Defend what? /v/ is what everybody is really thinking, Redit is hugbox where people post only to get that sick karma.
>>323159628
I can't, this place is shit and we hate video games.
I'm here because I can't leave.

>/v/ is actually fun
>/r/games is boring no_fun_allowed
>/r/gaming is full of le witty xD snarky posts
>>323159628
Reddit is best place for games in the world, game developers come there to ask gamers opinion on games, reddit finds all the bugs that get fixed etc; meanwhile /v/ sucks Gaben's dick and does console wars all the time. /v/ only has some good nostalgia/old school threads because there are people older than 15. Young kids never played those games so they shitpost in threads about newer games since those are the only ones they know anything about.
>>323159740
>/r/gaming is full of le witty xD snarky posts

imgur is the exact same. I hate it. They kill their own memes faster than reddit ever could.

This is the doing of reddit.
>>323159740

>>323159628
I don't come to /v/ because I give a damn about games, I come to /v/ for the community.
>>323159628
I like /v/ because of how absolutely dumb this place can be.
Other boards I've posted just don't allow the kind of nonsense that goes on here. System Wars on Gamespot was great for a good time, though, but not anymore.
>>323159628
You're a cherry-picking shitposter?
next.
>>323159628
>people use reddit in the same way that people use /v/
how? I went there once because some game devs answer questions there. the entire layout is horrendous for trying to talk to someone.
>>323159925
The quality of /v/ is so poor because of the constant background noise of redditors that think they are ebin shitposters on the 4chan.
hth senpai
>>323160602
If you aren't having fun, why are you here?
Reddit: where dumb people act smart
/v/: where smart people act retarded
I'm not here expecting intellectual discussions

I'm better than all of you.
>>323160881
>/v/ is shit because of reddit
You are very delusional if you believe that
Might get shit on for this buy if you avoid /games, /gaming or any of the real big sub reddits you can can get some decent conversations going on.
>>323159628
Wait.
*This* is Reddit?

Stop ignoring the threads with actual discussion and problem solved.

you can be a fedora faggot and talk about how reddit has more "mature" discussions all
day but the fact is 4chan is infinitely more entertaining and fun to browse.
im so hard
>>323159990
imgur is cancer, the people there are cancer and borderline retarded or just plain brainless.
Fuck I hate that place so hard. People there need to be fucking smothered by their own fucking hugbox.
I like being here, your image is cherry picking as most are, and I don't give a shit about Reddit, I just enjoy myself here.
>>323161128
I didn't say I enjoy the community, I said that's why. Why are you here?
>>323161291
I wholeheartedly accept this.
>>323161291
Nice meme. This is just what people who pretend to hate this place say to themselves.
>>323161291
I fucking love being here. Nothing like catching a late night comfy thread or stat up a conversation about some old games.
Just like real vidya, stay away from threads that are about big AAA games and stick the the smaller more friendly threads
>>323159628
I dont now what i should defend:
The first comments on a big thread on /v/ are always shitty because
>FIRST
and the comments get better and better with tme.
I bet you could find the thread in the old archive and you would be amazed how many good comments you would find.
>>323161282
Poor lobster.
>>323159628
Okay!
1. News threads constitute <1% of content from both sites.
2. Reddit is otherwise full of unfunny gifs and even less funny puns based on the gifs, while 4chan has...other stuff.
3. When news DOES happen, the first place I go is /v/ so I can talk it over honestly with bros, not whore myself for upvotes with an attempt at wittiness.
>>323159925
Well, their upvote system lends itself pretty well for gathering feedback/most popular opinions or tracing the most severe bugs and so on. I can definetely see that.
I remain convinced that the anonymous chaos on here is a better platform for individuals to express their opinions.
It's just that you very rarely see convincing examples of that - and certainly not on /v/
>>323159628
Reddit is not an imageboard, 4chan is.
comparisons are not apt or wise.
>>323161437
>stick the the smaller more friendly threads
also apply to boards my friend.
>>323161594
Truth, most of my time is on /k/ /out/ /ck/ and /o/
>>323161437
this t.b.h
>>323161572
I agree, and the fact there's little continuity between threads here and the short life overall doesn't lend itself to progress in regard of games. The generals are little better but still not enough.

