Is Sup Forums Sup Forums's video game board?

Is Sup Forums Sup Forums's video game board?

Where do I go to talk about video games without constant shitposting and streams of memes?

>Cant talk about Dishonored 2 because you can play as Billie Lurk
>Cant talk about Wolfenstein 2 because a black woman said "white boy"
>Cant talk about Battlefield 1 because there are female soldiers
>Cant talk about Far Cry 5 because it pokes fun at radical Christians

First day here?
Sup Forums's called Sup Forums 2.0 for a reason.

Neogaf
Reddit
Facepunch
IRC
BBS
Handwritten letters to close friends

It was never as bad as this
Since Gamergate this whole site has gone to shit

There is no such place.

This
Sup Forums is a terrible board, it's like going up to a car crash and trying to have an auto enthusiast discussion with the people there.

I hope you have a good group of friends who like vidya, because otherwise that place doesn't exist.

stop being a newfag, it was aways this shity, gamergate did nothing
is just a bunch of redditor faggots that cannot have fun on their site. so they come here to shit talk

Any of these, alternatively make a discord for your friends. Even /vg/ or /vr/ would be better. There is truly nowhere worse than Sup Forums.

It was bad for its own unique reasons before gamergate
Post gamergate Sup Forums is a mix of that plus a bunch of Sup Forums ambassadors trying to dump their sewage ideology into a sea of urine

Nah I've been here for twelve years and it has never been as shit as it is now

There isn't anywhere else to go.

>go to NeoGAF to talk about games
>get dogpiled
>people bring up forum posts I made ten years ago
>get banned for not agreeing with the moderators' favorite users

>go to Reddit to talk about games
>express opinion opposite to everyone else's
>get downvoted into oblivion
>make a thread about gaming
>thread gets removed because the mod's don't like the topic

>go to GameFAQs to talk about games
>realize everyone is half my age

Every single bad poster on every single art form/media board makes this same exact post and it really makes me wonder what led you guys to come here in the first place

>>go to GameFAQs to talk about games
>>realize everyone is half my age
Luelinks is pretty good desu.

If you can't think of something to discuss you should probably go elsewhere

It's mostly just because of E3. Not that it's usually good, but it's worse because shitposting is just at it's maximum right now. There are more images of lewd anime girls in the sticky threads than there are of posts about the conferences. It's the perfect opportunity to shitpost.

/vg/
/vr/

Why are you lying to yourself? You're not here to talk about video games.

projecting

It's a shame because E3 Sup Forums used to be comfy

It's exactly the same before

I'm not even embellishing

This x100

There's only less MPM (MemesPerMinutes) but way more video games

>It was always this shitty
Only people who are new or have forgotten think this.

Sup Forums used to be way more lighthearted and a lot of content was OC, laughing at other people/sites, shitting on bad games and being hyped for good games.

Now nothing is liked, OC is rare and Sup Forums only fights among themselves. Everyone posts with the mentality of "I'm posting to argue" and "I have to win!"

Want a civil discussion then go the fuck back to le-reddit.

But reddit is bad and Sup Forums used to be better than this

I am out of touch with Sup Forums as a whole at this stage and I genuinely want a way out.

I miss Moot

It's E3 this is meme time not discussion time dumbass.

>>reddit.com

this is the place for you my friend

Yeah

It's not even that OC is rare, it's that OC is genuinely frowned upon.

There was always the joke that there's "no fun allowed" on Sup Forums, but it's kind of become true, because we have to take everything fucking seriously all the time

It's not though. It used to be meme time, where we'd mock the presentations and how shitty games looked.

Now it's all identity politics, all the time.

The whole problem is shitty moderators. Literally all we need is to replace all the mods and janitors and get rid of all global rules except the age limit and the against U.S. law rule. If we were ALLOWED to post gore, fluffy abuse, pony porn and other degenerate shit, all the redditors and other such normalfags who come to this site because it's cool and edgy would leave, because we would constantly be spamming things that are really uncool, thus preserving game discussion

If it has an anime you can go to Sup Forums.

That's all I've got.

>Sup Forums used to be better than this
Key is Used To Be.

Truth is most oldfags abandoned this place to those who came during the gaia swarm. Those of us who stuck around now just endlessly shit post just to see you guys eat each other alive. You would be surprised how many oldfags are behind the "shill" movement you guys parrot, hell I know three of the guys who would be in Sup Forums during the abatap days.

The Cuckuning movement is ALL you guys.

