When exactly was the point where Yea Forums went downhill?

Sonic 1-3 > Mario 1-3 (better graphics, more variety in gameplay, music, boss fights. the only thing is that the SMB games are less prone to glitches) but you're retarded if you think Sonic 4 is worth talking about or comparing to SMW.

I said better "overall," turbo-tard.

hold right to win

When everyone forgot trolling is a art.

Depends what you consider to be "Sonic 4".

Sonic and Knuckles was more of an "Expansion" and Sonic CD was more of a full game than it, so are we counting Sonic and Knuckles as Sonic 4, or Sonic 3 as Sonic 4 and including Sonic CD?

Unironically this. Gamergate brought a fucking plague of newfags, that somehow surpassed the faggotry of the previous wave of 2011newfags

Dark souls releasing was more important than Bloodborne releaseing

When nintendo tripfags started posting.

>NPC Wojak banned

excuse me?

Jannies delete almost every NPC thread now, i've gotten banned 4x for posting them regardless of my thread being on topic. one of my threads last week was deleted simply for mentioning NPC in the title

This site really has turned into an SJW shithole

smb 1 - 10 points

>pulled from the deepest crack on earth

Let me guess, your lard ass-crack?

you know it

pre-reddit wojaks and frogs were great though

When
>tfw no gf
started gaining momentum

Fuck Wojak

> Ocarina went from top 5 in 2008 & 2011 to not even making the top 10 in 2014
Jesus was the Sequelitis video THAT big of a deal?

Yea Forums is getting better honestly
I remember really hating this board during 2011 and 2014
I don't remember why it was so shit in 2011 but in 2014 it was obviously GG

the 2016 elections

When the Sonic fandom became old enough to use Sonic's world as fetish fuel.

2011.

No, it's just that there's a difference of 6 years between 2008 and 2014, where a lot of great games got released like Dragon Age Origins, Arkham Asylum, Red Dead Redemption, Amnesia, Limbo, Portal 2, Skyrim, Deus Ex HR, Dishonored, Hotline Miami, Last of Us, GTA V

Around 2007, when the normies got their smartphones and access to the world wide web for the first time.

Correct but in a wrong way. Post-GG jannie activity is what made Yea Forums complete garbage for a couple of years. Then they finally got bored of banning everyone and Yea Forums became what it used to be again, nu-faggots consider this to be a /pol/ invasion, but in reality it was just jannies stepping back from their extreme post-GG censorship. The normie invasion we've been experiencing for the past half a year is pretty bad too, but normies will learn and they'll assimilate in a couple of years. They think they'll change us, but in actual reality we'll change them as it happened many times before.

Here it is.
"no"

Yeah sadly this.
You're right too. But you do have to remember that when gg got banned here it still went on and quickly turned into something really quite embarrassing. Honestly if gg hadn't been banned here and if it didn't end up only being able to be discussed in the spergiest corners of the internet it might have died off quicker.

2016

Look. This isn't about Yea Forums. This is about when did Mario and Sonic go downhill. Mario went downhill with Super Mario Galaxy. Sonic is searching for his cool again. The Mario standard and the Sonic standard are interlinked. Without Sonic being cool, Mario games will be uninspired (see: Odyssey).

So, 20 years ago?

>where a lot of great games got released like Dragon Age Origins, Arkham Asylum, Red Dead Redemption, Amnesia, Limbo, Portal 2, Skyrim, Deus Ex HR, Dishonored, Hotline Miami, Last of Us, GTA V
the only good game on that list is hotline miami you faggot
the rest is mediocre or outright bad like the last of us and skyrim

It just showed Yea Forums's true colors, that this place was always filled with redditors. Like when people were making unironically those cringy US vs THEM pics with their favorite e-celebs and shit. You might think that "oh they just came raiding from other sites" but what if they were here on the beginning?

When I got here. You're all so jealous that I actually exist you won't pretend to be actual biological organisms anymore.

When ironic shitposting got rampant, there's hardly any unity now, it's just contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism
