I think that if you find yourself modding/cheating out the design goals of the game, it just means you got a bad game. Or if not a bad game, at least the wrong game for the experience you wanted.

There's nothing wrong with fixing a bad game, if that's what you want to do

I don't care if people cheat in single player games. It's a rotten thing to do in multiplayer though, especially when the game involves direct competition.

Mods are an entirely different thing and they're so wide and varied I can't really pinpoint my opinion on them except to say that when I mod games I try to keep it to mostly quality of life stuff because I don't really expect a typical mod maker to balance things well, especially with those giant kitchen sink mods that try to do way too much.

I've seen a lot of posts on these forums that amount "get this game, however mod/cheat away basically 100% of what the game is about" and every time it just makes it sound like that person is a stupid rear end in a top hat.

I think you're confused about something because riding dinosaurs is a core feature of ARK regardless. It is inherent to ARK whether you're involving mods/cheats or not.

If you added a funcitonal UI, fan patches, and a brighter pip-boy light to New Vegas you aren't a true gamer :smuggo:

That wasn't a good game, but I enjoyed it anyways. It was a drat shame they went from a single player campaign to a generic multiplayer shooter though. I really enjoyed their aesthetic and ability to mimic the feel of ww2 propaganda, but shifting from singleplayer gave that stuff a lot less impact.

Listen I think ya'll really reading too much into my using the word "gamer" during the post. I could have just ended it with the word "terrible" and it would be same message. You're getting really hung up on it so I think you're interpreting something that wasn't intended.

I really just that imo, modding or cheating away the entire spirit of a game seems bad. That's really it lol. I modded New Vegas. Modding New Vegas is good. I don't know how you read my post as "mods are bad" but that's really wasn't the point.

As everyone knows the best way to enjoy The Sims is to respect the spirit of the game and never ever give yourself a million dollars just to gently caress around with, that would be cheating.

You're not being mocked for saying gamer by the way, people are doing it because it's probably up there in the top 10 or 20 winning posts of this thread. Congratulations, you are the proud owner of a true unpopular opinion.

Ahaha you can't really expect me to have an answer to that.
Undertale and other crap games? Sure I may have played those.
Don't assume for even a second I'd play a titty game like Hunie Pop though.
Really, I'm offended you even asked.

In fact Rimworld is the only true Harvest Moon, as it allows you to harvest people and you could hypothetically be doing that harvesting while on a moon

The best harvest moon game was that dumb hl2 map I played with friends at lan parties where we had to occasionally defend the crops from ant lions and could kill each other by pushing someone into the tank fo the sprinkler system and then starting it up with them inside.

E: Oh and you could buy the raven hold sign and Mr. Bucket, which would absolutely play the dumb song from the ad, those were a vital part of the experience.

There's the alien vs predator games I guess. Alien is a kind of yucky dinosaur.

I like the idea of shooting a shitload of rampaging dinosaurs but yeah it's hard not to feel like an rear end in a top hat because it's just mass murdering animals when you think about it.

Clearly they will have to be like, summoned by an evil sorcerer so they're not real or maybe a guy finds dino eggs then genetically engineers new versions designed just to kill with no sense of pain and unending anger so they're better at killing.

Breath of the Wild fucks me up because I'm used to Zelda games just saying "No, you can't go here yet. Why are you even trying, you idiot?" Then in BotW I can go almost anywhere unimpeded, which means I'm constantly second-guessing if I'm doing the right thing.

Late era Ridge Racer (6/7/Vita) boost mechanics were extremely cool and good both in providing an extra layer of strategy and luring you into an ever scarier risk/reward feedback loop, especially once you started unlocking parts that changed how the meter was filled like the 'it'll only charge when you're on boost' one where you'd constantly be going through the scariest corner on the track at 200mph, sideways. I hate how the only way they'll ever make another one is if someone else basically commissions them to like Sony with the Vita game (which also ran like poo poo, as opposed to RR7 holding a solid 1080P60 on the drat PS3).