thx mr burns
/v/ and reddit are both 90 percent hivemindy shitposting. The difference is that /v/ doesn't pretend not to be.
There's some pretty decent in depth discussion to be found on the more obscure gaming subreddits but circlejerks form in real time and discussion is still tinged with a certain noticeable attitude. Something about the way redditors write makes me gag, i dunno
>>323160128

>Reddit, meet <IRL thing based on entry level gaming shit>
><zelda reference>
>Hey reddit, look at this AWESOME and EPIC thing that my SO totally did for me, it totally wasn't me who made it!
><mass effect reference>
And the rest of reddit is a bunch of pseudo intellectuals typing out paragraph long armchair analysis on some extremely obvious thing that could be said with 3 words in a greentext, astroturfing and dad gamers who defend cancerous anti-consumerist practices and have no clue about anything.
>>323159628
>reddicucks can't display no passion for the things they like or otherwise they'd get downvoted and banned
>>323162084
He's right though.
What happens on reddit when you dislike something the majority likes and you just try to state your points? I'm guessing massive downvoting? It's like light cencorship then.
>>323163540
Don't forget how if you use ANY mean word you get instantly downvoted, people go after your post history until they find something bad and use it against you when they can't refute what you said and if you want to criticize something you have to go way out of your way sugarcoating your post with as many euphemisms as possible and practically begging for forgiveness beforehand. Oh and you also have to include the mandatory "I'll probably be downvoted to hell and beyond with this" before typing out your sugarcoated rant to trigger the contrary effect.
The only place that is worst is neogaf.
>>323163603
no /v/ is more like
>people of average intelligence pretending to be smart people pretending to be dumb
>>323160128
>no consolewars
Reddit can't seriously believe they invented this, right? People have been arguing about consoles for thirty years
>>323164131
Not to say 4chan existed two years before Reddit and we probably had console wars here back then. I think so, at least, I am a relative newfag.
>>323164350
there has been consolewars since the fucking first 2 consoles have been released
>>323159925
and why are the game developers ignoring their actual customer base? such as on their official board
>>323163771
Actually you can be as rude and shitposty as you want as long as it agrees with the hivemind. If you respond to a well stated unpopular opinion with a your mom joke you'll be upboated.
Middle and right are misinterpreting information
I'd rather doge shitpost than that
ITT: redditor scum gets buttblasted
I come here once a month to see if anything new has happened in gaming otherwise I stick to other boards. 4chan contains the dregs of humanity but /v/ contains the retarded dregs.
>>323162000
Are you retarded?
Not having to deal with hugboxes and people sucking the dicks of forum VIPs are the reasons why I came here in the first place.
Up- and downvoting is the extreme antithesis to what I want from a board where people exchange information and opinions, especially when it comes to my favorite pastimes, video games and porn.
>>323160128

Yeah right, 4ch is ALWAYS sorted by oldest first. Try that with your precious circlejerk and you see even shittier content.
Shit, I mean I like /v/ because you faggots give it to me straight and know how to have a laugh, and it doesn't matter if i've been here a day or a decade, i'm treated the same. That's something nowhere else seems to be able to do.

Yesterday we had a thread where OP made a very poor choice of words to start his thread, which resulted in us singing the entire DK rap over the span of an hour and 450 posts. I don't think I've ever seen something near as ridiculous or fun on Reddit before.

>>323159628
Reddit is where dumb people act smart

If you have EVER had an account on Reddit, more specifically if you have one at this very fucking moment, you should get off of 4chan immediately.
No one wants you here and the fact you ever made a Reddit account probably means you're an underage fag who wasn't smart enough to know about better internet communities until you saw someone get called out on it from a YouTube comment or some shit.

