So mods are disgusting over indulgent decadence?

Early Access: Work at the food factory.

So you're saying mods fill tge sandwich uo but fuck it up BIG TIME? Huh?

Games also looked like shit, controlled like shit, lacked online, and cost the same as games today. So...
RamenNoodleMan60565
If you play PC games very few have DLC. You just get free updates!
ILikeRespondingWithWillSmithGifs
I'm pretty sure it was all 100% original game and you need to find Easter eggs and or complete the game for extras.

HAHAHAHA - Bethesda

Mod 'till it breaks, install mods to fix the crashes, repeat

Frankly, we keep paying for it so they will keep making it. Companies recognize only the vote of dollars.

I have literally never played a game that didn't have DLC mandatory to get the whole experience, and I have no idea where the meme came from

Original game then was a bun with meat In it with nothing else. Sure it wasn't DLC but there wasn't as much content

I have around 70 mods installed in Fallout 4. Nearly all of them being immersion.

Same.

I have 187 mod and I can't get enough
TrumpRapesChildren
217 mods. Immersive gameplay mod. Enb. Trees with leaves. Seasonal weather. Dark ass nights. Feral ghoul outbreaks with mod where they 1hk.

Same and also Skyrim but that just goes unsaid.

Mine all broke when nuka-world came out and I havent wanted to fuck around with fixing them. ><

That is strange. Do you use nexusmod manager? That took care of everything and I didnt have any problems.
Arkvoe
And than there is a ark survival evolved: new, paid DLC out for a game that is still in early acces
Moegitto
That is literally buying gas before you have a car, I can't believe they did that.
ErrBodyHatesBenny
Oh wow I never thought of it that way. That's pretty bullshit.
AdmiralButtStuff
Ark is single-handedly why I refuse to do early access anymore.
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
What!? I think it's one of the best examples of early access...
[deleted]
[deleted]
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
Meh I don't even care. I spent $30 on the incomplete game and have enjoyed over 400 hours of it. Compared to most "complete" $60 games (1)
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
that don't provide even a 10th of that much entertainment time for me. I guess in my opinion the game has ample content to entertain so(2)
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
it really doesn't matter to me when they decide to call it "complete". (3/3)
abion47
AAA game publishers pull off increasingly bullshit practices specifically because people like you say "it's fine as long as the game's fun".
tallbo
When was then though?
Rapiecage
anytime before the dlc boom
UnknownSignal
Back when people used "nerd" or "bet he plays videogames" as insult I guess haha
FatBoobsDontCount
not now
ashleypomeroy
I say the 1990s. Once home internet took off it became acceptable to release games that needed massive patches - I'm looking at you, Unreal.
tallbo
But if you asked me if I would rather play the games from my childhood in the 80s and 90s or games today like Destiny which have issues 1
tallbo
I would choose modern games and pay 120 bucks a year or so for something like destiny DLCs over anything I had in the 90s. VG today are BEST
tallbo
Acceptable and almost necessary - the scale and complexity of the Unreal engine and netcode pushed boundaries.
porrages
I hate this meme. Yeah, some game devs are douchey. But games are 1000% better now than they were "then"
Mycologics
As someone who recently found his old gameboy again, yes. Old games are fun as hell but I look at uncharted and think: wow
Mycologics
My 6 year old mind would explode if I saw that back then
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
Games are much better, but back then we didn't have high expectations and bad business practices like micro transactions IN SINGLE PLAYER.
jeoffkrey
Yeah it's a pretty absurd concept to have to pay for money for extra lines, even if it's only a quarter or a tokens exchanged for real money
AdmiralButtStuff
So dont buy them. Seriously why are you even mad about that?
mrteagle
Cause people are self entitled.
Hannya
Debatable. Game quality hasn't necessarily improved. But better tech means more things are possible.
porrages
Game quality has improved, even if you just look at quality of life improvements like auto-saves, patching, intuitive UIs, etc.
Hannya
Again, debatable. Post release patches are probably the one objectively better aspects of gaming.
KayneArcheron
I also think the very existence of DLC creates the illusion that the game is "incomplete" from the get-go, when in reality if they said (1)
KayneArcheron
nothing about DLC and just released a game, people would claim how it's complete unlike other DLC'd games even if there was no (2)
KayneArcheron
difference between the starting content of the DLC game and the non-DLC game. (3)
KayneArcheron
(granted this GREATLY depends on the game in question, but I do feel people over-exaggerate how much of a game's content DLC fills up) (4)
porrages
The tricky thing about DLC is that the game is actually complete for months before release, so the team makes DLC in the downtime. 1/2
porrages
But the uninformed player thinks day-one DLC is held-back content, when it actually wasn't playable when the game went gold.
ThomasTheScrakeEngine
I have to disagree. Majority of games now are very shallow and have little to no depth (or content) beyond maybe the first 5 or so hours.
porrages
So you're saying the majority of games now are more shallow than the majority of games for... What console generation?
ThomasTheScrakeEngine
I would say somewhere between 2005-2007 is when games generally started to take a turn for the worse.
porrages
Some of the best video games of all time were made between 2005-2007 (check metacritic), what are you talking about?
ThomasTheScrakeEngine
I'm not saying games from those years were the worst, I'm saying that business practices and publisher-meddling (1/2)
EMallorn
So true. Too bad the mods are a sloppy mess.
JOHNTRON3000
Not fallout new Vegas, that game was built for mods, oh and a kickass story line

