Mods exist solely to make bad games good.
The worse the game, the bigger the modding community, and the bigger the modding community, the more degenerates it will attract.
So you can tell the quality of the game by how many fetish mods it has.
There's a time-frame cut off. The old the game, the less shit it is. Those are both games, from before modding really took off. When the people making mods, where the hardcore nerds, doing it because they loved the game.
Now, the mod scene is full of normalgays, lgbtgays and furgays.
indeed, old chap - I fondly remember the immense modding scene of Superman 64, Brink and vampire Rain!
the attached photographic picture is not related to this conversation, it's purpose is to smooth ones eyesore caused by seeing the hogwash you've posted
unless mods address blatant developer oversights or mistakes (i.e. mods that add pride flag options) then they are mostly pedo bait or damaging to the original artistic vision, and should be disregarded.
I'm pretty sure it was a visual design lead who got the job because he was friends or family with one of the higher staff, and there wasn't enough time to go back and fix anything
Modding really wasn't even that big of a thing until bethesda games came out with their modding tools and then suddenly now every single game has a modding "community"
You’re a fricking idiot and underaged. id games and Half-Life had enormous modding scenes before Bethesda was even noticed by anyone other than DnD nerds.
There's nothing to refute because that's just an observation, not an argument. "The mods don't follow the artist's vision" isn't an argument by itself.
>mods change the original vision maaaaan
Yeah that's the whole point. It's a mod. The word mod literally means modification, are you an infant or something?
Except nowadays mod community IS the artist vision without the cute anime girls and a lot of rainbow shit AND you can't remove it because modding shits remove the means to remove lgbt shit.
>You can't refute this. Mods are a-ACK
How does it feel, being a moron? Mods, romhacks, indies is where videogames truly shine. It's been like that for more than 8 years now. I wouldn't expect a consoleturd to understand that.
>still the same shitty r1 l1 l1 l1 l1 r1 l1 l1 l1 l1 clang clang clang combat but enemy combos are now 10x longer for minimum interactivity
Case in point.
Counter-point: Videogames aren't art, and developers aren't artists. If you make a piece of shit, I will change it as I see fit to humiliate you. Bonus points if your boss sees a mod do something you said was impossible and you get fired, you incompetent sack of shit.
Pretending to have some kind of issue with the very concept of mods is peak Ganker schizophrenia. It's like going on /tg/ and shrieking unsolicited opinions about a TTRPG that you don't even play- no reasonable human would do it, but here we are, having this conversation. It's like you have an ulterior motive or something
>I-is that somebody modifying their own copy of the game that in no way affects me or my own copy? >AAAAYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII >SHUT IT DOWN >BAN ALL MODS
why are prudes like this?
I save mods for a second playthrough or if I disagree with the intention of the author (ie lore breaking changes, diversity, intentionally making a character ugly)
I'll take a good joke over pretentious shit
strawman fallacy, I believe

So I guess Doom and Half-Life 2 are fricking awful games then
Well yeah, have you played them?
that's a level of douchebag contrarianism i wasn't prepared to handle