Why the fuck is /r/4chan a thing? I could understand if they took certain posts to mock, like what people here do when Kotaku writes a retarded articleinb4 GOBERGOOKbut they're just looking at posts from one site and commenting on them through another community. Are they scared to actually come here?
>>323168974
You can leave whenever you wish to, you just don't want to.
Stop bitching.
>>323169348
Bringing the progress to society as whole. Normies are good at executing small work, but not making big concepts that push world in right direction.

>>323168974
that's what we all want... that's it... what we want...
>>323159628
So? r/anything is just a forum with a shitty layout. You make an account and you act smart for likes. /v/? Who the fuck cares what you post, it'll be gone within the hour unless it's about tile patterns.
>>323169452
then what is the "world" to you? who is it that is to benefit when it gets better?I pretty much agree with you, but I think each and every one of their lives is holy and should not just be tossed around as though they were nothing. Much happiness and much of life can be found among the normies.
>>323169402
No, he's right; There's some sort of pull that keeps me coming here. I'll get home from work, planning to do something productive, but instead I just go to the catalog and just start browsing threads. I feel like I'm missing something if I don't come here, and I fucking hate /v/ from all the years I've wasted on this board.
>>323167686
Give them somewhere to leave a comment...
>>323169896
Enough.
Its your decision to stick around and its your decision to keep indulging on it despite you knowing you shouldn't, you have no reason to complain if you do this voluntarily.
You do this because you want to, if you really wanted to stop, you would have already.

I'm pretty smart(phd in mathematics) and I bother with /v/, mainly for falseflag posting. (You)s are better than sex.
>>323161565
This desu senpai. If your post isn't either the first or formatted to pander to retards, you're not going to get any conversation on reddit. /V/ on the other hand lets you spout your opinions whether or not other people want to hear them. Anyone active in the thread can easily find and reply to your shitpost
>>323169390
If they just talk about it on 4chan, their discussion is lost in the ether. This way they get to reap sweet karma while conversing in a safe space about those whacky and wild memesters on 4chan.
>>323159628
/v/ doesn't give a fuck, and if you're shilling without good arguments or just being a braindead fanboy, it will also shit on your head.
The biggest fault of reddit is that it favours circlejerking and silences opposing opinions with all that voting crap, up to being directly banned because mods are power tripping assholes.
Be glad /v/ is what it is, especially the way things are going.
>>323169390
Remember when Moot added /s4s/ as a parody of Reddit's SRS board? It was meant to be an April Fool's joke, but the Reddit invasion loved it so much he kept it.

>>323171637
Mathematics is mainly for engineering, physics, teaching, and dicksucking. Though you do need a good head on you if you want a PhD in Mathematics.

>>323173845

>>323167713
No, I just go to 4chan, and Youtube to look for music or some gaming videos, without a faggot talking on them. And random porn sites and Smash ladder I guess.I only go to reddit every once I want to shill something, and it doesn´t even gives me results and I always get a lot of dislikes with at max 50 to 100 views. Somehow here they actually like the shit I do more, or at least respond with an actual critique of the thing I do.
Reminder that posting about how better other internet places like Reddit, Funny junk, tumblur or whatver faggots here use, is just a meme that originated back in the first days of 4chan. This place may not be the best, but its overall pretty great.

>>323159628
It's all the same people, /v/ are all the fags that sound like retards on Reddit and rage that they can't spew retarded bullshit without getting their opinions ignored and called retarded because they have the arguing capacity of a 4th grader. 9gag, Reddit, 4chan; its all for normies now. Why do you think Hotline Bling is a meme? That's how normal 4chan and Reddit are now. And this is the bottom of the barrel.

Nah, their cancerous behavior can be explained pretty easily:
Their screenshots comes MOSTLY from /b/
Because of that, they thinks that /b/ is how 4chan as a whole works. They think it is acceptable behavior.
>>323176443
On 4chan, no one knows your really 14.
>>323176632
It is how it works as a whole. /v/ is /b/: video games
>>323177107
/v/ doesn't represent 4chan anon. There are more than /v/, /a/, and /b/.
