Tell me, anons, what's difference between /v/ and /vg/?

/v/ has shitposting and /vg/ has circlejerks. Pick your poison.

>>321121390
/vg/ is circlejerk haven for namefags and cancer
/v/ is circlejerk haven for memes and shitposting

That's about it, they're both pretty loosely about video games.
>>
It's ok to shit up /v/. Shitting up /vg/ is kind of rude.
>>
>>321121509
Which is less autistic?
>>
/vg/ is the same group of people talking about the same things for months on end devolving into namefag circlejerks

It's about the same.
Although at least you can filter namefags on /vg/.
But you can also filter pure autism threads on /v/... so really whatever floats your fucking boat anon.
>>
/v/ is hyper critical of everything
/vg/ is where redditors go to talk about their favorite games once /v/ has abandoned their series.
>>
>>321121708
That seems like a /ksg/ thing. Namefag circlejerks never particularly became a thing in the general I lurk.
>>
>>321122319
they're disgustingly common in the aa2 general

So why they're two boards instead of one?

Because /vg/ is a containment board.

For months you literally couldn't discuss anything on /v/ besides LoL (which was just eceleb shit), SC2 (which was about kpop drama queens) and KrippleFucker2012. Any other thread got shifted off page 10 in a blink to make space for yet more chaining LoL/SC2/KS threads.
>>
>>321123497
Because generals flood a board badly without it's own to occupy them. /v/ used to be /lolg/ #Whogivesafuck before /vg/ existed.

/vg/ appeals to reddit users

every thread is its own /____/ and as such is its own little subreddit

literally gay people post there

if you go to /lgbt/ it actually forwards you to /vg/

>source: I've been on /v/ since 2005
>>
>>321121390
A few people in /vg/ actually talk about games

Yeah, i know, i was surprised too.

Some generals are far, far worse in this regard than others. Half the generals are weeb shit that I've never even heard of, no idea what the posting culture in those is like but I imagine it can't be good.

Honestly, the only general I've frequented that has very little drama or shitposting is Mount & Blade general. Though the tone there is getting more depressed with every month that passes with no Bannerlord release date.

/v/ is /b/ with video games and slightly less facebook

/vg/ is reddit 2

Those were really dark times. It's actually surprising that we went as long as we did without a /vg/ board. Somehow people knew not to shit up the board with "generals" before LoL, KS and Kpo--I mean SC2--got big.

What's even more surprising is how long pokemon discussion was permitted on /v/. That was a boiling frog scenario for sure; pokemon posters were always insufferable.

Not newfag, just moving to boards I've never known before
>>
>>321121390
/v/ is a board dedicated to the general discussion and enjoyment of video games. /vg/ is the elephant graveyard of /v/- a place where threads go when they've lingered too long and finally succumb to namefaggots and circlejerking.

Is this a moe thread?
>>
>>321121390
/vg/ generally talks about video games outside of the esportfag generals and /srg/
/v/ talks about people who talk about video games. also ebin console wars and metashit like this thread
>>
>>321125521
places like /feg/ existing already make /vg/ ten times worse than /v/
>>
>>321125623
/feg/ has a few people devoted to shitting it up, I know this because it gets linked from other generals constantly in an attempt to stir shit

/v/ is more fun


Videogames themselves is boring to talk about, videogame news and banter not so much

Play them is fun tho


Imagine talking about Basketball the sport itself rather than what goes on in the nba, only thing interesting are memories and ideas
>>
>>321127476
Have you ever gone to /vg/? The majority of the generals about a game that has an esport is like 50% esports and 50% game, which is normally changing due to updates. Only if a multiplayer game doesn't get updates does it get a truely terrible general.
