i never use mods or do story dlc that has to be bought, if its not in the base game then it doesnt belong there, and it just feels fucked up to pay extra money for a little bit of content. it just feels like getting cucked from content by devs. bonus stand alone story missions are even worse its like "hey pay us some money to play for 2 hours this rehashed asset where you don't even get to use your trained up character"

the only exception being multiplayer mission based games like l4d2 or payday where its replayable content with different difficulties

I am dedicated to vanilla games. I played TF2 on the 360 for 1800 hours. Then I switched to PC when they updated the 360 version.

Strangely, the only thing they updated was allowing class restrictions, so nearly every game was 8 engineers vs. 8 engineers on 2fort.

I've played every single Bethesda game (well from Morrowind onwards) vanilla for more than a hundred hours each.

When I do mod them, it's usually very light stuff, like UI changes and maybe hunger/thirst mods.

Fuck people who use mods on a first playthrough.

You should play the game normally the first time and get an understanding on if the game is actually good or not.

I'm sick of people who claims a game like fallout/stalker is great, and then go off to talk about all the mods they used when playing it.

You didn't play the actual game. You view on it doesn't matter in the slightest. You can't vouch for if the game is actually good, nor if the developers are competent.

After a first playthrough though, its fair game.

STALKER is fantastic vanilla anyway.

>>379247340
the base game of stalker is not good without mods

>>379247389
I disagree with you. I think it's fantastic. Some mods might make it better, but STALKER is pretty a great game vanilla, especially when it came out (minus the bugs)

>>379247469
Oh sure, so my playthrough of fallout with a one hit kill ray gun and all my enemies being replaced by teli-tubbies is just as valid as a normal run through the game, right? Oh, and of course the games graphics still rival anything made today, because mods let it be that way, right?

If games are being reviewed, sure, give extra points for being moddable, but don't tell me you know about how good the devs are at making actual games or about how good the game is by itself without the work of thousands of other people without playing the base game itself.

>>379246182
Is that the mod made by the Finn where the maps are autistically huge?

You would absolutely hate my current Skyrim playthrough

I'm not using any sex mods either

>>379247469
Moddability yes, but not mods in and of themselves. You can't guarantee anyone will make mods for a game, nor what mods people would use when playing. it's unfair and doesn't make sense to have a conversation about a game where everyone is playing a completely different version. Moddability is good, but people discussing games without referring to the fact that they used mods to change the experience is bad.

I played Vanilla STALKER and it was okay outside of the deluge of spawns you get going through Wild Territory near the entrance to Bar.

I used an unofficial patch for VTMB, though.

It's absolute bullshit.

If you wanna talk about mods, talk about mods, but mods often heavily change the experience, and if you play a game, you should indicate you were using them. That's my point.

Don't claim a shit game is good because a mod made it good.

>>379242823
i do it because my pans are all pretty small and i don't wanna buy a new one

>>379248232
I care about enjoying videogames, but I also care about developers being seen for what they are, and their actual potential and ability when it comes to making games. I care about having reasonable discussion where everyone has played the same game and can actually talk about it without inconsistancies between everyone.

>>379248265
It's a downloadable file that modified the game. It's as much a mod as any random graphics/bug fix mods there are.

The port is still complete garbage, and practically needs the mod to fix it.

>>379248628
Different of experience then. I absolutely DO see what you are referring to, but I also see the opposite, where people talk about why other should buy/try a game, and don't make any mention of the fact that they were using mods, despite it being obvious if you played the game, or people giving advice as to what weapons are great and stuff for first timers, again, forgetting that their mods made it that way. I dislike that. It's not as common as what your talking about, but it does happen and I don't like it.

Tons of games are moddable. There are thousands of mods for Half Life. Does all discussion about half life behave the way you're implying it does?

My main point in all of this is that I just want people to fairly represent a product when they talk about it. If they used mods and its important to the conversation, they SHOULD state it.

I recall one instance where someone was saying they were going to play call of chernobyl for the first time, and there was a person telling them what pistols they should get. The model didn't even exist in the game, and now the person believed that pistols were good weapons.

I want to avoid that shit. People who play mods sometimes forget what the base game is actually like to a person who wants to play a game normally. They shouldn't be giving them advice.

>>379249173
Having half the pasta out of the water for ~5 seconds is not going make a noticeable difference

Sorry for the rant I know it's off track.

>>379249574
I specifically stated that pistols weren't good in SOC, but some mods make them good.

Don't bullshit me like no mods exist that make them good.

I mean, I couldn't say which ones, I don't usually mod games (though I have been playing some Call of Chernobyl lately), but they would absolutely exist.

one of the main reasons I don't touch most minecraft tech or magic mods
They just completely make the game about them and you need basically a huge base for all the special stuff in them and to dedicate most your playtime to whatever main mod you choose because of all the stuff in them
