>t. newfag

Sup Forums has been calling out viral marketing excessively for almost a decade

I mean the actual "fact" is that generals are destroyed because the desire to discuss things outpaces the actual amount of discussion a game can have and eventually there's just not much else to sustain a mostly 24/7 thread solely with game discussion so it becomes in-jokes, waifufagging, "general culture", the works.

But tripfags do speed up the process a lot.

Depends on the game, really. places like /nepgen/ and /feg/ are of course full of shitposters but other games (usually the western ones since weeaboos are trash) have decent generals. What's to expect anyway, the split essentially moved all the actual hobbyist discussion to another board so of course /vg/ has the comfy threads and Sup Forums just has shitposting and hatred.

the sad part is that /feg/ tries to not be cancer but the waifu fags just cant stand it and start messing shit up

/vg/ is usually good for launch week and month, but the quality of posts decline after that.

Sup Forums is just a place to shitpost honestly, but shit video game discussion is a bigger problem that Sup Forums imo. I'm not sure there are any places on the internet to have good, consistent video game discussion

I will give them that, they really do try. and people who aren't regulars like me try to come in and discuss the gameplay to make it better, but you just can't dent the waifufagging

The waifufagging gets especially worse when anons start waifufagging "Roleplaying" tripfags because of female characters.
I think I remember the GTAO general or the Skyrim general doing that

Ah yes, the skyrim general. what a shithole. I once went there hoping they could help with some questions about making mods, boy oh boy was I disappointed.

What happened

porn

porn happened

Porn ruins generals to be honest

>mfw I visited there to discuss enderal and I saw all the pictures of user-made custom waifus

I sort of just dropped that general after that since most anons were more interested in playing barbie with Skyrim

I was called racist in Greggs

Sup Forums is the Sup Forums for video games.

people on both Sup Forums and Sup Forums managed to find one agenda and use it for the rest of their lives. If somebody, a brave individual goes off from this one way others are going to attack that individiual. (Sup Forums jew, jidf, nigger etc, Sup Forums shill, marketer, cuck, redditor, bad taste etc.)

At /vg/ different ideas are welcomed, but you will never find such entertainment there like here.

Sup Forums is Sup Forums of video games

Is this bait? /vg/ is a terrible place to discuss any game.
It's just circlejerking in like every thread cause the same 50/100 or so people talk every single day, most of the time not even talking about what the general is about or shilling Discord rooms.

No. At least Sup Forums has it's own agenda.

Sup Forums is nothing more nowadays just a board for gay porn

That's /r9k/ and /soc/

Generals are circlejerks.

Can't tell what you mean by that so I'll give two answers based on how I think you might have used the question.

1) the porn, the waifus, just in general the people who use the modding scene to play as an attractive female to their tastes.

2), they don't know a whole lot about modding beyond the mods and tricks that play into playing the game as a porn game.

I think /vg/ are discussions that are game related

Sup Forums is just shitposting about what game fails and what console is succesful. it's very rare that anything besides the commercial aspect is ever talked about.

Most accurate thing I read all day.

Drink some coffee, user. Nothing you have said disagrees with what I said. I was agreeing with you and simply saying it is more prevalent now.

I agree.

The only place with decent tripfags I have ever experienced was the first year or so of /sci/ and maybe one or two tripfags on Sup Forums who do nothing but lurk and post mega links for episodes.

/meg/ is legit hyped for this game. Then again a lot of people that go to /vg/ are for some reason either pedophiles, traps, tripfags, attentionwhores or autists that have need to post some anime picture every five minutes

/vg/ is not bad, you just need to find the good threads.

Some threads have tons of circlejerking and waifuposting but others have legitimately good discussion, It's the only place where you can talk about certain games without getting the thread filled with retards who only came to the thread because they don't like the game of because they didn't play it but they wanted to post the latest meme.

All i see here are a bunch of newfags from reddit or/pol/ triggered that the majority of Sup Forums likes anime and who somehow think because there's a general from a game they don't like (its not like they play games tho) on /vg/ they start shitting on their keyboard.

>implying your bullshit wouldn't be revealed the instant you say which general you posted in

>I sort of just dropped that general after that since most anons were more interested in playing barbie with Skyrim
to be fair it's not like the game is good for much else

I tried getting involved with the elysium general when it came out (and before we knew everything we do now) and i swear there was more false flagging in that one thread than the entirety of Sup Forumss catalog at the time. And all the tranny circlejerking was degenerate and desperate as fuck. There was and probably still is no real discussion to be had.

/vg/ is good for western games, but the gens for JRPGS and MMOs are as unreadable as youtube comments. Reddit is LITERALLY better for ff14, monhun etc. And it's pathetic that those posters are so unaware of themselves that they will never realize they are GameFAQs tier

>Going to Sup Forums for technical questions

Come on user, you can do better than that. Next you'll tell me you ask Sup Forums for programming advice.

Sup Forums is for baiting turbo autists and 12 y/o into giving me (you)s

/vg/ is for telling retards the same shit over and over until the general implodes from trip and avatarfags

Kotaku is for video game discussion.

...

Was there a time when Sup Forums wasn't cancer?

even porn companies are doing DMCA shit on Sup Forums now

theres this picture of a thicc egypitan pornstar that used to get posted a lot and last I tried to post it, it auto warned me for copywright

General threads are boring.

/vg/ is good the fresher the game is.
Wait too long and all you get is autistic spam posters and tripfags using it as their personal chatroom - while advertising their discord at the same time.

These people deserve a lemon lines with razor blades under the ass.

You expect Sup Forums to ignore DMCA requests and be sued to bankruptcy? Do you even understand what a DMCA notice is?

TEST

It varies from thread to thread. Some games have absolutely retarded communities on /vg/.

As someone who frequents /poeg/, LMAO