That's the dumbest fucking shit I've ever heard and that's basically encouraging making Sup Forums into literally Sup Forums2.

We do have shitty moderators, but what they need to do is ban anyone making discussions into politics when they should be about videogames.

>Handwritten letters to close friends
Cursive or print though?

Yeah I need out of here

Maybe I could find a discord or something

I've been on Sup Forums for ten years of my life, but it's this E3 that's made me realise how much this isn't my place any more.

It's exactly the same when it's clear that mods aren't around, otherwise it's shit but with some nuggets of decency here and there, so long as you don't go in threads for games that are shit, divisive or have any association with any memes or political stuff.

Persona is the only game I've been able to discuss on Sup Forums without being banned

Cursive only to lovers and if you are at war.

Print almost always unless your an asshole.

I like to think that the only people who end up on this board are outcasts.

Like one time they said nigger too much or shitposted about Sony on Sonygaf and got dogpiled so hard they ran for Sup Forums. And here they were free to be as shitty as they wanted to, so eventually people who actually cared about their games got their wish and were split off to sub boards.

Whats left is Sup Forumsidya random. Its pretty fun if you come here to post porn or talk offtopic.

For certain games or genres (NV And rts's) it has some pretty good posting because the guys there realize they got nowhere else to fit in.

This is because video games aren't about having fun anymore, I guess.
Whatever you do someone will get triggered and mad about it, then you will get shouted at when you say you want to talk about video games and nothing else because you're obviously implying something bigger.

Sup Forums is pretty shit too though.

Well did the conferences bring up identity politics? I haven't watched any of them yet because last years conferences just made me want to die.

Videogames aren't important

Gameplay isn't important

The only thing that's important is the colour and gender of the character

Thanks everyone

Sup Forums is the best board on this site when it comes to actually discussing its subject matter

shut the fuck up cancer. Sup Forums already goes off topic enough with thinnly veiled fetish threads.

What we dont need is this board to descend into random with some vidya. Just look at Sup Forums, that place is a fucking porn board 24/7 despite being called random.

This place became an edgy polcuck safe space. Makes me actually yearn for the days of lanced jack or toady or avatarfags in general. I never would've thought it could get worse than them.

No they like things and TALK ABOUT THEM.

I blame phoneposting.

I was only here for a few months before gameegate but the site definetly got worse after that.

>been trying to quit Sup Forums for a few weeks
>can't get a hang of reddits subreddit system
>facebook is people posting a tonne of shit I don't care about
>nothing to do while games are loading
>nowhere to discuss video games
>come back
how do I leave this place
don't tell me to get an ssd so stuff loads faster

lol, Sup Forums was always filled with tertiary bullshit threads: TFW no GF threads, 4 am threads, dick threads, etc Anyone telling you it was good before GG is lying.

im so sick of hearing about politics
Im so sick of people whining about what race a character is
I just want to talk about gameplay
reddit is shit
neogaf is brainwashed
facepunch is everyone trying to be edgy
I cant talk to anyone

There was a black person in a video game

I'm in the same boat

I wish there was a place for us

there's a difference between Sup Forums and /vg/?

unironically this

Were they shoehorned in like in Battlefield 1?

Anyone who was here before 2014 can tell you that there was a drastic decline in quality after Gamergate.

Make one and don't tell the faggots here about it.

It was shit way before gamergate stop making shit up so you can have your gay little boogieman.

That sounds like the worst idea I have ever heard.

Me too user, me too. I'm about to just post a thread full of futa till they ban my ass. Fucking free me from this cesspit of insecurity.

reddit.
Sup Forums is where redditors come to shitpost without getting downboats

I'm thinking about trying to find a normie discord or something to hang out in but I'm too much of a cynical asshole thanks to years spent here

It might have been shit, but it was shit for different reasons. 2014 is when it really changed from complaining about gameplay to complaining about politics.

It was nazi infested America in the 70s and there was a Foxy Brown type character
People here also got butthurt about Nazis being bad

Found the filthy, subhuman niggers.

Try again kid

this, place was bad before but it only got worse since gamergate too many edgy teenager and retard came with it

>treats all other boards like they are Sup Forums with blank
>wonders why all boards are shit

REALLY MAKES ME THINK you fucking shitters

I know you're just baiting, but I don't understand the motivation when people post shit like that unironically.

Is it kids trying to be edgy? Is it contrarianism? I don't understand.