Thats why you get a mounter so you can take them on or off as you like and keep them organized.

① Just have to learn to mod properly. I mean, some are plug and play and you can get a tasty burger - but if you want a triple bacon

Yep. The dev hired that team specifically for that. Pretty cool I think.

There's mods for Xcom 2?
Mistycica
Steam Workshop is full of them. Kind of messy as there is no 'supermod' like LW, so you have to collect your faves yourself
Mistycica
On the other hand, .ini modding is a breeze now, so you can do your own tweaks if you like. Bam, more health and balatan, etc

If it's a Bethesda game, LOOT is great for that. It sorts the load order to minimise conflicts.

Love fallout 4 mods but most are pure garbage

some of them breaks the game's spirit quite badly

mybrothersmario
true, but I love having beautiful landscapes, I justify it by telling myself that they're variations of the plants that adapted to radiation
Wimpymind
arguably nothing after fallout2 is "in the spirit of fallout". To me at least, both 3,4 and NV were pale immitations, though NV was closest.

god I wish I had time for that game. Everytime I play I can go for a couple hours a day for a few days and then sidetracked.
wyatt8740
also minecraft, also all the games I play from the 90s.
Wastyvez
How could minecraft release DLC when it was an unfinished game relying on third party content for most of its existance.
Wastyvez
I forgot you can't ever say anything negative about Minecraft without pissing off the fanboys, even when it's pure facts.
Nietsallinav
I'd settle for facts at the very least, but if you have any pure facts, please, share with the class. Because it is a finished game.
exponentiallymusical
What do you mean? I'm playing Witcher with several mods right now?
cowabungapizza
I mean you pay $60 for a game that isn't a couple hours long, or an incomplete story that needs a $40 dlc pack to finish the game
exponentiallymusical
gotchya +1
zalan26
Some games are cool still but they still cost 4 times what they used to. Back when i started gaming games cost 20-30 euros.
alchemist12345
Sure, but games have come a long way since then, many AAA titles having budgets like blockbuster movies.
abrakadumbass
when i started gaming the euro didnt exist lol
magisch
That was the time when game technology was simple enough that a 5 person team could reasonably make a nice game in a year.
YlvisPls
I bet your currency was also worth a lot more back then as well.
kroppin
Mandatory comment about Destiny totally doing this
cowabungapizza
Yeah, they should have just scraped it after the main writer left, making it so they couldn't use over half of the story content. They just
cowabungapizza
Used what was left and said fuck it. That's the only reason I'm gonna buy destiny 2 since now they've had time to re write a proper story
kroppin
Same. Hopefully they dont butcher D2; I see a lot of potential but Ill wait until after to buy it. Did the same w/ D1 and waited till TTK.
alchemist12345
Most games dont do this in my opinion. It does happen, but gamers like to over dramatize things.
AntiWormMeasures
Most companies stopped doing exclusive bonuses due to backlash I think. But ~6 years ago? 100% true, at least for triple a titles.
IWearGreyontheOutside
Some companies are horrible about it though. I've stopped buying Total War games until the collectors edition comes out for just this reason
IWearGreyontheOutside
and I love Total War games, but I will not reward those business practices. No way, no how.
ThatBinaryGuy
people. people like to over dramatize things. Gamers arent a special breed.
iNeverPoopAtWork
Aw. :(
thorkild91
Gamers who end up obsessed about games and rant about it are the type of people who get obsessed and rant. So yeah. Those people
cowabungapizza
I defiantly don't think it happens as much as people complain. It's just it mostly happens on AAA games which have the most coverage
LockeLongmast
ARK released a paid DLC while still in early access.

This comment's on -1 as I type this, and I've got no idea why. ARK IS in early access, and it DOES have paid DLC."Oh but they're being 1/?

sued for $40m, they have to or they'll go bust" Don't give a fuck, that's no excuse, let them go bankrupt. That's the risk you take when 2/?

you buy early access. No different to investing in a startup company, then getting upset when they go bankrupt and you lose your investment3
