retro isn't decided by some numerical age
from your perspective, would there be a future time where ps4 is retro but PS5 isn't? I couldn't tell you the difference between the 2 consoles they're the same thing with many of the same games, it'd make no sense
ps2 isint retro its just /vr/ actually wants to talk about video games and Ganker wants to talk about trannies zoomers and porn
the wii, ps3, and Xbox 360 is gonna be on there to
I'm 35 and I say the PS2 is retro. Anything over 20 years old is retro imo. 20 is vingt in french, vingt age, vintage is 20 years. 20 years is the age of maturity. Retro isn't a pejorative term it's just something that isn't modern, there's no need to be upset about it.
Actually, it's both >Involving, relating to, or reminiscent of an earlier time
involving : Playing the actual ps2
relating to : Emulating a PS2 game on a recent computer
reminiscent of an earlier time : Playing a new game that looks retro, like a boomer-shooter.
>2d platformer >comes out in 2023 >label it retro >no one complains

Retro is a style it has frick all to do with age and you know it. Most people who agree with you apply it inconsistently, labeling fricking Undertale a retro game yet if I made a game based on Resistance: Fall of Man would be the first to complain about it being labeled retro.
100% this
Ganker is filled with autists unable to discern different styles so they think there must be some objective age where something becomes retro
You go into Steam right now and browse the retro tag, do you see games modeled after the PS3 and Xbox 360 era there? No, you see a frickton of MODERN GAMES made in 2d sprite style. Go fricking release a motherfricking Gears of War clone and call it retro and most people who AGREE WITH YOU, INCLUDING YOU, would b***h that it's mislabeled.
If a modern game can be retro and a 20 year old game can't, the same applies to consoles. You can't invent reasons to apply different rules to one then the other. That's mental gymnastics.
>retro isn't decided by some numerical age
It literally is you fricking moron. It's why the cutoff date for anything in /vr/ is 2007, and why the 7th gen was begrudgingly allowed there.

Dark souls 3 is the worst action and rpg ive ever played. Softcaps ruin the rpg, rollspam ruins the combat. Its a very well rounded shit game
Fromsoft died after kingsfield 4 and AC3, you zoomers have been worshipping zombie Fromsoft, just like zombie star wars, zombie type moon, zombie sony

out of the 3 DaS games alone
DaS has the most soul
DaS is the easiest, but the most polished, making this statement arguably correct.
DaS 2 is a clunky piece of shit with mediocre bosses
PS2 would be considered retro, logically speaking. It's like 20 year's old. 2 decades marks it as retro.
PS2 being the only console you need to sounds more like some sort of 90's kid sonyfanboy cope. or some pretentiouis zoomer pretending to be retro. could go either way.
DaS 3 is arguably the best of the 3 albeit the least charming.
>character customization is midtier ong. Only 3 gender options ain’t bussin >where are the BIPOC characters? >lmao iono what this story building Shit is but it’s boring af >where is the store so I can get at the dances and skins?
>[console i grew up with] is retro >[console i grew up with] is the only console you need >[game released within the past decade] is the best
hold onto what gave you that innocent happiness my friend
the first DaS is the most memorable and has the most charm, arguably best open world. aged like fine wine.
2nd DaS only + is the dual wield/weapon swing system can be creative, but that's it. the open world is mid. the bosses are all generic humanoids. the level design is mediocre at best, annoying at worst. B-team game
DaS 3 polished the formula, has a lot of content. only drawback is that it's a little easier that the other two (although all of them are easy anyway).
If you replay all the DaS in order you'll come to appreciate DaS 3 bosses more, because DaS bosses are barebones in mechanics, DaS 2 bosses are too basic, and DaS 3 bosses at least feel more like different bosses
a game should care about how it looks and sounds,
you would probably hate the person who added something that broke the entire art style of your favorite game.
3D games arent retro until we fully transition into VR. SNES,NES, Sega games and consoles were always 2D with the odd experimental games. When we switched from 2D to 3D thats when the older generation became retro.
Similarly if games move on fully to VR in 2300 it means the past console generations will also become Retro because the standards have switched.

Retro is a style and a timeframe.
A game can be in the "style" and "look" of how older games typically play, and there's nothing wrong with labeling that in the "retro style" category.
The literal definition of retro is past trinkets of yesteryear. A game system that is over 20 years old is not fricken modern. This is why by early 2030's the ps4 will literally be retro as well as all its games. Might not look or appear retro, but the release dates would confirm it.
>bro the ps3 isn't retro uhhhh >why? just because I'm mentally 12 still >despite the world has gone to shit and has gone through massive culture shocks >nothing today is similar to what was on that console for majority of it's life span
but yeah let's just ignore reality and time as a whole
you're not balding and you aren't a troony and you aren't a gay and if you haven't thought of the past any time recently and missing it
if any of these 4 don't apply to you then
sure go ahead live in denial
The PS2 is literally retro since it released 23 years ago.
Funny how nobody had a problem with avgn calling the NES and SNES retro back in 2006.
>avgn
who?
He’s the face of Onions drinks. Like the Jake from Statefarm but for onions

A game system that's over 20 years old is considered retro. In 10 years time the ps4 will also be considered retro.
delusional
anon? Is your head okay?
In 2033 the ps4 will be fricking retro. Like how the NES was retro by 2003.
You're not seriously going to consider the ps4 to be "modern"? In 10 years are you?
ESL and false dichotomy

If you want to get technical about it, the word refers to works derivative of the past, so PS2 will never be retro.

ps3 and Xbox 360 games are on vimms lair
So then what makes a system retro, smart-ass?
this wasn't apparent to you? lol
Gonna answer the question or just dodge it?
>retro isn't decided by some numerical age
It literally is you fricking moron. It's why the cutoff date for anything in /vr/ is 2007, and why the 7th gen was begrudgingly allowed there.
>what's retro or not is decided by some small board on an incel discussion website
As opposed to some random moron online that doesn't even know the definition of random?
It is decided by age. Also the difference between PS2 vs 3, 4 and 5 is cosmic.
CONSOOOM
>>PS2 is retro
>>PS2 is the only console you need
>>Dark Souls 3 is the best
Said no one ever.
The obsession Ganker has with zoomers is only outmatched by their obsession with trannies.
>old generation dumb
>new generation is even dumber and will cause the end of the world
>my generation is the smartest
Is a tale as old as time
Sheeeeeesh lil bro spittin facts no cap
This board use of ironic shitposting is far worse, hardly any genuine thoughts
>Literal ironic reddit posting
have a nice day homosexual
>t. seething zoomer troony and probably a botlib homo
>if you disagree with me you are [things i dont like]
low IQ thought process
Maybe we wouldn't be obsessed if they stopped ruining everything for everyone else.
How is them being a shit generation somehow now their parents fault?
What have zoomers done to you, mate?
Gaming is still made for millenials, who are still the primary audience
Fr fr. Salty smols w/ sus finesse. Mid vibe big yikes, channel e-boys.
True. In reality PS3 is retro

Sounds too based for a zoomer to say

I just think retro is 8 bit and 16 bit games
Retro is 2 console generations ago from the current console generations