GFaqs skews older in my experience. Probably the best place to talk about games since Neogaf and Reddit are unusable.

Go try and post a fucking frog on Sup Forums I dare you.

please stop

Found the 9 year old

>Everyone posts with the mentality of "I'm posting to argue" and "I have to win!"
This is the only reason I switched from Sup Forums to here. Sup Forums literally became /s/ for idiots and Sup Forums is the only way to enjoy true shitposting now, although it revolves around gaming only.

You are literally lying. Its not even nostalgia. This place was not nearly as shit. The absolute worst it would get was console wars.

Dont worry user, someday /og/ will come. Only Gameplay.

I'm being serious. Before Gamergate, Sup Forums would laugh at feminists, but it wasn't an everyday topic. After Gamergate, identity politics take up half the fucking board. The mere existence of a black person in a video game spawns countless threads bitching about liberals and Jews. Sup Forums never complained about liberals before Gamergate, and only complained about Jews when talking about greedy companies.

How can you not use reddit? Subreddits are just user created boards essentially. If you want to discuss vidya without faggots everywhere like here, you're best off going there.

Not at all. Sup Forums was complaining about politics since at least 2012/2013. 2014 was the culmination of their frustration and then a bunch of newfags came and acted like gamergate happened out of nowhere and completely changed Sup Forums.

they're no frogposting but you'll not tell me that the level of discussion is high

It was mentioned. It wasn't everything, like it has become.

If the hotpockets actually did their jobs and deleted thinly veiled Sup Forums threads, marketing threads, and shitty bait threads maybe this board could heal. I can go on other boards and have decent conversations about whatever because people haven't been allowed to run wild.

Also, fuck those people who shoot down fine OC threads and continue to post their uninspired bullshit. You faggots are so afraid of becoming Reddit, but insist on reposting and gobbling up the same garbage like they do.

Most of that has nothing to do with gamergate and everything to do with the election. I really don't understand people's obsession with gamergate it barely changed Sup Forums at all.

>Can't talk about Battlefront II because woman protag.
>Can't talk about anything Microsoft because platform warriors.
>Can't talk about Assassin's Creed: Origins because "WE WUZ KANGZ"
>Can't talk about Anthem because TORTANIC 3.0.
>Can't talk about Beyond Good and Evil 2 because diversity pandering.

DESIGNATED SHITTER BOARD

I'd gladly talk about gameplay with you guys if E3 ever showed enough to form an opinion

wanna talk about the mario x rabbid gameplay?

holy fuck you guys easily fall for bait round these parts

This is quite possibly the worst place on the internet to talk about games. All these people trying to pretend Sup Forums was always this bad are just flat out wrong. It was always full of shitposting but at least the shitposting concerned games. It's just the rights outrage culture safe space now. No one gave a shit about female protags in games before gamergate now any new game with a woman or a nigger in it makes everyone hyperventilate until they are literally shaking with impotent rage.

I've been on there and I've posted a few threads like the Quality and 80s bad anime.

They're on point at least.

It's like Sup Forums where you show Wolfenstein and half the posts act like its the Trail of Tears for whites.

Also the fact there were BLACKED threads for vidya which went on for well over 500 replies when the intention was clearly not to talk about race in video games but shitpost WE WUZ KANGS until the janitors finally did their job.

This thread isnt about games either.

Its about the board.

And for years of posting on Sup Forums I've never seen meta discussions this salty and pining before.

Underrated post. What was the last oc this shithole made? The vermin battles were very reminiscent of old Sup Forums though.

Looks exactly like xcom with dumbed down mechanics and throwing
Not a fan honestly
Maybe there will be some redeeming feature but right now I'm really put off

I can use it, I just don't really feel like I can discuss shit properly like I can here. I'm way more apprehensive when posting and I don't really know what subreddits are any good and which are absolute shit.

I blame the election too. It made Sup Forumsfags louder and more obnoxious than ever.

I'm in the same boat dude. I'm nearly 30 and yet the majority of posters are more than likely aged 14-20. I'm tired of arguing with kids, there's just no point. It seems like nobody is actually interested in discussing anything, just like this guy said .
>Everyone posts with the mentality of "I'm posting to argue" and "I have to win!"

>Mods and janitors doing a shit job about squashing endless identity politics and Sup Forums shit.
>Report Sup Forums threads and they don't get deleted until they're 200+ posts in.
>Rarely see Sup Forums bans from on the Sup Forums ban page that aren't related to porn.