Go to bed Todd no one will fix Starshit for you

Just give us Underaged Panty Quest VIII and nobody gets hurt.
Is this a real game?
why don't you Google it and find out?
I wanna see the artist who calls the oblivion potatofaces his vision
I'm pretty sure it was a visual design lead who got the job because he was friends or family with one of the higher staff, and there wasn't enough time to go back and fix anything
Modding really wasn't even that big of a thing until bethesda games came out with their modding tools and then suddenly now every single game has a modding "community"
Yeah who ever heard of mods for Doom and Quake. Totally wasn't a thing until Skyrim.
I said it wasn't that big of a thing, not "it wasn't a thing at all" you raging pussy.
You’re a fricking idiot and underaged. id games and Half-Life had enormous modding scenes before Bethesda was even noticed by anyone other than DnD nerds.
>NOOOOOO DOOM MODDING IS HUGELY POPULAR AND EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT PLEASE BELIEVE ME
I Don't Care
>I don't care that I'm wrong
You're still wrong though
Yeah Doom mods were never big. Who ever heard of a huge total conversion scene for Doom that still has a general thread on /vr/ right now? I haven't
Battlefield 1942s mod community was huge. You're simply incorrect.
Blow me, homosexual
There's nothing to refute because that's just an observation, not an argument. "The mods don't follow the artist's vision" isn't an argument by itself.
maybe the artist should have envisioned some anime girls huh did you ever think about that, I bet you didn't
>original vision sucks
>modded version still sucks but at least there's anime girls
yeah sounds about right
now do it with localizations
>mods change the original vision maaaaan
Yeah that's the whole point. It's a mod. The word mod literally means modification, are you an infant or something?
stay mad
>original is ugly and gloomy as shit
>modded brings back the fun and cute anime girls
a tale as old as time
western games are anti fun, they have some good points but shouldn't be allowed to make full games, just rough designs that a japanese dev has to vet
Are you going to take away my God-given right to frick with the contrast and saturation in my media player?
What if I don't give a shit about the "artist"'s vision?
fixd
Which game though?
Left 4 dead
darkest dungeon
>western mods
poc's and homosexuals troonoids
>east mods
coomer girls and cool weapons
Except nowadays mod community IS the artist vision without the cute anime girls and a lot of rainbow shit AND you can't remove it because modding shits remove the means to remove lgbt shit.
top souless vs bottom SOVL
you don't have to install every mod, or even popular mods
sincerely a skyrim modder
dang i wish i put a trex in my edit.
are you the one who modded his old guy into another bikini b***h?
breasts are too small for a Skyrim mod.
It's an ATF mod, you wouldn't get it.
Stop talking about the site
Oh you are quite right my fellow completely normal internet user unaffiliated with any governmental agency.

>more than 8 years now
Holy frick, you need to be 18+ to post here. They were modding games, before you were born.
My point is not that mods are recent, you should learn to read. I was saying that they're now the only way to actually enjoy modern videogames.
>still the same shitty r1 l1 l1 l1 l1 r1 l1 l1 l1 l1 clang clang clang combat but enemy combos are now 10x longer for minimum interactivity

How else will I play San Andreas unless it's staring Mario, master chief, Ricky Bobby, and 2B?

>modless
I honestly feel bad for these lonely broken people who lost the joy in their lives and have to put porn in everything to feel anything good
Mods are fine
Tranime was a mistake
Based and true. 99.999% of mods are just coomer shit. Not worth your time.
Imagine being a low T zoomer.
Life must be terrible.
Bottom looks more fun, which is why I play vidya in the first place.
Mods are awesome. You just choose to play shit ones.
1. Fan-restoration mod
2. Original
3. Official Remaster
What's her name, Ganker?
Every fricking Final Fantasy Remaster.
Heroes of Might and Magic 3
Dark Souls
When you know how antichristian the world is, you realize this painting was sabotaged on purpose
Grand Theft Auto

Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate 2
Planescape Torment
KOTOR 2, if a third studio picks up the KOTOR remake now that the studio is dead.
I don't really care about the "artist's vision", if I want to frick off and have fun or have a laugh, I will.
>STOP HAVING YOUR OWN FUN
I don't mind people modding their singleplayer games at all, multiplayer games however...
>I-is that somebody modifying their own copy of the game that in no way affects me or my own copy?
>AAAAYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
>SHUT IT DOWN
>BAN ALL MODS
why are prudes like this?
Because they play on consoles, and hate that PC Chads keep winning.
Sure, I can still paint my car blue if I want to though, I should be able to alter a game too
>Sure, I can still paint my car blue if I want to
Not if you own a Ferrari
The only truely wrong thing is banning mods that you don't like. This should be about total freedom
If a game doesn't have anime girl mods, I'm not playing it. Simple as.
What if the "artist's vision" sucks?
don't get the game at all, don't support shitters.
>game sucks
>"hmmm I should buy this so I can mod it"
why.
What if I pirated the game, then?
I really don't get why some devs insist on stupid filters to make their game look dusty/old/dark
Remember folks: israelites are trying to forbidden mods. They are pushing a psyop to make people dislike them.
I like having fun and it's not like I don't play the game unmodded at least once, unless the game is shite of course
>NOOOOO STOP MODDING YOUR GAME, BUY OUR DLC INSTEAD
No.
.
Your argument relies on the fact that game developers know what they're doing.
I save mods for a second playthrough or if I disagree with the intention of the author (ie lore breaking changes, diversity, intentionally making a character ugly)
Also this assumes video games are art
