I like mods but there's a tendency for modders to bloat their mods by adding lots of little poo poo that either don't matter or actively detract from the point of the mod. Like yeah this mod rebalances spells so the ones that are never used in vanilla actually have some value. It also lengthens the day/night cycle, adds heavily scripted bandit encounters to the roads, and adds tits to the sharks. I really just wanted the shark tits, you know?

Mods are awesome, but they should be a tool that extends a game's life past its vanilla lifespan, not a means to fix a crappy game. The Skyrim I play these days is closer to The Long Dark than it is to Skyrim. If RDR2 was as moddable as Bethesda games it would probably get several hundred hours of more gameplay in the next decade. As it is, I might replay it one day maybe.

I played a Saints row 4 mod where your character is naked and has a giant penis and it improved the game greatly on a fundamental level

Yeah the first time I played it through the intro where they climb the rocket to Aerosmith made no loving sense without it I think it was cut content I do actually think SR4 has a certain sense of joy in its stupidity that makes it worthwhile. It's not as good as 3 or 2 but it's a nice end to the series.

I've only played SR4 I loved it. That and Crackdown 2 (I heard 1 was better, never played it) were my favorite GTA clones, having superpowers just makes sense in a game like that

That's the difference between games like Rimworld and Stellaris versus basically every Bethesda-developed game You don't need to mod Rimworld at all but you start off hearing about nice UI and quality of life features and you're like "well why not I guess" and then you dip your toe into altering some basic features of the game just to change things up a bit and then eventually you're adding entire new biomes to the map and the ability to build nuclear reactors and designing a plutonium production line that powers your Obelisk of Nod style defensive structures to protect your ICBMs

The best mods are the ones that do a bunch of QOL things like fix UI problems or make them easier to navigate, or fix/change minor game problems. Sometimes an overhaul like a difficulty mod or something is cool. Titty mods and sex mods are really good at giving goons something to talk poo poo about

There was a mod for Skyrim which added a ton of interesting looking weapons and armor. All of which were Steel quality and sold by a single vendor in Whiterun. EDIT: Of course that was the only good looking weapon/armor mod Vic fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Mar 14, 2021 |

Counter Strike was a really good mod, as was the specialists until the dev killed their own creation with the 3.1 update.

Ya know everyone talks about how Peach and Bowser are probably loving but imo I think Mario and Bowser are the ones boning Kidnapping Peach is just the perfect way to get Marios attention, and he lets Mario beat him because it's part of their foreplay

We need a fallout game with a 1970s aesthetic not because I like it but because Im pretty sure I could listen to "Wichita Lineman" on loop for 200 hours and still like it.

Duck and Cover posted:I don't know why developers try when they can just use the free labor of modders. Basically Valve and Bethesda's business model for the last 15 years. You can sell mods now, but only if they can skim some off the top. Mods are good when they aren't creepy or being exploited by publishers. I completed MGSV 100% on PS4, but I could've saved hours on the PC version by using the Infinite Heaven mod to skip the minute-long helicopter ride at the start of every mission.
